Hello,

would you ever be in the mood to draw Aragorn and Arwen as king and queen of Gondor and Arnor?

You rock!

they got a happy ending and it was so deserved

thank you so much!

thatcaithness replied to this post:

Agree. And like, Aragorn? He has a Maia in his ancestry.

Aragorn and Denethor both do—the same Maia, since they're both descendants of Elros. According to Tolkien, the Stewards were too distantly/indirectly related to the royal family to ever claim the crown for themselves or be counted as members of the royal house, but they were still descendants through Anárion and their Elrosian heritage was still apparent (and very present in Denethor and Faramir).

Denethor and Aragorn are both throwbacks to their Elrosian Númenórean ancestors, which is why they look so much alike and have such similar vibes despite only being distantly related.

 When Ellie walked into the bullpen that morning, flagged by Nick and McGee, she wasn’t expecting the carnage she found.

McGee’s desk had been turned upside down – papers and files strewn across the floor, drawers open, and noises coming from underneath the vacant space where his chair should be.

“I told you, I don’t remember-”

“When I get my hands on him…”

The familiar voices broke through the sound, and were confirmed further when Ellie turned the corner to find a young girl sitting behind Gibbs’ desk swinging her legs.

“Albatross, albatross!” She suddenly shouted when she noticed their presence, and Ellie heard the crash of someone’s head on the underside of McGee’s desk. Tony’s head soon appeared, being rubbed by his hand, and Ziva’s followed shortly behind.

McGee, throughout all of this, had stood frozen in shock.

"Uh - guys? What the hell are you.."

"Probie." Tony sat up further, looking startled. "It's too late. Run.”

"I thought I was picking you up at the airport?"

"Uncle Tim!" McGee was interrupted when Tali suddenly came careering into him and wrapped herself around him.

"Hey! How are you?"

"Good. Ima’s very angry with you."

"Yeah, apparently. What's going on?"

"You were supposed to pick us up at the airport, yes. Until we were sat in Charles de Gaulle and Tony remembered that the photograph that is missing from a certain collection may have accidentally got left behind when he left NCIS. A photograph, as it turns out, that you were supposed to send in the mail."

"I never sent the photograph." The colour drained from McGee's face.

"I called Jimmy and got him to come and pick us up so we could beat you here. Just tell me where it is and nobody has to get hurt."

“What photograph? What’s going on?” Nick looked around in confusion, checking Ellie for confirmation that she also had no idea what the hell was happening. Before Ellie could say anything they were interrupted by Tali jumping in front of them. "Um. Hello."

"Hello."

"Who are you?"

"Nick Torres, this is Tali DiNozzo."

"Oh, Tali. Good to meet you." Nick raised a fist and Tali met it with her own.

"You are daddy's younger model."

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry, that is an.. inside joke. Come here, Tali." Ziva escorted Tali away from Nick and back towards McGee’s desk. “I cannot find it anywhere. Just tell me where it is.”

"What’s all this about? What photograph?” Ellie eventually asked, watching McGee sweat.

"McGee has a photo of me in his desk. A photo he knows was supposed to have been destroyed in the 2000s, I might add."

“Ziva, I swear I haven’t touched it. I completely forgot. It’s wherever Tony left it.”

Ziva turned to Tony with a look of accusation. “Well?”

“I – I can’t remember. They were probably in the bottom drawer.”

“With the rest of your dirty collection, yes?”

"The less said about the GSMs you used to keep in your desk the better, huh?"

"You're both disgusting."

"You're gonna take the moral high ground when you've got photos of my girlfriend in a bikini in your drawer, Probie?"

“What?! That’s – I mean, I do. But I forgot I did!”

“Um, what’s going on?” Ellie turned around at the sound of Kasie’s voice, file in hand and confusion on her face.

“I have no idea.”

“Hey Ziva. And I guess the guy crawling around on the floor is Tony?”

