Why this must be read:

I know that crossover day is the 15th, but quite frankly I have several crossovers I’ve grown to love. This is a gen story for NCIS, the slash pairing is in Houston Knights. I have never seen the show and this was my first introduction to the fan base but I enjoyed it. You do NOT need to know Houston Knights to read the story. I thought Tony was badly treated there for a while in NCIS and I enjoyed this AU story of how he might have reacted. I think it is a very believable alternative to the track the show took. I think it’s a darn good story by a good writer.

I love Tony's point of view all through this story, especially when he is interacting with the Houston police. His ruminations about the people there are fascinating. (trying hard to explain things without giving it all away.) Gibbs and Tony are good friends in this story but it is not NCIS slash and while part of me is sorry (I like a good slash story) the story works better this way. It has a good plot.

Author notes: This story is a cross over with a short lived cop show from the late 80's...Houston Knights. The main characters from that show, Joe and Levon, I've given an established slash relationship. Rating also reflects the use of curse words.

The sequel is not necessary to complete the story but is also a good read: Mirror Image

I'm really glad to see you rec this. I had sort of hoped that some Tibbsian slash might be worked in, but the way Tony and Gibbs' relationship develops and changes was so amazing to see.

It also reminded me of my forgotten love of Houston Knights! I was miserable when it got cancelled. So throwing NCIS in there was so happy making for me!

I'm surprised the link to the author website is still good since Geocities went out of business a year ago.

BTW: fix your link to the sequel. It goes to Creepy Frank.

Geocities users had the option of paying for the hosting space through Yahoo or something like that and being able to maintain the URL as it was. :-)

Good Rec BTW!

Thanks for letting me know about the link, there's something funny going on so I just posted the link straight. You know, at one time I could write html. :(

Aw, Houston Knights. I will be happy if that show ever comes out on DVD. I remember liking it when I was a kid.

I liked this story when I read it a while back. Glad to see it's being recced. I agree that it works better as a gen story- Gibbs is way too messed up for a relationship here.
