#everybody feels McDanno

[ellena-asg]

Touch of death (h50 2x21 & NCIS LA 3x21 crossover episodes) and... Three times when Danny Williams felt like a suspect 😉

I. Steve is in Japan, Danny is in Steve's house, Chin comes and...

Don't look at Danny like that, Chin. And please, don't be too curious. Leave it, man. You just have to believe that he has a... a... um... a key. Cause he was crashing there, you know. And don't even try to ask what Danny means by "crashing" (there with Steve).

Danny: *Phew! He changed the topic, good. My alibi is strong*

Chin: *chuckling mentally*

II. Danny is calling Sam Hanna, he needs his help so he says "I'm detective Danny Williams from Five-0 blah blah blah" and then...

A friend of mine. A colleague. A Seal/cop guy who works with me in the same team. Non-stranger. Fellow human being... You know, um, McGarrett...

aka: What to call Steve so Sam won't think that Danny is head over heels in love with Steve.

Danny: *Phew! Good that I added "a colleague" word*

Sam: *trying not to laugh maniacally* *oh yeah, detective Williams, I know McGarrett but I didn't know that he's got a boyfriend* *winking mentally*

III. The Five-O/NCIS case is solved. Danny, Chin and NCIS team are at NCIS' HQ. They're joking and talking, they need some beer and shower blah blah blah. And then there's... this:

No, uh... You know, we left Kono there. She's alone. She can't fight with all Hawaiian crime alone, right? And Monkey misses me and um...

Danny: *Phew! My alibis are the best*

NCIS team: *Geez, it must be a Very Hot Date* *chuckling mentally*

Chin, also mentally: *Hot date? Not yet! But he desperately needs to be in Hawaii as soon as possible. Cause, you know guys, his future(?) boyfriend Steve McGarrett is in Japan and Danny needs to be in Hawaii to wait for him! And you know, there is a lady, Catherine, she, huh, she's often around Danny's boyfriend when Danny isn't there so you know... DANNY REALLY NEEDS TO COME BACK*

[alea-says]

H50, season 4, episode 19 thoughts...

Sarcastic Danny my beloved.

And they're having an argument.

Oh wow. Bomb. Okay.

Yet another trope to tick off the list: trapped together under a collapsed building.

(I need to write a list of all the tropes this stupid show covers one day)

Okay... if they're at Danny's place... where's Grace?

Called it.

Oh. Poor Grace. 😭😭😭 She tried calling Danny and it kept going to voicemail. Danny?? How?? This is not in character for you!

Steve laughing. He can see Amber isn't right for Danny if she's causing these issues already.

And now we also hear that Danny and Amber have been spending time together without him mentioning her to Grace...

Also, why is Steve in a wetsuit? Where is my shirtless Steve to ogle? And for Danny to ogle too

Danny doesn't want Grace to get attached to another woman.

Interesting choice of words. Woman. Not partner or girlfriend. But woman.

And he has no problem with Grace being attached to Steve. But I guess he knows Steve isn't going anywhere.

Steve calling Danny out on not being serious about the relationship.

Oh they are covered in dust. Which is actually really realistic.

That ringing noise is gonna drive me insane, though. Poor dudes.

Steve calling for Danny.

Catherine yelling for both of them. (I could maybe go a throuple)

Grabbing hands 😍😍😍

Holding hands 😍😍😍

Aww Danny!

The feels!

Danny and Steve and surviving together.

Oh no! Not rebar!

Why is Steve saying to take it out? Isn't that the first rule, to leave it in?

Okay. Steve's saying infection and sepsis and I don't know enough medical stuff to know if that's real... I'd have thought you'd bleed out before you died of sepsis... doesn't sepsis take time?

Steve: the really bad pain only lasts a couple of seconds. You gotta stay conscious.

Steve: that's my boy... stay with me...

(Gotta say that rebar was not as long as I expected)

Oh, they're arguing. They're gonna be all right cos they're arguing.

Grover: everybody stop moving *as he continues walking*

Danny: can I die in peace, please.

Uh, no, Danny, as if you'll die in peace if you're dying with Steve.

And, even though Danny's complaining, he's also starting to work the case again. Questioning why this guy.

Danny: it's not as bad as it looks

Catherine: thanks for trying to make me feel better

Max: this is a lot worse than I imagined

Steve telling Catherine to make a reservation for dinner that night. Would only have been better if he'd said to make it for all of them. Love how he operates as if they're gonna get through it.

Danny finds out it been all over the news and his first thought is Grace ❤️

Okay, I get not wanting Grace to worry about him, but seriously after that morning you can't tell her she's grounded. She did nothing wrong.

Also, if I was Grace I'd want the chance to talk to my dad even if it did mean I was worried about him.

Oooh. Mysterious outside guy.

And now mcdanno are having a serious conversation.

Danny: everytime something good happens in my life I just think about when it's going to end. That's all I can think about.

(So how long has he been fearing his relationship with Steve falling apart?)

Danny: the only sustained happiness I've ever felt in my life so far is Grace.

Steve telling Danny to bring Amber in, bring her closer - he should be giving that advice about himself

Danny agrees, if he makes it out alive, to give it a shot. (Steve really should have suggested them getting closer instead)

Please tell me we're getting science Steve again.

And he's got a grenade.

Directional charge. Oh yes.

Danny: this gonna work?

Steve: I dunno

Danny: hold on. Before we do this I just what you to know one thing.

Steve: what?

Danny: whatever happens, I really, really, from the bottom of my heart, hate you so much.

*they both smile and laugh* (they totally know hate is code for love)

Steve: I love you too, pal

😍

Danny: I guess there's a lot worse people to die under a big pile of concrete with, huh?

Steve: You wanna do the honours?

Danny: no, no. It's your stupid idea. You do it.

(This is so beautiful)

They get Danny up first! Of course Steve sent him up first!

And the first thing Danny says?

Danny: Steve. You gotta get Steve. He's still down there.

(I half expected them to both come up together, hugging)

Oh I like Catherine's watch.

The cop car arriving with Grace!!!

The way Grace hugs Steve, too.

And, after being trapped together for hours, Danny asks Amber and Grace to give him and Steve a moment. He still hasn't had enough time with his man.

Danny: when we were in there you said. You know, before you did the thing with the bomb, you said what you said. I want you to know, I feel the same way.

Steve: how is that exactly?

Danny: gonna make me say it? Come here. *hugs* I love you.

Steve: I love you, buddy

And mystery guy is ex-CIA

Have you gotten the message?

Steve walls through the door.

Please peeps, Steve does not give up, okay. The more you push at him to back off, the harder he's gonna come after you. Dude likes a challenge.