“Good to meet you.” He lifted his head over the desk briefly. Kasie’s expression echoed Nick’s as she turned back to look at Ellie, as though she’d have any more insight into the dynamics of whatever was happening.

Gibbs walked into the office holding a coffee cup in one hand and a short cup with a straw in the other. He put the drink down in front of Tali while watching the scene in front of him with a blank expression.

"Boss, Tony and Ziva.." McGee began in a fearful, childish voice that sounded like habit, before stopping himself. Ziva approached him, staring him in the eye. She stayed still for a moment, before stepping back resolutely.

"You are lying."

"I swear. Your senses must be off." McGee stumbled over the words. "I haven't touched those photos."

"Hmm. We will see."

Ziva disappeared under the desk again, her hands appearing either side of the underside of one of the drawers.

"You know he has a digital copy, right?"

"I know. But that is different. I remember you and I have had a conversation about this before, have we not?"

"Yes! And I listened!"

“OK, I’m just gonna… leave.. whatever this is. This is for you, Gibbs.” Kasie placed the files in his hand and walked back to the elevator. Ellie almost wished she could follow as the watched the three of them bickering.

"Aha!" Ziva hopped to her feet, holding a folded creased photograph in her hand. “It was behind the bottom drawer.”

"Oh yeah, that's right. I think it fell back down there once."

"Ha, see? Told you I was telling the truth."

"Damn, McGee got you? That's gotta hurt."

"I am just a little out of practice, that is all. Did you not wonder why your bottom drawer did not open properly? It has been years."

"I figured the less questions I asked about Tony's domain the better."

Ziva hummed. "I suppose that’s feasible."

“Apology accepted.”

As Ziva let out a sarcastic “sorry”, Ellie realised how different she could be to the person portrayed in  her diaries and the woman Ellie had met last fall (though, to tell the truth, she’d never seen any of them quite like this). It was obvious for anyone to see why she and Tony were such a good match.

"That's you? Damn." Ellie turned to look at Nick, who had picked the offending photograph up off the desk, in unison with Tony and Ziva. "Hey man, don't look at me. I'm not the one who kept it in his desk drawer for years."

Ellie hit him on the arm to encourage him to not get involved in the bickering that was about to start up again, and turned her attention to Tali who was watching the group with similar bemusement.

“Y’know, Tali, you probably don’t remember but me and you met when you were very young. My name’s Ellie.”

“Do you work here?”

“Yep. I sit at that desk right there.”

“Did you help ima come home?”

“That’s right.”

Tali flung an arm around Ellie’s waist. After recovering from the surprise she stroked her back a little, and as quickly as she had done it Tali dis-attached herself and ran around McGee’s desk to join her parents who were now doing sudden hugging of their own, swarming McGee.

"Mwah. It is good to see you."

"The hell is going on with these people?" Nick whispered with alarmed amusement.

"I wish I knew."

Ellie and Nick both went to sit down at their desks, watching the three former colleagues begin to straighten out the desk. Tony lifted Tali onto the surface and she moved the papers up there back into piles. They chatted as they worked, folding files and re-organising stationery and catching up. Ziva stopped at a family photograph and they were laughing now, whatever was happening before apparently just an everyday occurrence.

Once McGee’s desk was done Tony and Ziva got Tali to pack up her things and get ready to leave.

“We will see you for dinner, McGee, yes?”

“You seriously came to the building just for that photograph?”

“And to remind you I know everything.” Ziva tapped McGee lightly on the cheek as she walked past him. “See you tonight.”

“Thanks for your support.” McGee said to Tony as he and Tali approached him.

“You’re kidding, right? You got off lightly. She’s always a soft touch with you. Come on, T. Hotel time.” Tali hopped off towards Ziva, dragging Tony along behind her.

McGee watched them until they boarded the elevator and then turned back to the bullpen with a sigh.

"How long was it the three of you worked together?"

"7, 8 years?"

"Man. Poor Gibbs."

