I discovered fan fiction in early 2010 and quickly became addicted! I tend to write and read more fluff/WAFF than angst. I love to explore relationships between people, so my writing tends to be more devoted to that.

Favorite TV Shows: NCIS, Rizzoli & Isles, Castle, The Mentalist, Perception, Major Crimes (mostly because I love the relationship between Sharon & Rusty, as well as enjoying some of the other characters)

Favorite Pairings: Ziva/Gibbs, Ziva/Jenny, Ziva/Abby (gee, sensing a theme there?)

While those NCIS pairings are my first loves, I also feel compelled to add that I totally ship Jane & Maura on Rizzoli & Isles...I mean, come ON!

I LOVE words and so I love quotes. A few of my favorites...

"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Gandhi

"Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." - Perhaps a combination of a J.M. Barrie quote and one of Plato

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good (people) do nothing." - Attributed to Edmund Burke (and Ziva's favorite quote!)

4/25/2011 - The "Revelations" reception (ch 17) songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q2rZb7E0EY&feature=related (At Last by Etta James); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVhrIfaPKxw&feature=related (Hero by Mariah Carey); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFYBLwb3I84&feature=related (Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Elton John); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjsjZWlRVvo (When You Say Nothing At All by Alison Krauss) (Could there be a more perfect song for Gibbs and Ziva?)

Here's one link that says that red and white roses together mean unity http:///flowermean.shtml; there are others, too. Perfect choice for a Zibbs wedding, yes? =) (And how's this for serendipity: I actually chose those flowers for their wedding based on the "second first date" flowers, then came across the additional meaning for the combination. Cool, eh?)
