**PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION**
This is my first Tiva vid, though I have been shipping them for a while, and hard-core shipping them for the past few weeks. I know there are a lot of AU character-death vids out there, but I wanted to do one as well, particularly since this storyline has been niggling at me for the past few days, and I saw that no one has used the Evanescence song "Even in Death," though it's one of my faves. Here is the storyline of the vid:
Black and White clips: Ziva's memories/her wishes to see Tony there again
Sepia: Ziva's memories that are directly linked to his eventual death
Normal: Present day
After a little over a year of Tony and Ziva being married, Vance sends Tony on a deep-cover mission to take down someone they've been trying to nab for years. Ziva doesn't really want him to go, and they argue about it for a while, neither of them being willing to be the one to back down. Finally Ziva tells him to go for it, if that's what he really wants to do.
Tony's not undercover long before he's discovered. He manages to get a message back to NCIS before he's captured, and while he's being tortured Ziva and the rest of the NCIS team searches desperately for him. They find him, briefly, before their suspect disappears again, taking Tony with him. When he's next spotted, a few days later, everything happens so fast - especially when their convict tries to run, at the same time blowing up the car he'd left Tony, bound and unconscious, in.
They have their suspect now, and Ziva begs Gibbs to let her be the one to question him. She goes in, but every time she looks into the self-superior face of her husband's killer she just keeps seeing the car explode over and over, taking Tony with it. She vows to him that she'll track down every last person in his organization, and they won't be as lucky as he.
Ziva reverts back into assassin mode, doing exactly as she promised and taking out everyone inolved - either directly or by proxy - in Tony's murder. She's captured once, and just when she thinks she's going to die, the NCIS team rescues her. She barely takes enough time to recover before she's back out in the field again, on her own, having her revenge and dealing her justice.
All she can think about is how badly she and Tony argued over the mission, and how the last words they'd ever said to each other were not "I love you," but words said in anger and eventually tired resignation. She keeps expecting to be able to turn around just fast enough to still be able to catch a glimpse of him at his desk, standing behind her, just being there. Also, she keeps seeing images of how he'd looked when she'd seen the brief glimpse of him after he'd been tortured - the last time she saw him alive - and it becomes too much for her. Trapped by her grief and anger, she's cornered by the final free and alive member of her husband's murderer's organization, and prepares herself to finally see Tony again...
If anyone would like to tackle this vid and make it into a fic, it wold make me super-happy. I'd love to see this in fic form - I've tried to do it myself, but for some reason I can't get it to come out on paper (screen?) the same way as it does in the vid - I just don't have a good enough handle on Tony and Ziva's characters. So if you want to make this vid into a fic, please let me know and send me a link so I can post it in this description, with full credit to the writer. Thanks for watching, and i hope you enjoyed my vid!
