#azagorio

I’ve said before that if I write NOLA smut, I would only write Tammy/Eva smut. they’re chemistry was more palpable. I don’t really see the whole Khourgorio chemistry but they make a great soft moment pairing.

“without your love I’ll be so long and lost, are you missing me?”

this is something i started a while ago and just finished like five minutes ago

Hannah was on the phone when she heard someone enter the squad room. She turned around to find the source of the noise, expecting it to be one of the team members. What she wasn’t expecting was to meet the eyes of Eva Azarova, a Russian sleeper agent that had been declared dead. Hannah immediately ended her call and narrowed her eyes at the woman. She wondered how Eva had got past Roy and worried that she had killed him until she saw the security guard walking around outside.

“Is Tammy here?” the redhead asked, nervously brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She looked around the squad room, not finding any of the agents she had become familiar with.

Narrowing her eyes at Eva, Hannah stood up from her desk. “How did you get in here?”

“I walked in.”

Hannah rolled her eyes at the woman. “I can see that. How did you get past Roy?”

Eva crossed her arms over her chest, feeling like she had made a mistake by coming to surprise Tammy. She had spent her entire ride over wondering if it was a bad idea, but she had somehow convinced herself that it was okay for her to do so. “I spoke with him briefly and he told me that Tammy should be here.”

“You’re supposed to be dead.”

Eva was taken aback by the comment. She didn’t realize that the woman knew who she was. Taking a deep breath, Eva formed a response. “You seem to know exactly who I am, yet I have absolutely no idea who you are.” She raised an eyebrow at Hannah as if she were challenging the other woman.

“Agent Hannah Khoury. This is my team, I’m supposed to protect them so it is my responsibility to know the people that come through that door,” Hannah said, pointing at the entrance Eva had just walked through.

Eva was about to give Hannah a snarky response when she saw movement in the kitchen. Her heart momentarily stopped when she caught a glimpse of that familiar wavy hair she had grown so fond of. A smile grew on her face as she heard Tammy’s voice, finding comfort in the woman’s accent.

Tammy walked out of the kitchen as she spoke with Sebastian, holding a coffee mug in one hand while she used the other to emphasize her words. She hadn’t even reached Chris’ desk when her eyes moved to the center of the room and she noticed Eva. Tammy’s lips curled into a smile when she met Eva’s eyes and she set her mug on the nearby desk before moving toward the redhead.

When Tammy reached Eva, her hands immediately went to cup the woman’s cheeks. The two stood in silence for a moment before Eva leaned down and pressed her lips against the agent’s. It had been long enough since they saw each other and neither woman wanted to waste a minute of it.

Hannah watched the interaction with a curious eye, still confused as to what was happening. She knew that Eva had been reportedly killed in a counter-intelligence operation that involved NCIS, but she wasn’t aware of any specific connection to Tammy.

Tammy pulled away slowly, capturing Eva’s lips in another small kiss before pulling away completely. Her hands moved to rest on Eva’s forearms and the two stared into each other’s eyes until Eva spoke up.

“Happy birthday,” she whispered, grinning down at Tammy. “I wanted to bring you flowers, but I thought this would already be a lot.”

Laughter flowed through Tammy as she shook her head and smiled back at Eva. “You are amazing. But, how did you know it was my birthday?”

Eva looked around Tammy and nodded toward Sebastian. “He told me. Sebastian actually contacted me first. We both knew the risks, but it was worth it. He told me about everything that had happened, with Sonja leaving and you getting kidnapped. I was so scared that he was calling to tell me that something had happened to you, that I wouldn’t get the chance to ever see you again. I knew I had to come to see you.”

Tammy took a deep breath before turning toward Sebastian. “You are the best friend I’ve ever had. I love you, baby.”

“Feeling’s mutual,” Sebastian nodded. “I didn’t think she was going to come out here so quickly. I wanted to set something up, but she insisted on coming as soon as possible.”

Turning to face Eva, Tammy gripped the woman’s hand. Nobody had ever done anything like this for her before. She was so grateful for the family she had made since coming back to New Orleans. She truly had replaced her bad memories of the city with new, amazing memories with amazing people.

Tammy bit her lip when she looked over at Hannah, realizing the woman was lost on the entire subject. She knew she had a lot to explain, but nothing could ruin her mood. She was finally reunited with Eva, something she had been dreaming of since the redhead left for Montana.

“I didn’t even know it was your birthday today,” Hannah furrowed her brows. “I have a lot of other questions, but how did I not know?”

Sebastian raised his hand. “That one is also on me. She told me to not mention it at all, she kind of threatened me.”

