How do you think Gibbs would react to significant other getting covid?

Succeeded to get it for the second time

I think he would be strict about the amount of rest and fluids they should be getting, making sure that they ate and if they didn’t, he’d pick something up on the way home from work.

If they’re one of the people that are really scared of Covid and don’t want him to get sick, he’d tell them it’s just another sickness, there’s nothing to be scared about, and he’s already been injected with so many things in the Marine Corps, it wouldn’t effect him.

If they weren’t one of the people that were really scared of Covid, he would tease them about how terrible their immune system was and he swears they’re doing it on purpose just so he can take extra care of them, which he does not mind at all.

Either way, there would be more cuddles, more phone calls to check on them when he’s at work and less time spent down in the basement so that he’s right there if you need him. 😭

early tiva + eating noodles

I'm seriously considering saving every one of my personal days for whenever NCIS: Tony & Ziva drops so I can stay home and watch and sob and fangirl without any adult responsibilities for a long weekend

[setmeatopthepyre]

I am begging everyone who wants more Lou Ferrigno Jr content to watch S8 E20 of NCIS: Los Angeles

[television-overload]

I feel like there's two very distinct types of Tiva fan on Twitter. I mean I'm weird about them, of course, by non-fandomy people standards, but I feel like in a Normal way. Then there's the ones that are Weird about them. Typically older (in age) fans who maybe don't understand personal boundaries of social media quite as well 🥴

Am I obsessed with NCIS in that I think about it a lot, keep up with the news, and write and read fanfiction? Yeah. But there's a whooooole other side of Tiva Twitter that is... different. Like parasocial to the max. Yikes.

Vacation

oooh anon this works well with a little noodle i had recently for a coworkers/office au!

the sun is out, her hair looks great, the weather is perfect for her new outfit, she feels good, she looks good - but the one person she wants to look at her isn't here.

"Beatrice is out today," Lilith had said from across the table, not even looking away from her computer screen, "maybe you'll get some actual work done while she's gone."

Ava had rolled her eyes and accidentally tipped over Lilith's jar of pens as she'd passed by her desk but even that hadn't been satisfying as she'd stepped outside of the office by herself.

she isn't mad - really, she's glad that Beatrice was taking time off. ever since Ava had started at the company at the beginning of the year, she hadn't once seen Beatrice take a day off from work. sure there were appointments here and there, but Ava saw see her at least once a day everyday, on her way to grab a snack from the pantry, or offer to get some coffee, or ask Beatrice to look over a document that had nothing to do with her department.

Lilith always rolls her eyes when Ava comes by but the thing is, yeah people say all the time to "reach out anytime!" but Beatrice is different. when Beatrice had been assigned as her 'onboarding buddy' for her first month on the job, Ava had learned that a) Beatrice knew everything there was to know about the company and b) she actually means it when she says to come to her for anything. no matter what Ava has for her, no matter the time of day, Beatrice has never turned her away - at most has had Ava wait as she finishes an email or come back if she's on her way to a meeting, but she always, always makes time for Ava. so excuse her for feeling off for not being able to see her favorite person.

Ava huffs, pouts to herself, then decides fuck it, she has no meetings, nothing urgent this afternoon: she's taking gonna take a long lunch. so she heads for a park a couple blocks from the office, the one Beatrice had pointed out during her first week and she finds the fountain Beatrice had mentioned with that small smile that had made Ava a little breathless and a lot enamored.

she can tell why Beatrice likes this park - it's a lot like her, Ava thinks as she eats her sandwich. it's quiet but full of all sorts of beautiful things if one looks closely enough, waits long enough - the birds hiding in the trees, the sparkles in the fountain, the soothing summer breeze. she can imagine Beatrice sitting at one of the benches, maybe reading a book, or a cup of tea, or in a soft hoodie and red eyes -

Ava blinks. realizes she's not imagining things at all.

she swallows down the last of her sandwich, watches Beatrice carefully. there's a heaviness about her, a weight on her shoulders and yet she doesn't seem truly there - eyes distant and unseeing, or maybe seeing something that isn't there.

and Ava gets it. she gets needing to be alone and it feels like she's intruding, sitting here, seeing Beatrice like this. she gathers up her things as quickly and quietly as she can, turns to leave -

- and trips over the bench she'd just stood up from, introducing her face to the grass.

"excuse me, are you alright?"

Ava groans because of course Beatrice would help; of course she'd have to see her like this.

"yep, I'm good. just bruised the ol' ego."

"Ava?"

she groans again, rolls over, squints into the sun - realizes, fuck, there goes her perfect outfit - and smiles to hopefully ease the concern on Beatrice's face. "hey Bea." she gets to her feet with Beatrice's help, brushes off the worst of the dirt, holds back her sigh at the grass stain on her pants. "so uh, I thought you were on vacation."

