13	* Very much recommended if you're a fan of Timothy [=McGee=]. Even though more often than not Emerald winds up putting [=McGee=] through utter hell, she can keep him - as well as the rest of the team - in-character and make him shine no matter what situation the plot puts him in. Ever wanted to see Tim as a superhero a la The ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'', or getting the team involved in the Renaissance Fair? Emerald1's your author.

77	* ''Status'': Complete
78	* ''Synopsis'': What seems like a normal homicide investigation quickly becomes more when Gibbs is put into the hospital by a sniper at the same time Director Vance is kidnapped. With a domestic terror plot unfolding, and an apparent traitor in their midst, DiNizzo finds himself the most senior agent left and must put away his joker persona if the team is to have any hope of stopping the plot before it's too late. While Tony-centric the ensemble is essential to the plot; everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, gets a chance to shine in a rolling techno-thriller plot that grabs hold from the outset and doesn't let go, fueled by a truly formidable villain. The only downside is the sizable sequel baiting at the end which, as of yet, has not been followed up on.
79	* ''Pairing'': Tony/Ziva, but it's not really the focus of the story.

175	* ''Synposis'': Some things will make you re-evaluate your life. Getting blown up, thinking you're fine, and then looking down and seeing a hunk of glass sticking out of your body is one of those things. Tim decides it's time to put his life on track and go after the things he wants, namely Abby and a family. Novel length [=McAbby=] romance. Some chapters decidedly NSFW.
176	** ''Updated 8/15/2014 by Kirayoshi:'' As of Chapter 287, the author [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1201909/Keryl-Raist Keryl Raist]] has chosen to branch out her story into two separate paths; the original story "Shard To a Whole", and a parallel story called simply [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10113704/1/Shards "Shards".]] "Shards" is an alternate universe version of "STAW", written largely because Keryl is introducing plotlines into her main story that some fans may find objectionable. Generally "Shards" is a more vanilla story (or, to borrow a metaphor from a chapter in "STAW", [[ItMakesSenseInContext vanilla extract as opposed to the whole vanilla bean)]].

181	* ''Status'': Complete
182	* ''Pairings'': Tony/Ziva, Tony/Kate, Gibbs/Jenny
183	* ''Synopsis'': Tony takes a bullet for [=McGee=], and his life flashes before his eyes. He also runs into more than one old friend - and an enemy or two. What will he think when he sees what could have been, and what will he do when he is faced with an impossible decision? AU towards the end of Season Ten. Inspired by "Life Before His Eyes".
184	* ''Comments'': This is probably the most in-character ''NCIS'' fanfiction I've ever read, and definitely the best I've seen involving Kate. Shipping-wise, there's a pretty even mix of Tony/Ziva and Tony/Kate, so you can read it regardless of which one you ship (and if you ship both, it's perfect). The banter between Tony and Kate is spot-on, which is impressive considering how much Tony's matured since the last time we saw him banter with Kate. Definitely read this with a box of tissues nearby. I had to stop a couple of times because I couldn't read through my tears.

219	* ''Comment'': This one of the most well written JAG fanfics out there: a truly great combination of an engaging storyline, attention to details, and with spot-on characterizations of all the JAG/NCIS characters in it. Although the JAG characters take center stage, the NCIS characters (first appearing in chapter 34) are given equally meticulous treatment. The ending is somewhat anti-climactic as it fails to resolve the multiple storylines in this epic tale and connecting the two verses.
