Why this must be read: This might be the best fic I've read in a decade of fannish activity. Not one of the best fics, but the best fic. I was SO NERVOUS it wasn't going to be completed before this month was over. It's one of the reasons I signed up to drive this fandom in the first place. So there is that.

The truth is, I don't know if I could possibly do this story justice in these short sentences. It is at times gut-wrenching, powerful, sweet, heartbreaking and incredibly hot. Sometimes it's all of those things at once.

As an FYI, it's not necessary to know much of anything about NCIS to read this. You could treat the NCIS people as original characters and you'd lose very little, if any context.

The author's summary: The Washington D.C. tour stop goes horribly wrong when Kris and Adam are involved in an altercation with three off duty sailors that ends with one dead, Adam hanging onto life by a thread, and Kris accused of murder. A novel of love, desire, redemption, regret, and denial--not necessarily in that order.
