I loved it! Your portrayal of Ziva is so much better than the show's who're just so...one dimensional.

"Mossad put her in chains of security and purpose and now that they're gone- Ziva got some whiffs of freedom before and she thought she might like it. Now she has it, and realizes that it's more complicated than that." These two sentences are just one example of brilliant insight and expert use of the language.

I'm getting used to your style and I enjoy it very much. I hope you publish something else soon. The three little tidbits have whetted my appetite for more. I understand that you're busy, but still I'll ask...surely the new season has given you something to write about?

Thanks for posting this.

Oh gosh...this made my head spin (in a good way), and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I'll need more time to process it, probably.

But I just love the short lines that tell the stories she has experienced in life; they describe her so well! If anybody ever succeeds in defining her...*shivers*

Wonderful work!

I have to admit, I read this without knowing the characters or the show and I was still impressed

Good fic. I know the SF sucked. I loved the non-linear way you tell your stories. Well done.

Very well written. I enjoyed it immensely, as I share your opinion that Ziva's character has been quite one-dimensional and that the writers need to show the audience some of the complex emotions she's clearly been experiencing. Thank you for an accurate (in my opinion) glimpse into Ziva's head.

Jumped around a bit, but really beautifully written. Well done! :)