Eva raised an eyebrow at Tammy, who, in turn, started shaking her head. She let out a small giggle before wrapping her arm around Tammy’s shoulders. “We have a lot to catch up on. Would you like to accompany me to dinner tonight?”

“Of course, baby.”

hey, anon!! i am always down for soft azagorio. how about soft wives AND an azagorio child? this is my favorite thing i’ve ever written sooooo

When Tammy and Eva’s daughter was born, Eva claimed she would sleep in their bed until she grew to the point where it was uncomfortable for the three to share the bed. Eva wanted to keep her a little girl forever, to protect her from the dangers of the night. Tammy, on the other hand, argued that their daughter should be able to sleep in her own bed once she reached a certain age. The two compromised that their daughter should be the one to decide when she wanted to finally sleep in her own room.

For months Callie went back and forth on her sleeping situation. Some nights, she wanted to sleep in her own room —she was five now, she was a “big girl” according to herself— but other nights she made her way into her mothers’ bed when they weren’t looking. It became a game for the family, Callie hid under the covers while her mothers pretended to search around the house for her.

The soft thumping of tiny bare feet along the wooden floor pulled Tammy from her sleep. Blinking slowly, she opened her eyes to find Callie standing in front of her bed. She smiled at the girl and shook her head, putting a finger up to her lips to indicate that the young girl should stay quiet.

“What’s up, baby?” Tammy whispered softly, her voice much raspier than usual.

The girl reached for the blanket covering Tammy and tugged on it. “I want to sleep with you and Mama.”

Tammy glanced over her shoulder to find Eva curled by her side, fast asleep. She looked back down at Callie and nodded, holding her arms out for the girl to crawl into. “Careful not to wake Mama up, she’ll be cranky.” Tammy ended her warning with a scrunched nose, causing the girl to giggle.

“Mommy!” Callie whisper-yelled at Tammy. “You’re gonna make me wake her up!”

Tammy smiled and kissed her daughter’s forehead before laying her down between herself and Eva. “Mama’s going to be so happy to see you in here in the morning.” She draped her arm over Callie’s body, holding the girl close to her chest. Tammy felt her heart warm as Callie snuggled into her embrace, wiggling between Tammy and Eva.

The next morning, Eva woke up to a weight on her chest. At first, she thought it was Tammy but soon realized the weight was much lighter than the other woman’s head. With a smile, she opened her eyes to find Callie curled up against her. Eva raised her hand to Callie’s head, softly running her fingers through the dark tresses as the girl slept. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of Tammy smiling in her sleep before turning her attention back to her daughter.

As Eva tried to drift back to sleep, her mind wandered aimlessly. She caught herself thinking of Tammy, of how much the woman impacted her life. Before Tammy, Eva was unsure if she would ever find love. Her life had never consisted of many feelings, they often got in the way of her duties. At night, she often dreamt of finding someone to spend the rest of her life with, but she knew it wouldn’t ever become a reality. She dreamt of finding a woman to give all of her love to, of finding a woman that made her heart swoon. When she met Tammy, everything changed. She realized that this was a possible future for her, she could find someone to make a life with.

Although Eva wanted this, Tammy was something she hadn’t been expecting. Tammy was everything Eva could ask for in a woman. Not only was she gorgeous and charming, but she was also capable of keeping up with Eva —physically and mentally. The two had a comfortable banter from the moment they met, it was only a matter of time before their relationship went further than either expected.

When Eva was released from prison, her first goal was to meet Tammy as a woman, not a former Russian agent. She wanted to ask her for drinks as a way of repayment for her troubles. Eva didn’t even get to ask before she felt Tammy’s lips pressed against her own. The kiss was incredible, much less bittersweet than their first. From there, a relationship bloomed. Eva started to hang around the NCIS building and before Tammy knew it, Eva had joined the family the team created. This was something Eva had been searching for her whole life, she wanted to find a group that accepted her as she was. The NCIS team was perfect for her.

Eva hadn’t gone into her relationship with Tammy with the idea that the two would start a family. If she were being honest, Eva expected Tammy to grow tired of her quickly. As time progressed, Eva found herself growing more and more in love with Tammy and the life they had created together. She wanted nothing more than to live in this world forever, with Tammy and their perfect house. When Tammy proposed to Eva, Eva couldn’t find the words to explain her excitement. Eva had finally found what she wanted as a young girl, someone who loved her despite her flaws.

Now, Eva was curled up in bed with her wife and their daughter. She couldn’t be more thankful for the life she made for herself.

A voice —her favorite voice— interrupted her thoughts. “Deep in thought, baby?”

Eva opened her eyes and turned her head to face Tammy. She nodded softly, careful not to wake the sleeping girl in her arms. “I was just thinking about you, about how lucky I am to have you and Callie.”

