Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Tony visits the alma mater and takes a detour on his way home

I was sad when the powers that be killed off Kate; she had such a brother/sister dynamic with Tony that I enjoyed watching to the hilt. They had their moments where they wanted to scratch each other's eyes out, and yet they also stuck by each other, pulled together to play pranks on the younger sibling (McGee), and were generally there to support the other. Her death made such a hole in the team dynamic that no one has been able to fill.

And so ficcage where Tony comes to her grave to vent and seek clarification in his life is so in character. I could see him doing this in life, so why not in death? The banter and the caring that existed in their living relationship is so evident in this story through Justhuman's capable hands, even if the banter is one sided and the caring is ethereal on one side. Then Gibbs knowing where he'd be and ambushing him? How in-character is that, the all knowing Gibbs. :) Loved the kiss and the final goodbye to a friend that is dearly departed until the next time they visit Indiana.