Now Steve's got a gun on the guy.

Okay, guy is explaining... it seems a bit too easy for him to be just explaining...

And now the dude is dead.

Thank you @nijinskys for tagging me! And Merry Christmas if it isn't over where you are 🎄

3 ships: Three isn't many, so I'll shine some light on ships I seldom mention (everybody knows I'm a Destiel shipper, let's move on).

Edmund Reid/Homer Jackson, Ripper Street. This is a great show and every character is dear to my heart. Dr. Jackson has the style and casualness necessary to loosen up that stuck-up Detective 😏

Ross Poldark/George Warleggan, Poldark. I like the canon pairings but I love hatesex and toxic relationships in fics, so...

Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin, The Aubrey-Maturin series. One of the greatest book series of all time (and I say that sincerely) blessed us with one of the most beautiful ships in fandom history, and nobody knows about it! Well, everybody who's read the books knows. This is a beautiful relationship and I aspire to share that much love, affection and care with someone someday. Seriously, give these books a shot. Or the movie, at least.

First ever ship: McDanno, Hawaii Five-0. I started watching this show in 2011, when I was 12. I didn't know what fandoms or ships were, I barely knew I was queer, and I didn't put words on what these characters and their relationship made me feel. Then I went through queerbaiting with SPN and I was paranoid. Were they really..., or was I just seeing what I wanted to? But now, 11 years later, I can come back to it as an adult and say that Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams are desperately gay for each other, and I can write about it.

Last song: 85, Andy Grammer. I need me some good vibes and repetitive fast beats.

Last movie: I think it was Soldier's Girl? The past weeks are a blur.

Currently reading: Fanfics, mostly! I don't have the energy for books at this time and paused The Traitor Baru Cormorant weeks ago (I'm sorry, Minnie). But it's all good because I'm discovering the fic landscape I'm now posting in and that's a good thing to do.

Currently watching: The tenth and last season of Hawaii Five-0 (slowly, painfully, joyfully, shaking my head at its awful politics) and a lot of video essays and Call Me Kevin playthroughs to help me sleep.

Currently consuming: nothing, I'm spending the morning in bed and I can't be bothered to go to the kitchen.

Currently craving: my family

Tagging: @septemberskye @somfte @lichfucker @allyougotisrain (if you've been tagged/have done this already, I apologize, I haven't been keeping up well with tumblr these past days, and of course, no pressure)

Happy end of the year to you all 💙

[ellena-asg]

Thank you babe! 😘 @itshoneywhatever

Last song: Tom Rosenthal - Go solo

Favourite colour: all shades of blue 😍 I also love green, grey and gold

Last movie: The lost boys (rewatched)

Sweet/spicy/savoury: I have a sweet tooth

Relationship status: single (forever, I guess)

Last thing I googled: matelotage

Current obsession: Hawaii Five-0 and McDanno (always), Pirates of the Caribbean (Sparrington, Willabeth, many characters there, soundtrack, vibes, fanfiction...), 80's/90's/00's music (rock especially), cats (forever), mushroom hunting

Everybody feel tagged 😘

9 People I’d like to get to know better

Thank you @fist-of-the-fleet 💞

Last Song: Womanizer by Britney Spears 😂

Favorite Color: Black for clothes, lilac for accessories, pink for my bedroom, dark green

Last Movie: Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves (just because i love Chris Pine too much)

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Yes. The answer is yes to all of them

Relationship Status: Single as fuck but happier than most people in a relationship 😂

Last Thing I Googled: IPads and their characteristics

Current Obsession: F1 and Lestappen

rated in order of least to most favourite: 

1.  a helping hand - buckytony, mcu, established relationship, 1k, K+

Bucky wants to shave his beard. Tony helps.

i really enjoy the intimacy involved in acts of service, and there’s always something so small and treasured about shaving,,,the trust involved in letting someone that close to your face with a knife, the intimacy in being no more than a couple of breaths away from each other, the faith that the other person won’t fuck up your face by giving you a weird shave -- i just love the layers to shaving someone else,,,and i just had to make it buckytony. this is a really short fic (as most of my fics are) but i really love it

2. broken pieces (me and you) fit together perfectly - samrhodey, mcu, developing relationship, post IW, 1.5k, K+

After Thanos, after the Snap, after Sam loses everything familiar, he finds Jim.

//

AU-gust Day 5: Post Apocalyptic AU

i really enjoy samrhodey, i really enjoy the idea of Rhodey only being a couple year’s ahead of Sam and Sam having a big crush on him, i really like the idea of both of them bonding when they join the Avengers post AoU, i really like the idea of this simple, easy relationship developing between them in this very soft and understated way, but ive never actually written them before this fic - which is why im so proud of this fic, because i like the story ive weaved here

3. princely duties - thortony, mcu, asgardian tony AU, meet cute, 1.6k, K+

Thor Odinson, Crown Prince of the Realm of Asgard, Brother of Loki the Silvertongue, son to Frigga the Kind and Odin the Great, was known for a great many things.

He was known for his great looming stature, stranding tall and proud even for an Asgardian, with muscles that rippled and tensed as he walked. He was known for his illustrious hair, a thick blond mane that he'd taken a vow to never cut, braided and cascading down his shoulders in thick waves. He was known for his might on the battlefield, for the terror he struck through the heart of his enemies when he called lighting itself down to rain fire on those who dared oppose him.

He was known for being a gentle prince, for always having an ear open and the time for a pitcher of ale. He was known for the bond he had with his brother Loki - how the two of them had curled around each other at birth, his tiny fist clenched around his brother's equally tiny pinky, and never let go.

But more than any of that, Thor Odinson was known for never taking a Consort, in all his years.

//

AU-gust Day 9: Royalty AU

Ostensibly, this is a thortony fic, but i really like this fic because of the relationship i wrote for Thor and Loki. i do hope to continue this some day, to expand this verse into a couple of related one shots that show Thor and Tony’s relationship overtime, and develop more on Thor and Loki as brothers because i think we were really robbed of that in the mcu - but this is one of my better AU-gust fills, for sure

4. the things we tell ourselves in the dark - stevetony, emh, skrulls, angst, 1.1k, K

“Still,” he turns away from Tony, because he doesn’t want to hurt him, but if he doesn’t get this out, it might eat him alive, “I was with them for months Tony. Months. How did you not notice? How did you not know it wasn't me?”

this is one of the few stevetony fics ive written all year, because ive sort of fallen out of love with the ship but emh brought it back in full force. i wrote this entire fic in 20 minutes literally the second i finished the Secret Invasion episode because there was such delicious angst and it begged to be written, and im so happy with how this turned out. i personally, am always quite worried that characters sometimes sound OOC in my fics, but i definitely didn’t have that issue with this fic, and i just really enjoyed writing it

5. 1000 lives (for you) - buckytony, mcu, soulmates AU, tws compliant, 14.7k, T

On the 10th of December 1991, the Asset is taken out of cyro, and there is a name on his right wrist.

