Why this must be read: This has got to be the most powerful whumped!Tony story ever written. It tears me apart every single time I read it. There are only hints at what happened to him during the torture he had to endure; the story focuses on a Tony fighting madness caused by torture. The descriptions are so vivid and colorful, you can't help but feel Gibbs' helplessness and agony at dealing with his lover who is now trapped in a living nightmare. What makes this story even more of a gut punch is that there's no happy ending. You can only hope that time will heal Tony's wounds, but chances are it won't. The end makes me cry every single time because it's the ultimate declaration of love from Gibbs to Tony. Heed the warnings, but do yourself a favor and read this story!
Excerpt:
Tony does try to fight this, these moods and feelings that sweep him away like dust under a rug, but he almost always loses. There are pills of course, but Tony didn’t take them regularly from the start and eventually he stopped altogether. It’s not an issue Gibbs forces and he doesn’t want Tony to take something that makes him even less Tony-like than the sickness in his mind does. At least this way Tony’s still Tony, but a different version, the same and not; new, but definitely not improved. Gibbs lets it go and just hopes like hell that Tony will adjust and that his mind will acclimate to the curve ball it has been thrown. It’s still too soon though; Tony is still too new to madness and wrapped up in its sticky fingered grasp on him that he can’t head this stuff off like he will hopefully be able to do in a few years. As it is now, seeing him this far gone, Gibbs finds it damned hard to be optimistic, but he tries.
