    Summary

    NCIS Agent Tony DiNozzo unexpectedly becomes the sole guardian of his 12-year-old daughter, Rory, after the death of her mother, Lorelai Gilmore. He’s forced to balance the loss of his best friend, the pressure of leading a new NCIS team under Director Vance, and a steep learning curve in how to raise a child, all while helping Rory to navigate her own grief. Tony has kept Rory’s existence a secret for her own protection, but that all falls apart as new challenges appear, new allies emerge, and they build a new normal as a family one day at a time.

    As Rory struggles to find her footing in Washington D.C., haunted by nightmares and loneliness, Tony must redefine what family, loyalty, and leadership mean. Tony seeks an unconventional solution to returning a sense of control to his daughter: female empowering self-defense lessons. What he couldn't have expected Rory to find through those lessons was a fast friendship with President Bartlet’s daughter, Zoey, which proves to be a blessing and a complication all at once.

    Grounded, emotional, and full of heart, three fandoms are blended together in a story of grief, resilience, quiet romance, and the power of found family.

    Summary

    Everyone goes back in time. It’s just a thing that happens every now and then. Usually it’s just a day, or two, or three. Sometimes a week. A small percentage go back months. It just happens. Completely random. No rhyme, no reason, no discernible cost, no obvious benefit. Some people change their decisions, some don’t. But the Manus Dei are a breed apart. They go back years, a decade, more. They serve a patron with purpose and reason, and while the changes in their actions always have great benefits, the personal cost is also great.

    Summary

    Yesterday, all he had planned for tonight was playing softball. Now, a bunch of zealots were holding him hostage, and his ex-girlfriend – who’d recently accused him of murder – just happened to be along for the ride. He’d seen movies with less of a plot.
    Jeanne Benoit returns to Tony’s life in a very unexpected way.

    Summary

    When Tony overhears that Gibbs thinks he needs an attitude adjustment, he knows two things:
    Office scuttlebutt will have that juicy piece of gossip spread across the Yard in way less than twenty-four hours.
    And second? He knows that this is the straw that broke this senior field agent's back.
    So, he's leaving the MCRT for sure now, but is it worth staying at NCIS or taking one of these many job offers he's received over the years?

    It's time for best friend Rick Balboa and a surprisingly sympathetic (eventually) Director Vance to come to the rescue, and then it's bye bye MCRT and hello becoming Rick's 2IC. Oh, and they need popcorn to enjoy while watching all the fireworks. Just how is the MCRT going to function without the DiNozzo magic? About as well as you'd expect, as it turns out.
