beheading

Tony thinks that he has it all. He has a job that he loves. He has friends that he thinks support him, and he has a man that he is crazy about. Even if Gibbs is somewhat reluctant to take the next step. That's ok. It's normal right? That's just Gibbs, right? Not so much. When the bottom falls out, Tony finds himself turning to the past in order to find his future. The last thing he expected was to find everything he'd always been looking for. Aaron Hotchner loved his career. He hadn't once regretted the sacrifices that he'd made to get where he was. OK, so his life away from work was fairly empty, but it didn't matter because the team was a family. It didn't matter that his marriage had failed, because he loved what he did. He'd lost his wife to long hours and a refusal to have a child. He always assumed some day they'd try again. Then one day a serial killer takes that away from him. Hotch decided there would be only work from then on... Until a passionate, angry man returns to the FBI like the prodigal son with scars as thick as Aaron's own. He has to admit that he is more than a little... intrigued.

The events of Dead Air have unexpected consequences. What seems to be the worst thing that could possibly happen turns into the best possible outcome. Tony moves on from NCIS, and finds a real family with his pseudo father replacement in David Rossi at the BAU. With it comes new love, the return of old love, new friends, and the possibility of forever. Of course there is also new co-workers who can't accept him, the long reach of the grim reaper, and Senior making his presence known no matter how impossible it should be.

Tony is tired of everything. He’s trying to be the best leader he can be, its never enough. Director Shepperd is trying to force him undercover. It is time he left before the job destroys him. One man steps forward and makes sure Tony is taken care of.

The team goes through more changes, grow together and learn as a team. Well, most of them do, anyways... But you never know, maybe we're all surprised?

In the aftermath of Dead Air, Tony DiNozzo decides to reach out to the father he’d been mostly ignoring for the last year for help and support. What he doesn’t know is letting Patrick Sheppard in will change the course of his career and eventually lead him to family, love, and acceptance.

Tired of manipulations from NCIS Tony quits, and goes to Hawaii with his son TJ for an overdue vacation. While visiting the grave of a cop who saved him as a child, Tony runs into an old friend who may be able to extend a helping hand. Danny Williams never forgot the boy he met as a child. He knew from the moment he saw him that the kid was his guide. Unfortunately, the adults in his world insisted that a child couldn't possibly know such things. He'd long ago given up hope of finding him again. The last thing he expected was to have him walk through the doors of H50 with Danny's nerve wracking partner.
