Random, swirly icons

[lit_gal]

I'm playing with backgrounds and fading, so I did some icons. I like some more than others, but you have a variety to choose from. As always, steal away. Please give me credit if you use them as icons. Oh, and feel free to use these as bases and add your own text.
We have Stargate (2), NCIS (5), BtVS/Angel (10), Sentinel (5) , Firefly (3)

Those are very pretty. I particularly like the NCIS ones. (Am on a NCIS fic reading jag at the moment).

The NCIS ones turned out better than the others, I think. I keep getting flashes of Tony/Ziva myself, so that may be the next fandom I play in.

Or Tony/Gibbs? *looks hopeful*

I have trouble with that one. I would have to write a huge epic with Tony overcoming his homosexual issues and Gibbs overcoming is commitment issues. I think Tony needs a Dom, but I'm not sure he's willing to admit that he would be okay with a male Dom

So I guess that's why there was no more of your Tony/OFC? It was hinting at going that way, as I remember?
Yet you don't have the same problem for Xander that you have for Tony? Is that simply because Xander is a teenager and therefore still finding his way, or is it something more?

I think Xander is younger, and the hints are there... he admires the physical attractiveness of both Spike and Angel, and in specific enough terms to make his friends look at him oddly. He jokes about "gay me up." He is flustered--not angry--when Larry thinks he's gay. I do thing there is footwork there for a gay Xander.

But with Tony, he's very concerned about appearances, and even the appearance of gayness (when he kissed a pre-op transsexual) sent him into a tizzy. He actively rejects homosexuality, so in my book he is either 1) not gay or 2) in some serious denial.

1 would mean that I had trouble writing him gay. 2 would mean that I would have to tackle that denial, and I don't want to write a huge epic straight out of the gate.

However, Ziva has several times stepped up and made it clear that Tony would submit to a woman. He jokes about handcuffs, she says she would not wear them but suggests Tony would, she crowds into his physical space. Tony is not denying it. Ziva tells him to be a man, and he goes to talk to Jeanne. Ziva, when she decides to be serious, does control him.

And then we have Gibbs. I think Gibbs is very gun shy with relationships. In a normal relationship, this is a warning sign. In a Dom/sub relationship, this is a deal breaker. If I were to write an epic and have Tony face his denial, he would need a steady rock to hold him in place while he flew apart. I think Gibbs is a steady rock... in all things except relationships.

So, I like to read Gibbs/Tony, but in my mind it's such a long shot that I've never read anything realistically Gibbs/Tony.
