One possible scenario in this fanfiction could be that Callen's shooting leads to a deep exploration of his past traumas. Maybe as he lies in the hospital, his team members start to uncover secrets about his early life that were previously unknown. This could create new bonds and a stronger sense of unity within the team.
Another plot twist could be that the shooter has a personal vendetta against Callen, but it's based on a misunderstanding. As Callen lies injured, the team discovers that the shooter thought Callen was responsible for something he didn't do. This could lead to a redemption arc for the shooter and a new friendship or alliance in the end.
One common theme is the team's reaction. They are like a family, so when Callen is shot, there's a lot of shock and worry. Another theme could be the search for the shooter. The team won't rest until they find out who did it and bring them to justice.
In this type of fanfiction, it might be that Kensi is lured into a trap and gets shot. Her teammates would be devastated. The story could show how they hunt down the people responsible. As Kensi is in recovery, she could have some self - doubts about her abilities. But with the support of her team, she gradually overcomes these and gets back to her old self, stronger than ever.
There could be a fanfiction where Callen is hurt in a car accident while chasing a suspect. This leads to him having amnesia for a while. His teammates are distraught and they try to help him regain his memory. Along the way, they discover some long - hidden secrets about Callen's past that he had never shared with them before. It could be a story full of mystery and emotion.
In many NCIS Los Angeles fanfictions where Callen gets shot, it often leads to intense emotional moments among the team. His partners like Sam Hanna would be extremely worried. They would rush him to the medical facilities available within the NCIS setup. The story might then focus on his recovery process, with flashbacks to his past and how his near - death experience changes his perspective on life and the job.
He might be in a critical condition. His partner Kensi could be blaming herself for not being there to protect him. The team would be on high alert to find the shooter and make sure there are no further threats to Deeks or the rest of the team.
A fanfic that stands out is 'OC's Impact on Callen'. This one focuses on how the OC changes Callen's perspective and his way of handling cases. The OC is portrayed as a strong - willed and intelligent character, and the way they interact with Callen is both engaging and believable. It also has some great action scenes that are typical of the NCIS LA style.
A good one would have great character development. It should stay true to the personalities of Callen and Kensi as we know them from the show. If it shows how their relationship evolves leading up to the kiss, that's even better.
One possible scenario could be that Deeks gets shot during a dangerous undercover operation. His team members, like Callen and Sam, rush to his side. Hetty might use her connections to get the best medical help. And Kensi would be by his side throughout his recovery, their relationship growing even stronger in the face of this life - threatening event.
