I was surprised with glee when I saw this on my friends list.

I love Colby. Even before we knew he was a spy. And this is so much fun. Poor David. Colby really puts him through the wringer.

You write John/Cam and now you write good Colby. You've almost scored the trifecta.

And me - I much prefer him and Megan to Terri.

You've almost scored the trifecta.

A trifecta is three right? So just out of curiosity, what's the third thing?!

*Points to icon.* The third thing is good Tony/Ziva or really any good, non-slash, NCIS fic. There isn't very much of it to be had.

I e-mailed you a little something to celebrate having finished your Big Bang piece.

Oh my God, you wrote me the other side! Thank you thank you thank you! Post it in your journal so I can link to it, please?!

I love David in that, he's so laid back about the big revelation (apart from wanting to knock some sense into Colby). I so love that he gets that there's more to the relationship than Colby thinks.

The pilot from Afghanistan - that's John Sheppard, right? Are the others actual characters as well?

Ooh I really enjoyed this. ♥ Your voices are scary spot-on. Had no trouble at all hearing the characters' voices in my head.

A line I especially loved:
“Me, African-American, Megan, female, you, gay, we’re like the poster team for equality and diversity in the FBI. Apart from Don.”

Thank you, that's really good to hear since I've never written most of them before.

Eee! David and Colby! I've been watching the show for the last couple of years specifically for them, and often wonder why there isn't more fic. Thanks for feeding my addiction. *g*

Also, that line about the recruitment poster is hilarious. Hee.

Thanks for commenting - there really should be more fic about David and Colby. And Megan I think I like the three of them better than the Eppes brothers anyway

Also, that line about the recruitment poster is hilarious.

Yeah, but wouldn't you want to join the FBI if you had the three of them to look at?!

*squee!* Awesome dear, awesome.

I've liked Colby since the first time I saw him in the show. Loved the dynamic between him and David and Megan - love her totally too.

I'd join the FBI if they were on the recruitment poster.

Thank you. The more I watch the show, the more I think I like the three of them more than Don and Charlie :>

I'd join the FBI if they were on the recruitment poster.

Wouldn't we all?!

I'm not a huge David fan but I really like the way you wrote him here. You've written some great dialogue too.
