Work Text:

Martinet

Abby hated Director Shepard. Contrary to popular belief it had nothing to do with Jenny's intentions towards Gibbs. In fact, it was only the martinet part of Director Shepard that Abby didn't like.

Abby hated being forced into a box. She'd always been a free bird and did better flying free than forced to ascribe to a set of rules. She had the awards to prove it even.

The awards that were never obtained through strict observance of rules and only through curiosity, invention, and brilliance. She didn't bother applying for awards with more rules than freedom. She never had.

Yet, people kept trying to force her into a box. She wished they would stop.

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.