On the 16th of December 1991, he is sent out to shoot the tyre of a car, and then kill the man and woman inside.

When he returns to base, there is a boy, no older than 17, chained to the wall of his room, shivering and bravely fighting back tears.

It does not occur to the Asset until much later than these two events are connected.

//

AU-gust Day 3: Soulmates AU

this is currently my largest fic till date, and it is such a labour of love. i don’t think ive ever worked this hard, or this long on a fic, and it’s definitely the fic i am the most proud of from 2020. im having so much fun writing this, and im really hoping that everybody reading this is really enjoying it too because i have so many ideas for this verse and it’s possibly one of my favourite things ive written ever -- not just this year

+

Bonus: the morning after - mcdanno, hawaii 5 o, established relationship, 1k, T

“I know I say this a lot,” Danny’s voice is still gruff with sleep, and he peers at Steve with one eye, as if opening both is too bright for him. He’s half twisted so he can face Steve, and the show of flexibility isn’t helping with Steve’s mission to keep things PG-13, “but today - you are literally a pain in my ass.”

i very recently got into hawaii 5 o, but i truly love these idiots with all my heart and soul, and it’s been so long since i immersed myself in a new fandom or wrote for any other characters, so i wanted to celebrate that by choosing my favourite h5o fic from this year. the thing about mcdanno is that they really do write themselves, and there’s so much potential with them that a lot of what i write is stuff you can truly imagine just happens off screen on the show. anyway, Danny is always calling Steve a pain in his ass, and i just thought it would be funny if Steve was literally a pain in this ass, and then this small one shot happened

those are my top 5 fanworks of 2020!! tagging @deathsweetqueen, @diazalex, @rhodee, @aleator, @starklysteve and as always, anybody else who feels like doing this!!

[ohsofoxyclocks]

‪So, I have many thoughts about the finale ending that I haven’t even sorted out my feelings about yet BUT posts on here have helped me see the positives in the ending...Yes I’m still bothered by some of the beach conversation and the TIMING of Steve’s temporary leave and the fact of what we see last on the screen despite knowing Steve will of course return, but I’m going to put that aside to focus on OMG WE JUST GOT AN ALMOST WHOLE EPISODE STRAIGHT FROM A FANFIC THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. I know much of this has been discussed so I apologize if it’s repetitive, but a bunch of my favorite McDanno fanfiction tropes just actually happened in canon and I just...still can’t believe we actually got all of it? So I wanted to make my own list, and feel free to add on or expand or share your thoughts about any of these!! Let’s take stock (warning, this is long!): ‬

‪-Danny calling Steve in distress, Steve immediately leaving his important cipher mystery meeting to get to him. Can already see Steve starting to freak out before the gunshots ring out when he looks out the window and stutters. ‬

‪-Gunshots ringing out OVER THE LINE, and Steve very obviously starting to panic. Drives like a maniac (still confused on how going INTO oncoming traffic was supposed to help but I digress). Steve yelling Danny’s name repeatedly desperate to hear his voice‬

‪-arriving at a burning camaro, screaming Danny’s name (fun tip: play this bit in slow motion!), and STICKING HIS ARM IN A BURNING CAR/catching himself on fire when he thinks Danny could be inside‬

‪-You can hear the creeping desperation/emotion in Steve’s voice as he’s giving orders to HPD (“Detective Danny Williams-MY PARTNER-you know who he is”)‬

-Steve actually mobilizing the whole island to find his Danno. (Again, something I never really expected to see outside of a fanfic). “I want every person on this island with a badge looking for Danny Williams”‬

-Steve’s face when he walks into HQ with Cole and the tears in his eyes when Tani is showing him the kidnapping footage ‬

‪-Just the whole “An enemy of Steve’s uses Danny to get to him”!!!! I always wanted it but never expected it so explicitly ‬

‪-“I HAVE THE PERSON YOU CARE ABOUT MOST IN THE WORLD.” GUYS—IT DOESNT MATTER WHATEVER ELSE HAPPENS BECAUSE THIS IS CANON BABY. We knew it, everybody knows it, but now it’s confirmed. When rewatching the series, remember this<3 also part of me is like, will all the other criminals hear about this and try to do the same when Steve comes back since Steve put up no fight in giving in to Dayui Mei’s demands? Isthiswhyheleftsoquickly‬.

-video footage of Danny strung up and bloodied...fanfic come to life. Steve’s face when he sees this....‬

‪-Steve looking like he’s gonna simultaneously collapse, panic, and murder someone when Dayiu Mei is asking him what he will do‬

‪-Steve not hesitating to give into Mrs. Wo Fat’s demands bc any risk is too risky when Danno is involved‬

‪-The team trying to get Steve to give a flying fart about the cipher when Danny’s life is on the line and Steve still not giving a flying fart. ‬

-Steve finding Danny lying helpless on the floor. His whispered “Danny” when he first sees him (you have to listen close for this because the dramatic background music is super loud at this point).‬

‪-His little stream of soft, comforting reassurances as he’s getting Danno to the car. Danny holding onto him‬

‪-CRADLING BLOODIED, STRUGGLING TO-BREATHE-DANNO TO HIS CHEST IN HIS ARMS. My mom, who doesn’t ship McDanno romantically but loves their friendship, when this happened: “whoa! That’s a little much (gay), don’t you think?” Hehe, no, it’s perfect. ‬

-More tears from Steve as he’s holding Danny on the way to the hospital.‬

-Steve’s comforting reassurances and refusing to let go of Danny on the gurney until he’s absolutely forced to. DANNY REACHING FOR HIM, Steve’s reassuring pat. Steve’s face as he looks down at him fearing how dire this is.‬

‪-Steve’s face as he collapses against the wall when they roll Danny through the double doors, closing his eyes, trying to calm his breathing as he tries to avoid thinking about the unthinkable.‬

-STEVE BARGAINING WITH GOD FOR DANNY’S LIFE. After not seeing him pray before I don’t think? His face...that emotion...omg. He very obviously can’t imagine living in a world without Danny in it, and would rather die than do so. ‬

