Hawaii 5-0 Video Rec- List..

I already did my 3 top fics, now I'm doing my top 10 fanvids...

Enjoy!

Super whumpy and Steve looks so HOT in this🔥

I love this one so much!! That's all I can say.

A more platonic mcdanno video it is so good and really shows their brotherhood

I love this song and it fits Danny so well. Watch it that's all I can say...

Love this song for Steve and as always apanparapenguin has the best editing skills ever.

Such a beautiful tribute to the team, the song is so perfect.

"I got some people they would die for me, we ride together they're my family"

This song had been used for so many fan-edits across many fandoms and it always holds up.

"So darling, darling stand by me cause you're all I need" ❤

PLEASE WATCH THIS!!

It is so funny and actually touches on a bunch of topics people have disscused in the fandom like Steve's "betrayal" by Danny with Rachel. And many many more

Such a cute little video, I believe it is set in a AU world but it is so sweet and well done.

[nobigsecrets]

So tumblr tells me I created this post on Jan 1, 2022 and apparently, I’ve gone from monthly rec lists to not even one per year. I’m sorry for that. But in honor of Steve’s birthday I’m posting it today and before it gathers even more dust in my drafts. This list includes some gems from the early days of the show since I went all the way back to page 851 on AO3 when I started my rewatch at the beginnging of 2022. Happy reading! :)

Captain America and the Angel of Death by @missslothy Rating: M, Words: 29,360 The State of Hawaii welcomes the rare people in the world who have magical, supernatural abilities - people like Steve and Danny.  But sometimes people come to the islands who aren't so tolerant. People who are looking to make trouble... When Danny and Steve find themselves outed on social media, they have to fight to protect their reputations, their Ohana and even their lives.  And who is targeting Steve and Danny and why?

See the truth; and you will see me by ellievolia Rating: G, Words: 1,105 Because Steve is sitting on a chair - looks like a dentist’s one, which is not warming Danny’s heart at all - getting his forearm tattooed, right there next to the curve of his elbow. Danny can’t help but think for a second that it has to be an act of rebellion against something Steve is not really a part of anymore.

One Foot on the Third Rail (and One on a Banana Peel) by Taz Rating: T, Words: 3,250 Danny has an acute reaction to an over the counter cold remedy.

Boxing Day by klutzy34 Rating: T, Words: 1,711 Steve can't help but watch the way Danny moves.

Both Sides of the Rainbow by ariadnes_string Rating: G, Words: 4,343 “Seriously?” Kono couldn’t tell whether blood loss was making her loopy, or whether things really had gotten that absurd.  “Are they seriously arguing about who’s going to rescue me like I’m some kind of Disney princess?”

Morning at sea by ariadnes_string Rating: G, Words: 1,704 Everyone’s had one of those mornings when they can’t get out of bed, right?

Relief by MDJensen Rating: T, Words: n/a After rescuing the bus full of kids, Steve needs to freak out a little. He does so, in a very early-seasons-Steve way. Set post 2x11.

Better Than Socks by JaneDavitt Rating: M, Words: 1,109 Danny and Steve get drunk and share a wishlist on Christmas Eve. Blow jobs seem popular.

Sleepwalking by JaneDavitt Rating: M, Words: 3,769 Things between Steve and Danny come to a head on a night when both of them are dead on their feet.

You Can't Carry it with You (If You Want to Survive) by dogeared Rating: T, Words: 884 "Why do you have to be so crazy all the time, that's what I want to know."

From This Day Forward by annieke Rating: T, Words: 1,700 The end of the night brings a little clearer realization to Danny and Steve. (Coda to 3x06)

Direction by waldorph Rating: E, Words: 1,124 You know how in 105 Steve was really good at taking direction?  Danny noticed.

How to Keep Your Mouth Shut by primetime Rating: E, Words: 10,072 Danny’s sometimes gay. Gay, sometimes. Does dudes. He doesn’t know how to say it right. He doesn’t know how to say it at all.

Wedding Bells by glorious_spoon Rating: G, Words: 1,814 Danny leans against the door frame, rubs a hand over his face, and says, “Grace thinks we should get married.” “Okay,” Steve says easily, pulling the fridge open. “You want breakfast?”

Choose Your Friends by McParrot Rating: T, Words: 1,421 The look on Steve's face is breaking Danny's heart. (Coda to 1x07)

Dug Deep by tari_roo Rating: G, Words: 1,792 After the adrenaline rush is over, even will power can't keep Steve from crashing.

Manhunt by @goneahead Rating: T, Words: 14,760 Steve is a space-weary SEAL, Danny is a retired cop who's raising his daughter on a quiet backwater planet. When Steve tracks a wanted fugitive to Jer-C II, he's expecting it to be just another job--until he meets Danny and Grace. Yep, the space meet-cute nobody asked for.

A man in uniform by Bluespirit Rating: E, Words: 679 Danny has a thing for Steve's dress uniform.

Ma Ke Kahakai by Longboard_Chris Rating: E, Words: 1,150 Four deleted scenes from Episode 1x20 (where Steve and Danny go hiking) that will NOT be included in the boxed set of Season 1.

Buzz Cut by shinysylver Rating: E, Words; 1,243 Danny misses the curls, but he'll miss Steve more.

Never Say Never by mohinikapuahi Rating: E, Words: 619 Nobody ever said Doris was the shy retiring type.

