Why this must be read: I rec'd this in our journal almost exactly a year ago. Weird. But I'm glad for the chance to pimp this story to a wider audience because it works so bloody well. The premise is one we've seen elsewhere in this genre -- Gibbs and DiNozzo are hot for each other, but Gibbs is reluctant to have an extra-curricular relationship with Tony. The difference is the waykelly_girl resolves the problem by having Tony turn his cop brain on. He works Gibbs like he'd work a suspect, substituting raw honesty for guile. He shows Gibbs just how well he really knows him, using techniques from his interrogation room toolkit.
I really like the waykelly_girl writes DiNozzo and this piece is a great example of how she balances his insecurities with his determination to get what he wants. The story is from Tony's POV, but she manages to convey Gibbs's intensity -- he's reserved without being cold.
You know, when I read this story, it almost made me want to stop writing Gibbs and DiNozzo myself. I questioned whether I really had anything to add to the genre because this is the quintessential Gibbs/DiNozzo first time story. It covers all the bases with economy and skill, but still packs a brilliant emotional punch. Plus, some excellent dialogue. I got over myself, eventually, but Frantic is just that good.
Oh, and? Really hot sex.
Tony's head thumped against the motel door as Gibbs crowded him. Their mouths fused together, hands reaching quick and sure, touching chests and hips, bodies keyed up and wanting. Everywhere Gibbs touched Tony, Tony touched Gibbs. Tony felt like he was about to explode; every inch of his skin felt too hot, like it was about to melt off his bones.
