Past Present and Future by Ashleigh Anpilova (PG)

[toomuchfandom.livejournal.com]

This is going to be my last rec for NCIS. I hope you all enjoyed the stories I recced and hope you'll enjoy the stories nakeisha is going to rec here for you:D

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Leroy Jethro Gibbs / Donald 'Ducky' Mallard
Author LJ: nakeisha
Author website: Partners Forever

Why this must be read:

After Hiatus 1 (and 2) our worlds got rocked off our socks. The assumption of Gibbs and Ducky being friends for longer than 15 years got blown to pieces, along with other little things we had thought of in the friendship/relationship of Gibbs and Ducky (not saying much here, for those who haven't seen Hiatus yet...).

Ashleigh Anpilova is a fixer. And she does an amazing job fixing things. Like fixing the enormous hole Hiatus 1 and 2 blew in her little Gibbs/Ducky universe (which is a fantastic universe!).

I'm warning you, this story holds a lot of angst, but it's fabulous. Reading Ashleigh's stories always makes me say the same things: "Brilliant!" or "WOW!" it's like... I can't say anything else LOL.

Enjoy the read.

And then Jethro had gone away to fight in the conflict that became known as Desert Storm. Gone away to be injured and receive his Purple Heart, which, like all of his medals or awards, gathered dust. Some Ducky had. Some Jethro kept in some dark, forgotten place. Some, for some unfathomable reason, Anthony DiNozzo kept locked in a box in his desk drawer.

Jethro said his goodbyes to the three people he loved, and had gone.

Gone.

In some ways never to return.

When Jethro had opened his eyes fifteen years ago and Ducky had been with him, Jethro’s first words had been ‘I don’t know him’.

It had been the mind’s way of coping.

Of dealing with what he couldn’t deal with.

Wouldn’t deal with.
