Extenuating Circumstances by Nix (NC-17)

[dustandroses.livejournal.com]

I'll be your NCIS driver for the month of November - my apologies for the late start. According to crack_van's guidelines, we should be placing an emphasis on fiction we feel represent "especially outstanding and accessible examples of your fandom." But when I took a look at the memories, I realized that a good number of my favorite good, meaty reads are already listed. So I decided to go with what I know best - Smut. I read mostly NC-17 rated slash and that's what you'll find the most of this month; but I do make the occasional exception, so don't be surprised if I show up with a het story from time to time. I hope you enjoy!

Why this fic must be read:

Nix is one of the best NCIS writers around, and this fic is no exception. Good exposition, and a nice set-up for the scene only help make the actual sex hotter and more intense. I love her descriptions - she drops in just enough to make you see the scene in your mind, but not enough to distract you from what's happening. The fact that this particular story is told from Tony's perspective works for me, especially since this is one of the rare Gibbs/DiNozzo fic in which Gibbs is on bottom. That doesn't always work very well, but in this fic it fits just right.

---

Tony finds himself at Gibbs's house, nervous at being called there just an hour after they left work. When he's presented with evidence that puts his career in jeopardy he has no clue what to do next. Fortunately for him, Gibbs has an idea or two.

God, Gibbs's mouth. Hot and so careful at first, as if he was just testing the waters, just seeing how much Tony would let him get away with. The more Tony kissed back the more Gibbs gave him, his tongue reaching out for a slick caress. Tony drew it into his mouth and sucked on it slowly. Gibbs's fingers were curling around the nape of his neck now, holding him as Gibbs twined his tongue about Tony's and drew it back into his own mouth, letting the taste of him overwhelm Tony. Distantly Tony registered the soft sounds he was making in the back of his throat. Hungry sounds. Needy sounds. He leaned forward after Gibbs's retreating mouth and found his hands braced on Gibbs's thighs, firm, broad muscle under his fingers.

Gibbs's hand tightened on his neck, holding him for a moment, just long enough to pull their lips apart. "I want you in my bed," Gibbs said, low and hoarse.

"Okay." Tony's heart was pounding, but he didn't hesitate. "Let's go."

"You have to let me up first," Gibbs pointed out, lips curving up slightly.

Tony looked down at his hands on Gibbs's thighs. "Right." He took his hands off Gibbs and sat back.

Gibbs stood and stepped away from the coffee table. "Coming?" he asked, looking back at Tony.

"Yes!" Tony jumped up. "Definitely. Sorry."

Gibbs chuckled as Tony stepped up next to him. "I'll consider it a compliment," he said, settling a hand at the small of Tony's back as he guided him up the stairs.

I was just putting together tonight's newsletter, and lo, a rec! Of one of mine! *beams* Thanks so much! *smooches*

Of course, now I'm covering my eyes in agony at the "Gibb's" right at the beginning of this scene. It's on my website, too. Must fix. *goes to do that now*

LOL. I hadn't even noticed it. I corrected it in the excerpt, too. I know stuff like that always drives me crazy.

And you're so welcome! I wanted to rec the Myths and Revelations series, but someone already did that. But hey, there are so many other good ones to choose from... *g*

I'll second that rec. Nix is definitely one of the best and Extenuating Circumstances is one of my favourites.
One good rec deserves another. Another one of my favourites is Turncoat by Dust and Roses. A must read.

Awwww...that's so sweet! Thank you! When I took on Crack Van this month, I never expected to get my own fic rec'd!

:::hugs:::

And rightly it should be rec'd....in addition to the always fabulous Nix. You are keeping very good company.

:D

Thanks for fixing it in the excerpt, too. *g* That's one of the typoes that makes me wince the most. Seeing it in my own fic was epic-cringe-worthy!
