Why this must be read:
Caz is better known as an angst writer; indeed her previous recs have all been for her angsty stories. However, she is far more than just a one-genre writer, as In Totidem Verbis shows; it is in fact, my personal favourite CausticQuery story. It's an incredibly simple set up: Gibbs comes home after several days and joins Ducky in the shower; where they don't have sex, they make love. The story a moving, hot, affectionate, full of emotion and feeling, tender, very in character, slash story that shows the deep love and affection these two old friends and lovers have for one another. All of the sense come into play during this story, not just for Gibbs and Ducky, but for the reader too.
Eyes closed, he never heard the door open, never heard his assailant prepare, wasn’t aware of anything in fact until standing beneath the heated spray of water, the shower door opened. The bottle of shower gel was taken from his hand as a familiar presence settled in behind him, closed the door again and reaching over Ducky’s head adjusted the height and angle of the spray a little. Recovering from his surprise, Ducky sighed softly as arms wrapped around his middle and he leant into the contact of the firm chest against his back, the warmth of his body as soothing as the steady heat and flow of water over admittedly tired muscles. Opening his eyes he smiled as the hands in front of him busied themselves creating a rich lather, then moved towards his chest. His eyes slid closed again at the first touch of soap suds guided by slightly calloused hands, head falling forward as they moved in tender circles.
