''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3175751/1/ Ten Nonlinear Moves]'' by Sequitur
* Recommended by Polaris, [[Tropers/Across The Stars|Across The Stars]], [[Tropers/Zadia|Zadia]]
* ''Synopsis'': Ten different snapshots into Tony's time leading the team between seasons 3 and 4.
* ''Comments'': We don't get a lot about this on the show itself, and this is a great little view of the team as family, with nice character moments very in keeping with the show's quirky humor, including Tony's various methods of persuading everyone to go see ''[[Snakes on a Plane]]'' with him.
** Seconded by [[Rain Krystal]]; Behold, a wonderfully well written Tony, with well done, clear-cut prose that underscores some truly emotional moments between the team sans Gibbs. And missing the boss doesn't make them less of a family. It just makes them a slightly different one.
** Also recommended by [[Nat Fre]]. Sequitur writes Tony really well, and if you like this story you should check out some of the other stories by Sequitur, including "Sine Qua Non" and "In Transit."
 
''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-19517/tigerlily+Lost+and+Found.htm Lost and Found]'' by tigerlily
* Recommended by [[User:J Random User]]
* ''Pairings'': Tony/Ziva, McGee/Abby (briefly), Buffy/McGee
* ''Synopsis'': Crossover with ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Set after the finale of Buffy and immediately after the Season 6 finale of ''NCIS''. Buffy raids a demon-infested camp in Somalia to retrieve a kidnapped Slayer--andSlayer—and finds someone else as well.
* ''Comments'': The story demonstrates a strong emotional core from the early chapters, especially the NCIS team's raw despair when they believe Ziva is dead. There is a good deal of angst early on, but once the team is reunited with Ziva and learn of the supernatural, the pace picks up and becomes a good deal more lighthearted.
** [[Tropers/Night|Night]]: It's Buffy. It's ''not'' NCIS. The NCIS team doesn't get much screentime or action except for Ziva, and one can make a pretty good argument that Ziva's character is not being rendered faithfully. The strong core mentioned above does exist, but after that the story fumbles around.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5252052/1/Each_Others_Back Each Other's Back]'' by OughtaKnowBetter
* Recommended by notreallyatroper, [[Tropers/Night|Night]]
* ''Synopsis'': Crossover with ''[[Numb3rs]]''. There's a missing code, a missing mathematician, and a missing agent. Can NCIS and the FBI find them before it's too late?
* ''Comments'': Extremely well written. It was so exciting, I couldn't stop reading it once I started. And the events that bring the two shows to cross over are really unique and interesting, it's not just the old "this body falls in both of our jurisdictions. Looks like we'll be working together." that I see so often. The writer has the characters spot-on, too. Totally recommended!
** [[Tropers/Night|Night]]: Maybe it's not a real episode written up for NCIS, but you won't be able to tell the difference while you're reading it. Excellent work on the [[Original Flavor]], and a good story. You could film this and it would work as a double-parter or season finale.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5221158/1/Vindicated Vindicated]'', by Kaoru424
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Zadia|Zadia]]
* ''Synopsis'': Abby turns up at Gibbs' place in the middle of the night, covered in blood. When Gibbs finds a car crash nearby and a dead sailor, Abby becomes implicated in his murder, and it's up to the team to find out what really happened.
* ''Comments'': Brilliant fic. Believable, hilarious and has a very good plot. Highly recommended.
 
