I've noticed that both here and Gibbs/DiNozzo slashers have BDSM fics. In fact NCIS has been the first fandom where I've really stopped to read those fics, as its the first one (according to my personal tastes) I've belonged to where it seemed plausible. As such, this entry in weirdfolks made me think of you all. Part of me wants to make these suggestions a fic challenge. XD I'll post the link, as the words are NOT mine and then copypasta the list under the cut.

Okay. I started with my list of plot bunnies. I actually spent a lot of time writing out my first one, a background/pre-series story...and in doing so I think I've convinced myself to try to write it. What the heck, I can do that and a thesis at the same time!

Anyway, here's the start of my list. Ideas are free for the taking. :D

1.    5.10, Corporal Punishment. In the scene at the gym where they try to take down Cpl Werth, Gibbs is kicked square in the chest. However, no mention is made of it, and when Abby is freaking out about Tim and Tony she doesn’t mention Gibbs either. Then again, at the end when they are detoxing Cpl. Werth from the steroids, and he slams Gibbs into the wall. Hard. But he’s completely fine, but the other boys are nursing injuries? Or did someone else make him feel better? ;) This is the specific plot bunny I was thinking of for Chirugal, so you know where my mind was going with this one. :p

2.    2.07, Call of Silence. I’m not sure what could/should be done with this episode, but it is by far my favorite. Seriously. I think it’s because my great-uncle served in the Pacific and my grandfather was in Europe during the war, so it has personal meaning for me. This was also one of the first times we got to see a truly thoughtful and intelligent Tony, IMHO, rather than his usual slapstick snarkiness.

3.    The unnamed/unexplained redhead from Seasons 1 and 2. What if she wasn’t a love interest. What if she was Shannon’s sister (so Gibbs’ sister-in-law)?

4.    2.09, Forced Entry. The scene where Gibbs throws the football. Why can he throw so well? Maybe he plays in pick-up games on his time off? Who does he play with? The “you know what friends are, right?” quote from Abby could play into this.

I'll add to it as I come up with more?

Title: Vignettes
Rating: M
Pairing: Gibbs/Abby
Summary: A collection of snippets from various Gabby genres.
A/N: Basically, I wrote this based on a meme-- you pick a pairing and write some drabbles from major genres. Adventure, angst, humor, etc. This is my very first attempt at writing NCIS, so any feedback is welcome, as I am considering writing a longer, more coherent fic. Thanks!

 

 

After a weekend of houseguests we are trying to put the place back together again, and doing not too badly! This means that I have not seen the last two episodes of Torchwood and have somehow managed to remain unspoiled, thanks be to cut tags. *knocks on wood*

Had appointment today with consultant doctor, all well with BabyHelsinkiBaby, who I shall at this juncture mention is being known for the time being as Nimoy. Those of you who know our surname will get the joke. Those of you who don't know our surname can now guess it. 20 weeks gone (and one day, but who's counting) and all seems to be well. Have big proper scan in the hospital on Friday, but Consultant did a scan with his little machine today. Nimoy is noticeably bigger than 8 weeks ago (as am I) and even waved to us... seriously, you could see the arm going! (As I said, just like Dad, already acting for the camera.)

Standard disclaimer, we don't know if Nimoy is a he or a she, nor will we be finding out. If drugs don't get me through labour, the surprise at the end might help.

Also, we are going to be getting our attic converted in the next couple of weeks. They may have to move our broadband cable, so we may be offline for a while. Details when I have them!

Summary: Entries from the private journal of Vincent Chase, a high paid male escort living in Los Angeles.

Entry 1-20
Entry 21-40

Billy's a wiry, manic bastard. He's kind of like a stray dog.

I figure since Merlin is on tonight, I might as well prime myself with other v.v. gay viewing, so I popped in Shelter, which I had from Netflix. And oh, my heart! Loved, loved, this sweet little film. Though, seriously, I don't know if it's my years as a soap viewer or what, I kept expecting some Awful, Horrible Twist to occur. One in particular, actually...

( My overactive imagination, let me show you it... )

The visuals were incredibly effective, and you really got the sense of Zach being trapped yet yearning to be free. and the close angle shots of Zach and Shaun together were breath-taking. I definitely have to buy this one and add it to my permanent collection.

Speaking of movies, I actually FORGOT that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was premiering this week. Oops. Must remember to get a ticket to see it!
