ncisficfindWent back and redid some searches and it popped up right away! *sigh*
It is Snowbound by TaylorGibbs and the sequel is Right Beside Me.
----****
A snowstorm rolls in while team including Ducky and Palmer are out of town at the start of the fic. Ducky and Palmer returned to the Navy Yard as soon as they had packed up the body as the snow was just starting. McGee and David had followed an hour or so later having documented the scene and collected any evidence. Tony and Gibbs had stayed to interview any friends and family in the area.
By the the time they are in the headed back to HQ the snow is falling so heavily that visibility is greatly reduced and accumulating of the snow is slowing traffic along with reduced traction. Gibbs is white-knuckle driving but they have long way to go. Tony in the meantime is trying to get in touch with McGee. I think cell service was impacted by the weather. Traffic is stop and go and even when moving it is at a slow crawl.
Finally Gibbs exits the highway and they head to Walmart for supplies (clothes as they only have the bare basics in their GoBags as well as snacks, coffee, beverages and entertainment - books, DVDs, etc.) and plan to go to a motel/hotel once they pay for everything. Gibbs is in line getting a coffee while Tony does the majority of the shopping. Gibbs calls Tony letting him know they will likely be stuck there for at least two days so Tony picks up more clothes, food and entertainment. Tony purchases a Kindle for himself and a handful of paperbacks for Gibbs.
By the time they leave, Gibbs has gotten them one of the last available rooms at a chain motel/hotel just about next door to the store - he met the manager while in line at the coffee kiosk. The conditions are even worse by the time head to the motel. The major highways are officially closed and a snow emergency is about to be declared limiting travel and the cold is starting to cause Tony's lungs a few issues.
Eventually Gibbs is as enthralled with the Kindle as Tony and the next morning Tony wakes to Gibbs just returning to the room. Gibbs had walked over to the Walmart and picked up some more coffee as well as a Kindle for himself.
I think there was either an extended epilogue or a sequel to this story. I just haven't been able find it in my bookmarks or googling. Does it ring any bells for anyone? I would greatly appreciate any help or pointers. Please and thank you in advance.
