Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: In a world where the line between imagination and reality blur, Tony finds himself struggling with the fallout.
Another supernatural!Tony fic, what I really like about this one is the unique supernatural trope it explores and the way that trope provides some insight into Tony's character development and his relationship with Gibbs. There is a ton of shifter wolf and precog fics out there, but this is one of only a few (the only one I can think of right now off the top of my head) seeing dead people fics. It's a talent that's both tragically heavy and yet heart-lifting-ly warm at the same time. How Swan uses it to show how Tony has developed into the independent and giving man that we know he is makes for a very engrossing read.
And then there's how it's used to start his relationship with Gibbs. The acceptance that Gibbs had for Tony's talent just made me smile 'cause of how much it showed his trust for his Senior Field Agent. Even when he gets information from seemingly out of nowhere, Gibbs acts on it with total trust and faith. Then Shannon in the basement... I'm sure my eyes weren't the only damp ones after reading that; even Gibbs was a bit teary eyed. I enjoyed reading Shannon's blessing on Gibbs having a new love in his life, someone to complete him and bicker with. A story that will definitely stay with you.
