{gasp!} This story is breath-taking. Well done, indeed!

Really nicely done. Thanks for writing.

brilliant! I'm tearing up

WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME CRY LIKE THIS, YOU EVIL PERSON?! TUGGING AT MY HEARTSTRINGS WITH ALL THE- *waves hand randomly in distress, while trying to stop crying*

Oh sweet Jesus, you took me completely by surprise! I did kind of wonder how Tony could take so much time away from his own team to mentor Tim.

I really like this Tim - so strong and when he is sure of himself - he is brilliant.

Tightly written with the new agents fitting right in with the old.

Thank you for this great story.

Damn. You made me cry.

Hi, you've done it. I was sobbing all through chapter 8, no matter that I had caught on to Tony right in chapter 2. McGee was perfectly drawn, and he made me proud ... yes, I can see him take on the responsibility of director.
And you've done yourself proud, that was one heck of a story!
Thank you very much! Cheers!

Tony's been a ghost, this whole time... No wonder no one else saw him! This is a really interesting story. Thanks for writing!

Cute story. Set into the future. Mcgee as the director of ncis. I can imagine. Love it.

Amazing. I've read this three times in the past week, and I've cried every time. Of course Tony would stay behind until he was sure McGee was going to be OK. And of course Tim, once he was able to stand on his own again, would understand why Tony had done it and would feel grateful/guilty/sad/stronger for it. What a beautiful depiction of their friendship. Thank you for a truly amazing story.

wow this is amazing- I started to suspect that Tony was a ghost/ fantasy when Janice came into the office and didn't interact with Tony and Mcgee thought that HE was caught arguing again, it was a certainty when Tony didn't embarres Arnold in defense of his probie lol

really really loved this

I just...

Woah. I've been on a fanfic kick for the past couple weeks and woah. I think I realized that something was up with Tony, but I wasn't looking at this as in depth as I could have been. I was not expecting the end at all, really. Woah.

This is just so excellent and I just can't. Thank you for gracing us with your prose and creativity. Also, this [review] is like two years late? That's nice. But yeah! I really enjoyed this :)

*randomness* The Music Man opens this Thursday at :undisclosed location: ermahgerd *end randomness*

Fantastic story. Like, woah.

I think I knew a couple chapters in that Tony wasn't alive anymore, but it still made my throat tighten when I read that I was write.

I read this story a while ago and have just spent 2 days searching the 'net so I could RE-read it. Part of it is painful - but watching Tim grow and "get it" makes it worthwhile. Upon re-reading, it's interesting to see how well written - and how carefully - the disparate natures of Tim & Tony are written. I have just made this story my first "favorite". Thanks for the good work!
