@adelaydebclouds 😘

Answering to your tags: yeah, there are two episodes in this crossover. That one from h50 episodes list (2x21) seems to be more popular in our fandom (well, no surprise here cause we all watched h50 and not all watched NCIS or not all knew about the second part of Touch of death - though if I remember correctly there was some info in the end of Hawaiian part that the case would be continued in NCIS 🤔). You mentioned that you haven't seen NCIS part (3x21) yet so, huh, please let me recommend it to you 😉 Oh come on, there's Danny. And Chino. And there's a tiny moment about Danny's poor/bad life with Rachel/her family 😢 And there's Hetty and her interaction with Danny (it's hilarious, by the way! 😂). And it's generally funny to watch whole NCIS team interacting with our Five-0 😊

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*

rules: post the first sentence of your last ten fics. if you haven’t written ten fics, share as many first-sentences as you have.

i was tagged by @actingcamplibrarian ❤️ 

1. Callen sees Ilyse the moment he opens his door, and almost shuts it again and resolves himself to living the rest of his life indoors.

2. It’s Danny that drives Steve to the hospital when they get back, because SEAL Team Nine immediately disperse to wherever SEAL teams go when they’re not SEALing, and Joe is patching up the others at HQ, and because, well, of course it’s Danny that drives Steve to the hospital.

3. Danny’s pulling idly on Steve’s earlobe one evening when he asks, “What’re these?”

4. An expanse of stars spread out before Jim’s gaze, the deceptively thin material that curved around a full wall of the viewing deck barely visible unless one focused on it, and certainly not obstructive of the view.

5. “Hey, help me hang this photo,” were, Danny thought, innocent enough opening words.

6. The steady, deafening knocking didn’t let up at Danny’s groan. 

7. The first time, it’s a knife in the desk drawer.

8. “See, the thing is,” Starsky says, leans over the pool table, and neatly breaks the racked balls.

9. Hutch is shaking in Starsky’s arms, trembling fast and minutely, like a guitar with its strings wound so tight that every touch threatens to snap them.

10. Huggy, with a towel thrown over his shoulder and as harried an expression as he ever got, met Hutch at the door to the Pits.

[sickofthistoxicshit]

Read a post earlier today talking about how "Sorry I'm late" may be about a pregnancy, and I am not negating it - because speculations and all. (Madney speaking imo)

But I think buddie-wise, if it does happen - I think that the "I'm sorry I'm late" part is about Eddie and Buck actually being late - late to realize, late to do something about it, late to be together, at least this season.

I have a feeling that Eddie may actually start the next season in isolation, medically speaking, like maybe he gets infected by something and in true NCIS LA and H50 Style, he will be in actual isolation.

Another near death experience, with a whole new outlook on life, hopefully, would give him and Buck who would probably, naturally, be the one to look after Christopher in the meantime, time to reflect about new realizations and time to miss each other in a whole new way.

Just a thought.

I also wonder if Eddie's family will find out about Buck getting Christopher just in case something happens to Eddie, before Eddie gets hurt or after.

Because that would also explain the "reset" button so to speak, there is no way his parents would see it with a kind eye.

okay, i'm going to copy my tags into the body of the post, because they've become important context as i've worked this out in a highly scientific way:

#leaves one to wonder where h50's danny rates on this scale #we know he has a key to steve's house at least. so i guess that would put him closer to ray for. you know. having keys on him at all #i know the camaro keys are a big mystery but i would assume that he's not in possession of them very often #there's the one episode where he and steve do therapy and he gives steve a guitar and then steve ceremoniously hands him the keys #to let him drive. so maybe danny is the perfect middle? #danny WANTS keys but he doesn't have them. steve is danny's top of the doorframe #do NOT read that without the last three words i was NOT making a joke this is extremely serious media analysis

so, keeping that in mind, here's the BPOACDKCAC (Blond Part Of A Copaganda Duo Key Carrying Alignment Chart):

and obviously, now the follow-up questions to fuel further research are... who is our missing mystery man blond part of a copaganda duo who is just so Perfect, just so Content, just so Well-Organized and on top of extremely pedestrian home security measures (i won't name names, hutch), that he fills our much-desired carries keys / has enough keys square? does such an exemplary man exist (on television fictionally in a buddy cop show with blond hair)??

some combination of @actingcamplibrarian's advent calendar fic (hidden in plain sight) and @redgoldblue's recent due south watch has got me thinking about starsky and hutch's hutch canonically not carrying the key to his own apartment but hiding it on top of the doorframe vs. due south's rayk in mountie on the bounty naming the whole bundle of keys he's carrying, telling fraser that the ones he's holding up are, in order, the keys to his old car, to his apartment, to his old apartment, to his locker, and "don't know. ... don't know", meaning that at any time he has at least six keys on him of which four are either obsolete or entirely a mystery, and that's while they were looking for a seventh key (to ray's handcuffs). i don't have a point here except i guess. the blond part of a buddy cop duo. he'll either carry zero keys (bad) or ALL the keys (also unfortunate).

[slutforsilverfoxes]

I have so many WIPs I should be working on but instead my brain is like “but what if? NCIS? meet H50? story??”

