Fandom: Supernatural, NCIS
Genre: General, Crossover, law enforcement investigates the Winchesters

Admin Note: rec'd on fancake, rec'd on TV Tropes

Summary:
When a kidnapped Tony DiNozzo is rescued by legendary - and supposedly dead - serial killers Dean and Sam Winchester, the NCIS team takes over the Winchester investigation. What they find is a file filled with contradictions and impossibilities. This is an attempt to cross these shows but keep both in canon. No pairings.

Review:
An epic, detailed, well-plotted law enforcement crossover that's so incredibly good, and so much better than any of the ones I've rec'd before, that it may well have ruined the whole subgenre for me because nothing could possibly compare.  It's seriously fantastic.  Both fandoms are well represented, it's well-written, and the plot is very well done.  NCIS manages to clear the Winchesters, even though they do so while quite convinced that Sam and Dean are delusional for most of the story, and in turn, Sam and Dean manage to save the NCIS team's lives more than once and foil Crowley's dastardly plans.  I especially love how Ziva's faith allows her to seriously consider what Sam and Dean are saying even when the team is convinced they're just crazy and this leads her to break the case for real by discovering the hidden community of hunters.  Don't worry though, she doesn't bring the law crashing down on them, in part because she believes and in part because the hunters aren't stupid and have lots of practice at evading interference.  Also, there are some very, very funny lines throughout - might want to avoid drinking anything while reading this one due to the frequent unexpected laughing this fic will cause.
