Reviews for In The Dark
Vadercat chapter 18 . 5/14
The vignettes were great. Weaving a few separate stories about one theme. However, it could have been better, more seamless so to speak. Your stories jumped around in time line, and that certainly could account for when they were thought of. Personally I would have stuck to a timeline too, the stories would read smoother and the reader wouldn't be guessing when you changed the plot. A couple of times you can over into another chapter but I wasn't sure if you changed the story until I got further into it.
There is a time to leave your reader guessing and a time not to. When it comes to change of thought I don't want to be guessing, however when your leading up to a suspenseful scenario that's different, then it's okay to leave me guessing. ,,though snicker, snicker I might be cursing you for leaving me in a cliffhanger. There is an art to using cliff hangers as well. Some people use them every chapter, I don't agree with that style of writing. A well crafted story will have one maybe two cliff hangers in it but not a series of them. If you can't capture your readers interest without leaving cliffhangers every chapter then you aren't fulfilling your job as a well honed story teller.
Granted fan fiction is a great way to express your ideas, stories and fantasies, but it's a pretty good learning tool too. I try to leave constructive criticism when the potential is there. Anyways this is just one opinion and I hope you won't consider it harsh. I see potential in your writing and hope you continue.

I love this story. Please continue writing this. It is very good. I know it said end but I think there is more you can tell. And it’s not marked as complete. Please continue!

Spontaneously read this whole thing within 3 days (even though I already had it downloaded 3 years ago) and was reminded what a good fanfic looks like again. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Chapters 2, 7 and 14 were my favorites I'd say. Butterflies all around. Gonna check out your other work. I love this so much!

Jeanne was perfect for tony.

Ziva was a fucking bitch to him, but guess thats what fans lime find a guy who hides behind jokes whos been hurt alot and has very little family and then find a girl who's a complete bitch and everyone thinks they are perfect for each other.

No wonder men struggle to come forward when abused by a woman because the world is blinded by it and thinks its "cute".

So you know they cant swallow their tongue but you dont know you NEVER hold somwone down while they are having a seizure.

You never move or hold someone down when they are in a seziure you only move them if they are in danger and the danger is not something you can move but Never hold them down.

Restricting his movements will actually do more damage.

Adequate.
Guest chapter 14 . 10/26/2017
You're not actually meant to hold someone down while they are having a seizure its shocking how much people just write crap with out doing research to do it justice first

THIS CHAPTER IS PERFECTION. I DON'T EVEN LIKE TONY OR WATCH THE SHOW ANYMORE BUT DAAAAAAAAMN. YOU DONE GOOD.
MidwestDreamer chapter 18 . 6/12/2017
I found this chapter very unsettling, albeit well-crafted. There's a feeling of being so close to a precipice that one step, depending on its direction, will either send you over the edge or provide salvation. I have to say I was left wanting more; specifically whether Tony will be prone to a recurrence of basilar artery migraines...and the outcome of his decision to resolve things with both Jenny and Jeanne. In my opinion, canon never adequately addressed Gibbs's reaction to Jenny using Tony in her vendetta against the Frog, and I would have liked to have seen that explored here.

An excellent chapter...it just feels a bit unfinished to me.
MidwestDreamer chapter 13 . 6/11/2017
This chapter got me a bit misty; Tony's dreams/memories were like a punch in the gut. I loved the Gabby/Abby connection...brilliant!
MidwestDreamer chapter 12 . 6/11/2017
This was wonderfully heartbreaking...a perfect expansion on Gibbs's struggle to regain his memories, coupled with a phenomenal exploration exploration of the relationship between Tony and Gibbs. Well done.
MidwestDreamer chapter 11 . 6/11/2017
I have to break my own pattern of waiting until I've finished (what appears to be) a completed story before leaving a comment. This chapter is far too powerful to leave without sharing my reactions while they're still fresh in my head.

While in your story it was one his chronic migraines that brought Tony down to Autopsy, I had no trouble seeing the ensuing conversation between Ducky and Tony occurring in post-Hiatus canon...and it's one I wish the writers had thought to include. You did a brilliant job of expanding on what we were shown in the episodes following Gibbs's departure, and pairing Ducky and Tony for this vignette was genius. They were, to me, the two most affected by Gibbs's absence...and the way he chose to leave. With apologies to all who love Abby, I think the show's writers have taken her through the years from being smart and quirky to smart, quirky...and needy, with a soupçon of self-centeredness thrown in. You captured that change in her persona perfectly here, and it- along with the relating of how Tim and Ziva were acting- was an excellent springboard for Ducky's speech to Tony.

Although I very much liked the canonical twist (seen in a flashback) of Tony seeking out Jimmy for advice, connoting sort of a "passing of the torch," I think Tony's need/attempt/desire to hold everyone together would have extended to Ducky as well. This part of your story really struck a chord with me, as you gave Tony a bit of a respite from his own swirling thoughts and letting him know that at least one other member of the team had a true understanding of everything he was feeling...and that, with Ducky, he didn't have to jointly provide comfort and prove himself. This was an incredibly thoughtful and well-crafted chapter.

Fantastic chapter! I'm enjoying this collection so much, but this chapter really got me. Can't wait to continue my reading.
