I must have read this a dozen times since I stumbled across it. Fantastic story, and a smooth blending of both worlds. I enjoy more every time I read it.

You know what? I'm not really all that fond of Ziva for no real reason, I think it was the whole her- brother-killed-Kate-and-she-got-Kate's-job bit that annoyed me about her. Yet again, you appear to have given me insight about someone on this show, which actually I've started on and off watching again. But, I don't mind Ziva too much, and I had to feel sorry for her, reading about having to kill her brother. I liked that she had it proven to her that Ari was working against her, and was then willing to believe him guilty of almost anything, and I liked the compassion that Willow treated her with as well. Hmm, I don't know that I'm being all that coherant, but I enjoyed this insight as always. Good work!

Your coherency is just fine! Honestly, I'm not really fond of Ziva either, for about the same reasons as you. (There's also the fact that she seems a little too 'constructed' at time - like the whole 'problem with english slang' thing was just thrown in to show she's not perfect.) However, she's in season 3, which I'm approaching with my Connections series, so I need to learn how to write her. I've also discovered that trying to figure out what it is about Ziva that doesn't sit right with me, helps me to understand her character a little better. I'm happy you enjoyed this one. :)

Excellent, but terribly sad, story. I thought you did a very good job on Ziva David's character. And Willow's too, for that matter. Thanks for the story.

Yeah, I was kinda melancholy when I was done. I'm trying to learn how to write Ziva, so I'm glad it's working. Thanks.

Quite interesting. Is that in the same world as your gibbs being her uncle? Quite good indeed :-) you have a nice grasp on emotions, and your rhythm is smooth.

No, this is a complete stand-alone fic. It was a plot bunny that needed to get purged so I could concentrate on other stuff. Glad it worked. Thanks. :)
