Of Generous Spirit

By Sarah B. Leonard

 

Standing there, looking at the upside down name, Gibbs knew he had drunk too much.  But it was finished now:  the Kelly.

His vision blurred.  From bourbon?

“She is beautiful, Jethro, your homage to our daughter.”

Shannon was there, in front of him, yet he could see the black letters through her.

“Your tribute is complete.  Now you must move on.”

“Move on?” he mumbled.  “More bourbon?”

“Love him, Jethro, as you know you need to love him.”

“Him?”

“Tony.  He is waiting.  Complete him.”

She smiled then faded away.

She had always had – and been - a generous spirit.

I've always loved the idea of Shannon bringing them together, and this was a great way of showing it. She was spirited enough to deal with him before, making sure he did was was necessary, so of course now, when it really counts, she'll make sure he gets what he needs. And I love that she likes Tony enough to want to help him too! I've always thought that if she'd lived, she and Tony would be great friends.

And then they could share Gibbs. >>

Yay I got my 'spoon kitteh' comment... woo hoo.

Glad you liked my drabble. It is now becoming a prologue to a (very) short story which is all Ferneberga's fault. Hopefully that should be up soon (if the ghost doesn't scare the plot bunnehs away.)