Shades of Blue by ThatwasJustaDream Rating: E, Words: 1,336 Steve noticed the Camaro parked near his driveway, and knew Danny had let himself in while he was gone.  But he expected to find him down by the water, so the sound of footsteps upstairs was strange.

Detour by MidnightThoughts Rating: E, Words: 1,189 A missing scene from episode 3 of season 1, in which Steve actually does take Danny on the detour he wanted.

Feeback Fest 2024: H50 Fic Recs

For International Fanworks Day, February 15 (for more information see this post by @transformativeworks)

Thank you, babe @stephmcx because of your great fic rec list I noticed this amazing Fic Rec Day! I'm not often on Tumblr anymore scrolling and discovering interesting things and I miss the interaction with other fandom folks. And here you are, posting a great fic rec list of the most epic OTP ever: Steve and Danny.

I have my McDanno 'go-to' fics I love dearly but for this list I put together a different number of McDanno stories from my bookmarks. I hope some of you haven't read them already. Maybe there's a chance you find an unknown great McDanno story. All of my recommanded stories always act like a large safety net of love I let myself fall into when I need those special, unique, and most magic McDanno vibes.

1.Blue Shorts and Gloves by WeirdoOfTheCentury - Summary: Danny... well Danny is Danny. Stella is a protective Sister and both Steve and herself wanna commit a crime when it comes to Danno. @shadowhunterdownworlderhybrid

2.Touch My World With Your Fingertips by kristen999 - Summary: Danny has plans for Steve when he returns home from his reserve drill.

3.More Than Words, Part One by Candy_A - Summary: The first chapter in a series based on the events that follow Danny's rescue from Colombia (Episode 5.17). In this installment, Danny returns to Hawaii and he and Steve begin to cope with the reality of Danny's ordeal there. (Nine parts belong to this outstanding series)

4.See You Tomorrow by bgharison - Summary: "When we were leaving the office, I said, ‘see you tomorrow’ to Chin and Kono, and they said, ‘yeah, see you tomorrow'. I said, ‘see you tomorrow’ to you, and you said, ‘goodnight’, And 'goodnight' sounded like 'goodbye', okay?""I wasn't saying goodbye," he said, finally. But he kept his eyes fixed on the water.

5.Why don't you try me? by azziria - Summary: Steve and Danny both want the same thing, they just don't know it yet.

6.Back To Back (They Faced Each Other) by harrycrewe - Summary: Danny didn’t even realize that Steve was a sentinel when they first met. That probably said a lot right there about what kind of a guide Danny was.

7.Like Death and Taxes by ariadnes_string - Summary: "One of these days," Steve growled, voice low and rough and filthy, "I'm gonna rip this thing off you and gag you with it." (That's my very first McDanno fanfic I read.)

8.Moments In The Skript by joannereads - Summary: Hello all! So, over the last few years I have dreamed of a few scenarios before, during and after the events of The Script. I wanted to add to it, but never found the time, so now I'm making a point of doing it. I'll add to this as and when I have time or the muse is singing. Some of the stories will be teen and up, some explicit. Hope you enjoy! (RPF)

9.Close To Me by joannereads - Summary: Danny Williams is 17. Steve McGarrett is 26. They all live in Hawaii. And their lives are about to get really, really messy. Because Steve? Steve's his brother's best friend.

10.Sock Monkey by Cattraine - Summary: He’s late; he’s running late when the call comes in. One minute he’s sitting at a traffic light on a perfect day on his way to work, bemoaning his lack of coffee and the next he’s screeching the Camaro’s tires towards the accident, heart pounding, keeping perfect time with the chant in his head. No, no, no. It can’t be.

[itwoodbeprefect]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 🤍

thank you!! ❤ sooo @actingcamplibrarian also sent me this one, and i'm going to take this opportunity to cheat (shamelessly!) and just. give another five fics. because there are more than ten of them on ao3, and because i can.

so again (mhuahaha), from five different fandoms, in no particular order:

-

Silly wrong but vivid right [sga, john/rodney]

i adore this now, but i went through a weird thing while writing it where i really loved the first half, and then i had to end it somehow and i came up with something that i didn't like very much, and i ended up posting it anyway because i still liked the first half a lot and felt it deserved to see the light of day. which is interesting to me because when i reread it now it doesn't feel wildly out of balance at all, and it all fits just fine, and i just still really really like the idea of 1) gay john getting some freedom and actually taking it, 2) rodney on the sidelines having Weird Feelings about it and drawing a very wrong conclusion, and 3) both of them still being idiots, at the end of the day.

-

Tell me the sky is falling now [starsky/hutch]

i like the way i opened this! and the way it ended too, and nearly all of what's in the middle. most of all though i like starsky Finding Out and being confused and maybe trying to freak out but hutch is right there, and he loves hutch, and he doesn't want to freak hutch out, and then he comes to some other conclusions, because it's hutch, and he's starsky, and that's the important part. this is one of those fics that i keep sort of almost rewriting in the sense that i have very similar ideas for a story and then have to try to figure out how to bend that new idea into a shape that's at least slightly unique so i don't actually end up writing a pale imitation of this one.

-

Cause if we’re all gonna die (Now’s the time to be alive) [h50, steve/danny]

in terms of my h50 fic this is definitely on the older side, but i still firmly stand by the headcanon behind this, i like that it has a good dosis of team banter, and it has some lines that i think of fondly from time to time, like this: He tumbles until he’s kissing Danny, awkwardly boxing Danny and his soft heat in against the cold and rough wall, not quite sure yet if this big bang is a creation myth or a mass extinction event. and, of course, taking the sappiness a step further still: Everything that comes after this point in time will forever be witnessed by eyes that have to send images off to be processed in a brain that also stores the memory of this kiss, which logically and inescapably prevents anything from ever being experienced the same as before.

