A collection of unrelated Densi-drabbles, stretching over different stages of their partnership and relationship.

The anger, the frustration, the self loathing and the worry consumes every bit of you. It seeps into your bones and won't get out, no matter how hard you try to push it away or cover it up. [Tag to 5x19, Spoils of War]

"You buy drinks for all the ladies, huh?" Deeks shrugs. "Only the special ones." [Densi, AU]

"The thing is, dying is unpleasant. We all know that fact to be true. But death is exceedingly more unpleasant when it's stretched out over long, arduous weeks of waiting for someone or something to come and save you." [Kensi's kidnapping]

"Are you, um… are you my nurse?" The question feels somewhat reminiscent of a dagger to the gut.

"Everyone knows that they're practically mad for each other." [Densi, High-School]

"One way or another. Just… wait for me, okay?" [Tag to 5x10, The Frozen Lake.]

"I'm just trying to make this work." Collection of post 5x09 Densi drabbles, relating to 5x10.

"As they spent each and every day with one another, sometimes there was heat. Actually that wasn't really true: there was always heat between the two of them. Even careless and seemingly inept conversations that they shared usually lead to flirtatious remarks, and neither Kensi nor Deeks was sure how it would all play out." (DENSI) Romance/Humor/Drama

"She bumps one shoulder into his, her sights set on the double doors leading out to the parking lot. Yeah, it's gonna be a good night." [Densi, One-Shot for episode 5x09]

After that day, nothing would ever be the same. [Post 5x03]

His eyes glazed over, and Kensi knew that he was just gone. Hollowed out of all emotion like an empty shell. [Post 5x01, Ascension]

"Dinner, Kensalina?" [Densi, One-Shot]

"It was still fun, Ferny." [One-shot, Established Densi]

"It was that word again. Partners. For the time being, that was exactly what they were: just partners. And Kensi utterly despised that fact." [Post 5x05 one-shot]

Their story hasn't ended yet. [NCIS:LA, Post 5x03]

"It had felt as if the world was collapsing in around him. But just in the knick of time, Kensi had swarmed in and begun to help Deeks pick up all the broken pieces before he suffocated beneath their colossal weight." [NCIS:LA, Post 5x02: Impact]

"I'd felt a part of me disappear, as his absence made everything drearier, like I was the one dying rather than him. I just couldn't force that bloody image of Deeks to leave my mind. I might not have been able to see his baby blue eyes before he completely disappeared from my sight, but the exact second I clamped mine shut that was all that I could visualize." (One-shot)

"Deeks seemed so kind and genuine, yet still somehow sad and stifled, like there was something he wanted to say but just couldn't for some reason. Her mind wandered as to what that could possibly be, and her heart nearly stopped at what seemed like the most obvious conclusion: that he thought they were more than partners as well." (DENSI)