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120410034841/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5693977/1/AWOL AWOL]'' by Lisse
* Recommended by [[RBM Ifan]]
* ''Synopsis'': When a Marine goes missing, his twin brother comes to NCIS looking for help. Then things get weird.
* ''Comments'': Crossover with [[Axis Powers Hetalia]], in which the Nations' human personas are explored through the POV of the NCIS cast. Interesting plot, though familiarity with Hetalia is highly recommended.
** Seconded by [[Archangel Unmei]]. This fic does an amazing job of not only showing what the Hetalia-verse Nations might look like through the POV of someone not in the know, but it also manages to keep the entire NCIS cast in character. Abby in particular is hilariously brilliant in this, and Gibbs is spot-on.
** Thirded by [[Rain Krystal]]. This is so incredibly well done. A great view from the outsiders looking in, and they manage to make Canada's disappearing powers awesome.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6106126/1/Nine_Lives Nine Lives]'' by thebondgirl
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Haustere|Haustere]]
* ''Synopsis'': "Well...looks like...I've...finally...run out...Boss," he gasped quietly in the direction of the small opening. "And what is it you've run out of DiNozzo?" The gruff voice sounded just that bit scared, and rightly so. Tony smiled grimly. "Al...mosts."
* ''Comments'': Very well-written. The characterisation and prose just blows you away the minute you start reading and you really just can't stop until you reach the end. It focuses on Tony, but the team gets a fair amount of screen-time and character development as well. Comments have been kept vague so as to avoid spoiling ''[[Serious Business|anything]]''. Go read it. ''Now.''
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7521557/1/Sine_Qua_Non Sine Qua Non]'', by Sequitur
* Recommended by [[User:Zadia]]
* ''Synopsis'': Season Three-Four gap. The Director has her reservations about the team leader position, McGee and Ziva have a cunning and psychotic plan, and Tony has a mental breakdown. Sort of, anyway.
* ''Comments'': This is seriously one of the best humour fics I've ever read. It's truly brilliant, and you need to go read it.
Line 84:
''Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.''
 
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160826141857/http://ygrawn.livejournal.com/17696.html Damage]'' by ygrawn.
* Recommended by [[User:Joie De Combat]]
* ''Synopsis'': Tony expected Ziva to understand his undercover mission better than anyone else. An alternate take on the emotional fallout of "Bury Your Dead" and the revelation of Tony's deceptions throughout season four, particularly regarding his relationship with Ziva.
* ''Comments'': Although subsequently [[Jossed]] by the events of season 5 and onward, the characterization in this fic still rings true, particularly with regards to how Tony thinks of Ziva and of himself, and in the more humorous segments (the bits about McGee's book are gold).
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1841334/4/Where_Angels_Fear_to_Tread Where Angels Fear to Tread]'' by Lilah Blue.
* Recommended by [[Across The Stars]]
* ''Pairing'': Gibbs/DiNozzo
* ''Synopsis'': When Tony is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, what does his future hold, and how will it affect his relationship with Gibbs?
* ''Comments'':
 
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110930150816/http://www.xanthe.org/NCIS/Damage/damage%20title.htm Damage]'' by Xanthe (Warnings: Child abuse, pedophilia, slash)
* Recommended by [[Across The Stars]], kph2pt0
* Pairing(s): Gibbs/DiNozzo
* Synopsis: When a simple case of theft explodes into an investigation of a long-running pedophile ring, Tony DiNozzo's darkest secret comes into the open, and only Gibbs has the strength - and the love - to save him from himself.
* Comments: In addition to the slash, Tony's given a backstory that actually makes sense - and while I highly doubt that it's actually canon, it is, perhaps, the best hurt/comfort fic I've ever read... and I've read a lot of them. It clocks in at four hundred pages on Word (it took me seventeen minutes to copy the whole thing so I could save it offline for the journey home) but it is well, well worth the read. Easily the best Gibbs/DiNozzo fic I've read, and while it's definitely slashy, there isn't too much pr0n. A must-read for any Tony-lovers and Tibbs slashers.
** Seconded by [[Studious Jones]]. This is my favorite NCIS fic yet. Everything is well done and believable. Unlike a lot of stories that use {{spoiler|[[Rape as Backstory]]}}, it is useful to the plot and doesn't seem like it was just thrown in. Really a must read.

* Recommended by [[Across The Stars]]
* ''Pairing'': Gibbs/DiNozzo
* ''Synopsis'': In a world where everyone has just developed some sort of psychic power, Empaths - like Tony DiNozzo - shut themselves away from the world to avoid an emotional overload. The only way to break the catatonia? Create a feedback loop with a single other person. Gibbs doesn't hesitate, but what will the ramifications be?
