Twelve Ways To Say I Love You by Ren (R)
Hi, I'm Nikki (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nakeisha) and I shall be driving the NCIS van this month.
I openly confess that I am a devoted Gibbs/Ducky slash fan, in fact they are my OTP (One True Pairing) insofar as I will not read about them with anyone else and with only a handful of exceptions, I only read stories in which they feature as a pairing. Thus all of my recs will feature, in some way or other, this pairing in a romantic and/or sexual relationship. Gibbs/Ducky are not the main pairing in this fandom, and they are older than the vast majority of fandom pairings, but their fans are devoted, as I hope to show with my choices of stories. I do also love Abby/McGee, and as a lot of Gibbs/Ducky writers also ship Abby/McGee, there will also be some recommendations that include both pairings.
So without further ado I give you the first of my recs.
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Leroy Jethro Gibbs/Donald 'Ducky' Mallard

ncis_tinsel 2006 Fiction Exchange. Nonetheless, for me this is one of the definitive Gibbs/Ducky stories; it shows two men in love without resorting to over the top and out of character actions and reactions. Ren's story is set firmly within canon and contains an established relationship, romance, love, friendship, the twelve days of Christmas, a touch of angst, team banter, sex, and this is all done without making the story soppy or over emotional. What more can I say? I just love this story.
Gibbs face became puzzled, wondering who would give him such a gift. It was unlikely to be his long time lover Ducky. There would be no need to sign the gift with a question mark. Besides Ducky knew he wasn’t a fan of this type of music, and certainly Ducky wouldn’t do something as ridiculous as this. So he immediately crossed out his lover from the imaginary list of possible prank players.
Would it be something DiNozzo would play, but again DiNozzo would know his life span would be cut short, as a result, so again another name was crossed out.
That left Abby and McGee, but again reasoning got the better of him. Any way he had better things to do, such as work, and curtailing the fun, currently pervading through his team. So he swiftly got his team back on focusing on their trials of their day ahead. However in the midst of business the cogs were turning in his mind as to who did leave that gift. And if the anonymous gift giver was staying true to that old song, well he could be facing 11 more days of odd tokens of affection.