Tammy reached for Eva’s hand and intertwined their fingers. She rubbed soft circles on the back of Eva’s hand with her thumb, smiling at the redhead. “I love you, Eva.”

Eva’s eyes fell to their hands before meeting Tammy’s once more. She brought their intertwined hands to her lips and pressed a small kiss to Tammy’s knuckles. “I love you more,” she whispered.

Their gentle moment, however, was quickly interrupted by the third party in the room. Although she had stayed silent, Callie was awake and watching her mothers intently. She watched with wide, amazed eyes as she witnessed the love her mothers shared for each other. The two women had been the most important influences in her life, they had exposed her to love from the day she was born. Her favorite thing to do was to sit in the backseat of her Mom’s car and watch as Tammy and Eva spoke softly to each other and stare at each other in admiration.

Moments like the current one were Callie’s favorites to interrupt. She would call out something random and both of her mothers would burst into a fit of laughter before kissing her head and calling her cute names. So, as usual, she interrupted.

“Mommy, can you make pancakes? You make the bestest pancakes!”

Tammy met Eva’s eyes, trying to stifle her laughter with the back of her hand.

Eva was offended at Callie’s comment. She thought her pancakes were great! She even put chocolate chips in the batter for Callie. “Mommy’s pancakes are better than mine?” she gasped.

Callie nodded before quickly hiding her face in the crook of Tammy’s neck. She wrapped her arms around her mom and held her close, knowing what was about to come from her comment.

Smirking, Eva raised her hands before they fell to Callie’s sides and began to tickle her. She moved her hands around Callie’s torso, making sure to hit her most ticklish spots.

“Are Mommy’s pancakes really better than mine? Really, Callie?” Eva teased as she continued her attack.

“No! No!” Callie squealed through her giggles. “Yours are better, Mama!”

Tammy watched in amusement as Eva engaged in the tickle attack, she knew what it was like to be on the other end of those. Plenty of times she had made a joke about something and Eva resorted to tickling her sides.

“Don’t start laughing, Tammy. You’re next,” Eva looked up with a smirk. “Callie, let’s tickle Mommy!”

With Eva’s demand, Tammy became the latest victim to Eva’s tickle attack. Callie crawled onto Tammy’s stomach and tickled one side while Eva got the other, leaving the brunette squirming in giggles.

“Eva Azarova, you will regret this,” Tammy muttered between her laughs.

i wanted to write this for a while. it’s something cute. kind of trash but it’s the first thing i’ve been able to finish in a long time

“So, you and Sonja moved into an apartment with bullet holes in the walls?” Hannah asked Tammy as they both exited her car. Tammy had been explaining where her apartment was to Hannah, who wasn’t completely familiar with the city yet.

Tammy nodded and walked beside Hannah while they made their way toward the entrance to the squad room. “I had been living in a hotel and Sonja needed a cheaper apartment. It’s a great place to live, even with Sonja gone. They were supposed to fix the holes but they never got around to it and I was okay with keeping them there. Gives the place character.”

Tammy’s voice trailed off as her eyes moved to the woman standing in the middle of the squad room. Her mouth fell open and she was left speechless upon seeing the familiar face after months without contact. Tammy’s feet felt like weights and she was stuck standing in the doorway to the building, staring at Eva Azarova. A smile grew on her lips as she noticed Eva’s dress and it was no longer a secret that Tammy had feelings for the woman. Eva was wearing a white lace dress, something Tammy knew that anyone that didn’t know the real Eva would think juxtaposed her personality. Tammy knew, however, that the dress suited Eva perfectly; the white represented an innocence Eva had longed for —and achieved when she moved to Montana. Even after knowing Eva for so long, Tammy continued to be left speechless by the redhead.

Eva let out a sigh of relief when she realized that Tammy was happy to see her. During her flight, Eva had worried that her presence was going to be unwanted, although Alexander had tried convincing her that she was being silly for worrying. Deciding to make the first move, Eva slowly walked toward Tammy, only stopping when she was less than a foot away from the other woman.

“Never say never,” she whispered before cupping Tammy’s left cheek and pressing their lips together. She closed her eyes slowly, enjoying the moment she had longed for the moment she walked out of the medical examiner’s office all those months ago.

Tammy’s hands snaked around Eva’s neck, keeping her close. Tammy had gone long enough without Eva’s presence and she wanted as much contact as the woman was willing to give. She didn’t want to take the moment for granted, she didn’t know how long she had with Eva.

This seemed to be a common occurrence in their relationship, they had never been guaranteed any amount of time so they learned to appreciate any moment they shared. Even when Eva was only out of prison to help out for a case, Tammy couldn’t hide the fact that the woman could take the breath from her lungs with a simple look.