-

Coming Up Aces [911, eddie/buck]

i don't know if i'd call this one a favorite writing-wise (at least overall - there are definitely parts that i do really like), but it does rank on a list of favorite fics i've written in the sense that, just. the way people connect with fic like this means something to me. and one of the things it means is that there should be more ace rep in (mainstream) media so people don't have to have these huge epiphany-like moments only while reading fic, but another is just feelings, big and warm and human.

-

Abandon your sad history (and meet me in the fire) [top gun, iceman/maverick]

top gun is A Movie, for sure, and i'd been trying to write some fic for it for a while when this finally came together. i loved playing with identities here, and the extended metaphors pretty much wrote themselves (iceman!), and every time i reread it and come to the line that mentions iceman is drinking an old fashioned while trying to fend off maverick's very queer advances i give myself a little pat on the back for subtle jokes.

[nubianamy]

Top 10 of my fic

Thank you @beshrew-my-very-heart for tagging me in this. I love hearing you talk about your work, and our collab work is very dear to my heart.

Rules: List your "top 10" (or up to 10 if you haven't written that many) fics ranked by kudos on AO3. Are you surprised by what's most popular to your readers? Then, under a cut, provide your ranking of your personal top 10 fics (with explanations if you want!), and then tag a few fellow writers.

Top 10 AO3 fics according to kudos (out of 166 total works):

Only Held By Gravity (Teen Wolf Stanny soulmates, 939 kudos)

Fasten You to Me (Teen Wolf Sterek fantasy, 852 kudos)

Glasses, Coins, and Golden Rings (Teen Wolf Sterek historical fiction AU, 549 kudos)

We Might As Well Close Our Eyes (Glee Fuckurt teen BDSM, 447 kudos)

Until It Hits You In the Teeth (sequel to Only Held By Gravity, but with more polyamory, 380 kudos)

Those Magic Changes My Heart Arranges (Glee Puckurt teen theater series, part 1)

Searching For Words (Hawaii 5-0 McDanno one-shot, 275 kudos)

Emergence (Teen Wolf Allison/Stiles/Scott horror, 269 kudos)

Time in a Tapestry (Glee Puckurt what-if, 229 kudos)

Glitter on the Front Porch (Glee Puckurt-to-Fuckurt fluff part 1, 217 kudos)

I am not at all surprised that my Teen Wolf stories top the list, because that fandom is ridiculously loyal—but check it out, #1 is a RAREPAIR, Danny/Stiles!

I will say technically #2, a Sterek fantasy oneshot, has had more kudos because it was taken down in 2015 for including quotes of too many Beatles lyrics. The podfic also has its own following!

I am very proud of #3, set during the Civil War; that was a big stretch, but a fun one to write.

#4 is our first Glee story, and that's a collab with someone who's even more prolific than I am (and a much better writer).

#5 is the sequel to #1 but was only recently completed.

#6, another Glee story, is the first in a trilogy I'm very proud of, with lots of theater references and canon compliance for most of the story.

#7 is my first McDanno fic, but really hit a chord in the H50 fandom. I worked very hard to get Danny's character voice right, and it was satisfying to know I was able to achieve that.

#8 is another Teen Wolf rarepair, this time with a real horror backdrop, and that was also a good challenge for me, as I love horror fiction but had never written it.

#9 is a collab with one of my dearest friends and cowriters, @knittycat99. We always meant to continue writing the next part of the story, but life does intervene!

#10 is the first in a very adorable Puckurt fluff series.

Read under the cut for my recs!

10 of my fics I wish people would read:

The French Drop is based on the heist film Sneakers from 1992. It stars Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley. God, I love this movie, and I absolutely had to write this story, because they needed a happy ending, or as close to a happy ending as I could give them.

Auld Acquaintance is a collaborative D/s Puckurt written by myself and @beshrew-my-very-heart. It was a challenge to ourselves to see if we could write something short and complete, and we did! (Of course, we are now writing the much, much longer sequels.)

Dancing Through the Same Noise is a Glee Puckurt-to-Fuckurt patterned after an episode of How I Met Your Mother. It started light and funny and quickly got very serious. It has the advantage of having beautiful art (it was so beautiful that I purchased the original watercolored pen-and-ink sketch from the artist and had it shipped across the world to me).

So Tyrannous and Rough in Proof and A Trivial Comedy for Serious People are parts #2 and #3 of the These Magic Changes Puckurt series. I finished the series fairly recently, but I hope more Glee readers will go back and reread the whole thing, because I think it really hangs together very well.

Blue Rubber Band is a Puck-focused Puckurt AU one-shot based on a Regina Spektor song. It's about drug addiction and homelessnes, but is ultimately a hopeful story. There is also a podfic.

Gold Mine is a Glee Dave/Puck what-if story that is unbelievably sweet, sexy, and romantic—and monogamous and vanilla! I am really fond of it, mostly because canon totally supports this pairing and I think they would have been great together.