-Side note: Imo, Steve seemed closed off to the team—physically and emotionally—when he wasn’t sure Danny would make it. Almost as if we got a glimpse of the Steve he’d be without his Danno, if that makes sense. Notice how he’s turned away from them in the waiting room/chapel, how he didn’t even look at them when Danny was wheeled away through the double doors. How he didn’t give an eff about the cipher they were trying to get him to care about. Not that he doesn’t have beautiful Ohana bonds with the other team members because of course he does, but...it’s just different with Danny and I don’t know how he would’ve made it through this one, especially considering his already struggling state at the time. I think we kind of saw a glimpse of that, is my point. They both helped each other grow since first meeting, and it was almost like that part Danny helped bring out in Steve went away with Danny when Steve thought he might lose him. If that makes sense? More on this later? ‪

‪-Steve holding unconscious Danny’s hand❤️❤️❤️ Closing his eyes and letting out a deep breath right after taking his hand (anyone want to gif this moment? ;) )-side camera view of this moment so was hard to see but it’s there. Seeming to look at the machines for reassurances that Danny is alive, healthy. Scanning him over and likely feeling guilty for the marks on his body. Holding his head in his hands by Danny’s bedside.‬

‪-the whole conversation when Danny wakes up! Danny, probably a little doped up, all sweet and reassuring and cuddly and funny. “Why’d you stop holding my hand?” and Steve immediately taking his hand back and rubbing his forearm I think (this was out of the camera angle tho so idk for sure). Steve’s voice tinged with so much emotion when he says “Buddy.” And, Steve being emotionally vulnerable/open again bc his Danno is back!! This whole scene I just fhdisksml. ‬

‪-Steve’s smiling and squeezing and wrapping his arms around Danno like an octopus when he hugs him (I wish we had some additional slightly different camera angles of this hug-as was shown in the promo for example-but I digress again). Danny closing his eyes for a moment, seeming to savor it. Steve getting Danny to look him in the eyes to tell him he loves him. To me, this scene had a very “see you again soon” rather than “goodbye” vibe even though I wish there were parts of the dialogue that were different. ‬

‪-Steve slowing down, looking unsure, and turning back to look at Danny before he leaves. Anyone wanna analyze this? Maybe just a “I know I need to do this so I can come back and be the person I need to be for both of us but fuqqit imma miss you while I’m gone” or “I need to leave so no one can use/hurt him to get to me again right now.” Or just “hey maybe this isn’t the most genius plan.” Idk, but I would LOVE to hear Scott and Alex’s take on this scene. Also they filmed this scene before the show was ended by CBS so who knows how that factored into it. If they thought there would be a possible reunion later?

‪-Telling Eddie to look after Danno, which definitely means Danny will be keeping his house/bed warm til his hubby returns.‬

‪-fleeting thought I have that I might expore later: possible acting choices in the difference in hand holding/smiles between with Danny vs. Catherine?Notthepointofthispostthosoweskipfornow‬

‪-I might post thoughts on other things later but I mainly just wanted to compile this list of straight-out-of-fanfic moments that 100% confirms Danny IS the most important person in Steve’s life and OF COURSE he will return and text/call him everyday til then. Regardless of the end, which is really so open that we can do so many beautiful things with now, most of the episode served as a beautiful culmination of what Steve and Danny have come to mean to each other throughout the last 10 years, and we can rest peaceful and happy in that. ❤️‬ (this is also me still trying to convince myself to be okay with the way things were left on the beach/the conversation, etc)

I would love to hear y’all’s thoughts about any of this!!‬ if you made it this far—I apologize again for the length but lovey boys call for lovey rambles

                                              1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 14, 21, 23, 32, 54 

1. how long have you been into h50?

literally for only a few months, since around march i think. i saw a few episodes on tv, liked it and went to search it up. ended up binging the entire 10 seasons in the span of 3 months.

3. the character that makes your blood boil

catherine, hands down. she’s twisted, playing for her own agenda and despite her claims that she loves and cares for steve, i sure didn’t see it one time. she was cute in the first two seasons, but ever since i just saw her character rot more and more and ruin everything that could have possibly make steve happy. she fucked him up one too many times and that ending with her and steve all of a sudden appearing to be a thing again? no thank you.

5. favorite underrated character that you miss dearly

noelani! i feel like we didn’t get enough of her ever since she first appeared, and my god i miss her face so so so much! she’s adorable and not nearly enough in five-0 for my liking. i really wish she had more screen time, even though i know she did appear a lot in sister shows.

10. favorite episode

this is a tough one, because there’s just so many that were so damn good, but if i’d have to choose just one out of the many that are dear to me, it’s 07x08, grace’s winter formal. besides the episode being filled with the obligatory action, i love it because it shows danny as the worried dad he is, not just to grace but to will as well, and seeing steve care so much for danny’s and grace’s safety is so damn heartwarming and it shows just how much he’s an honorary williams just like the williams’ are honorary mcgarretts! plus the mcdanno ship almost sailing when everybody was saved... just too good to pass up on!

12. insight on h50 that you always wanted to share but were shy or unsure

i don’t think there’s anything among those lines since i’m pretty vocal ( more in ooc discussions than on tumblr ) about my opinions about the show, but the one thing that i think i never addressed in ooc convos is that catherine is a very overrated character in the later seasons and that her presence post season 4 seems just forced. it’s like the whole purpose of her character is just to stir shit up and once shit hits the fan, she disappears and just leaves pain and bitterness behind. her character as a whole could have been executed a lot better in my opinion.

14. mr pickles or eddie?

i very much want to protest about this choice because it’s impossible to make a choice! it’s the ‘ my heart says yes but my mind says no ‘ type of deal, where i as a cat person say mr. pickles, but eddie is such a cuddly good boy that it’s hard to say no to him! both. my choice is both.

21. something practical you learned from the show

the most practical thing i learned would be that hawaii is an incredibly beautiful place more than worth visiting and experiencing all the locations myself! other than that it’s that one should never piss off mcgarrett, or hang people off roofs. the last thing honestly isn’t practical but more a life lesson, and that family isn’t just our relatives. it’s our closest friends that know us better than we do ourselves, and that will stick with us no matter what happens.

23. favorite villain

the wright brothers. at first i thought that ian was just a one episode thing since everything indicated towards it, but the episode delivered and it’s such a twisted concept of your normal type of villain we usually got to see in the show. it was refreshing, and the way they brought the idea back in season 8 with aaron was very well done! 