When Eva pulled away from the kiss, Tammy pulled her right back into a hug. She clung onto the woman so tightly that Eva had started to wonder if she would ever let go. Tammy was reluctant to release Eva, but she knew she had to.

“What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in Montana! Where’s Alexander? Is something wrong?” Tammy couldn’t stop the questions from flowing out of her mouth. Despite the enjoyment she currently was experiencing from the woman’s presence, she was worried that something had happened to cause Eva to come back to New Orleans.

Eva’s eyes softened and she laid a hand on Tammy’s arm. “We’re fine, everything is fine. Sasha is talking to Agent LaSalle about football, he has grown to enjoy American sports.” Eva’s eyes moved to the unfamiliar face in the room before turning back to Tammy.

Tammy had completely forgotten that she walked into the room with Hannah the moment she set eyes on Eva. She blushed before turning to face Hannah, who had moved to her desk.

“Eva, this is Agent Hannah Khoury. She took over for Pride when he moved up. Hannah, this is—”

Hannah cut off her agent, “Eva Azarova. Ex-Russian sleeper agent. I thought she had died in an intelligence operation.”

Eva crossed her arms over her chest and seemed to shrink into herself at the line of questioning. She didn’t particularly like the fact that this woman seemed to know her, this meant that she most likely already had an opinion of her. Eva knew she had changed since she was “in the game”, but she knew that Hannah didn’t know that.

Tammy noticed Eva’s change in body language and laid her hand at the small of the redhead’s back. “Pride and I worked out a deal. Legally, she’s dead. She helped us out, we helped her.”

Hannah looked between the two women. She had an idea of the relationship between them based on the scene she had witnessed, but she didn’t want to assume anything. “And you two. . .” she trailed off, hoping Tammy would answer the question she was indirectly asking.

Tammy smirked at Eva, “There’s something there.”

The three settled into a comfortable conversation with Tammy and Eva catching up on things that happened in their lives since they last saw each other. Hannah watched the two women, noting Tammy’s level of comfort with Eva. She could tell that her agent was completely relaxed around Eva and that the walls she seemed to have built were completely nonexistent with her. Hannah was happy to see that Tammy had someone else that she could be herself around.

After a few shifts in conversation, Eva decided to mention the elephant in the room. “Where’s Sonja?”

“She joined the FBI. She needed a change of scenery,” Tammy sighed. She knew that the question was going to come up, but it still was hard to answer. She couldn’t do anything to keep her best friend in town, she felt absolutely powerless, but she couldn’t blame Sonja. She had done the same thing when she joined NCIS. She got a taste of something different and realized it was what she wanted. Tammy had to support Sonja in her decision.

Eva reached over and rubbed the back of Tammy’s hand. “I’m sorry,” she said softly. “I know you two were close.”

Tammy nodded her head and gave Eva a weak smile. “It’s okay, we still talk sometimes. Sebastian really helped me out, I was in a hole when she left.”

Tammy glanced at the clock on her desk, realizing she only had thirty minutes left at work. She turned her head to Hannah to ask if she could slip out a little early and received a nod before she could even ask. A grin broke out on her face and she made a mental note to bring the woman coffee and donuts in the morning as a thank you.

Alexander walked into the room with Chris, pulling Tammy’s attention from her silent conversation with Hannah. He walked across the room toward Tammy and shocked everyone in the room by pulling Tammy into a hug. He muttered unintelligible Russian to her, causing Tammy to laugh.

“English, Alexander,” she said with a smile. She patted Alexander’s shoulder before stepping away from him.

Alexander turned to her with a serious expression on his face. “I never got to thank you for what you did for us. I came to America to save Eva and you gave us a second chance. I owe you my life.”

Tammy wrapped her arm around Eva’s waist and pulled the redhead closer to her. “You kept this one safe. She has a habit of getting herself into trouble. I was happy to do whatever it took to make sure you and Eva could live a normal life, you both deserve it.” Tammy gestured toward Hannah, “Alexander, this is Agent Hannah Khoury, she took over for Pride when he got a promotion. Hannah, this is Eva’s brother, Alexander Petrov. He has a habit of speaking Russian to Eva, so feel free to ask him to speak English or any other language you can understand.”

“This is why you were learning Russian?” Hannah asked with a smirk. “You wanted to feel closer to Eva, didn’t you?”

A blush grew on Tammy’s cheeks and she nodded slowly. “I was lonely at the time, I wanted to feel close to something. Eva was my first thought.”

Pressing a kiss to Tammy’s cheek, Eva wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held Tammy in place. “You, Agent Gregorio, are adorable.”
