Why This Must Be Read: There are a lot of stories out there dealing with the effect Somalia had on Ziva so it's refreshing to see one that looks at how others are handling the aftermath of that summer. Burning Bright shows us the night Tony and Ziva shared in Paris, while Come hither, Sleep continues the story through the next couple of episodes. I'm not sure what I adore more about these stories -- the evolution of Tony and Ziva's relationship, Tony's good night wishes for Ziva, or the pitch-perfect characterisations.

Rating/Warning(s): PG13
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP? No
Special Rec: 22/100
Why This Must Be Read: Bittersweet but perfect. This story looks at Ziva and Tony's relationship from the day they met until the day Vance split up the team at the end of season five, and spins out both what-is and what-could-have-been. The writing is lovely, the imagery beautiful, the romance simultaneously sweet and painful.

Why This Must Be Read: This story is all about the characterisations. Tony is perfectly Tony, Ziva is absolutely Ziva, and together they're both taking steps to move on from the drama that came to a head in Somalia. Beautifully written and characterised, this story is a hundred kinds of wonderful.

Why This Must Be Read: There's something ridiculously appealing about kissing fics, and this one hits all the right marks. In it,
jelenamichel takes a natural, unthinking moment between Tony and Ziva and uses it as the starting point for the evolution of their relationship. Well written, sweet and with just the right amount of sexy, this story will leave you with a smile on your face.
