I have to tell you, as good as this fic is (and it's pretty damn awesome), I'm really going to hate like hell when it's all over. This has been one, terrific read, written with such remarkable flare, rich with lush description and full of flowing action and dialogue, and I can only hope you've got plans for another fic brewing somewhere in that fertile imagination.

It's good to see you've put Gibbs and DiNozzo together on the same plane of existence in this part...and it's so good to see Gibbs offering the support DiNozzo needs right now. His time as a 'spirit' surely has left its mark...on both men.

Great stuff here. You're an amazing storyteller.
