Notes: Back in April, I held a Tibbs iContest on my LJ. You can check out all the entries and the winners here.
I promised the winners I’d write them all a story inspired by their icon. Originally, I offered to do drabbles – fics of 100 words exactly. But when I came to do them, I found I wanted them to just be as long as they wanted to be – so I went with that.
My apologies for how long it has taken. First I wanted to finish Two Wolves. Then I broke my ankle and didn’t write anything for a long time. So, I’m delighted to finally be able to post them now.
The stories vary in size from 300ish words long to nearly 4000 words long. I started out thinking I’d keep them very short, in the spirit of a drabble, but somehow each one kept turning out longer than the previous one! Please don’t assume any value judgement from their length; I just looked at each icon and went where my imagination took me, whether it was a short ‘joke’ fic, or a longer, more angsty story. Or, you know, lots of spanky BDSM ;-).
Sometimes, my imagination was surprising; the best Tony icon is a story largely about Gibbs, and the best Gibbs icon is a story largely about Tony. Go figure! I tried to keep all the stories to one scene – except for the best BDSM icon fic which, once I had the idea, I knew would have to be comprised of several short scenes in order to do what I wanted with it, which was to contextualise the icon.
I did my best to capture some feeling or truth that struck me about each icon. I hope I succeeded. I’m posting the three shortest stories today, the longest one tomorrow, and the final one on Sunday.
Please make sure to admire each icon before you read – the stories work much better that way!
Thank you again to all the entrants of the iContest for making it such a great competition. You all rock!

This story is for Theeverdream who made the winning icon in the Gibbs/Tony romance category. When I looked at this icon, the two things that struck me were a) why is Tony wearing that big sweater and b) what sneaky, secret thing are Gibbs and Tony smiling about? So I wrote this to explain the two!
Hot
“What? No – it’s not that warm. There’s a definite chill in the air.” Tony gave a theatrical fake shiver as they reached the van.
“No, really, it’s hot. Oh wait – is that it? You think you look hot in that sweater?”
Kate poked him in the ribs, which, luckily, he couldn’t feel because of the very thick sweater. The very thick sweater that was making him perspire so much that all he could think about were the rivulets of sweat running down his back right now.
“That’s not why he’s wearing it,” Gibbs said, grinning at them.
“It’s not?” Kate raised an eyebrow.
“Nah – he’s wearing it to hide the big hickey on his neck,” Gibbs said.
Kate gave him a look of utter horror. “Tony, that’s disgusting! How old are you? Thirteen?”
“Hormonally? Probably.” Tony leered at her. “And you think anything involving sex is disgusting, Kate.”
“I do not. Just anything involving you and sex. You’re such an animal, Tony.” She gave him one last withering glance and got into the van.
Tony glared at Gibbs. “Why did you have to go and tell her that?” he hissed in an undertone.
“’Cause it’s true?” Gibbs shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.
“There’s no point me killing myself by wearing this giant, fleecy sweater if you’re just going to tell her the reason why! I might as well go around…you know…” Tony pointed at his neck with an agonised grimace.
“You should. I’d like it.” Gibbs leaned in close. “I don’t like the marks I put on my boy being covered up,” he whispered into Tony’s ear.
This time, when Tony shivered, it was for real.
The End
