Summary: DiNozzo is going to forgive Gibbs, no matter what. Gibbs will make sure of that.
Author's Note: Written for the

slashthedrabble challenge, forgiven

I admit it. I screwed up. I quit, probably in the gruffest, most painful way possible. I said “You’ll do,” handed him my badge and gun and left him standing there, looking like I’d just punched him in the gut.

I should have said goodbye. I should have said thank you. I should have told him he was a good agent, that he was my friend, my lover and given him the respect and trust he always gave me.

But I didn’t.

I’m back now, but he doesn’t look at me way that he used to. His eyes are cold and distant, his tone clipped and careful. He acts like there was never anything between us but the job. Every interaction is terribly professional now. And I can’t find the words to make things right.

But I was never one for words.

So I fall back to what I am good at. Actions. I’ll make him understand why I did what I did. And why he needs to forgive me. I look down at him; naked and tied to the bed, the sleeping pill I slipped him starting to wear off. It’ll take some work, but he’ll be mine again.

Wow. You packed a punch in 200 words. I'm curious as to what kind of response Tony will have when he wakes up... especially if they didn't do tying up before Gibbs left...

I don't know if I want Tony to forgive this Gibbs... hmmm... it's a toughie..

... You! *dies* *re-reads* *dies again*

Uhm. I'm speechless. I mean. Wow. Fuck. I... don't know if I want to cheer Gibbs on or knock him out. Probably the latter. He is a bastard.

Awh, damn it. Poor Tony. The Tony in my head is wincing in sympathy, by the way ~~and he's also slightly turned on, but he's not admitting it~~.

So, uhm, yeah. Still sorta speechless. But, wow, i mean. That was one hell of a punch. I didn't expect that.

It's not something the Gibbs in my head would ever do, but I think that doesn't make it ooc at all - it's just a different interpretation and it works scarily well *whimpers*

Thanks. I'll have to admit I'm not sure where this would go next.

The second B is for Bastard afterall... glad this works for you, even if it's not in line with your version of Gibbs!

Yeah, it definitely is. God. I decided I want to hit him over the head instead of cheering him on. He deserves it.

And, well. It doesn't have to be my version of Gibbs to work or be ic, does it? :D

He certainly does deserve it.

true, the versions don't have to be identical but if I ever get too far off give me a head slap, okay?

Yeah, he does. My Tony isn't too happy with him, either. Now I wanna write post!Hiatus fic *headdesk*

I think I can do that, though I'm more likely to give you reasons why I think it's off - one way to convince myself that my version of Gibbs isn't the one ooc. I get insecure about characters a lot.

Gibbs does have this playful yet almost mean side that comes out sometimes- like in "Missing" when first he's so worried about Tony, then yells at him, then compliments him but end with almost making fun of/laughing at Tony. It makes it hard to pin down the character

Yeah, he's definitely a rather complex character and that makes him hard to pin down, as you said. And depending on which aspects one concentrates on, it's possible to get completely different versions of Gibbs that are still all consistent with the Gibbs we see on TV. I guess. Did that make sense?
Missing was such a great episodes *loves to bits and pieces* I think my heart broke a little when Tony said "My father was right... I did end up in the gutter."
But then, my heart breaks pretty much every time we learn something about Tony's family *whimpers*

That makes perfect sense. I *loved* "Missing" so much. And the looks we get of Tony's growing up really flesh out the character. It gives us fanfic writers so much to work with. He's this strong, tough guy, but is it all a mask he wears? Is he actually insecure and uncertain inside? How affect by his upbringing is he? What kind of scars does his "jock" and "womanizing" persona really hide?

That's why I love Tony so, so much. I mean, he can be annoying and obnoxious, I'm not denying that, but that's only the surface layer and... There's so much more to him.
That's why I also liked The Good Wives' Club so much - they said the killer had most likely been abused as a child and then continually compared Tony to the killer. And he just made me want to hug him so, so badly - incidentally, it was also one of the episodes where he was trying rather hard to be annoying and obnoxious. So I definitely think there's a connection there.

Did you read my story 'bout scars? You did, didn't you? I just had to think of that when you started talking about scars :D

I'm going to write a story in which Tony loses his memories and ends up being caught in the mindframe he had as a child. Not sure if I can pull it off properly, but if I manage, it should be interesting. And if not, well, it's a fic for

10_cliche_fics so I can blame it on the cliché *beams*

*babbles at you*

I'll have to rewatch that one, I only vaguely remember it.

Yep- your scars one was, nice isn't the right word- I loved the line about the scars that you couldn't see or something like that.

There are a few stories out there of Tony regressed to the mind of a child. It can be done well, especially if you did it for a cliche fic list!

Wow!!
That was incredible!
It made me feel all weird inside and I don't know if it's in a good way or a bad way!
Loved it.
Well done.

I don't know how I'll go about the story yet. Gotta study for my exams first of all and then there's a few other things I want to write more, but it'll definitely get written.

... He'll probably still have the mind of an adult, only with his defenses taken away. I have a summary line in my head, but it's probably cheesy as hell... Tony has worked for years to cover up the scars his upbringing has left. What if all those years were taken away from him or some variation of that. And, hell. It's a cliché fic. Can't blame me for writing clichés, can you? *tries to look cute*

Thank you- it's supposed to leave that sort of an impression.

I love your icon.

sounds good! I hope you get it to work. Yeah, yeah, school's all fine and good, but we;re talking fanfic here!

Oh wow. Very powerful.

glad you liked it

Yeah... I haven't written nearly enough this month. I'm going into withdrawal. But, well. Final exams, only five more days of school left, I figure I should probably study a bit. Maybe.

study. Then write fanfic

Good idea. Will probably do that now that I've got two weeks of holidays (one of which I'm going to be busy, but never mind *waves hand around vaguely*)

will you have time to catch up with Torchwood?

Well, yeah. If I had the episodes, that is. I don't. I do have the first four of season two and I'll catch up on those but the rest of season two... German law sort of prevents me from getting those and I haven't found anyone who'd burn and send them to me (haven't been asking, either, to be quite honest).

On the other hand, I do have every single episode of NCIS now, so I'm going to catch up with those for sure :D

oooh, lots of good Tony for you then!

Oh, yeah. And lots of new fics to add to my to-write list. If I can find the time, there'll be fic in which Tony gets his own team in Spain 'cause right now? I'm sorta pissed at Gibbs *growls* Just watched Hiatus, Shalom, Escape and Singled Out and... yeah.