32. your fondest fandom memory

i’m a person who tends to stay out of fandoms in terms of actively participating in discourse, be it on tumblr or or any kind of forum or social media platforms. in the years i’ve been on tumblr, ranging from the once upon a time fandom to the 100 ( albeit for a short time because holy jesus is that fandom toxic ), i’ve learned that the fandoms ( and here i don’t mean the rpc ) tend to go batshit insane when it comes to ships, certain characters and the likes, so for my sake i tend to stay away from such things in general. however, the one thing i hold dear to heart when it comes to the fandom is that it allowed me to find friends within the rpc who i can share ideas and thoughts with and swoon over characters at any given moment!

54. one hawaiian word you like very much

ohana. i’ve elaborated a bit on that in one of the previous questions and kind of touched on it in the second to last question as well, but ohana as a hawaiian word is something i hold very dear to my heart. i’ve met people on here that at this point in time i consider to be my ohana, people who i have connected with a lot and people who i know will always be understanding and never judge me for anything. i’m incredibly grateful for them!

Aloha and mahalo.

I started watching H50 about a year ago. I was looking for a easy to watch silly show just to have it on the background while I did the dishes. I scaned the entire catalog of Amazon Prime and this little show with the dude from Ocean’s 11 caught my eye so I put play on the pilot and boom I was in love with Danny Williams, don’t get me wrong Steve is awesome but grumpy, cranky, amazing dad Danno stole my heart from the beginning and never let it go. So I did something I thought I will never do search for fanfic and just like that I found McDanno. I was half way through season two when AO3 stole my life and I had to start over and watched the show more carefully and oh boy, best decision ever. Those guys together are pure gold. They love each other so much. I felt in love with McDanno thanks to fanfic. To be honest I haven’t watched anything beyond season 4 except from 10x21 and 10x22 and that is why I’m posting this. The finale, I have so many mix feelings about the finale. First of all I know everybody is mourning because this ending is probably not what we expected but can we pause a little and talk about how badass my Danno was, his escape from the kidnappers just wow. And all the McDanno scenes they really, really love each other, period. Brother, friends, lovers whatever what they feel for each other goes beyond any of that. It sucks that Steve left yeah it does but I understand he had to do it so many bad memories, sometimes you need to leave everything behind in order to understand that you don’t need more, to understand that what you left behind was exactly what you were looking for. Danny couldn’t follow Steve he has Charlie and for Danny his kids are everything and he is not alone his Ohana is there those guys love Danny as much as they love Steve they are not dicks. I believe with all my heart Steve is going back. Yes it sucks that the last scenes were not McDanno, yes I hate the last 2 minutes also but I don’t hate Steve leaving because I know he is going to come back. But what I hate most about the finale is that my boy, my Danno didn’t have a proper closure, now I miss all the possibilities season 11 could have bring. Nothing to do with McDanno but I’m rewatching How I met your Mother and I hate the ending with the force of a 1000 fires but I’m still enjoying all the happy moments between Barney and Robin even though I now how they will end. Don’t let the ending ruin your love for the show and this amazing characters

Are you currently working on any fics? Can you tell us about them if you are?

SO MANY! I physically cannot stop coming up with new WIPs. And even my old stuff I get back into every now and then.

But the past year I have started WIP's for the following:

Endeavour: 3 different Jakes/Morse fics, one of which I'm getting very close to posting where Jakes falls for Morse in early series 2 and is trying desperately to keep it under wraps. The others are 1) a rather canon compliant fic where eventually Jakes and his kid return to Oxford, and 2) where Jakes askes for Morse's help catching a child trafficker associated with the Blenheim Vale nonsense then he catches some feelings

Endeavor: A Jakes/Hope fic focused on how they met. It's technically part of my canon compliant Jakes/Morse fic but it can stand on its own as well. So we'll see where we get

Greedfall: f!De Sardet/Kurt because I love those cuties and how they care for each other. Also gotta deal with my feelings about De Sardet going through the shit she does. Everybody does her dirty and it's not cool!

Hawaii 5-0: 2 McDanno fics. One is the massive vignette piece I've posted some of. I am slowly chipping away at it. There are more chapters coming, I promise! And another two-chapter fic where they both come down with the flu. I swear I started writing it last October! I have receipts!

Mag7: 2 Vasquez/Faraday fics. I have the Seven Days I will finish! I will! And then a massive they-all-miraculously-live fic that's angsty and long and lovely and has some Goodnight/Billy thrown in that probably never see the light of day.

Outerworlds: A f!Captain/Nyoka fic with some Captain/Max thrown in. I have kinda abandoned work on this one but I love my Captain 😂

Fallet: Sophie/OC because I have that sweet gay feeling and need it in my life eventhough literally no one is making content for Fallet.

And then I have hundreds of old dusty sad fics that miss me and cry out to be finished and posted (I see you old FMA fic from ff.net. One day you will be finished 😭)

Fic: Love, Danny (1/?)

Summary: McDanno AU based on the movie Love, Rosie.

Author note: This took me forever, but I had fun writing it so I really hope you guys enjoy it! This first part might be a little confusing for the ones who haven’t seen the movie, but I’m hoping it will all make sense with the next few chapters! Please let me know what you think :)

Danny faintly heard the clinking noise of a fork hitting a glass, a clear sign from Kono that it was now time for his speech. Reluctantly he stood up, trying to pull himself together and out of his thoughts, looking over the other wedding guests who were now already watching him.

Steve, the love of Danny’s life and his best friend since they were five years old, smiled up at him from his seat beside the woman who was now his wife. As much as it pained him Danny managed to smile back, because he had to. He had to keep up the act, let them know that this had to be one of the happiest days of his life, no matter how much it actually hurt him or crushed his heart into what felt like a million tiny little pieces.

**

12 years earlier, Danny’s 18th birthday party

The music at the bar was loud, one of Danny’s favorite songs playing while he dragged Steve out to the dance floor. Tonight had been so amazing and he’d never felt so free before. It was like he could do whatever he wanted, and yeah, it might be the tequila shots, but he just really needed Steve to be closer right now so Danny pulled him in until their foreheads were touching.

They were in their own little world, the people around them forgotten as they moved together, the music taking over. There was nothing standing between them now, and when Danny looked into Steve’s eyes something changed. All it took was one look down at Steve’s lips, then up again, and then Steve was closing the small gap between them. Everything that had been building up between them all those years snapped.

They kissed, fucking finally, and Danny moaned softly when Steve’s hand slid into his hair. The moment lasted for what seemed like forever, and they only pulled away when they needed to breathe, still staying as close as possible. The way Steve was looking at him, like this was all he’d ever wanted in his whole life, it was overwhelming. Danny needed to do something, to show him that he felt the same, that-

Danny slid on the slightly wet floor and fell down, the alcohol finally getting to him as he passed out.

