Story Notes:
Timeline and canon: In this story I’ve based Tony’s age being 36 in 2008 on the fact that it’s explicitly stated by both him and Kate that he’s 32 in the episode “Split Decision” which aired in 2004, and he mentions playing college basketball in 1992 in “Swak” which ties in with this dating. Other canon facts are not entirely consistent on this subject (surprise!) but that’s what I’ve used for this story.
I found Gibbs’s timeline and canon inconsistent and confusing so I’ve put my own spin on it here " trying to stay as accurate a possible while steering a middle path. If this bothers you, then you might want to consider it an AU.
Thanks to Bluespirit for being so supportive, encouraging and all-round fabulous; also, and very importantly, for beta-reading and for the stunningly beautiful graphic. Thanks also to Rachelle, for helping out with the US beta and the many cool details. Any mistakes are, of course, mine.
