This was gut wrenching. I did not forsee that ending, but I loved it. Must admit I got teary eyed when his friend admitted to not inviting him to the "family trip".

Heart wrenching, and well written.

Wow. Not the ending I was expecting but an enjoyable one nontheless.

Gut wrenching departure for Tony. I wish the MCRT team had felt his loss more, to be honest. They didn't deserve his friendship and contribution to NCIS.

Wonderful story, not gonna lie did start tearing up a little in some areas, came a little to close to home for me.
But it is a wonderful story and everything is in such good detail, also has there been any alternate endings to this story?

Great characterizations and soul-searching. Very well written.

I would have liked a follow-up a year later where Tony/Mark is opening up to people and making real friends, but then I'm a sucker for a happy or st leas t hopeful ending.

This was really good, thank you. I'm really glad that Tony stayed gone. I often had moments very frustrated with show thinking why would anyone stray in that work environment! Very glad to see him looking after himself and build a new life :-)

Good story.

Excellent story. If anything I would love to see Tony interacting in Eureka. I think that has tremendous potential.

This is a heartbreaking story but at least T..Mark found a place that appreciated and protected him. The team still have their heads up their bums and don't realize or take responsibility for the awful way that they treated Tony.

Great story, thank you

Great story!

That was amazing. It tore the heart out of me. I totally agree with your ending, even though I'd love for Gibbs and DiNozzo to have made up. But Tony'd been through too much. Thank you.

Like that Tony was able to start over and leave the people who hurt him behind. Thanks for sharing this.

I like this story very much, even if it is rather sad. I have to ask, though, did anyone ever get in touch with you to say "hey, I've written an alternate ending/sequel to this, and here's the link"? If so, would you share it, please?
Thank you for sharing your vision of the NCISverse with us.