**

The morning after was dreadful. Danny woke up with an awful headache and he groaned, hiding his face in the pillow. No way was he going to drink like that ever again, ever.

It was then that he heard the voices downstairs, recognizing Steve’s voice instantly as he talked to Danny’s mom. He heard the footsteps as Steve made his way up to Danny’s room, the door opening very slowly.

“Why’s everybody shouting?” Danny mumbled, making Steve chuckle as he sat down on the bed. “God, I’m so embarrassed about last night,” he continued.

“Well, no, y- you don’t have to be,” Steve answered carefully.

“It was awful, I behaved so badly. Oh, I feel sick even thinking about it.”

There was only silence for a few moments before Steve answered, but Danny didn’t notice it. “About... which part?”

“All of it. It never happened, okay? Steve, you can’t tell anyone.”

“.... right.” Steve said quietly, suddenly looking very busy with his hands.

“How did we even get home from the hospital?” Danny finally said, sitting up.

“My parents came to get us. And now they’re saying I’m a bad influence.”

“Well, you are,” Danny teased, smirking at him.

“Am not! Come here,” Steve shouted as he tackled Danny down on to the bed, and they tickled each other as their laughter filled up the room.

**

After that, life became almost normal again. Almost.

Steve had accepted the fact that Danny didn’t want to remember the kiss, decided to move on, no matter how difficult it was. He was just glad it hadn’t ruined their friendship. They’d been going on as normally as they could, even if Steve had to ignore the jealousy that flared up when he saw other people flirting with Danny. More often than not it was Rachel, a girl who went to their school who Steve didn’t like at all. That was the case at this very moment, the beach party they were at giving him very mixed feelings.

“Can you believe she invited me to the school dance?” Danny said, smiling as he sat down next to him, and Steve felt something turning in his stomach.

“Oh. Well, what did you tell her?” He asked, trying his best to sound like he didn’t care at all, busying himself with the stones on the beach.

“No, obviously. I’m going with you, you idiot,” Danny said, nudging his shoulder, which made Steve smile.

“Hi, Steve.” The voice above them made them both look up, Catherine towering over them, beautiful as always. She’d been hinting at Steve for a while now to ask her out, take her to the dance, and he thought maybe now he should. It might help with getting over Danny. “I missed you at the library today.”

“Uh, yeah, sorry about that, I’ve been very busy-”

“Don’t be a stranger, okay?” She smiled and her hair swung behind her as she walked away to sit with her friends.

“Wow, you’re awful at this,” Danny teased him, and they both chuckled.

“You know, she wants me to take her to the dance,” Steve said, testing the waters, seeing what kind of reaction it would get.

“Really?” They were quiet for a few moments, watching the sea, but Steve couldn’t read the expression on Danny’s face as he answered. “Well, take her. If it means that much to you.”

“But you would have no one to go with,” Steve tried.

“I got asked by the hottest girl in our year, Steve, I think I’m fine,” Danny said, the weird expression on his face gone as he smiled at him.

“What, so actually this is convenient for you?”

“Well, yeah.”

“Okay, well. I’ll go ask her then,” Steve said, standing up, walking over to where Catherine sat with her friends. He didn’t dare look back at Danny. This had to work, he hoped. Please let this work.

**

The night of the school dance was about what Danny had expected, and he couldn’t help but feel weird as he watched Steve dancing with Catherine. They hadn’t talked as much recently, but the news had spread pretty quickly over the school - Steve wasn’t a virgin anymore. Neither was Danny, to be honest, but it made Danny feel something he didn’t quite understand. To try and make the feeling go away, he pulled Rachel even closer to him.

Steve ended up driving Danny home. The girls had gone to the after party to have fun with their friends, but Danny hadn’t really wanted to go. Steve, always ready to drop everything to help him, had offered to keep him company and they had finally talked for a little while after the others left. Things felt much easier between them now, more like the old days. Currently they were stopped in front of Danny’s house, but he didn’t get out just yet. The comfortable silence felt nice after the awkwardness of the last few months.

“What if we just- got out of here?” Steve said after a minute, turning his head to watch Danny.

“I think one of those burger places might still be open-”

“No, I mean out of here. Like, to another country, maybe. Somewhere we can learn what we’ve always wanted to, where you could take hotel management courses, where I could go to a good medical school...”

Danny was taken aback, and he studied Steve’s face for a while before he answered. “You- are you serious?”

Steve nodded. “You’ve always wanted your own hotel, right? Danny, you’re amazing. There’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it.”

Danny felt the joy spreading in his chest and then he was nodding too, a huge grin lighting up his face.

**

After a lot of planning, convincing their parents that they were in fact going to be okay, finding the right schools, the only thing left was waiting for the acceptance letters. Boston University was Danny’s first choice, while Steve was going for a scholarship to Harvard. It had been a tough few months, but if it worked out it would all be worth it, he thought.

**

Dear Mr. Williams, congratulations. We are pleased to offer you a seat at Boston University.

**

I’m pregnant.

No matter how many times he read the text from Rachel, Danny didn’t know what to feel. So many emotions were flowing trough him that it was hard to focus on only one of them. What was he supposed to do now?

To be continued...

[ellena-asg]

McDanno in front of suspect's salad - every damn time:

• they have that Big Talk with a suspect but after every few sentences they feel a need to look at each other intensely

• a suspect sits in front of them and suddenly they feel a need to touch each other or they pretend they're arguing (cause it's sexy + it's a good excuse for some extra touching)

• they ask suspect about important things but after hearing the answer they suddenly have their goofy time together, they make jokes or just generally have fun, like "Hey, babe, do you remember how I threw that guy into a cage with sharks?"/"Oh yeah, hahahah"

• a suspect talks to them and they can hear/are focused but they're also so busy flirting with each other and/or are very very sweet to each other (say compliments f.e.) and all around is suddenly so sweet

• a suspect is still there (handcuffed or not yet) but these two dorks are now focused on their private life, like "Hey, how's Gracie?"/"Still sad that I couldn't watch that Barbie cartoon with her but I'm gonna make her the best pancakes ever so...". Or: "Ugh, my stomach!"/"Ha! I told you: don't eat this shit! But don't worry, babe. This time I WILL drive us to home and um, I'll give you a hot massage. I mean... I'll give your belly a hot massage, I, um, I will use hot stones!"

They usually talk about their Ohana and feelings (oh the episode where Steve comes back to Hawaii with Wo-Fat and Danny is like "Cargo pants! I knew it!" and "Steve. Did you miss me, babe? Ha?! Cause I missed you! Come on, hug me!" and Wo-Fat is like "WTF is happening here"). But it can be literally about everything: tickets for the game, medical appointment, shopping, weather...