Beatrice purses her lips together and shrugs. "not really. I just - it's easier, to just take this day off."

Ava racks her brain for all the facts and trivia she's learned about Beatrice over the past few months, but nothing comes up in connection to this particular date. "okay," she says, still watching carefully. "do you - do you want me to pretend I didn't see you?"

something bewildered passes over Beatrice's face and Ava just - keeps going. "I can if you want - because you're supposed to be on PTO and all, like, I don't know, do we need to sync our alibis like on those detective mystery shows or something?"

Beatrice raises an eyebrow; Ava tries not to swoon. "you think I'm taking time off to commit a murder?"

"shh, we're in public, you don't know who might be listening!" Ava flaps her arms as if to wave away any spying ears.

Beatrice stares at her for a moment then softens; laughs. "you're ridiculous."

"and you haven't denied it," Ava says pointedly. "but nah, you're probably the red herring character, like you're helping the victim's family by doing something not exactly totally legal but you give the investigators a really important clue that helps them find the asshole murderer, so technically you're a hero in the end."

Beatrice sighs, heavy and curling into hoodie, into herself. "I'm nothing of the sort, Ava."

Ava leans into her for just a moment, just close enough to bump shoulders. "yeah you are, Bea. you're a hero to me."

there's disbelief in Beatrice's eyes so Ava keeps her gaze as steady as she can, thinks: i know what you are. thinks: i believe it even if you can't yet.

Beatrice looks away. Ava waits, watches as her fingers play with the hem of her hoodie, listens as she takes a deep breath, feels something shift when Beatrice meets her gaze once more. "you know I -" a flash of white as teeth sink momentarily into her bottom lip; Ava again tries not to swoon - "I don't think I'm familiar with those shows," Beatrice says.

it's hesitant and indirect but Ava knows an offer, recognizes a heroic effort when she sees it. "do you wanna watch some episodes together?"

"you don't have to go back to work?" Beatrice asks but Ava is already typing out a message on her phone.

"nope. and Cam just said I'm good to take the rest of the day so I'm all yours." Ava pockets her phone just as she realizes her word choice; decides to just lean into it and waggles her eyebrows for good measure.

she's rewarded with another laugh and the faintest pink across Beatrice's cheeks. Beatrice looks away again, looks back and smiles. "thank you, Ava."

and because she can't help herself, and because she wants Beatrice to know she means it, Ava reaches out to take her hand. "anytime, Bea."

DANIELA RUAH AS KENSI BLYE NCIS I LEGEND Pt. 1 & 2

Hi, welcome to OSP. I'm Kensi.

[chiefdirector]

Have you done a list about Being Best Friends with Ziva? If not, I'd enjoy that!

Being besties with Ziva would include…

I’d say that you both work together as I’d imagine it that you would be the most welcoming of her to NCIS

Kate’s death did hurt, and it still does, but you know that it wasn’t Ziva’s fault.

So you take her out for coffee during a slow period in the bullpen (you snuck some work onto Dinozzo’s desk)

She initially didn’t want to open up to you but found that with time she could confide her thoughts and feelings

This eventually grew to a strong bond between you two

At least once a morn the pair of you will have a sleepover. You each have a bottle of wine, you would bring crappy movies (this is how she caught up with Tony’s constant movie quotes and references) and she would normally cook some Israeli food for you two

Every once and a whole Abby would also join but it was usually just you two

During these evenings you’d discuss everything that had been on your minds

Coffee breaks became ritual for weekends also. Every free Sunday, you would meet in a cafe in between your apartments and people watch.

Ziva loves that she can just be quiet with you. That she doesn’t have to talk. She just likes to exist by your side.

Ziva tried to help your dating life along, she will set you up on blind dates - she does stop after a while, especially since one went disastrously bad

In return, you tease her about being in love with Tony

Your friendship with Ziva is like no other, she does not trust many people, but she chose to trust you. And there isn’t a day that she isn’t grateful that she did.

Nothing..just Mike Franks being the most amazing Mentor\ Friend\ Supportor to Gibbs. Seriously the way he looks after Gibbs🥹 I have always loved their friendship and Bromance so much in the og. But origins gives even more depth and meaning to this wonderful friendship and I'm sooo here for it.

Also Kyle as Mike Franks is absolutely killing it. He is just livin' as Franks right down to even the slightest mannerisms. His acting is so good and his charisma? 🥵 I didn't think I would end up loving a character as much as I love Gibbs but Mike has been a show stealer with his incredible performance and I can't wait to see more of this duo.
