Show Me The River

Right after the rescue, watching Steve on the chopper—the easy way he'd held his weapon, the way he'd laughed and joked around—Danny had assumed they would chalk this up to more proof that SuperSEAL was, apparently, indestructible. Assumed they would get back to Hawaii, and he and Chin would probably have to resort to duct taping Steve to the nearest hospital bed.

He'd been wrong.

Goodnight Moon

Steve wanted nothing more than to lean against the wall for a second, but he willed himself to stay on his feet instead. “I checked, I can catch a flight to Dallas this afternoon, then grab a connecting flight to Pensacola. I’ll send this guy packing, be back in Hawai’i by Monday.”

so **shuffles feet** @cowandcalf and @stephmcx tagged me way back when Tarquinus was still king. In my defense, it was summer and I was summering. (estivation really should be a hobby. just saying)

Five fic recs of my own personal fics (under the cut ‘cuz I got long-winded)

note 1: All of my fic is on Dreamwidth, some of it has been cross-posted to A03.

O-Ate-Four

Addams Family and Avengers 530 words

pairing: none, gen

Why I wrote It: Because my muse is a seductive temptress. And also because I’m convinced the Addams family has to exist in the same world where **checks notes** people fight aliens with pointy sticks.

Why you should read it: Natasha, Wednesday, French cemetery. Come on, what else do you need for a perfect Halloween fic?

Talking about pointy sticks, I may have written an entire fic where Hawkeye renovates a cabin. My ability to write truly riveting plots is… questionable😜

Operation: Cupcakes 1,427 words

pairing: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams but gen

Why I wrote it: Because the only thing better than writing about cupcakes is writing about red velvet cupcakes. No really, thats the plot. Did I mention my riveting plots?😆

Why you should read it: Because there is a serious dearth of McDanno baking fics. And because there are red velvet cupcakes.

Beam Me Up, Danno

Hawaii Five-0 42,995 (including sequel)

Why I wrote it: Either this was a whumptober fic that got out of hand—or my muse tied me up and threatened to put a Ceti eel in my ear if I didn’t write it. Take your pick.

Why you should read it: Because the world needs a Hawaii Five-0 Star Trek AU? Also, there is Cardassian poetry, diplomatic javelining, and aliens that love butter pecan ice cream.

Yes, this is my second ‘Hawaii Five-0 in space’ AU, and I’m totally done writing about aliens. **hides my Hawaii Five-0 MIB wip behind my back**

Care and Feeding of a Super Seal

Hawaii Five-0 59,934 words

pairing: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams

Why I wrote it: This is my coda for the Hawaii Five 0 finale and all @cowandcalf’s fault. My muse agreed with all her points in this meta she wrote and… stuff happened. Also, I was obsessing thinking in a very normal fashion about how the ohana deserved better, too.

Why you should read it: I did my best to explain the ending, various plot holes the size of an spider crab, and a few other things that have bugged fans over the years. There’s also Steve!whump, some badass!Danny, and a generous sprinkling of ohana. Most importantly, the boys talk about diving, and get their happy ever after.

Beasts and Outlaws note: this fic is only on dreamwidth

Supernatural 145, 622 words

pairing: Dean Winchester/OMC

Why I wrote it: I’ve always wanted a paranormal fic that felt like it was set in the southwest, so I decided to write one cleverly disguised as a Supernatural AU.

Why you should read it: Where else are you going to get a fic with nagueles, rain gods, and the FBI? Also, Old Man Coyote makes a random appearance and Dean’s in love with a were-cougar.

And yes, I wrote a Hawaii Five-0 AU where I turned Chin into a were-leopard but its totally not the same thing😂

Three Sentences

notes: Written for the first week of prompts over at 1-million-words.livejournal.com (and hosted by the awesome @simplyn2deep !!) The song in #7 is ‘You Give Me Fever’. Max would totally not think to change the pronouns :-)

~~Making Money~~

Steve looked entirely too pleased with himself as he dangled the winning auction ticket in front of his partner. “I want my date now.”

“I hate you so, so, so much.”

~~Red Light~~

“STEVE!!!!”

“It was still yellow, Danny.”

“And THAT is an arrow, you idiot, and THAT arrow says you are driving the WRONG WAY!!!!”

~~Fire~~

“You set my truck on fire!”