• there's also this McDanno pose:

aka "We are Boyfriends, you know" ("Btw don't mess with us!")

I can't with our boys but especially with their suspects having the most confusing time of their life 😂 All these guys at first are like "Oh shit, cops!" and they expect some talking, all that serious police jazz, maybe some threatening but soon they all see and hear McDanno being McDanno and they're like "WTF? Are these cops serious? Is this some hidden camera show or what? Do they know they're at work and they should be professional? Do they remember about their suspect?!".

Suspect: Ahem. I'm still here, you know.

McDanno: *being McDanno*

Suspect: Hello? Officers? *Oh no, I'm like the air now, they don't see me* *Oh, fuck, they're doing this again! Come on men, it's too intimate, I don't feel comfortable you know. You need a room and I shouldn't be in that room with you, you get it?*

McDanno: *being McDanno*

Suspect: Excuse me! You should arrest me and take to your car or something like that, right? Right?! *oh mommy, I don't wanna stand here with them, invisible, forever!*

McDanno: *being McDanno*

Suspect: SOMEBODY TAKE ME TO THE JAIL! Pleeeease! *sob* HELP! HELP!

Oh and the episode where Steve and Danny played basketball with prisoners and prisoners were like "Yo, you're fucking married!"? Sure, they had eyes, they noticed it all. But I bet that they knew. They knew it before seeing our boys. All prisoners know - from other prisoners (guys booked by Danno and Steve). You go to jail = you hear about McDanno, they're legendary.

New prisoner: Hi everybody! I'm here cause I'm a serial killer. You can call me like you want but I prefer...

Other prisoners: Who caught you?

New prisoner: Um, cops.

Other prisoners: But who exactly?

New prisoner: Sorry, I don't remember their names. I only remember my sense of awkwardness... and that they called each other "babe". Huh, Small Romeo and Tall Romeo? Yeah, I know, shitty description is shitty and...

Other prisoners: *whispering and cursing* *but also shipping secretly* MCDANNO!!!

New prisoner: So... They do this in front of every...

Other prisoners: ALWAYS!

[merlin-wolfgang-trades-hale]

You got me thinking about McDanno spending the holidays with Danny's family and oh god, maybe when it's just Danny's parents and sisters and Grace, Charlie, Eric... Steve would be so happy helping Clara around the house and bonding with everybody and it makes my heart so happy! Why do I think Steve cooking with Danny's mom and getting to listen to all the stories she has to tell about her son to Steve is something I desperately need now?

Because it is! 

And yes, I can see it too actually!

Maybe the bigger family event was Christmas and the extra family members left after that, but Steve, Danny, Grace and even Eric don’t have to leave until the early days of January. So Steve’s going to be spending New Years with the Williams and it’s...so much easier. These are the people he knows. He’s either met or Danny’s talked enough about them that he feels like he knows them. 

Clara would love to have Steve in the kitchen. Steve knows his way around it but unlike Danny he follows orders better. And Clara’s very happy that Danny found himself some someone who knows how to cook. She tells him about the hows and whys Danny himself began his adventures in cooking...some of his best successes that encouraged her to try to get him to become an actual chef(which inspired his restaurant dreams) and some of his most epic fails. (Danny can be heard groaning from the living room, “Come on, Ma! He didn’t need to know that!” )

He’s also help Mr. Williams out with small remodeling things...ya know, fix that step on the stairs that always gets loose around Christmas time because of the foot traffic, help take down and store the bigger Christmas decorations, drive him to the Williams family favorite deli. 

Steve feels much more comfortable with this. They get asked about Hawaii, Eric asks Uncle D if he’s seen how they remodeled the old movie theater, they go out for a drive and for once Steve lets Danny drive because he knows where to go and he takes in all of the places that Danny grew up in. The urban jungle is a different territory but it helped make the man he loved, so he would appreciate it. 

Danny would totally take Steve to whatever equaled ‘Make-Out Point’ and they’d have some fun to whatever extent time allowed....after they carved “Danno & Steve 4Ever” in a heart on a tree~

My review of episode 9x07

It’s not easy to put into words all the thoughts in my mind and the feelings in my heart, most of all I think my poor words can’t express and honor the sheer perfection of the dream sequence set in the 1940s, a true masterpiece on every level: the performance of every single actor, the writing, the amazing soundtrack, the sets, the costumes… every single detail… I truly was in awe the whole time. I admire the talent of everyone who worked to bring this to us more than I can say.

What I loved the most about this long, perfectly conceived and delivered dream sequence was what it told us about Steve McGarrett. I’ve learned it’s not possible for me to say that I couldn’t love this character more than I already do, I’ve learned I grow to love him more episode by episode and this episode raised the bar so much. I’ll try to explain why. 

Steve’s subconscious could have chosen any day, but he chose December 6th 1941, the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the day his namesake grandfather lost his life… he absorbed Milton’s words about Steve McGarrett senior dreaming about being a detective, about the way December 7th 1941 changed everything… how things might have been if Steve hadn’t lost his life that day? And Steve dreamed about that, he kept his grandfather safe in his dream, far from the attack, far from death, still able to achieve his dream, still able to be a father to John McGarrett… and that’s the first image he sees when he starts to dream: a picture of his grandfather next to his grandmother, pregnant with John… in his dream, his grandfather gets to be a detective and a father, John gets to grow with his father. Just like in his drug induced hallucinations, in the 100th episode, John gets to live. This is Steve McGarrett, the man who would do anything to make the people he loves happy. And if he can’t do that in his life… he does that in his dreams.

Another scene that shows so perfectly who Steve McGarrett is and is, in my opinion, one of the greatest scenes of the whole show, is the one where he puts Layla’s picture (I hope I got the name right) in front of Chang Apana’s picture… see, Steve’s life has been riddled with unanswered questions, mysteries, lies… he knows well too much the value of the truth, the value of closure… so this need he felt to give closure to Chang Apana and all those who cared about Layla – Milton, his grandfather…  – it was so much like Steve. There was Steve’s heart in this scene.

