MIchael and Cote

The Marine Corps birthday ball was an occasion that drew magnificent crowds each year. Dignitaries, honorees, heads of state, and military officials alike turned out dressed to the nines for a night on the town. Most years, the ball was standard, formal and dignified. This year, however it was given a theme: masquerade.

This year’s ball also came paired with an unverified threat of an attack on the Secretary of Defense. Security had been bulked up early, which is how Tony ended up wearing a black and red mask Abby had provided, watching from afar as the SecNav schmoozed with private contractors,...

Warm baths are the best.


“Ziva, I’m home,” Tony called out as he walked through the door. The living room was empty and tidy. “Ziva?”

“I am in the bathroom, Tony,” her soft call travelled through the apartment.

Tony made his way to the bathroom and found Ziva up to her neck in a bubble bath. He smiled at the sight of her. “Comfy in there?” he asked as he sat down on the floor beside the tub, using the toilet to lean against.

“Yes, I may have over done it at the gym yesterday,” Ziva sighed sleepily as she let the warm water ease her aching muscles. “I was thinking that we...

She’s on her way out of the bathroom, in her bra and panties as she hears the knock on the door. The knock on the door throws her off. He called her earlier that day to tell her that they were pulling an all-nighter.

Surprised but happy she pulls on her silk rope and opens the door. She barely has time to register him pulling her to him, covering his mouth with hers.

He’s moving his hands up her hips and suddenly he rips the robe off her, hurling it to the floor, and digs his fingers on her ass as he brings her closer to him.

He finds the nearest wall and shoves her up against it and then...

"Come on, Ziva, it can’t be that bad!" Tony chuckled from his position on the countertop.

His grumpy wife stomped into the kitchen, and Tony couldn’t stop himself from chuckling.

"Well…it uhm…very pink…and black…"

"It’s horrendous," she interjected, angrily scowling at the layers of fabric around her.

Tony took this as his cue to hop off the counter and move toward her.

"Hey, you only have to wear it for a few hours. And then you can change into the gold one for the reception," Tony smirked.

Ziva rolled her eyes. “Anthony DiNozzo, you know full well that as soon as I put on...

All right, this one has been on my computer for a long, long, long, LONG time. And now it's going up. Enjoy :)

She watches his ashes scatter in the wind.

She wishes, for one moment, that she'd had the chance to say good-bye.

But he was snatched from her life too fast.

She'd never even said thank you.

She felt guilt for it every day.

She can still see his face in her mind, saying one word, just before...

Please...


Gibbs looks across at her from the cemetery.

He knows how much this is killing her inside.

After all, he witnessed it.

He saw her kill him.

He knows the pain she's going through.

He knows her sorrows....

Hell-O! I'm back with another quick little fluffy Tiva one-shot! If you ask me, I prefer writing angst, but it's the holidays, so you get FLUFF! Merry Holidays to you all, even if it is a bit late!
DISCLAIMER: Do I have to say this? I DON'T OWN THESE CHARACTERS. IF I DID TONY AND ZIVA WOULD ALREADY BE MARRIED. (WITH TWO KIDS AND A DOG.)

Tony's chair was leaning against the wall when McGee fell off of his.
Even Gibbs cracked a smile at the furiously red McGee, who had chosen to fall and roll across the floor- to land right in front of Abby.
Gibbs in all of his good humor told McGee to get up, brush...

Chapter 13- Don’t give up on me

Tony was humming to himself as he walked into the bedroom. As much as he loved lounging around the house with Ziva, he was thrilled that they’d finally be doing some real work tonight.
But He stopped in his tracks and the tune he’d been humming died on his lips when he found Ziva standing in front of the mirror above the dresser. She was wearing black jeans, a short sleeve black t-shirt, and black suede tennis shoes.
A 9mm pistol was holstered on her left hip and she was strapping on a Kevlar vest and hunter’s knife in a holster on her right. He swallowed...

The beautiful little girl of about three sprinted from the table where she’s sitting towards the door of the daycare room as soon as she saw her father entering.

Tony had barely stepped into the the door’s threshold when the little bundle of giggles just launched herself without warning towards her father’s legs.

“Daddy!”

“Oof! hey, slow down!” as he lowered himself into his knees to match the little girl’s height and gave...