"I- no, that's fair enough." McGee sat back down at his desk and surveyed it with a frown. He pulled out his top drawer slowly and looked inside it before shutting it again. As he went to touch his mouse, he stopped himself, hand hovering in mid-air. "Can you guys smell superglue?"

"What?"

"No, nothing. Nothing. I'm.. being paranoid."

here: have a headcanon/story thing inspired by this post by my buddy @thatcaithness

Okay, so we know ‘In the Wind’ take place right around Christmas, right? Well, what if the reason Tony and Tali didn’t come to DC was because Tali was dancing in The Nutcracker! She’s five, right? What if this was her very first year getting to dance in the show. She feels so important getting to dance like four or five performances with the big kids and she gets to do two parts: a mouse and a reindeer. And she had two different costumes and someone backstage is helping her change and she’s all excited. 

BUT! What if one of her last performances falls on that weekend where Ziva comes home? What if she and Tony conspire to surprise Tali at the theater. What if, after one of the shows, Tali comes out to meet her dad, and her mom’s there. Just imagine the surprise and shock on Tali’s face. Her mom was there to see her dance! And Ziva gets to see her baby girl having the time of her life dancing on the Big Stage, and she’s happy-crying and everyone is watching this scene play out and it’s very sweet. 

And Tali looks up at her mom and is all “Ima! Did you see me? I was dancing!”

and Ziva is all “I saw you, baby! You were wonderful!” And then Tali tells her all about ballet and how much she loves and how good she is, and Tony and Ziva just lock eyes and kind of cry because dance was so important to Ziva and now their daughter does it too.

It has come to my attention that in the last couple of days someone started a war concerning a piano from a fic of mine that I don't talk about here a lot, but I wanted to address this.

The whole problem was about a character that most you are not familiar with, his name is DiNozzo, he's a good guy. This certain character, let's call him 'Tony' (it's shorter this way) needed a piano in my story because I wanted to add some songs to the fic. I thought it was a very songless fic, so why not use this opportunity to add one or two.

Some lovely people that I once had the decency of calling them my friends @justkindaoverhereobsessing @why-did-you-just-lie-to-mcgee @bamboo72498 @thatcaithness (I don't know about this anymore after this uncalled 'war') questioned about the ownership of said piano, because in ONE (1) line of a random chapter of my fic, I said it is actually his piano.

You see, this guy (Tony, his name) lives in Paris with his wife and daughter (you don't need to know their names for now) and my fic is about him getting married to said "wife". So I didn't really think about logistics before this whole issue, and just to share my process of thinking, it was quite similar to - he has a piano. I'm gonna put him to play it. That's it.

So a certain person (let's not share names, but you all know who she is @justkindaoverhereobsessing) decided to get drunk one day (as we do) and analyze every single scene of my fic (it's a very short fic, but whatever). So she said, and I quote her on this, "this random guy Tony is so extra he would ship his piano from Paris just for one night!"

Which then started a war.

Because I don't think he would (he doesn't like his wife so much, that's unfortunately just who he is) and it would make sense to have a decent piano in a wedding anywhere in the world. (By the way, this doesn't take place in Paris) So it would be even easier for everyone if he just uses the piano there available for all of this. It's just a random night anyway.

But apparently, everyone else (the said "friends") think that it is his piano, yes he is that extra to ship his piano to somewhere else, yes I need to come back and fix it what I had taken away (I put it wasn't his, just to clarify my take on this). But you see, I don't think he's so much of a perfectionist (especially with such trivial things such as his wife) nor he would even care to make this whole deal of a " party" a success. He's a good guy, but he's not that good.

So this war has come to an end (my words about this issue will be out with the new chapter, which at this point I'm just delaying as much as I possibly can) and I finally chose what to do with the real victim of all this (the piano).

One person knows the truth and what the future holds, for this is a very important issue, but I'm not going to expose her this way, because I'm actually a really good friend. (@why-did-you-just-lie-to-mcgee)

Thank you for bringing this to the surface and enlightening my lonely days on these difficult times. I hate this fic.

I hate this character.

I hate you all.