While We Got the Chance to Say is part of the enormous Glee Donutverse, but I think can be read as a stand-alone pretty well. It's a BDSM-flavored polyam love story focusing on Kurt and Adam Lambert (no, not Elliott Gilbert!). If you've ever wondered about the Donutverse and you would like to give it a try, this is a very glittery introduction.

Family First is a Glee Kurtofsky futurefic one-shot which I wrote during the two days of the 2020 election. It does deal with cancer and contains minor character death, but Dave's character arc centers around his friendship with Finn and the whole Hudson-Hummel family.

the soul slakes its thirst in fearless draught is a Finn/Dave/Kurt futurefic patterned after Cyrano DeBergerac. It is very romantic, with a smutty followup chapter.

Lucky Connection is a Dave/Finn story based on a Hallmark movie, so you can imagine just how sweet and romantic it is. There is zero smut, but a happy ending.

BONUS: the only fanvid I have ever made was completed a few weeks before Cory Monteith's untimely passing, so it is somewhat bittersweet, but I am still very proud of it.

I will tag @pterawaters, @knittycat99, and @flinchflower, but if you are a fanfic writer, consider yourself tagged too!

[mayberrycryptid]

I dont think I have seen a rec list, but the A03 tag to find the fix it fics is and there is lots and lots of good fics:

also also we are doing a rewatch party tommorow and we would ♥️ to have you join us if you haz time!!!!

Ha ha haaa *gnashing of teeth* Since I stopped watching Hawaii 5-0 at circa season 7 (I was getting fed up with the plots) I never actually got around to watch the final season. I read fics now & then so it's not like I didn't know the end. But actually watching it? Once upon a time I liked Catherine but they butchered that character so bad that it left a bad taste. And then to end it like that? It's like, McGarrett characterization where? The one who got away? She dumped his ass, multiple times. I'm like how is that seen as a good end for your major character? But of course, after having Steve hold a bleeding Danny, then hold his hand & even say I love you we of course had to have blatant heterosexuality at the end. But still... I'm like steaming of 3 years late rage. How did H-50 fen survive it without making target practice out of Lenkov?

[piratefalls]

It’s been a while! I’m not back in the fandom, but @soiknowwhentoduck​ posted a request for someone for fluff/domestic fics, and I came to deliver. I also have a fics that make me laugh and a starter pack list, as well as all my mcdanno tags here. LEGGO.

I’ll Find My Way ‘Cause It’s Love Real Simple by Finduilas

Steve asks Danny to move in with him. 

All the Way by VictoriaAGrey

Danny has lost count of how many times he and Steve have used the sexual tension between them for undercover work, only for it to be bottled away after the op is over. With Saint Michael as his witness, that ends tonight.

the blind side by withoutwords

Kono’s set him up with a haole.

It’s the first thing Steve thinks when he claps eyes on the guy. He’s wearing a tie, he has more product in his hair than Steve has in his whole house - he has an accent. Rich, and sharp and almost comical, the way he broadcasts it to the whole room.

“I guess Kono didn’t tell you I have kids.”

Steve doesn’t choke on his beer, but it’s a close thing. He coughs. “Uh, no. No she didn’t.”

Ratios, Decimals, and Percentages by fuchs

In which Steve takes an internet quiz and slowly loses his mind. Danny's okay with it.

The Wedding March by sheafrotherdon, thegrrrl2002

It's Kono and Adam's wedding, after all, and Danny's not going to spend it staring at Steve's ass.

an officer, a gentleman by Siria

At first, Danny didn't think he heard quite right.

Break the Lock if It Don’t Fit (or, Two Members of Five-O Conduct an Experiment in Domesticity) by austen

Going from partners to roommates seems like the most natural step for Steve and Danny to take - but it doesn't come without some complications.

Waking up in Oahu by paradis

“Danny,” Steve frowns, “That vein popping out in your forehead can’t be good.”

“You,” Danny swallows, “Don’t even,” he points his finger, ever-present, and motions for him to sit down, “All your fault, I swear to God. I don’t know how, I don’t know why. But it’s all your fault.”

Moving In (To Every Aspect of Danny’s Life, Including the Boring Bits like Dry Cleaning) by westgirl

It felt wrong for Steve to sound unsure of his place in Danny’s life. His place in Danny’s life was at Danny’s side, driving him slowly insane. Steve should feel secure about that.

Safe at Anchor by withoutwords

Act normal, Danny thinks, which is stupid because he gave up normal with HPD and the ties and the keys to his car. He gave up normal with his complete and utter dependency on a man who thinks Loco Moco is a legitimate food choice. Danny’s not sure what normal is any more, not even his normal, because he just kissed Steve.

The Taper Phase by popfly

It’s like being run over by an armored car, like the impact of gunshot to tac vest. The pride Danny feels for his daughter and something else, something about Steve’s tank top sticking to his stomach, the way his shorts stretch across his thighs. The goofy grin that lights up Steve’s face when he sees Danny and Charlie, waving one hand while he nudges Grace with the other.

To sleep, perchance to dream by sirona

The one where Danny can't sleep without Steve. It's Grace's birthday, and all she wants is for the Five-0 team to take her camping. Cliche showcased: enforced bed sharing.

That’s Not Just Friendship, That’s Romance by thismuchmore

Danny and Steve start out accidentally dating each other, and it turns into something more.

Curiosity Didn’t Kill This Cat by unadrift

"I'm confused," Rachel says. "Are you two dating or not?" Danny sighs. "You remember that thing with the cat in the box? The one that's both dead and alive?" "Schroedinger's cat?" "It's kind of like that." "Okay," Rachel says. She clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

I Will Follow You With My Whole Life by AndreaLyn

Steve had promised to keep Danny from doing anything stupid while in Las Vegas. Danny should've gotten that in writing.

