FIC: The Dog at His Command (Tony, Gibbs, Victorian)

[sequitur_fic]

Okay, after this, I promise I'll stop bombarding you all with fic for a while, because we're to the end of what I have already written. But people were asking during Gentlemen of Last Resort about why Mr. Anthony is so often "Mad" Mr. Anthony, and this might go towards explaining that. Then there will be a little bit of a break, while I try to

Oh Tony, you are ever faithful to Gibbs. He gave up a life of of Gentleman to be Gibbs' assistant, or dog as some would say, and couldn't be happier.

[sequitur_fic]

Tony really is adorably loyal--and no, he couldn't be happier. (So I always suspect that though he's not overly partial to people calling him Gibbs's dog in this 'verse, he doesn't mind it as much as Gibbs does.)

Your writing is just so good! I love this series of stories.

[sequitur_fic]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them.

Aww! Is there any greater loyalty than Anthony's to Mr. Gibbs? I should think not.

And I'm really not sure how long I'll be able to wait for another installment, as I've come to quite enjoy your frequent postings. Careful-- I might just break down and try a hand at this myself. And that certainly would not be pretty.

(I attempted to post this under my LJ username, jaxzwolf, but the site has informed me that I have been banned from commenting on your journal. Er... I'm hoping this is a mistake of some sort? If not, say the word, and I will disappear.)

[sequitur_fic]

Ahh! I have not the slightest idea how that happened--I must have accidentally clicked the ban button instead of the reply button at some point, but it was entirely unintentional. I always love your comments! So I've unbanned you, and I'm terribly sorry about that--total accident. Stupid LJ button placement.

And you should absolutely try your hand at the Victorians! They're delightful. Come on over to the steampunk side of the fence!

Ahhh, it's Requiem! Hey, are you going to do us a jinormous favor and re-write ALL of the NCIS episodes in Victorian-verse? Or just the Tony whump ones?

By the way, I had a good giggle when you posted the Back to the Future story the other night. I'd just gotten back from a Jukebox the Ghost concert, which doesn't mean anything except that they had totally played a cover of Huey Lewis & The News' "Power of Love," which is to say, the song from Back to the Future. It was like, woo, meta.

Great catch with Requiem--absolutely what I was thinking of. And ooh, I don't know. There are so many possibilities for Victorian versions of the Tony whump episodes, at least. Frame Up? Under Covers? It's mind-expanding, but intimidating. I must consider it.

And it's always weird when real life echoes stuff like that--I'll add it to my growing list of evidence that I secretly control the universe.

Do you also control Criminal Minds? Because they did an episode this week that was quite similar to Requiem. Only they had TWO federal agents to save ONE blond college girl who reminded somebody of his daughter, rather than the other way around. And neither of them had had the plague.

[sequitur_fic]

I think I control Criminal Minds only to the extent that my love for Reid makes them whump him all the time so people can emote over him. Seriously, between Reid and Tony, the "who has it worst" battle would be intense. (Also Hotch, of course--he should definitely be in the running, since I love him too, and he also suffers beautifully.)

I miss being bombarded with fic.
