You've got Tony spot on here. I just love it. I really like that Tony says that he probably would have left if he didn't get the sea duty - it makes total sense that he would cut and run at that point... but I don't like the idea that Vance did something *right* there! Agh!

[kaylashay]

Yay for spot on Tony!

I know... I really think he would have had Vance not sent him away. So Vance did do the right thing... I think his execution just needs some work.

Grr Argh!

:-)

[sasha1600]

execution? You're *executing* Vance?! Oh, wait... hmmm... worth a shot anyway... *chucks plotbunny at you*

[kaylashay]

LOL!

That does read kind of... hinky

:-)

*plots his execution*

Yeah! I love that Tony was the one who wasn't ready... and now he is. And now we know why Gibbs was grinning after getting the letter from Abby. :-)

[kaylashay]

:-)

Yup. Gibbs is all happy because he does remember and he knows that Tony is ready for him now. :-)

Tony not being the one ready was a sudden thing that happened, but it just fit.

[tejas]

I can go either way with them. But yeah, it just fit. :-)

[kaylashay]

Thanks!!

I do love me some serious Tony.

I would love to see more about the friendship they have. They've worked together for 8 or so years (minus 4 months in Mexico and 4 months at sea) darnit... they need something more than what they give us to show that.

That was lovely.

It was very telling that Tony acknowledges that the team wouldn't follow him when Gibbs was in Mexico because they didn't know him, and that they were unwilling to get to know a new Tony. I always thought that was very sad.

I hope Gibbs listens to Tony and starts talking about his family.

Actually, I hope Tony sends the letter instead of just writing it for his own sake.

How many cookies will it take to bribe you into writing Gibbs' reaction?

Thanks for sharing! Happy writing!

Tabee :)

Thanks!

Tony did send this letter. This is actually the 2nd in a series of letters. It started with him and Abby writing back and forth here: http://kaylashay81.livejournal.com/107772.html

And it won't take much to get Gibbs' written response... it will be next. :-)

[novalinx]

This is the second? And that just proves how observant I am. The first one is just as awesome by the way.

You can have some cookies as a bribe anyway. *hands over freshly baked chocolate chip cookies*

Enjoy!

Tabee :)

[kaylashay]

The cookies will work just fine. :-)

I have Gibbs' response back complete and will be posting it tomorrow. Just know that it is significantly shorter than Tony's letter. Gibbs isn't as talkative. ;-)

Then there will be at least one more fic to this collection after his letter. :-)

[kaylashay]

Thanks! There are so many possibilities with those two it's mind boggling. :-)
