Propound - Keep Calm and Get Married

Summary:

Tony's about to get married and is freaking out. Fortunately, Abby is there to calm him down.

Notes:

Another dictionary.com word of the day drabble. This time from 02/02/2003 for the word propound.

propound[ pruh-pound ]
verb (used with object)
to put forward or offer for consideration, acceptance, or adoption; set forth; propose:
to propound a theory.

This is for the ncis-drabble community on LJ's challenge: #652 Keep calm and ...

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Just Remember, Tony, 'Keep calm and get married'.” Abby excitedly propounded.

“How am I supposed to stay calm?” Tony hissed, “I’m marrying Gibbs.”

“I know. Isn’t it great?” She clapped her hands.

“I’m going to be the fifth Mrs. Gibbs. How is this great?” Tony protested.

“If you didn’t want to marry Gibbs, why did you accept when he proposed?”

“He caught me off guard. What else was I supposed to say? ‘No, I don’t want to marry you, just date you for the rest of my life?’”

Abby snickered, “Oh, Tony. You know you love him.”

“God help me, I do.”

“Then go get married. You’ll be fine.”

“Keep calm and get married, eh?”

“That’s the spirit, Tony,” Abby cheered as Tony finally started walking down the aisle.

Notes:

The dictionary.com series has 1 story already written for it after this one, so I will be posting at least 1 story before I stop posting again. I'm hoping to get more stories written before then, so that I don't stop posting for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to get more written this weekend, but who knows.

It's 2019 now and I have closed my 2018 Prompt collection, but fear not my 2019 Prompt Collection is now open here. Just click the sign up link. ;) It will remain open until the beginning of 2020. I'm hoping to complete all the 2019 prompts by the end of 2020. Do not fear I have not forgotten about the 2018 prompts and will continue working through them. It's just easier for me to not get overwhelmed if I keep the prompts separated by the year they were given to me.

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. Please note if you have already voted in the poll and would like to request more stories you can just add a comment to the poll. Please include the name along with the prompt, so that I can appropriately gift the prompt to you.

For any authors that want to chat and/or are looking for a place where they can toss plot ideas around and get input from people, you can come join my discord server that is specifically geared towards writing/encouraging people to write and authors. The invite link is here. If you're not an author, but want to chat with me about writing/stories or anything else you are welcome to join. I reserve the right to boot you from my server if all you do is pester me about updates, however. *grin* Really anyone who wants to talk about writing and/or plot ideas for various stories is welcome to join.

I do not currently have a discord dedicated to my stories. If anyone would be interested in joining a group chat server that is focused on my stories please comment below. Also, if you would like such a thing what kind of things would you like to know about? Please share those with me.

Also, Drakonyashka has translated a couple of my works into Russian. Tutelage and Imbue. Go support them.
