I've been on a NCIS fic kick myself lately. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure.
Not just the first time fics-- there have got to be LITERALLY 1,000+ Gibbs/Tony fics out there, and I SWEAR like 90%+ of them have either pod!Gibbs or pod!Tony. (or both)
Tony is a smart, independent man (who does have his moments) and not a immature teenager, delicate flower, nor completely submissive.
Gibbs also isn't going to baby Tony. He's not going to become sensitive, or self aware. He's going to be cranky, and grumbly and fierce and independant and need his own head smacked.
How hard is this for people to realize???
There also seems to be quite the fandom kink for d/s and/or BDSM. o_O
(yes, lack of decent characterization bothers me.)
