Hello, NCIS fans.
This is RedDragonForce 1 with a challenge for you guys.
NCIS: Next Generation.
Pre-qualifiers:
Ziva David has taken over her father's position at Mossad Office and stays in contact with Team through NCIS and MTAC operations.
Tony DiNozzo has followed in Mike Franks's footsteps and retired. Don't care where, but it's far, I'll ask that.
Gibbs is either dead or officially retired due to old age, don't care which, but being alive and still as good as he was before he retired is a big plus.
Timothy McGee is either in Gibbs's place, or new Director effective a few years before fic began, took over after Vance retired to enjoy time with his family. Either works, but being Team Leader has him in a more kick-butt position.
Mike Franks is dead, and Leon Vance makes peace with Gibbs along with the file Mike left him in the will.
Abby is in same position as always, training assistant of her (your) choice. Meaning OC wouldn't be discouraged.
Ducky is retired or dead from old age, his mother is definitely dead from old age.
Jimmy Palmer has taken over as Head M.E. for NCIS and has forged similar relationship with McGee as Ducky did with Gibbs.
New Team:
Sandy Watson: From 'See No Evil' is next generation Kate, as far as I could tell. She IS blind, which means she never drives, uses special equipment in the Squad Room, but gets around just as well if not better than other agents due to her enhanced senses. Minor slipups outside base.
Zach Tanner: From 'Honor Code' is next generation Gibbs, considering he has that famous 'gut instinct' that everyone is blessed that Jethro has his. If McGee is not Team Leader, then Zach is, given his predisposition. He trusts McGee more than others due their past mission together with Gibbs.
Carson Matthews/Taylor: From 'Lost and Found' is next generation Tony DiNozzo, having taken over his reign on that one questionnaire about movies and such. Being such a 'Tony Jr.', so to speak, he becomes Senior Field Agent to Zach Tanner, should Zach be Team Leader.
Other Characters:
OC: Assistant for Palmer, unless you know an episode that had a kid that showed interest in the Autopsy.
OC: Daughter of Ziva, grown up, is new Mossad Liaison Officer. Should McGee be Director, he and Ziva would need continual contact as their position dictates from previous experience with past Leaders of their respective groups.
Optional OC: Son of Ziva, twin to daughter, sent with his sister as other Liaison Officer, more direct with McGee, again given past experience between Jenny Shepard and Ziva David.
Child/ren don't have to be DiNozzo's, but it would be a funny twist, given the 'Tiva' fan base.
Abby/McGee fluff should stay light, as they never officially get together (hint, hint).
Gibbs/Abby have a father/daughter relationship, given that he treats her much like he would Kelly.
Haven't found any others that would be relevant to plot. Possibly Sarah McGee, but not really important.
Well, start planning and posting up some interesting fics. Be sure to review this one when you post up your fic with title name, so I can check it out and see which one I like best.
So, happy writing, and until then…
Later,