God Forbid, Feelings by thewhiterose3

A series of fics, mostly one shots, surrounding Steve and Danny's burgeoning relationship. A real, functioning relationship where they talk about things like, horror of all horrors, feelings.

Taxpayer Popcorn, or How To Catch Up In One Easy Step by sheafrotherdon

Steve and Danny sharing a bed and catching a clue

Love’s a Battlefield (and the Navy Did Not Train Steve for This Shit) by cyerus

The Kalakaua-Kelly clan are determined to matchmake Steve. Out of desperation, Steve makes up a boyfriend named Danny.

It doesn't quite go according to plan.

The Care and Feeding of Recalcitrant Partners by james

Danny has an ulcer and gets married. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Lonely People Do Stupid Things by waketosleep

Danny decides to show Steve the true meaning of Christmas, and does it by dragging him to New Jersey.

Four Times Nobody Noticed It Was a Date, and One Time There Wasn’t Any Doubt by t_fic

Sometimes, things sneak up on you.

Aloha Aku No, Aloha Mai No by queenklu

“—so Gracie puts this flower in my hair and she tells me I look pretty and if I love her I’ll wear it all day, and I think, Great, I think, Greatness, because this is my day off and no way would Steve McGarrett show up at my door on my day off, right, Steven?”

*Note: many of these authors also have other fics, so I just tried to include something from everyone. Feel free to go through their other works for more fluff and humor!

[mcdanno-love-marvey]

MCDANNO FIC REC LIST

okay so here’s a whole lot of fics, i tried to get a mixture in so i hope you enjoy xo

SENTINEL/GUIDE FICS

Care and Feeding of Lieutenant Commander Steven J. McGarrett by darkmoore 

[It took a parking garage falling onto Steve's head to bring out the Sentinel in him. It took Steve coming online for Danny to be able to claim his place as a Guide. But things are never as easy as they appear to be.]

Sensory Overload by darkmoore 

[Steve goes in sensory overload, Danny thinks he can't help and Catherine is about to lose her temper with these two stubborn idiots. Sentinel and Guide relations at their best ... ]

Everything He Wanted by Brumeier 

[Danny was a Guide who thought he could never bond, until he was called in to help a Sentinel in distress. And then everything changed.]

You’ve Got The Best Ass by Alliemackenzie28

[Danny is a Guide, but he's having trouble finding a match.]

Back To Back (They Faced Each Other) by harrycrewe

[Danny didn’t even realize that Steve was a sentinel when they first met. That probably said a lot right there about what kind of a guide Danny was.]

Sentinel And Guide by Elayna

[Every fandom needs a couple of Sentinel-fusion rewrites of the first episode, right? This is mine. I've only seen two episodes of The Sentinel, so this is my take on Sentinel fanon as generally found in Sentinel/SG:A fusions. I won't even pretend it's faithful to Sentinel canon, though I tried to not drift too far from H5-0 canon.]

DIFFERENT JOBS AU

Happiness is Homemade by ellievolia and sirona

[It's not easy, running a Jersey-style bakery in Hawai'i. Things get a little easier (and a whole lot more fun) once Danny meets Chin and Kono's friend, the one who enjoys leaning against his glass cases despite all of Danny's dire warnings, and starts food fights for no reason whatsoever.]

A Fielder’s Choice by Carryokee

 long af summary but basically the boys are baseball players

Ten Sessions by Leslie_Knope

[In which Danny hurts his knee, Steve is a physical therapist, and their worlds collide.]

A Jug Of Wine, A Trebuchet, and Thou by Siria

[In which Steve and Danny are medieval history professors.]

it's not what you're sure of (it's what you don't know) by somehowunbroken

[Art thief Steve McGarrett and his team come up against FBI Special Agent Danny Williams, and things spin wildly out of control from there.]

UNDERCOVER FICS

Beneath The Trident by kristen999  [Steve and Danny go undercover to investigate the death of a SEAL before a sensitive joint Special Forces’ operation. With Steve as the SEALs' new team leader and Danny as the reporter assigned to shadow him, Danny finally gets to see the hidden depths of the real Lt. Commander McGarrett.]

All The Way by VictoriaAGrey

[Danny has lost count of how many times he and Steve have used the sexual tension between them for undercover work, only for it to be bottled away after the op is over. With Saint Michael as his witness, that ends tonight.]

Ever Since I Met You by mymcdanno

[Written for forgetmenotswhynot on Tumblr, who asked for a day in the life of McDanno.]

 SOULMATE AU

Simple Facts by kurikuri  [“You don’t want a soulmate,” Steve says, like it’s a fact of life: the sky is blue, his Glock holds twenty-two rounds, and Danny Williams does not want a soulmate.]

A Marked Interest by Chimera01

long af summary but basically Danny ignores his soulmark and he really really should not have

Hit Me With Your Best by Liu 

[In hindsight, Danny blames it all on the adrenaline. Since the moment he first looks (and draws a weapon) at McGarrett, his life is a constant swirl of one near-death experience after another, and the adrenaline, sloshing through his veins due to the neverending panic, is absolutely the reason why it takes him a year to realize he’s found his soulmate.]

