skripka
Author website: along the rim; her NCIS fics are here.
Why this must be read:
My last rec of the month is my favorite; I saved the best for last. skripka is one of my favorite authors, in any fandom, and I'd recommend all her fic if I could because it really deserves to be read and savored. Alas, I had to limit myself to one--that's no reason you should!
I chose Names because there really isn't enough good genfic in NCIS, and this is a beautiful example of how it should be done. skripka takes everyone from Gibbs to Ducky to Kate and gives us a gorgeous insight into each of them. How we think of ourselves is vital to who we think we are; by showing us how these characters view themselves, she lets us be each of them. Seven characters, seven names, and seven jewels of ficlets. I cannot praise this highly enough.
The Corps changed him. No longer Jethro--he was called every filthy name imaginable by everyone imaginable. It made him strong, it molded him into Gibbs, cocky and deadly.
Gibbs married Shannon in uniform and smiled at her in her white dress and for a brief, glorious time, he was more than what his name had molded him to. He was part of a family.
Kelly's Daddy was his favorite name of all.
