I have mixed feelings about Mann, but that has more to do with how the writers on the show write women. I loved the idea of him having someone, but I felt like she was written a bit too much as his clone.

I agree with how Tony is changing on the show and I'm actually hoping that the writers progress with it and don't just let it drop. I'm a sucker for damaged characters. Especially when we get growth out of the damage.

We know that Gibbs used to be more like Tony, so it's an interesting progression seeing what turns Tony more into Gibbs. I don't want him to turn completely into Gibbs, but I would hate to see all of the the growth go to waste as well.

There's quite a bit of fic in the fandom that flat out disturbs me.