What about that ending scene in the restaurant? I can say I feel it’s not the end, I feel like this storyline is far from over. I may be wrong, I don’t know, but it’s how I feel. I think it’s not the right moment, they rushed things, they’re not ready, there’s too much on their plate, too muck at stake… but there was this scene in Steve’s dream, the one where Steve senior and Milton ducked behind a car to protect themselves from the blast that reminded me (I don’t know if it was just a case, but it did) the scene in 7x18 where Steve told Danny for the first time that he wanted to be somehow part of the restaurant, and I can’t help thinking that the restaurant looks just like the one in Danny’s dream, the one where Grace and Will have their wedding reception, the one Steve and Danny will work while Captain Tani Rey and Junior Reigns run Five-0 as work and life partners… 

I think there’s a lot of truth in those dreams and I think that they’ll realize how right Steve was when he told Danny “I believe in you, I believe in us and that’s all that matters”. At this point in the future, they’ll realize it’s really the only thing that matters. Right now, I think they panicked… sometimes it happens, even with things that can make you happy. And I think that everyone who loves McDanno like I do can see the parallel with their relationship. 

While hoping so much more for the future and not denying I was taken aback by this turn of things, I think it was the right choice… there were too many hurdles, too many fights, and that means it wasn’t the right moment… maybe the right moment will come, I hope that so much… right now I’m happy with the way this change happened, I’m happy because of Danny’s “if you’re out, I’m out”… that is also a “if you’re in, I’m in”. 

That’s the way they do things: together. As long as they’re together, as long as they need to be together and can’t even conceive the idea of not being together, I’m happy. I’ll just be here, watching their relationship evolve, because that’s what they’ll do, that’s for sure: they’ll move forward, and they’ll do it together.

Thinking about this episode being the 200th one makes me feel proud, excited, happy, grateful… it even moves me, am I being silly? Since 2010 it holds such a special place in my heart and that feeling grows stronger season by season, episode by episode. 

There are TV shows and then there’s Hawaii Five-0. Its heart and soul makes it different from every other show, unique, magic. 

Thank you to the writers, the actors, everybody who works to give us this. Thank you so much and my very best wishes for the future, because I’m sure much more success and wonders will come: ad maiora semper, to greater things, always.

OTP Questions:  Rick/T.C.

So, I want to write Rick/T.C., but I don’t have a very good handle on them, especially T.C.  So, I pulled some questions from Pinterest to help get me going.  Feel free to reblog/copy, or to ask me them for McDanno, McDalton, Rick/Magnum, or Magnum/Katsumoto.  Questions first, then answers.

1.  Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?

2.  Who reaches for the other one’s hand while driving.

3.  Who gets the window seat?

4.  Who leaves little notes in the other one’s lunch?  (Bonus:  what do they say?)

5.  Who wakes up first?

6.  Who falls asleep while watching a movie?

7.  Who’s prone to wearing socks indoors (or to sleep)?

8.  Who has bigger cravings?

9.  Who reminds the other one to put on sunscreen before going to the beach (or pool)?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Answers:

1.  They both do, but Rick’s more likely to do the ordering.  He’s the more outgoing one, and he’s the one who likes to take care of everybody.  T.C. really doesn’t like interacting with people, and he likes being taken care of, so he lets Rick.

2.  T.C. usually drives.  He’s the type to keep both hands on the wheel, because he knows how important being able to react in an instant is.  He loves touch, though, and Rick knows it, so he’s frequently reach over and put his hand on T.C.’s knee.

3.  They actually fight for the aisle seat.  After their experiences in the military, neither wants to be trapped with no way out.  If they can, they’ll get seats across the aisle from each other so they can still talk.  If one of them has to sit by the window, it’s usually T.C. because he usually lets Rick get what he wants.  Besides, T.C secretly loves to look out the window at the ground below; that’s why he’s a chopper pilot and why he gives helicopter tours--he loves seeing the gorgeous scenery from the air and sharing his love with others.

5.  Usually, T.C.  Rick likes to sleep in when he can--with the club, he’s more of a night owl.  T,C. kept the early rising habit from the military, and he likes the early morning to get his bird ready for the day.  However, Rick will usually wake up when T.C. because he’s a light sleeper.  T.C. will give him a few kisses before going on with his day.  With any luck, though, he can go back to sleep.

6.  Usually, T.C.  he can take or leave movies, but Rick loves them.  They’ll watch action flicks, but not military.  Sometimes, though, they’ll go for super happy and fluffy and watch a Disney Pixar or animated.  They both love them.  Rick’s not afraid to admit it, but it’s a guilty pleasure for T.C.

7.  Rick eschews socks at all costs--they’re not fashionable.  T.C.’s been known to actually wear them outside the house, much to Rick’s horror.  Both their feet get cold, but Rick would rather freeze than wear socks; T.C. puts them on and complains about Rick’s feet in bed.  Rick will, however, occasionally put them on to slide down the hall, much to T.C.’s amusement.

8.  Rick.  And he’s very vocal about them.  He’ll bug T.C. until T.C. indulges them.  T.C’s more quiet.  He’s likely to just go indulge them himself, or turn the car towards where he wants to go over Rick’s protests.  Rick really doesn’t mind, though.

9.  Rick because “you may be black, but you can still get skin cancer”.  Rick knows he’ll burn to a crisp in five seconds flat, so he’s very meticulous.  He gets upset at Magnum, too.  Secretly, he’s jealous of their dark skin because he turns into a lobster.

can you please rec me McDanno fics where the team finds out/catches them

I can’t think of any fics where the team finding out about their relationship is the primary focus, but here’s some where there’s at least a good scene or the team is involved with their getting together:

*Note: Heed any warning tags

It’s Raining Danny’s Emotions by GeckoGirl89 - "You’re like a cloud, a dark cloud that never goes away.“ (Danny Williams, episode 4.20)(a.k.a. the one where Danny screws up Hawaii’s weather because he’s in love with Steve)

A Study in Touch by VictoriaAGrey - After a contentious therapy session, Steve and Danny are given an unusual homework assignment: every day they are together, they have to reach out and touch each other three times. Danny seems fine with it, but Steve starts to unravel under the constant onslaught of affection.Lucky for Steve, his ohana is more than happy to see him through.

The Devil You Know by Erandri - A simple murder should be an easy case for Five-0 to solve after the events with Dr. Gray, but when their murder turns out to be linked to two more similar murders their simple case gets complicated. When after weeks the team gets no leads, Steve is put under pressure from Governor Mahoe and is forced to call upon Alicia Brown to help profile their killer. Alicia is all too willing to help the team but Danny is suspicious whether her motivation is that she wants to help or if she wants to get in between his and Steve’s new relationship. Things get more complicated when Danny starts losing periods of time and waking up with memories of murdering each of their victims. As Danny slowly starts to pull away from everybody, the team discovers that not everything is as it seems with this case.

What Took You So Long by Indehed - He leaned his forehead to Danny’s and pulled back just enough to open his eyes. Danny reacted slower, a hand running down to hold lightly at Steve’s elbow.
