I'm Probably Crazy

annundrielI don't know where this came from.
Somehow, I really want a fic in which McGee never joined NCIS and instead becomes a full-time writer. He publishes his first book and it's moderately successful. And then he gets writer's block. Massive writer's block. So he decides to become a private investigator on the side. Or maybe something happens to a friend/an acquaintance of his and they say, "Hey, you like mysteries. You're pretty good with them. Can't you help me out?"
McGee would refuse, saying that it's completely different because those mysteries he makes up himself, so of course he can solve them. But they plead and he's nice guy. Please, he's really intrigued. So he says yes.
And then somehow he meets Tony. Maybe Tony is (still) a cop. Maybe Tony's with NCIS and everything is the exact same except that McGee isn't an agent. I don't know. All I know is that somehow this idea got in my head and now I kind of seriously want it.
I don't usually want NCIS AUs. In fact, the only other that I've ever craved was Tony and Tim in boarding school. (Um, I may have written tiny bits of that already, actually.) But...I could just suddenly see Tim doing the Thom E. Gemcity thing but without the NCIS background, living in his apartment with his dog, dealing with his agent, going out with friends. And running into Tony, who is just as fascinated and amused by him as he ever is on the show.
Oooh, and now I've got Nero Wolfe on the brain.
Clip! I looove the music on this show so much. And the cast. The cast is perfect. Oh my God, Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin. ♥
