Author’s Notes: This story was written for the NCIS Ficathon. I’m not sure this is what you had in mind, Diction Goddess, but I hope you like it. There’re spoilers for the seasons 1-5 and some for the current season. This story takes place sometime during season 5. I want to thank Dawn Rice for all the medical information for this fic, my beta Val for the wonderful and fast betaing job she did , not to mention all the encouragement she gave me to finish this fic. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her (now you know who to blame!), and Greywolf Lupous/Greyias for the all the hand holding. I originally had something longer planned for this, but real life got in the way. Still I hope you guys enjoy!