So there’s that 😐

And yes I know there’s an H50 x NCIS LA crossover but ITS NOT THE SAME THING OKAY I WANT GIBBS AND TONY AND TIM

[random-fandom-whump]

have you got any recs for the best friend/ partner/love interest finding the main character passed out exhausted after a fight they've won or finding the mc after they've been kidnapped and they're still tied up and helpless?

H50 does the first one well, and Graceland has a good one for the second, but otherwise I can't think of any!

So many times, I've been left disappointed when the mc has been found just after they've saved themselves! (Chicago PD and Jay being found right after he saved himself and then skipping the moments between him being shot and the ambulance arriving was torture!!!)

Check out NCIS when Tony and Ziva are undercover and NCIS LA when Deeks and Sam are undercover as well :)

Strike Back 4.08 kinda hits on it but it’s not nearly enough, per usual 😂

Supernatural when Dean saves Sam from the ghouls or when Sam saves Dean from the djin.

The Flash when Caitlyn finds Barry unconscious and tied up.

I’m sure there are so many more but those are what came to mind. Hope that helped!

[merlin-wolfgang-trades-hale]

I was talking to my brother about crossovers and how they have to be done well. Enough so people who don’t watch the other show don’t get lost and become curious about the other show.

And then we talked about h50 and the crossovers it had.

NCIS: LA worked for me because it had Danny. I would watch NCIS:la if it came on TV after.

The crossover with magnum pi did the opposite and I refuse to watch it now. It had no Danny which was a crime. And more so it shoved two hetero versions of McDanno and made the relationship crucial part of the dynamic and still denied me canon McDanno despite all the canon shit they’ve been through. So bitterly, I associate magnum negatively and have no intention of ever watching.

20 questions for fic writers

stolen from @lamardeuse back in 2023 and languishing in my drafts forever

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

39

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

124,445

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now I'm adding notes to a possible Soapghost fic, I've ideas for an H50 fic I never know if it'll see the light of day, and bits and pieces of unfinished things in every fandom I ever been in i think.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I've yet to be the king of my castle (911, Buck/Tommy)

On this road I'm crawling (H50, McDanno)

Cause I keep runnin' from my heart (H50, McDanno)

I want to hurry home to you (NCIS LA, Sam/Callen)

Playing favourites (Torchwood, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones/Gwen Cooper)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Of course! Why? Because it's fun, I might be late replying because of handwave everything in my life rn

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

An old Torchwood, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, MCD fic; As I die (Reaping through the truth, Life becomes untrue)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Difficult question, but possibly Cause I keep runnin' from my heart.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Lol no. I'm not the type of writer people get up in arms about, I'm the casual read when you're scrolling a tag

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I'm so tame these days I hardly reach the Explicit rating. But there's bdsm, blood play etc back there since I used to write Spike/Angel and Riddick AUs.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've a couple I think, the one I remember is Torchwood/Angel the series.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Doubt it

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Once! That was so cool actually.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah, nothing saved but back in Livejournal days and before that on message boards rooms, kinda like discord.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Writing wise I think Spike/Angel, it used to be so easy to write a ficlet here and there. They've got such massive shared history to dig into.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The Dom/Brian werewolf AU. There's also a Spike/Angel that's nearly finished and something gets stuck every time I try and finish it. But hey, I finished my NCIS LA fic series, it only took me 10+ years so who knows. I just need my brain back, there's too much in ny life rn.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Character's voices? I have no idea but that's how every story starts in my head, these dialogues that I then have to build around which isn't my strong suit. But just cause I feel like I've got their voices right doesn't mean they ring true in someone's else's ears.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting and research. The overarching idea for a giant plot always falls apart on the nitty gritty for me. Either I lose momentum and start hating the story, or the nitty gritty becomes like reading a factual add-on. And research stumps me because see previous, I've a hard time picking out what the reader's need to follow along the story and not take them out of the story with too many facts.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't know if I ever have?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Pitch Black I think. Or Angel/Spike.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I still think the old SGA McShep ficlets Rainy days/When the rain lets up but that could be because it was such good fun to be apart of that fandom and I remember enjoying writing that.

i don’t watch the other two NCIS shows [tho they were pretty enjoyable to watch in a crossover situation i’ll admit] so i might be biased in saying this, but LA still has the best theme song.

tagging @faorism @gallantrejoinder if you'd care to do this in any form (including as writing/art review)!

Words and Fics (on ao3) 📚

words posted: 52,220, apparently. Which is actually... basically last year's but minus 10k because I didn't do H50 Big Bang this year, because med school. most things in my life now can be stated as 'because med school'. (actually I just realised I didn't do it last year either, but that was because I was already finishing a 10k H50 fic. so my point stands)

fics posted: either 6 or 29, depending on whether one counts the advent calendar as one fic or 24. plus 3 posted only on Tumblr.

first fic: love don't treat you like that (babe, I'm letting you know) (H50). on the NINTH of january, apparently. i've already lost my first-fic-of-the-year contest to last year, unless i unexpectedly finish something today.

last fic: Advent Calendar 2023 / ...Zaph Kilkane, the pre-eminent climate scientist of the 22nd century...

