Gibbs/DiNozzo is a popular slash pairing in NCIS fandom of Jethro Gibbs and Tony DiNozzo.
Canon Interaction
DiNozzo has been on Gibbs' team the longest, having joined the NCIS after he worked with Gibbs for the first time (while he was still with the PD in Baltimore).
When Gibbs is incapacitated for any reason, Tony – whether or not second in commando – automatically assumes leadership of the team. In the episode where Tony's identity is stolen, and he is presumed dead, Gibbs' reaction appears not to be that of a superior in command, nor a concerned friend, but rather a lover devastated by losing his love.
Their relationship is one of the strongest, compared to the friendship that Gibbs maintains with Abby, Ducky and Fornell. Tony owns rights that few within the show own, such as being able to enter in Gibbs' house and basement without having to ask permission, knowing more about his past than some of the probies who went through the bullpen, as well as being the one Gibbs trusted to safeguard his decorations – until he left the show – demonstrating how close they are and how intimate their relationship is.
Gibbs knows more about Tony's intimate life, particularly his past with DiNozzo Senior, than the rest of the team, being something of a reciprocal relationship as the show progresses.
Fandom
[susan217 for ship_manifesto]
The thing that drew me into NCIS was the humor, and Tony and Gibbs offer it wrapped up in pretty packages. We’re talking about an easy going, fun loving street cop, with a grumpy, unsmiling, former marine. I know it sounds like a cheesy set up for a sitcom, but when you see how these two play off each other, you’ll fall in love.
Their relationship is great to watch. Tony dying for Gibbs approval, and Gibbs refusing to accept anything less than the best from Tony results in some interesting conversations. Tony is the only person whose ever have the guts to tease Gibbs, and Gibbs enjoys sparring with Tony.
They argue, they laugh, they tease. The ship just rocks.[1]
