Fic: Life Is Made, 13/50-ish, PG-13

[colorguard28.livejournal.com]

Pairing/character: McGee/DiNozzo, Sarah/OMC, Jimmy/Abby
Rating: PG-13
Length: 8600 words
Disclaimer: Sadly, not mine — CBS and DPB own them. Fortunately, they let me play in this sandbox. :)
Summary: McGee gets cleared to come back to work, and the guys and Gibbs finally get their wires uncrossed.
AN:We're getting far enough into the story that some plot threads are going to start tangling together and that breadcrumbs from earlier will start bubbling back up. So now that I've hopelessly mixed and mangled my metaphors, just a reminder warning for folks: In this story and universe, as in real life, anything can happen. Issues might arise that will be sensitive to some readers but don't fall into standard warning categories. If you have a particular concern based on some plot threads that are out there, please PM me so I can let you know if there's a chapter you might need a special warning on. Close the window if you become uncomfortable — I'm happy to respond to a PM with needed info so you can keep reading after that moment if you choose. This is a story, and it often requires the characters find themselves in situations where they can react and — at least when I write — survive and overcome. Life is not easy for anybody, and the NCIS gang in particular seems to attract more than its fair share of whumpage. ;)
