Review :
Here I'm reccing one of the best fill of the NCIS 2011 Bigbang called "a thousand miles (mend what is broken)" but I really think it works best if you also read it prequel "to where the sun is brighter".

I've always wondered what would have happened if Tony did choose to go to Rota after Gibbs came back in season 4. And I can't help thinking it could have start just like this fic.
I like how Tony grow up in this fic, accepting to leave what he knows behind him, and how he makes it work.
Uncaused shows the difficulties of uprooting one-self very well and how you need to work on how to get a new life.
My only regret is that this fic goes a bit too fast. The conclusion is nice if a bit too unrealistic but in my opinion it comes a bit too early. Nonetheless, it doesn't change what I most enjoy : Tony thinks and choose and acts for himself and not for everyone else (namely Gibbs or his team) unlike what seems to happen in a lot of fic.

"A thousand miles (mend what is broken) is also accompanied by two wonderful fanvid by [livejournal.com profile] luthien82, be sure to also watch them (links in the master post).

All of these links appear to be broken. I've visited the author's livejournal directly, but even their own links to each part of the work are broken as well. Just FYI. Is there another way to access this work?

Nevermind....I managed to find the fic over on A03--the author is going under a different nom de plume there.
