You should be proud....

I knew it was DiNozzo before I ever got three sentences in, and I knew Gibbs would be there...

And darn it...you made me cry...I should know better than to read fic at work darn it.

Oh, thank you! I'm really glad it worked for you, but I'm sorry I made you cry. :)

I've always wondered how Tony actually reacted in the immediate aftermath. When he turned toward Gibbs, I always thought he looked kind of lost and numb, and I've just always wanted to know how they got through those next few minutes together.

Aw bless, beautifully done. Naturally Gibbs was there to pull him out and anchor him and of course Tony obeyed.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it, and I really appreciate the comment.

Gibbs can say so much with a smack to the back of the head, can't he? And I don't think Tony could disobey an order from him if he tried.

I had a feeling which episode it was, because it would be such a horrific state for Tony to be in. I'm glad Gibbs was there for Tony.
This was so well-written...sparse and full of emotion. Great job.

Hey, hon. Thanks so much. :)

I think, even with all his years in law enforcement, Kate was the first partner Tony'd ever actually lost. And for her to die standing right in front of him, and for him to end up covered in her blood, I really think would have been too much for him to handle all at once. And poor Gibbs, I think, would have done anything to keep from losing them both on that rooftop.

Twilight's one of my favorite episodes ever. There's so much emotion and concern infused in it to start with. It was a good springboard.

*Sobs and clings to you*

Dammit, DiNozzo can hurt me so bad...thank goodness Gibbs is alway there to catch me when I fall.

Beautiful honey...

*HUGS*

Wow, that was just... wow!

Thankyou.

Wow ... I was holding my breath too. Great story, very emotional. Poor Tony.
