Now here's the Tony I like [a few quick thoughts on tonight's NCIS]

It's so nice to see Tony being an "agent" and not "resident dog on the prowl". He's being smart, he's improvising, and even though he ended up in no pants, it wasn't just for kicks for once.

And Gibbs bringing him pizza? Too freakin' cute.

"I love you, boss."

'Course you do, Tony. Who doesn't love their pizza-supplying sugar daddy?

And Ducky's car made me happy in my pants.

does Tony speak fluent Italian, or does he just know a few phrases? If he speaks fluent, it'd be nice to see it used.

Abby, you're so adorable. I love you muchly. "It's not a dress, McGee."

Aw, McGee/Abby nerd hug. He hugs her and moves her all at one time.

And now I don't like the show again. Why is she in a nightie? Couldn't she be in flannel pajamas or something? She's the director of NCIS, and while I don't doubt that she can do her job and wear sexy pajamas, I'd rather her first introduction into her personal space be with her clothed to some degree.

Also, her window is Mac's window from JAG.

Good Deity, I hate this sexual tension between Jethro and Jen. He's not supposed to be the type to let his feelings get in the way, and that's exactly waht's going on. Two season of charactization are starting to go down the drain.

Tim and Tony over the body are making me teary. What a great, quiet scene.

FORNELL!

Okay, the Gibbs/Fornell moment with the dog is insta-classic. "The dog smells like hell."

Cute dog.

Oh, Tony, you're movie nerdishness is so adorable.

Abby's hair just rocked my world. I love the tall buns on the top of her head.

Gibbs has a daughter? Is this news or did I miss a step somewhere?

Oh, Ari has daddy issues. Poor bastard. The fuck.

It's called therapy, you crazy fuck. Get a shrink and quit pointing guns at Jethro.

Oh, holy shit. Zeeba's not a skank, she's his sister. Wow. Didn't call that one.

Abby's parasol just made me teary again.

And Gibb's just tugged my heartstrings all the way out.

Aw, New Orleans jazz. lovely touch, Abs.

I hate to admit it, but I kind of like Zeeba now. I didn't want to, but she shot her brother, and that gives her some street cred.

Fic: Almost Funny Morning [1/1] Jon Stewart/Anderson Cooper [News RPS]

Title: Almost Funny Morning
Author: Perpetual Motion
Fandom: News RPS
Pairing: Jon Stewart/Anderson Cooper
Rating: PG
Notes: Sequel to "Unfunny Monkey". And an AU. Jon's not married here.
Summary: Anderson gets a surprise visit in New Orleans.

Disclaimer: I don't know these men. I made it all up and don't believe a word of it. That's why I call it fiction.

Author's Notes: Sequel to "Unfunny Monkey". There are a few brief moments of happy, but it's mostly angst again. And it's an AU. Jon's not married. There's enough angst in this story without that whole hornet's nest. For lunaris_, who writes that hornet's nest and also proofread this as bits and pieces fell together.