Uhane Hoa by Amboseus 

In a world where people have a mark on their body leading them to their soul mate, Danny is not believing it at all. Ignoring his own mark he lives not thinking about it, until a certain Seal just had to destroy his plans (as always). [Available now from Steve's POV.]

The Boy With The Hibiscus Soul Mark by GeckoGirl89

[When he's a child, Danny frowns every time he looked at the soul mark on his arm. It's some kind of fancy pink flower, painted onto his skin with precise detailing, that Danny doesn't recognize. It would actually make a very nice tattoo. For a girl.]

 KID FICS

If You Ever Need Me I’ll Be There by conformityissuicide

[Steve and Danny didn't realize how much they relied on each other. It took months of support and the innocent insights of their two little girls to realize just how much they needed each other.]

JEALOUS FICS

You Changed My World by mymcdanno

ASSUMED/FAKE DEATH FICS

OTHER FICS – mainly just cute af

Unfair by mymcdanno 

[Written for earthdragon1 on Tumblr, who asked: "I'm a sucker for Emotional!Danny Whump. I'd love to read something where Steve maybe shoots his mouth off then realizes later Danny was really *really* hurt by it, like maybe even cried because of it, and then he kinda falls all over himself trying in his Steve-way to make it up to him."]

Home is Just Another Word For You by morganoconner [It's not that Danny misses his partner; that would be ridiculous. Maybe it's just heartburn.]

MARRIAGE FOR CONVENIENCE

hoʻokāne by Siria 

[As active as Danny's imagination was, however, as strong as all his fears could be at the thoughts of his little girl being taken away from him again, he'd forgotten to factor in one very important element: Steve.]

 PRE-SLASH

Overwhelmed by dawnchsr

[Coda to episode 2.15- Danny and Steve have to come to grips with what happened in the wake of Grace's kidnapping. Note: Pre-slash Steve/Danny] so they don’t get together in this one but it’s one of my fave ever mcdanno fics – warning it contains super sad Danny.

Top 10 McDanno moments

oh dude, making an actual list like that would take me a day, because i’m Very Bad at picking favorites and also because there’s like, literally ten seasons’ worth of moments to choose from in the first place.

a few strong contenders off the top of my head, though, in no particular order:

d: “what’s the matter with you?” / s: “i love you.” for the fact that it’s a) still a totally insane sequence of words, b) one of their three mutual i love yous on screen, which is good anyway, and c) wonderful pining steve material, as well as just, potentially the most honest reflection on their relationship from steve’s side that we ever got

pretty much the entire episode where they transport that nuclear bomb through the jungle. steve’s snooping, the first scene where they have their relationship argument in front of an entire class of innocent academy students, the “are you comparing our relationship to my failed marriage?”, the bit where danny tells steve not to say anything and steve sneaks in an i love you anyway, the bit where steve calls danny a beloved curmudgeon, when they’re squeezed under the truck together, when steve asks danny to name his friggin’ restaurant for him and rambles about being together even when they’re not together (restaurants and boats, if you name them after a person people are absolutely going to assume it’s your spouse), That Look steve throws at danny through the window at the very end of the episode.

when danny tells steve he’s a half-baked cookie and goes “that’s why i love you, babe”, because it’s just. it’s a lot.

actually, the first time steve says he loves danny, when they’re trapped under that building! danny’s been nothing but incredibly negative and he builds this huge tension before telling steve he really really hates him and steve just laughs along and goes “i love you too” because he does and he knows danny, and then once they’re finally out steve waits until danny says it back.

“you don’t have to dance with me tonight” while they’re sitting unnecessarily close together during max’s going away party, purely for the fact that i was so convinced i must have heard that wrong the first time i watched it that i went back three times. it was still the same. i still don’t know how that made it into the episode.

when danny talks about coming into work one day and seeing your partner in a different light, and he goes “know what i mean?” and steve is all quiet and says “i do”. also when steve keeps offering to go everywhere with danny that episode while danny confides in him. the episode in which danny says he once fell for his partner after he had spent every day with her and she was the only person he confided in. that episode.

season 10, maybe just, uh, in its entirety. sunshine, emotional support friend, danny being the person everyone goes to if they’re worried about steve, bad guys knowing to target danny if they want to hit steve where it hurts, moving in, sharing beds, parent-teacher meetings, the extremely half-hearted attempts at dating other people, valentine’s day cuddles, “it’s kinda like his love language for me” - season 10 truly has it all.

steve and danny somehow encounter the very tired “it’s adam and eve, not adam and steve” slogan (in the middle of interrogating someone for one of their rare cases where queer people do exist, probably) and steve’s like “oh god yes, not adam and steve. i don’t think of adam like that, and i wouldn’t want to marry anyone besides danny anyway” and danny’s like “wait, you wanna marry me?” and that’s how they figure out steve may have a ring hidden in his sock drawer.

