Brains by B. Cavis (PG-13)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: None
Author on LJ:

Author Website: B/Side
Why this must be read:
Ziva is not my favorite character. I don't hate her like some fans do, but she hasn't done much to endear herself to me. This only makes it all the more impressive that this story managed to me make me both sympathize with her and want to read more of her point of view.
In Brains Ziva has a rather candid conversation with Kate's ghost. The candidness works precisely because Kate is a ghost, and it is both sweet and sad to see her relax with and take comfort from someone who is already gone.
But despite how much I like that part of it, I think I like the final scene with Gibbs best. The little differences between herself and Kate that Ziva sees just seem to recall the earlier comfort, even with Kate gone.
