*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*

The place was a dump, she knew it, the realtor knew it and even the damn birds knew it but still Danni considered it. She walked through the patio, oh, excuse me, lanai since she was in freak country where they didn’t even speak normal, American english. It was open and had a nice, scenic view of the dumpsters across the street. 

That was enough to cross it off her list even if she did it reluctantly. It was the fifth one just that day and the options were dwindling and her wallet tightening. She listened with half an ear as the realtor sang adulations like it was a mansion in the Hampton’s instead of a rathole in a semi decent spot in O’ahu.

Author’s Notes: When I was rewatching the first season of NCIS I had a thought about how Tony and Gibbs dynamic seemed to change when Gibbs brought in Kate and how that affected Tony. Then I went, what if Tony was always a girl Toni and then I thought, what if Toni and Gibbs were unverified Sentinel/Guide pairing and voila, here we go. This story is a fusion with the Sentinel and uses the concept of sentinels/guides. It's het Tibbs with always female Toni DiNozzo. Takes places after Yankee White and goes somewhat Canon AU from there.

Feedback: Yes, please. Give it to me all: the good, the bad and the ugly!! :p
