Category: NCIS pre-slash angst hurt/comfort fic

Rating: NC-17 for content

Characters: Gibbs/Dinozzo

Series: Yes 1/?

Spoilers: Assume all of Season One esp. The Immortals

Summary: Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

Archive: Just tell me where it’s going

Additional ‘stuff’: Inspired by the idea in ‘Immortals’ that two people can communicate each not knowing who the other really is. For a while anyway. Also inspired by a fic I read in another fandom where two characters chatted in a D/s themed chat room.

 

Mostly a transcript of an online conversation in a chat room and (…) represent silent gaps in the conversations.

 

Title: Assumed names

 

Tony powered up his computer, took a sip of his beer and connected to the internet, settling back in his swivel chair. ‘Okay…who’s gonna chat to lil ol’ me today?’ Entering the chat room, his fingers labored over the keyboard.

 

TonyD enters the room

TonyD: Don’t worry. Couple of years I’ll just be a memory for him

 

Gunny: Good or bad?

 

TonyD: Bit of both probably. I mess up sometimes
