From anything I've seen of the NCIS Fandom, they always don't care to bother with shipper wars. You either like couples or you don't, & you leave the ones who do like a couple you don't like alone . I don't know what it is but I've never come across any shipper wars in the fandom even when people don't like couples or characters

While there may be a longer wait here I can't fault it as its not their fault. Hopefully they pick up their 'slow burn' & stop teasing soon & turn it into something though
