Disc: I do not own the characters of NCIS.
Coupling: Leroy Jethro Gibbs & Anthony DiNozzo
OOC: This is a fantasy and supernatural. Yes I know in the show that Tony and Gibbs are not gay but this is my little world so if you don't like them as a couple or you don't like Tony being a shifter then stop right here and don't read.
Story: Tony has been keeping a secret from his team. He was also keeping a bigger secret from Gibbs but he really wasn't going to tell them that. He had stayed almost ten years with the team now - that was longer then he had anywhere else. But Tony's secret is about to come out and will things be okay? Will they ever be the same?
Shifter History.
When there were cave men on the earth, there were also shifters out there. They formed packs and protected their own. They kept their secrets then as much as they do today. They evolved much as the humans did, they were in our society and they grew with modern times. They all knew there was a god out there that they could pray to and that he put them on this earth. Some knew there was a reason some just thought they were beasts.
Most shifters stayed in their pack, but some that couldn't accept what they were went off on there own. Most shifters knew they were there to do good for the world: to protect the innocent and make sure that the unlawful paid. Maybe that's why so many came to work in the justice system. But as time has passed, many were killed off - no one knew why and so the remainders became part of one of the dwindling number of packs or loners. Yes, there still packs out there, but shifters didn't always just make packs with other shifters. We didn't always tell the pack we hung out or worked with exactly what we were.
Shifters Facts.
1. The whole silver bullet thing is wrong. Silver doesn't affect a werewolf - they die just like any normal human.
2. Yes, a shifters can shift into any wild cat - there are a few different breeds out there. There dying out but there still some out there. There are also werewolves out there.
3. The full moon brings a need to hunt but they don't shift just on the full moon. A shifter can shift whenever they want. The full moon just brings a deeper need to shift and hunt.
4. Shifters have a strong sense of smell. There also have good eye sight and can see in the dark.
5. You are not bitten and then become a shifter - you are born one. At least one parent has to be a shifter for them to give birth to a shifter, although sometimes they give birth to "normal" humans.
6. There are only two kinds of shifters - wolves and felines.
7. There are packs out there but not all shifters choose to be in a pack, some choose the road of a lone wolf. Sometimes a shifter will find a pack with a group of humans.
8. Shifters do mate for life. There is one person born for each one, that is their mate. They don't get to chose, Gaia (their god) has chosen their mates for them.
9. There are elders out there that almost all shifters know about. The shifters are watched, most are know when born. There is a registry of sorts.
10. All male shifters can become pregnant. This is because Gaia set up mates with the same sex though not as much as she did with male and female mates. But to the human world it was just an oddity of science. It is rare and seen as a freak of science to most of the world.
