Come You Back to Mandalay
My fic for NCISBigBang (can't believe I finished it!)
Title: Come you back to Mandalay
Author: banbury
Artist: amazing mella68
Pairing/genre: gen, pre-slash, Gibbs/DiNozzo (eventually)
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~ 12000
Warnings: AU, mild crossover with 'The Presidio'
Summary: Do you know Tony DiNozzo? Or let's put it that way - do you really know Tony DiNozzo? - They thought so. It seemed that he's as permanent here as Gibbs, but one day Tony'd gone... Gibbs leant over backwards to find him but nothing helped. Until one day.
Notes: Many grateful thanks to my wonderful beta nightshadow_t2, for her help with the text and also for her very kind words about the story. If you find here any mistakes - it's mine alone :-)
Take a look at the gorgeous pictures mella68 made for the story and admire them! And many thanks to krazykipper for all her work to put together NCISBigBang and for her patience :-)

part I ~ part II ~ part III ~ part IV and epilogue
PS. Just thought I'd explain why I wrote this story. I was always curious what would've happened if Tony liked it in his military school better and found that he fit in. On the other hand, I'm a fan of the film "The Presidio" and it was quite interesting to bring together older version of Jay Austin and Gibbs, to see if they click :-) And Tony, all brave and competent, was a tempting figure to write. When I finished it, I realized that it calls for a sequel.
PPS. As I'm not always a responsible reader and don't often leave comments on stories I read, I have no right to ask you to do it without fail, though I'd like to hear what you think. It's my first NCIS fic and I'm curious how accurately I pictured characters.
