Why this must be read: I have denied my Tony/Ziva shipper love till now, but I had to get at least one fic in! This isn't romantic per se, just a look at how different members of NCIS (including Tony and Ziva themselves) see their relationship, and rarely is this view accurate. A very good, albeit brief, look at the perception of Tony and Ziva's relationship with each other. Well worth a read, even if you don't ship them.


The fights were always balanced by stretches of camaraderie but sometimes, when they really got going, Tim worried that it might turn bloody. He wished they would just learn to respect each other's foibles without it turning into WWIII every day. It was becoming a tiresome and disruptive routine.

Tim watched as Tony and Ziva stood at their respective desks, like boxers awaiting the bell. Then the verbal barrage began anew and they slowly approached each other until they were standing toe-to-toe. He wasn’t paying much attention to the topic instead he was focused on whether he was going to have to step in to send them back to neutral corners. He was reluctant to do that because last time he’d tried, they’d united against him. Tim knew he was bound to lose when Tony and Ziva joined forces.

He had to snicker when he saw Tony make the fatal mistake of poking Ziva. She took hold of the offending digit and bent it painfully; driving Tony to the ground. Tim figured that Tony was seconds away from yelling uncle. That meant that today’s fireworks were over and peace would reign at least for a little while. Thank goodness, he thought as he was finally able to return to his paper work. Tim sighed. He really did not understand their relationship at all.
