“I was just…” he defends, trailing off while her lips skim along his jaw.

“Snooping?” she teases, voice warm in his ear.

"Looking," he emphasizes, burrowing his hand into her hair. It’s soft and wild and gorgeous today. She's so beautiful like this, with afternoon sunlight glancing off of her dark hair, and that bright glint in her voice that means that she’s not done teasing him.

He nudges her nose with his as she pulls back. His breathing is still quick from her touch.

Her eyes sparkle.

“Am I forgiven?”

“Maybe.”

He frowns exaggeratedly and catches her lips once, twice more. She laughs. He could get drunk on that sound.

“And now?” he confirms, after a moment’s pause to groan as her light fingertips trace up his throat.

“Tony,” she complains, but she pulls back to look at him with a teasing smile, and loops her arm once more around his neck.

He hums, kissing her jaw. “Zi-va,” he replies, making a crisp, drawn-out pronunciation of each syllable.

Okay writers, which are more difficult:

Titles

Last lines

[sheistheweapon]

T I T L E S. always titles.

a story or chapter usually tells me the last line and what feels right for the ending. but naming? picking the thing it will be called for eternity? nope. the worst.

me and @sheistheweapon finishing our long multichaptered stories at the same time <33

A frown tugged at the corners of his mouth, bending the line of his lips downward.

Her eyes stared at her feet.

She’d been in hiding for weeks now. For some time, she’d needed him. There was nothing that was a secret between them because her ability to function independently had been taken away by their youngest child. Tony had seen every inch of her and in a way he never had; it was intimacy, but not the kind that struggled in crumpled sheets and breathless moments. It was intimacy someone could only have with another person when they had no inhibitions left and codependency was survival. That was different from sex. So different.

Then less she needed him, the more she protected herself from him.

As if for even a moment, Anthony DiNozzo had ever looked at Ziva David as less than she’d ever been. He never had and he never would. In fact, quite the opposite was true. Whether Ziva believed it or not.

“Zi,” The nickname was gentle on his lips.

“She is still sleeping?” Avoiding the softening of his eyes that she could hear in voice.

“You don’t have to do that?”

“Do what?”

“Hide.”

“Who said I was?”

“That towel you have a death grip on.”

thank you for the tag always @indestinatus 🫶🏻

“and where we are now… never again.” ❤️‍🩹

ziva is so quick to make it clear she’s not over tony. it seems ridiculous that she even suggests they’d never be together again in the first episode when we watch her fall again, hard, fast & wholeheartedly, for the only man she’s really ever loved just a few episodes later.

but we also find out that sophie shared with her tony was dating someone; i think she takes the news of something like that coming from a friend to mean whatever tony & nicole are to each other is enough that it’s worth mentioning aka it’s IMPORTANT.

we watch her driving along, the little bite of her lip when she’s listening to tony discuss being really interested in another woman. the way she tries to play it desperately cool when he suggests going to his girlfriend’s house to hide out. her answer in therapy is makes so much sense when you watch this scene.

so i don’t think never again was dramatic, i think it’s ziva protecting herself & her feelings that have never gone away because tony is seemingly moving on. she’s not out of line with dr. lang, she’s deflecting.

WIP wednesday 📝

An easy quiet coated the apartment, settled with intention between Tony and Ziva. His hand came to rest on her upper thigh, an inch too close for her comfort.

She felt the way her cheeks blushed like a school girl who was on a first date with a boy from her class she had a crush on. It was like she had never experienced being drawn to him, or anyone. They were sitting on the couch, it wasn’t overtly romantic or suggestive and yet, the warmth of his fingertips through the denim fabric of her jeans made Ziva inhale, softly, but in hopes of not giving herself away.

“How about takeout and a movie?”

“So romantic,” Ziva kept her voice measured.

“That’s me,” Tony smirked. An eyebrow cocked. His eyes surveying her face.

“We have the night to ourselves and all you want to do is stay here?” Ziva returned the stare, even if it was forced.

“You’re doing it again.”

“Doing what?”

“Looking at me like staying in is exactly what you want.”

AKA the date (or lack there of) after the finale 💋

[sheistheweapon]

bedroom eyes like a remedy

NSFW / NCIS: tony & ziva

the wine is pouring. the apartment is quiet. tony asks ziva if starting over is something she ever thinks about; they are parents already after all, what would be so bad about doing it again? and what would be so bad about starting to try right away?
