a person who is eager to know the latest news and gossip; a gossip or busybody.

This is for the ncis-drabble community on LJ's challenge: #284 Right.

Work Text:

Quidnunc

“Shh. Bishop. Don’t ask. Vivian was the worst gossip there was. Gibbs hates quidnuncs.” Tony whispered warningly.

Before Bishop could ask any further questions about Vivian, Gibbs walked in and everyone shut up.

“Report.” Gibbs ordered.

Tony clicked the remote for the TV with his right hand and brought up the information on their current suspect. He’d have to tell Bishop the gossip on Vivian later. He remembered the fury with which Gibbs reprimanded Vivan for giving him gossip instead of facts during one of her reports. Neither of them had made that mistake again. Of course, it hadn’t helped that the gossip had been proven wrong by Tony’s bit of evidence that led them to the right killer.

Notes:

Prompts are currently open. If you'd like to prompt me, please do so here. Note you have to be an ao3 member to do this.

If you are not an ao3 member, you can prompt me here. Please follow the same rules as are listed in the above link. However, because this is a handmade prompt form(that thinks it's a poll), it is considerably more limited than what ao3 provides, so please use the ao3 form if you're an ao3 member. Please note the name option is for a name that I can say this is for so that you know it's for you. Since this is for non ao3 members it won't be true gifts, but you will be mentioned in the notes.

This is a new thing I'm trying, so please leave feedback here if you think it could be improved.
