I meant to review this on reading it... RL just took over...
I agree with your readers so far - you took the pairing and made it work beautifully, without losing either character's voice or 'style' - outstanding work.
I can't wait for the next one [especially DiNozzo's reaction.]
It's about time Tim [and Faith too] got the GOOD they deserved in a relationship.

Review of chapter "Playing the Hero" from Wormbait
Review:
Very good fic, and a surprisingly good paring.
Although if I remember correctly Tim has has some truely gorgeous girlfriends in the past that we see glimpses of or pictures when Tony goes snooping in his Ipod. So he must certainly have something to offer in the boyfriend department. Who knows Faith may be the one in for a pleasant surprise later that night. Which would mean extra embarrassment for Tim as we all know Faith wouldn't be able to keep from bragging about something like that.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
Comments from author:
The gorgeous girl turned out to be his sister though, so he lost alll bragging rights on that one. But you're right - there will definitely be a little bit of bragging ;)

Review of chapter "Playing the Hero" from dreameralways
Review:
At least you know McGee would never cheat on her or treat her badly, though he may forget her birthday. I'd love a short story on his after thoughts for that night.
Comments from author:
Can't see Faith being too concerned with birthdays, so he's probably in luck. Also, Faith might be the one to inflict a little of the 'bad' on sweet innocent Tim. You'll be able to read the consequences of riding in cars with Slayers soon enough. *grin*

Review of chapter "Playing the Hero" from Samarkand
Review:
I've heard you say elsewhere that you felt this McGee voice was too much akin to Xander's. Really, if I had to make a comparison with a BtVS char, it would be Willow's. And I feel it is uniquely McGee's. He has a bit of Xander's early haplessness, a bit of Willow's wry geekiness, and a whole lot of his own unique nature.
The "red light behavior" made me chuckle, too.
Comments from author:
Well, if nearly sinking your fangs into someone's neck isn't red light behaviour, then I don't know what is. It's somewhere between red and black (black=murder).
Hope you didn't injure yourself with all that flailing before *grin*

Review of chapter "Playing the Hero" from physicsteach
Review:
Faith having a thing for Jimmy Olsen types explains so much . . .
Comments from author:
I was gonna go with 'Zeppo' to tie in with the Xander-sex, but it didn't really fit. Glad you enjoyed.

Your story was terrific! Very nice job on both Faith's and McGee's characters. And you put in many laughs. I especially liked: Women, he corrects himself as a long-gone but still indignant voice echoes in his head. Sorry, Kate. Lol! Nice to see somebody still remembers Kate. I just hope McGee survives Hurricane Faith. Not to mention, fully intact and functional. Lol!
Comments from author:
I'm shamelessly pro-Ziva, but I think Kate had a hand in making McGee who he was. And it's kinda fun to think of Faith.. um.. breaking him in a little. *evil grin*
Thanks for the great review!
