"If Ziva knew there had been a threat, then she had to know that the threat had been neutralized. Didn't she? And if she knew that, why would she remain in hiding rather than come find her precious daughter? It didn't make any sense, none of it." This is my third take on the finale but the first to go beyond it. SPOILERS for 13x24 Family First. TIVA

Welcome to the fifth installment of my "Life" series. Continues immediately after the events of "Life As It Was Meant To Be"; Cote/Ziva, Michael/Tony may be gone from the show but TIVA lives on in in my stories! TIVA, McABBY, MIBBS.

Two missing scenes: one to right a terrible wrong that proves Cote's complaint that the writers have no respect for Ziva; and the other is an alternate ending because MW's final ep should be about him, not Gibbs smiling at his "new team". Spoiler Alert for Season 13 Finale "Family First".

After the events of "Dead Letter" Tony goes to Israel to find Ziva and finally makes a decision regarding his future. TIVA One shot.

The aftermath of the events in Iraq leaves the team reeling. A familiar face shows up as Tony struggles to come to terms with the changes forced upon him. THIS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A TIVA STORY! SPOILER WARNINGS for the finale and season 13 premiere. You have been warned.

Anthony DiNozzo, Jr. made a serious tactical error in his grand plan of "DiNozzo is Back, Baby!" By invoking the participation of another, he had set himself up for failure. Maybe that had been his plan all along; for he was, as sure as the day was long, tired of pretending. TIVA

Welcome to my second installment; Vignettes based on spoilers, photos, news reports, promos, whatever: then my interpretation. SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk. If you do not want to be spoiled, read one of my other stories. May or may not continue after the second episode...

Tag to 11x5 "Once a Crook"; Tony has a talk with Gibbs regarding Ziva. My take on how I would have liked the men's room scene to be played out. Includes dialog from the episode. Spoilers for 11X5. One-shot. Shouldn't post so late at night, Too many boo-boos.

One-shot on a conversation I would like to see between Agent Borin and Tony when she returns. Considering the events of the last episode Borin appeared in, I would hope for more mention of Ziva. This is what I would like to see happen. This story contains slight spoilers for 10 x 4 "Lost at Sea", 11x 2 "Past, Present and Future" and 11 x 6 "Oil and Water".

Welcome to the fourth story in my "Life" series. You should read "A Life Full of Surprises", "A Life Worth Waiting For" for this installment to make sense, and reading the first story "Life as I Saw It" would be a good idea as well. Takes place concurrent with Chapter 51, last chapter of ALFOS. I hope you enjoy this continuation as much as I have writing it. TIVA, McAbby, Mibbs

Scenarios that I think could happen between Tony and Ziva at the end of each episode in Season 10.

'So does this make me Watson' Unintentional second chapter now up- can follow on or can stand alone, based off the spoilers for Berlin with a little Sherlock thrown in as my inspiration. Knowledge/enjoyment of any Sherlock not necessary but could be a little bonus for fans. 'Can't tell me that's not a quote from a book' 'No, but Sherlock Holmes was orinially a book, so...'

An AU look at the series. What if Tony and Ziva were married starting in S4 and managed to keep it a secret? How different might things look from a new perspective? Please read Part 1 first, as this will make more sense than if you start here.

"With her father's death, it seems that Ziva's life is quickly spiraling out of control. His unexpected death leaves her striving revenge, which begins to cloud her judgement. When her return trip to Israel ends in disaster, it sparks a turn of events that no one could have foretold. Love is realized, new friends are made, and dark secrets emerge that change everything."

Post 10.12 "Shiva"; References Chapter Four of my story "Seeking Redemption". My take on what Tony meant when he told Ziva that "you are not alone". TIVA, Gibbs make a short appearance.

Missing scenes between shooting and ED, Ziva and Tony at his apartment, going into "Shiva". SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk

This story is based on the latest update regarding the episode "Shabbat Shalom, which lists the cast and gives the air date as January 8, 2013, and the next episode "Shiva" which airs January 15th. Also references "Gone." MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk. Very dark story content and Character death.

Tony spends an evening with Ziva and Shmeil Pinkhas that is entertaining and enlightening. SPOILER ALERT! 10x8 "Gone" Ooops. originally put Season 12- is that wishful thinking or what?

This is the sequel to my first story, "Life As I Saw It." You don't absolutely need to read it to understand this story, but it would help. Includes the finale. TIVA, some McAbby. PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks!

Tony and Ziva deal with the immediate aftermath of the events in "Till Death Do Us Part." Contains references to the episode, so do not read if you have not seen it. Rated for lanquage to be safe.