(danny: “that’s OUR sock drawer. we share that drawer. that is not a good hiding place! who put you in charge of anything?” steve, who spent the last two months silently hoping danny would “accidentally” find the ring box and call him out on exactly this because whatever danny may say, their ideas of romance definitely overlap in the “bickering over socks and inconsequentially bad plans” department: “ah, you say that, but you didn’t find it, did you? did you even look?” danny: “why would i look for rings in my socks! why do i want to spend the rest of my life with you so badly when your brain is so weird!” their suspect, who is still cuffed to a chair next to them and has the uncomfortable feeling he just got them engaged with his homophobic rhetoric: “???”)

danny: i’m staying at steve’s temporarily.

danny: so it’s a temporary thing, you know.

danny: just until one of us dies of old age.

concept: danny comes to steve and is like “do we have an hr department?” and steve’s like “... do you want to file a complaint? i’m barely even your boss, you almost never do what i say” and danny’s like “no. i’m considering a change in relationship status and i don’t want us to get fired” and steve’s like “did you say us?” and that’s the wildly romantic story of how danny asked steve out for the first time.

season 10 is just so wild. danny sets steve up on dates but then doesn’t let him actually go on a date without calling and texting every five seconds, steve dutifully tries to ask out women but keeps mentioning how much he loves danny and that they’re married, and then danny flies across the country because steve’s mother died, suggests they could sleep in the same bed and moves in with steve maybe a week later, and steve’s just like “sssh, lou, don’t tell danny i know he’s making shit up because he might change his mind” and lets danny live with him for months. they never truly talk about what happened to danny’s house and if he might ever need to go back. there are random episodes where we are reminded that they’re both totally still interested in dating women, 100% for sure definitely, but actual potential girlfriends are an afterthought, and steve ends up turning a valentine’s date into a team movie night so he has an excuse to stick close to danny, literally, because he cuddles up between danny and his actual supposed date on the couch. the last episode tells us danny is the person steve cares about most in the world, in those precise words, and shows us that steve would try to enter a car that is on actual real fire to get to danny, and also that danny, who’s consistently been characterized as someone who can’t be happy because his anxiety keeps him too stressed all the time, is in fact now pretty happy with life. now, as in, after he didn’t get back together with rachel but instead moved in with steve with seemingly no intention to ever move back out. all of this is literal canon text, and then i didn’t even get into the easy implication that danny might be sleeping in steve’s bed some of the time after moving in because canon made a whole point of telling us there were no beds free and danny didn’t want to sleep on the couch.

I think it’s time to do an introduction. Lengthy one. I apologize. It’s not easy for me to explain myself.

It was my intention to explore whump & hurt/comfort with other people online who understand it more than I do. I’m also a big fan of many shows (current being PSon).

This tumblr is also me trying to get through a shit ton of repressed trauma and grow and learn in the only outlet I’m currently allowed (I’m not able to go to an actual psychologist for at least 6 months). But if anyone stops by and reads one of my deep thoughts posts and relates; that’s super exciting for me. I feel like I’ve done something good in the world. I welcome different opinions too, just please don’t hockaloogie at my tumblr and then storm off and leave an unresolved ball of disagreement there. That makes me sad.

🥺

👉🏼👈🏼

Like I was over thinking that all through school and into the night.

A few things about me:

I’m currently taking some college courses. I like to stay active. I love to run but hate starting to run. I love food soooo much. Steak Fajitas are my jam. I also love jam. Bacon cheeseburgers, toast, and a good pile of assorted fruit (because, health!) I love stories and art. These things get me through life. I’d love to try acting some day but I’m way too scared right now.

I love people too much. I can see every side to an argument (I don’t agree with both sides at once - I just can empathize too easily). I’m working on balancing that in a healthy manner.

I love psychology and sociology - but I’m not well-read or taught, so don’t get mad if I see things completely backwards. I’m also working hard on that. It’s gotten me in trouble. When in doubt, I usually think everyone else is right and I’m wrong and I panic for days.

I’ve been through a lot of relationship shit. Not sexual relationship shit - I’ve only had one boyfriend, and that was a rocky road to be sure, but I mean I was raised in the same cult as the Duggars (seeing Josh plead not guilty yesterday was on my mind the whole day. So friend/family/random stranger on the street that I automatically think “human! Friend!!!” That kind of relationship shit.

I suffer from complex sleep issues...I don’t know if it’s night terrors like in PSon, but without screaming. While sleeping: I’ve run around my room, run into walls and doors, held full conversations, hurt myself, roundhouse kicked myself off my bed, and countless times I’ve woken up into a panic attack. It’s not fun. So far I haven’t jumped through a window.

I did start therapy last year: but due to reasons I’m not going to clarify, that’s not possible at the moment.

I really don’t like opening up and initially explaining the cult I grew up in, because some of it is so normal to me that when people are looking for some “crazy thing that’s happened” I legit don’t know it is crazy...which usually leads the same people to go with: “wait, so, you’re crazy because you don’t know.” Not the case. This is why I listen deeply to other people. Why I still am friends with people from both sides (the cult- and the survivors). Why I’m fighting so hard to adapt and be a mature version of myself that doesn’t involve following a sexual predator’s rules for life. Or his stupid insistence to overthink every gesture as being potentially sexual. I hate that. I hate it so much. I love people. I don’t want to think about them in that way. That I’m a prostitute parading myself in front of innocent humans & if I get r***d it’s my fault. I don’t mind talking about the cult after I’ve gotten a good read on who I’m talking to. Not yet sure about online. This is the first time I’ve posted about it on anything online related.

I was in the cult from birth until 19, so I never went to school or had a normal childhood, no. Not even close, and it wasn’t all bad - some of it was fun - which is confusing as hell. Just like I love my parents So Much but I know that a lot of my childhood was so messed up. On top of being in a cult both my parents were dealing with their own mental health issues that they haven’t/probably never will get help for, and we lived in a shitty neighborhood(s) - we moved often - that also caused trauma in other ways.