Top 5 Favorite Fics 💖

okay, I'm going to count distinct chapters of the advent calendar for this. in no particular order and subject to mood change:

When You're Loving Me (That's When I'm Loving You) (NCIS: LA) - I cited this as a contender for my favourite fic I've written a couple months ago, so obviously it has to go in the year's. what can i say, fake dating is an immaculate trope, and this also all came onto the page very easily which is always vaguely miraculous.

there you go pulling me right back in (H50) - sometimes vague prompts i've had down for ages write up as something that's. fine, but a bit clunky, and I just have to move on bc it's the advent calendar and a new fic each day. sometimes I start writing them and they spring into life with joyous delight. or in this case, uninhibited grumpiness and love.

singing yesterday's songs wishing i could be with you tonight (MASH) - the one that didn't make it into the top 5 kudosed, I assume partially due to being locked and partially due to being a serious tone, not terribly shippy, and Peg POV. But I've had some version or other of it for a long time, it's one of those stories I'm genuinely proud of, and I was glad to finally post it.

Totally Normal (Due South) - it's fun. it was fun. I was slightly nervous about it, because the only prior Due South thing I'd written was Dief POV and this was Fraser and RayK POV and the first time writing either of those, but it turns out watching + liveblogging four and two seasons, respectively, of a character in four months is. enough to cement their voices in my head. it was unexpectedly easy and also. fun.

Festive Spice (MUNCLE) - i just think it epitomises the advent calendar. in the words of coolbreezemage, 'yesssss bake cakes and kiss your partner'.

HMs:

Finding A Cure In You (S&H) - this doesn't make it to the above list due to the fact that I haven't actually managed to reread it since I posted it. but just for the amount of time I spent with it, how different it is to my usual M.O. of writing, and the weird way I wrote it (entirely in the notes app, with almost zero rereading while writing), I have to somehow mention it.

A Thousand Words / To Be Spared (Good Omens) - I don't know if they're favourite but I do think they're good. and the format of to be spared was pleasingly experimental and i think it worked.

Projects for 2024 👀

mmm gonna sort this differently and also ramble

Ones that will definitely be finished in 2024 and if they aren't you have free rein to come to my house and tie me to a chair come November: MUNCLE wip, The Unwitting Truth Affair/The Honesty Affair, I haven't actually decided which title yet;

Starsky & Hutch, the still-unnamed Huggy & Pete wip.

Ones I have both hope and some amount of faith will be finished in 2024 and if they aren't you have free rein to come into my inbox and harass me about them: Hawaii Five-0 wip, Much Ado About Something (*salutes squares*);

other Hawaii Five-0 wip, state of disrepair. yes, I'm manifesting state of disrepair 2024. probably november/december 2024, but i'm manifesting it anyway;

Leverage wip, all that I want is a kind heart to haunt

Ones I would like to be finished in 2024, and if my brain decides it likes them might be, but all you have free rein for is to politely ask me about them once per business month: Hawaii Five-0 cath/steve/danny pwp, Wait A Minute Let Me Take You There;

horny S&H wip, Previews Of Your Body Driving Me Insane;

S&H Vanessa coda, so cordial / so rotten (don't ask me);

Good Omens wip, love won't you be as you've always been

Ones I don't expect to finish in 2024 but would like to get some words down in: angsty S&H wip, Relentless As The Rain;

ridiculous undercover H50 wip, Four Seasons of Love;

other ridiculous H50 wip, The Irritating, Annoying, Infuriating, (Effective) Seduction Techniques of One Steven J. McGarrett;

SPN ..wip? depending on the time limit on 'progress'?, Smells Like Turpentine.

vague thoughts: i'd like to write a full-length (for whatever value of that. the AC ones actually were full-length, especially the second one, but what I really mean is AC-independent) due south fic. they're very weird and i enjoyed writing them, and I'd also like to write something with RayV in it. maybe if I successfully inspired @itwoodbeprefect to write new ds, when she does that it will inspire me to write something, and we can set up a ping-pong game. no, wait, that's mixing fandoms.

I expect more MUNCLE fic. this one's already 3.5k and rocketing along, and i'm only two-thirds of the way through season 1. what form that will take i don't know at this stage but we'll see.

....i was discussing the vague concept of house/h50 crossover fic with squares literally yesterday and on the one hand I haven't written a crossover since 2014 and also don't want that to be my legacy, but on the other hand i think there is at least a 50% chance it's going to stick in the back of my brain and keep niggling.

[blogger360ncislarules]

My Tiva wedding NCIS verse crossover drabble, turned into a fic! enjoy.

[five0mcdanno]

Just realized that Steve isn't in any of the H50 crossover episodes. Hes not in the NCIS LA because of Alex's health at the time. The MacGyver episode that crossed over into H50 only had Chin and Kono. Even though Steve apparently knows both And Jack. Will he be in the Magnum crossover I wonder. Pretty sure Lenkov is going the same route with the whole "oh look Steve served with him too" with Thomas. So I'm pretty sure he'll be in it? Maybe? Guess we'll see.
