Note: Yes, I am writing all seven books (randomly writing scenes for each book because I don't write in chronological order, I write the scenes that come to me that day whether they are for book one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven doesn't matter). Also,I need new titles that don't sound romance filled because this fanfiction series is NOT strictly romance. Any suggestions??

Summary

This fanfiction series is first and foremost Crime-Drama Fiction. The cases will always be the most important part, but there will also be romance (every show has it and can't live without it, so why try to remove it from written works too?).

This story will answer the following "What Ifs" (yes, some of the what ifs are similar):

What if it didn't happen the way it was shown?

What if there was a completely different story of which they didn't get the chance to show us what really happened all because an actress wanted to leave the show?

What if they were hiding the truth behind a uncarefully crafted story that contained twists and turns and events that never happened?

What if the events that occurred did not result in the death of two characters to bring in another?

What if Kate didn't die?

What if Ari didn't die?

What if the real story was not the story that was told in the television show?

Begins with the first season's episode 16 - "Bête Noire."

Disclaimer

I do not own NCIS or any of its characters and plots because that fantastic privilege would go to one absolutely fabulous Donald P. Belisario. Some chapters will be episodes from the television series with extended scenes, including extra locations, conversations, extra relationship moments added to some of them, etc.

Also, I have used some personal experiences, prompts, quotes, insults, non-spoken lines, thoughts, sentences, sub-plot ideas, Urban Legends, poetry, and much more that were offered on various websites and in some books – such as NaNoWriMo (dot) Org, Seventh Sanctum, About (dot) Com, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series, a multitude of poetry books, and many, many, many, many, -many- more with proper credit given for the poems and songs used in each chapter — the other stuff, used much more often in a chapter would be harder to properly credit unfortunately, so that is why it is mentioned like this in every disclaimer.

Good enough of a disclaimer for you?

NOTE:

Please disregard the fact that the novel cover makes it appear as if it will be a completely romance story, it's not. That's just the image I've been using for everything for this story so far (i.e. novel cover, banner, image on my NaNoWriMo blog, etc.).
