Here ya go, @tangocharliekilo! I have toyed with a BTS for the S13 episode “Stop the Bleeding” to imagine what happened between the time Taft saved Gibbs’ life and Gibbs’ return to NCIS.  Here is the beginning of a fic that has not gone any further yet.  
BTS for Stop the Bleeding
As awareness etched a pattern onto the blank slate of unconsciousness, his first sensation was one of floating, followed by a thick fog roiling behind his eyes and a low hum buzzing between his ears.  Too many similar experiences prompted an immediate assumption that he was in deep shit.
Apparently, he managed to verbalize at least some of that thought, because a sympathetic, and mildly amused voice cut through the buzz.
“Probably feels that way, Agent Gibbs, but I assure you, you are only in shallow shit, at best.”
Mike Franks was right.  Chuckles the Clown.
He opened his eyes.  He thought he opened his eyes.  He tried again. And again.  Finally, after what felt like enough effort to lift a car, he dragged up his heavy eyelids until slivers of light peeked through.
“Welcome back,” the voice said.  Some vague memory of that same voice babbling about bourbon and bleeders and Motown and…the Partridge Family?...washed across Gibbs’ thoughts.  He brushed it off as a hallucination.
“Whrm I?” he mumbled, still cocooned in the fog and hum.
“Hospital ship.  The Daniel Webster.”
“ – long?”
“This is day five. Your agent uh – DiGiorno?”
“DiNozzo,” corrected another voice, soft and feminine.
“Ah. Thank you, Ensign Ryan. Agent DiNozzo told us you weren’t much on talking, but you’ve been pretty chatty the past few days.  Of course, most of it was fevered delirium, which probably doesn’t count…”
Geez, this guy could talk.  “Di…Nozzo?” he ground out as he pried his eyelids open more, revealing two shadowy figures, one on his right and the other on his left.
“Your boss sent him off, I assume to go get the bad guys that put you here.  He left about a hundred messages on my phone between the time he bugged out and the time I finished fishing pieces of metal out of your chest.”
Pieces. Metal, Chest.  Images flashed through his mind: Iraq. Dust. Sand. Heat. Joanna Teague. DiNozzo. Luke Harris. Pain. Shock. Oblivion.
As the fog began to clear, he shifted his hands to the bed rails, planning to pull himself up, to fight for cognizance, to do what he did best - act.  Immediately, deep agony screamed through his chest, down his ribs, and somehow shot out of his left knee, seizing his body in a helpless rigor-like convulsion, tearing a raw groan from his throat.
Yeah, he was right the first time. Deep shit.

For this Six Sentence Sunday I offer a selection from a document called “(Untitled) soft tired domesticity Draft 2 - Copy Edited copy - REDUX” for the Gun prompt on the Summer Bingo Card
What you got cooking @unreliablenarratorink @the-last-rat-standing @justagibbsgirl @roxannerolls1?
–––
Her finger circled his temple, tenderly, over traces of scars, where the delicate skin had been broken open too many times. Hard-headed and broad shouldered, he could seem like a giant forged from granite, yet he was only a man of flesh and—whether he chose to admit it or not—feelings.
What was eating at Gibbs was a question on a multiple choice quiz:
A. the case had ended with three young Marines lying in the morgue B. Gibbs had been the one to put the fatal bullet in the last C. that he’d had to do (B) to keep his own agents from deathly harm D. None of the above. 
When in doubt, choose C.
“You know Ellie’s okay, right?”
The involuntary mewl her nails evoked as they scritched against his scalp softened his grumbled acknowledgment.
“It was only a graze, not even 5 stitches to close. She could be back to work tomorrow.” That was pushing it. Bullet damage or not, the whole team needed a solid 48 hours off from work to recharge, Gibbs included. But if it was what he needed to hear… “It’ll take more stitches to repair her field jacket.”

So, I FINALLY sat down to write the epilogue to this story and discovered that Gibbs and Jack still had more to say.  That means I have two more chapters and a brief epilogue to add to this. I hope nobody minds.  Thanks to everyone who is reading and especially to those who are always kind about taking time to comment.

I am sorry about the delayed posting of this chapter. I was trying to decide whether I should go into a complicated situation or go for something more simple. As is usually the case, simple was better. So, this is the penultimate chapter with an epilogue to follow in the next few days. Thanks to everyone who has read and especially those who have left kudos and much-appreciated comments. Stay around for the epilogue!

A new story in process.  Since Mark Harmon left, I have not been as inspired, but this one focuses on Gibbs (of course), as well as Jack.  Still (and always) a Slibbs fan!  Hope you enjoy.

🥺🥺🥺 Mark is leaving the show, say it ain’t so
Unfortunately, he has stepped back as Gibbs. He is still an executive producer and they have hinted that he might show up occasionally but n future episodes.

Here it is, the final chapter! I hope you enjoy it.  Many thanks to everyone who has read and commented.  Here’s hoping the S19 premiere tonight will be a great one and do right by Gibbs.

My muse unexpectedly prodded me this past week.  Here is a link to it on AO3.  It’s set after the Season 18 finale and before the Season 19 premier.  I hope those who read it will enjoy it!