“Me? This was your dumbass plan!”

~~Wrong Turn~~

“I’m late because I took a wrong turn—sir.”

“Just give me the keys, Junior, and Renee never has to know I let you drive her car.”

“Um, the stolen diamonds, our suspect, and your wife’s car are on a ship that’s bound for Hong Kong—sir.”

~~Black Cat~~

Danny froze, staring in disbelief at the cases of Black Cats in the Camaro’s trunk.

“You know that favor we owe Kamekona?”

“A favor is getting him a prime spot at the next food fair—not smuggling contraband fireworks in the car I just got back from the body shop, Steven!”

~~Hope~~

Steve tiptoed into the icy silence of Danny’s office, and set down both a dessert and a spoon. 

Danny sighed, and dug the spoon into the hot fudge sunday. “Just for the record, me eating this does not mean you are forgiven, Steven Jack McGarrett.”

~~Fever~~

Max took the microphone, gave Sabrina a shy smile—and then belted out, “Never know how much I love you, never know how much I caaaare!”

When he reached ‘he gives me fever with his kisses’, Danny leaned over. Steve gave him a third beer grin—and met him halfway.

@cowandcalf tagged me to post something from my WIP. This is from ‘Goodnight, Moon’ which is **checks notes** yes, another mcdanno AU.

tagging @itwoodbeprefect @mcdannoangelwolf @redgoldblue @bgharison @simplyn2deep @stephmcx @kristin99 and anyone else who wants to share a snippet from their WIPs!

putting this under a cut ‘cuz its kind of long:

It was one in the morning, but Steve couldn’t sleep. He wandered out onto the lanai, back into the kitchen for a glass of water, and then headed across the lawn to the garage. Opened the toolbox, only to realize that he just wasn’t up to wrestling sense out of his dad’s riddles.

He picked up the tape recorder, ran his thumb over the play button. That jogged his memory.

Where was the Eight Islands Story Hour videotape?

Back in the 80’s, there had been a statewide project to tape people reading children’s books; first in English, and then in Hawai’ian. His mom was on the second tape in the series, reading Goodnight, Moon in English.

He’d been ten; too old and too cool to care about a recording of his mom reading a ‘baby’ book. Mary, though, had watched and rewatched the tape for the next couple of years. Eventually, she moved on to cartoons and kid movies—until 1992.

While his dad was making the final arrangements at the funeral home, Steve had searched through the kid movies piled up in the bookcase, and Mary had snuck a can of beer from the fridge in the garage. Then they had held their own vigil; listening to their mom read to them one more time, while they split the beer.

Letting his nine-year old sister drink was definitely not one of his finer moments as a brother, but that afternoon had somehow felt more real, more meaningful, than his mom’s funeral.

Or his father’s funeral, two weeks ago.

Steve put the tape recorder back, closed the toolbox. Went into the house, and started searching. He finally found the boxes half-buried in the closet of the guest bedroom. He carried the big box downstairs first, pulled out the VCR. Sorted through the cables and a ziplock bag of adapters, found what he needed to hook the machine up.

He returned to the closet, grabbing the box labeled ‘Kid Movies - VHS’ in his dad’s broad, strong handwriting. Steve carried the box downstairs, set it on the coffee table. Found the Story Hour tape near the bottom. A photo of his mom was on the back cover, and he had to swallow against the sudden lump in his throat.

He pushed the tape into the VCR, checked the box again. Good Night, Moon was the second book on the tape. He hit play and forward a few times, finally found the right section.

His mom was sitting in a wooden rocker, looking impossibly young. She was smiling at the camera. “—next book is ‘Good Night, Moon’ by Margaret Wise Brown.”

Her smile was like a gut punch and Steve half-sat, half-fell into the recliner.

In the great green room, there was a telephone

He hadn’t cried during the long flight back, or at his father’s funeral. He hadn’t even cried when he’d stood over the outline of his father’s body, the walls of his childhood home still flecked with blood. But hearing his mother’s voice for the first time in eighteen years was too much.

Steve dropped his head in his hands, and wept.

H50 March 10th - Small Bingo Fills: Cooking Together, Laundry

Later, Danny could never quite put his finger on when exactly he knew. Maybe it was the second time they ate lunch together, sitting side by side on a hospital bed.
