The Second B is for Belonging, by Juli (NC-17)

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Author on LJ: As far as I know, not on LJ
Author website: A Journey of the Heart
Why this must be read:

Watch NCIS long enough (about two episodes, really) and you see that Tony will do anything for Gibbs. Call it hero-worship, call it love, whatever you like, the fact is that he'll do anything to win Gibbs' approval and respect. Juli gives us a good, long story involving what happens when Tony thinks he needs to be more like Gibbs, and how Gibbs reacts instead. And when I say it's long, I'm not kidding; she originally wrote this for a zine. Long fics are hard to find in this fandom, and good ones even more so. Definitely worth a read, especially when you've got some time. A little sweet, but hey, we all need some sugar from time to time.

DiNozzo’s first instinct had been to run. Leroy Jethro Gibbs wasn’t the first person in his life to be angry and disappointed in him. Running had always served him well before. In the post 9/11 world, Tony knew he’d have no trouble picking up a related job in any number of agencies. Or, he could put in for a transfer. With Gibbs as a supervisor, frankly, no one would be surprised that he needed a change in venue. A new job, a new start, and maybe he wouldn’t have such a hard time looking in his mirror.

At the thought, Tony glanced at his reflection and knew he was kidding himself. The lost look in his eyes summed it all up. Running meant leaving Gibbs and that was an idea that just didn’t bear thinking about.

“So, what the hell are you gonna do?” Tony asked himself.

His mind brought him back to Gibbs’ statement that they were at war. Wars needed soldiers; Gibbs needed soldiers. The playboy and the clown just wouldn’t cut it anymore.

If Gibbs needed soldiers, then, by God, that’s what he was going to get.

Thanks for the really good rec of such an enjoyable story!

I'm behind in my crack_van readings this month, so I'm now going to go and catch up on the last NCIS posting. :)
