I cried I was angry and just so many emotions so many twists and turns.

I just happened to stumble across this story a few days ago. My God! You are such a gifted writer. I just discovered NCIS last year (2017) and immediately Tony and Gibbs became my favorites. I also immensely liked Ziva, Abby and Ducky (he was a favorite from The Man From Uncle), so you can guess my age (67!). I also enjoyed all your monologues before each story and after. I feel I know you. You are funny, smart, loveable and charming. I remember reading a story years and years ago about an old southern gentlemen who ran the sort of ring that you are writing about. It was the front page story in a New York Times Sunday (or Saturday) article and it upset me so much I couldn't really read the article. I was maybe 16 or 17 and it horrified me. I also love a good smut story (between consenting adults) and I've been married for 37 years! hahahah Luv you Katie - keep up the good work and all the best to you!

Hey, just wanted to ask if the poem was yours or an actual one. Amazing portrayals of... Everyone! No idea who my fav was. Have to admit I saw the Amy thing coming about 10 chapters before it happened and was rooting for a better end for her but I do understand why that couldn't legally happen. Otherwise, just awesome!

This story...it was very good. Very believable and I love the way you get into the character's heads and keep them in character. one question though, the poem that was sprinkled throughout and shown in full at the end, who wrote it and what is it's title?

Wow! Seriously epic fic. I know you wrote it ages ago, but it's never too late to let you know how much I appreciated your hard work. Thank you!

Ok tony calling gibbs boss in a time like that and gibbs calling tony DiNozzo actually put me off so not realistic in my eyes

sad...why did they have to do it so soon?
and why a tit for tat, if penetrative sex is painful for tony
gibbs didnt have to be penetrated, as in, x or y...not all gay couples even enjoy coitus
and gibbs could have pleasured tony in other ways.
this doesnt make sense. it's like gibbs' character went backwards...
i dont know. too soon. too rushed. too sex.
and no mention of therapy or amy...
disappointed

two things, love how in character gibbs and everybody else is...
and, that you mention black characters.

i think there's a mole in the team...
maybe fornell? just somebody they know/trust but is in the ring

daddy is disgusting...yes, there's that tiny bit of sympathy but other than that...
all of the people need therapy but some of them are not worth it and should rot in jail

beautiful character development for gibbs
now i wonder if tony would believe him

so bittersweet

Yes, finally...
i cant believe it.
and tony is so smart!

Not sure about ducky POV. I don't think Gibbs abused Tony but his thought process about rape and victim hood is def. wrong
In that sense Gibbs is definitely thinking like an abuser

Can't wait to see who daddy is
Also, if amalea is tonys sister and I think she isn't
Maybe she resents Tony because he escaped and didn't take her with him
