Oh man, this is SO AWESOME :DDDD I know nothing about NCIS, but I just loved all of this--the hurt/comfort and Ryan's perspective on everything and the way everyone has to deal with the wounds that haven't yet healed. I really loved this Ryan--he needs to be taken care of but he's also very self-aware, and it's a really nice balance between the two characterizations. And Brendon and Spencer were awesome, and the dialog was sharp and perfect, and yes. I really enjoyed reading :D
