Bookmarker's Notes
Tony resigns from NCIS after one too many slights. Looking for clarity and direction, he heads to Oahu. The island holds a lot of memories for him, particularly of his ex, Steve McGarrett. Though he’s not planning to actually see the other man during his trip, circumstances bring them together regardless. Facing an unexpected reunion, a slew of unresolved feelings, and an offer that could change everything, the boys have to decide if the risking the same pain the felt all those years ago when their relationship fell apart was worth the chance of finding happiness together.

Summary
Abby and Cate’s faked gay cowboy photo of Tony was supposed to be a joke – a tit for tat reaction for DiNozzo discovering a wet T-shirt photo of a younger Caitlin Todd. But when the faked photo is accidentally transmitted to the whole of the DC office the consequences are catastrophic.

If someone had sent a written article stating that DiNuzto was gay, even as a joke, then most people seemed to understand that it was libel and against the law, yet the manipulation of multimedia images seemed to be viewed as harmless fun. -

Summary
Red Hood narrowed his eyes. Again, Nightwing couldn’t see his expression, but that was kinda the point of the helmet. “What do you mean, history repeating?”
“Robin, 15, running away after a rough case. Only clue he left? A note about family.”
Jason stopped himself from flinching, but it was a close thing. Goddamnit, yeah, that hit a nerve. Fuck Dick for that - this wasn’t close to the same thing, ok? No way had he driven Tim off to meet the same fate Jason had.
Right?
---
When Tim disappears after fighting Red Hood in Titans Tower, Dick naturally blames Jason. Jason doesn't want to believe it, but the evidence is pretty convincing. Dick wants his youngest brother safe. Jason doesn't want a kid's death on his hands. Together, maybe they can save a wayward bird and bring the family back together.
Meanwhile, Tim is feeling pretty great about his progress in tracking down Cass. It sucks he had to ditch the others to deal with the Red Hood situation alone, but Batgirl needed her Robin. Jason was annoying, sure, but he could chill out for a minute while Tim went to kick Deathstroke's ass for messing with his sister.
The note he left explained all that, right? Right?

Sometimes it isn't the big things that are too much, sometimes it's the little ones. When Tony reaches the end of his rope it is a perfectly average Tuesday. There is no battle, fight, argument, there is just the last piece of straw that broke the camels back. This is the story of Tony Stark, reaching the end of his rope, and choosing to walk away.
