Hi, I’m fanmouse and I am driving the crack_van for NCIS this month. I had a little personal revelation while trying to compile my list for the month: I really like Tony. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I thought I disliked him, I just didn’t realize that I liked him as much as I do. See, I thought I watched this series for Gibbs (two reasons: Mark Harmon is HOT and I have many personality traits in common with Gibbs, even if there are no ‘B’s in my name), and Tony was just an ensemble cast member. Or maybe it’s that I like the ways people write about him, because every story on my list features Tony, either alone or in relationship with another character. Well, I suppose wanting [to keep an eye on] Tony is another trait I share with Gibbs. * g *

And maybe something else.

"What am I gonna do with you, DiNozzo?" Gibbs murmured as he wiped the drippings from the ice off Tony's chin with his thumb. "You just keep doing this to me, don't you?"
