Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo, Gibbs/DiNozzo/Shannon
Rating: Explicit
Length: 40,600
Warnings/Spoilers: canon-based child/family loss
Summary:
Tony DiNozzo was a college kid, living life to the fullest. Leroy Jethro Gibbs was a Marine working his way up the food chain and trying to stay under the radar. Shannon Fielding was writing lovely letters to her best friend giving the appearance of a long term relationship to keep him safe.
When Jethro writes to her about his new friend, she is excited to meet him. The three form an intense friendship, the boys even gift her with a simple band of gold nearly identical to their own, and Shannon agrees to carry their child.
Until the accident. The murder of the two people most precious to them. That's when it all falls apart. Years later, when Tony tackles his husband in an alley in Baltimore, he punches him square in the jaw before dragging him into the station. How the hell will they handle this? And why the hell did Gibbs offer Tony a job, after ten years of silence?

Posting Guidelines:
- You must be a member of the community to be given posting access. Please check on the profile page and make sure you have joined and are listed as a member.
- Typically the Author makes the master post to the community. The Author and Artist are both allowed to post on their scheduling date. This is completely optional. It is perfectly fine to only have one post.
- Authors may post one piece of artwork in their master post along with the story links (and can post all of the available art, or as much as they want, with the story).
- Artists may create a separate art post, with one piece of art showing, on the assigned posting date. If there is additional artwork for the story, the additional artwork can be placed behind an LJ cut and/or can be linked. Artists are also welcome to include the story links if they would like.
- You may make your master post to LJ, DW or both as long as it is on your scheduled posting date.
- Post only on your scheduled date, your time zone (any time on that date is fine).
- It is entirely up to you as to where you post your stories and artwork, LJ, DW, AO3, etc. It is also fine to post in multiple locations.
- Do not link locked posts. Please note, if you do not accept anonymous comments, you may be missing out on some feedback.
- You may post a locked post to ensure everything is correct, but it may not be unlocked prior to your posting date and must be unlocked before your master post is made to the community.
- The artwork and story may be posted together, separately, or both (meaning the art can be posted or linked with the story, but the artist is also allowed to post their art on their own site).
- Artists, in the event that your Author is unable to complete their story in time to post, you are still welcome to post your artwork on your scheduled date.
- It is okay to post a small teaser (3" x 5" or so is fine) or thumbnail to the community, however, if you are posting a larger piece of art, please put it behind an LJ cut. If artists are posting multiple pieces of art on a community post, only one should be viewable as a teaser, all others must be linked or placed behind an LJ cut.
- If you post to AO3, you may link to our 2017 NCIS Big Bang AO3 Collection.
- If you would like an AO3 invite please contact solariana at jacieleigh (at) gmail (dot) com with your email address.
- We appreciate links back to the community/challenge!