PSon the show is actually very helpful with my life. The premise being: what if one of your parents (who you love, and is actually really cool/nice) turns out is a serial killer?

So no, neither of my parents are serial killers, and I can’t begin to imagine the trauma of that. The writing of the show and how it goes into such detail within the family dynamic, friend dynamic, and just...all of the relationship qualities in the show is so well done.

I’m going to post a separate intro with preferred whump and a physical trauma list. I’m still figuring out whump and what makes it tick and what makes people so attracted to it.

And that’s enough about me. Over sharing to the max, here. Like I said, I will write a second post about whump because it deserves its own category - and this post is completely & selfishly about me. I’m open to asks, and definitely fic recs for whump. I love SGA, SG1, H50, SPN, PSon, and many many more.

[whumpgalore]

Hi! I’m not sure how tumblr works but all I know is it’s hard for all the whumpers to easily rec things so I started a subreddit called r/WhumpRecs to bring the whump community back together. I always have trouble finding recs so I was wondering if you could promote this on your blog so we can all have one place to post things! I understand if this isn’t something you want on your blog! Love your page btw!

Hi I was wondering if you could tell people about r/WhumpRecs on reddit so we can build a platform where we can all talk? Also I really need a new show to watch with hot young men whump, I’ve seen all the classics, any hidden gems you can suggest? 

i’m gonna go out on a limb here, and say this is the same person? haha. first of alllll, my most sincere apologies for not responding sooner. yikes. i am not on Tumblr a lot for anything other than whump reblogs/research, so my messages get ignored / forgotten a lot. :P

secondly, i am not familiar with Reddit at all, but i would be more than happy to share about it here! :) 

{LINK TO WHUMPRECS PAGE}

and i’m not sure what your definition of “classics” is (i was thinking Supernatural, Stargate Atlantis, The Flash, etc, so definitely watch those if you haven’t), but some of my “young, hot guy” favs are:

Max Evans in Roswell: New Mexico (The man whumps so well, plus has the brooding/angsty/sacrificial thing DOWN. Ugh.)

Stiles Stilinsk in Teen Wolf (Okay, hear me out. He starts out a little scrawny, but come Season 3? The guy is a hunk, and Dylan O’Brien is one of the greatest actors to ever grace my screen. INCREDIBLE. Plus, I think he’s hot. So. Ya know.) 

Ty Borden in Heartland (Maybe he’s not “hot”, but he’s cute. And he has some pretty great whump/comfort scenes. Check out 2x18, 5x13, 10x16-10x17 especially.)

Steve McGarrett in H50 (Just... Steve gets beat up, injured, and shot so much, even I feel kinda bad for him. And I’m a whumper. Lol. Most people know about this one, but I can’t help but advertise a bit. It’s great.)

Alex Walker in Almost Paradise (This is a new show, and Christian Kane may not be your typical “hot” guy (hey, he’s cute!), but there is some pretty great whump in the 10 episodes we got. Especially 1x10. Whew.)

Nick Burkhardt in Grimm (I have a beef with the writers... they did not whump Nick nearly as much as they should have. But he’s definitely a hottie, and there are some pretty good gems hidden if you’re willing to dig a little. I’m working on a complete whump list for him right now, actually. ;))

I have soooo many more, but here are a few to start with. ;) Hope you enjoy!

[aceofwhump]

Hi there! I feel like every year I just end up watching the same handful of Christmas movies, so decided it's finally time for me to broaden my horizons this year. I see that you appear to be quite a fan of Christmas movies & was wondering if by any chance you may have seen any of the following & can vouch for whether any of them are any good & worth a watch: Wish Upon a Christmas and Santa's Squad both starring Aaron Ashmore, Buttons: A Christmas Tale starring Ioan Gruffud 1/2

Home for the Holidays starring RDJ & A Princess for Christmas starring Sam Heughan. I like those four actors so those are ones I've kind of stumbled across whilst scouring for things to watch but I'm also open to any suggestions if you have any other recs😉? I realize that the majority of festive/Christmas movies are unlikely to feature any significant whump in them but if you happen to know of any that do that would also be a bonus! Thank you❤! 2/2

You have come to the right place my friend!! I LOVE Christmas movies so much!! 

So I’ve seen 3 out of the 5 of those films. Unfortunately none of them really have any whump to them. Such is the way of Christmas/Holiday/Hallmark movies. 

A Princess for Christmas with Sam Heughan and Katie McGrath is SO GOOD!! I love it a lot. I watch it every year. It’s so cute and it’s really funny watching Sam play the harsh, badass, unpolished Jamie Fraser and then watching him playing the super posh clean cut royalty type. And Katie is SO funny and amazing like usual. Highly recommend.

Wish Upon a Christmas with Aaron Ashmore is also good! He plays a dad in the film and runs a Christmas ornament making business and he’s super handsome and cute in it. It also stars  Larisa Oleynik who plays Jenna Kaye in H50 if you’ve seen that. I think it’s super charming and cute and has a nice touch of Christmas magic in it.

I have not yet watched Santa's Squad but I have it in my dvr to watch soon.

Home for the Holidays I’ve only seen once a long time ago and it was purely because of RDJ lol. It’s kind of a crazy film but I think it's so good. Naturally RDJ was phenominal in it. 

I have not seen Buttons but GOD I WANT TO!!! It looks amazing and definitely look to be up my alley with it’s historical aspect, musical aspect, and Ioan Gruffdd!! I’m totally putting it on my watch list.
