It’s the one and only me, and I’m back! (I know just in time for the carnage of the finale, my timing is excellent). So after months of saving I finally acquired myself a new computer with means this blog is officially open for fanfic and feels again! More good news is that I’m in the process of joining Archive of Our Own (AO3)! Big thank you and shout out to my girl Annie @captain-swan-shipyard, for sending me the invitation, and for being my Tumblr friend, and biggest supporter, and shipmate across two fandoms. You can now find me at http://archiveofourown.org/users/JillyBeans_storycorner
So that’s the fun happy news. Now to the bummer part. In transferring files over from my old computer, to an external hard drive, to the new computer, some of the files got corrupted. I had to pick and chose what to save, and unfortunately many of my unpublished fics didn’t survive. However I do still have the hand written notes for them so hopefully they’ll come back better than before! It’ll give me a great distraction because unfortunately during my hiatus I got diagnosed with an IBD, they’re in the rather unpleasant process of figuring out which one it is (apparently there’s more than one way your body can turn on itself and launch a full scale war that won’t end until it rips out its own digestive track, who knew?) I’m on a break from pretty much my entire life, but it’s given me time for myself and the things I never had time for before, like filling this small corner of the internet with Team Ohana goodness!
So without further ado I welcome you all back! Thank you for not unfollowing me in my absence, I’ll try not to disappoint.
Hi love! Could I have an imagine with Steve McGaret? One where we are in a relationship and I'm part of the Five-0 task force, and we are doing a case with Wo Fat, and Steve tells us to all separate and I go search a building and I get kidnapped by wo fat, and Steve gets a call when he was with Danny and Wo Fat has a live video of me that the team is watching and he's torturing me. I try to fight back. Steve is freaking out about it, but you can finish it. Thanks love!
“How are your pancakes Monkey?” Danny asked as he watched with amusement as his daughter wolfed down her syrup drenched short-stack.
“Goahd” Grace mumbled around a mouthful and nodded. “Thanks for taking me to breakfast.” she said after swallowing.
“Well thank you for coming out with me.” Danny replied with a smile. He’d been thrilled to steal a quite moment away with his little girl. Between work, everything that was going on with Charlie, and Grace’s increasingly developing allergy to his presence, they hadn’t spent nearly enough time together in his eyes. She’s growing up so fast and he hates himself a little for having to ruin their father/daughter time with this.
“What’s wrong Danno?” Grace asked, eyeing him curiously over her plate.
“Nothing, I was just thinking about how fast you’re growing up. That’s all.”
“Danno.” she said poignantly, she had his number on this, she was smart kid. He may as well just accept that the older she got, the less he’d be able to hide from her.
“All right.” Danny sighed, time to get this over with. “Grace, there’s something I have tell you.”
Grace’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong?” she asked fearfully. “Is it Charlie?”
“No, no, baby, it’s nothing like that.” he was kicking himself for scaring her. “No, Charlie’s fine. Everything’s ok. No, Monkey, I just...I wanted to talk to you about Melissa.”
“What about her?” Grace asked, quirking her eyebrows suspiciously.
“Well, Monkey, I....Sometimes.....There’s no easy way to say it but, Grace, Melissa and I aren’t gonna be seeing each other anymore.”
“Oh.” Grace replied, relaxing back into her chair. “I’m sorry Daddy.”
“I’m sorry too.”
“Are you sad?” Grace asked, looking sympathetically at him.
“I don’t know Monkey, I guess I’m more....disappointed. I’d liked for things to have turned out differently, but sometimes these things just don’t work.”
He eyed Grace’s expression carefully, looking for her reaction, but the only thing that registered was sympathy, and maybe even a tiny bit of relief.
“Grace, are you ok with this?” Danny asked hesitantly.
“Yeah. I mean, I’m sorry for you, but...for a second I thought you were gonna say you were gonna ask her to marry you.” Grace mumbled, suddenly very interested in her fork.
“Would you have not liked it if I did?”
Grace shrugged. “I don’t know. I would have been happy for you.”
“But-“
“I don’t know.”
“Grace.” Danny said seriously reaching across the table to take her hand. “Baby I want you to be honest with me, always, no matter how much you think it’s something I don’t wanna hear I do. Ok?”
“Honestly?” Grace hesitated. “I didn’t like her very much.”
“What?”
“I mean, she wasn’t mean, or anything, but, I don’t know I just didn’t like her. We didn’t really talk that much, or anything. I don’t know it was just kinda weird. I’m sorry Danno.”
“Grace why didn’t you tell me?” Danny asked heavily “I wouldn’t have never kept seeing someone who you didn’t like. We’re a package deal Monkey. Remember you’re-“
“The most important thing in my life and the second thing isn’t even close. I know.” Grace recited miserably. “That’s why I didn’t tell you. You’d have broken up with her and I didn’t want to be the reason you weren’t happy, again.”
“Grace how can you think that-“
“You broke up with Gabby because of me.” Grace interjected, her voice quivering with mounting emotion. “I heard you guys talking that night. You thought I was asleep, but I heard you come in and I wanted to come say hi, and I heard you say that you wanted to stay together, but you couldn’t because of me. And you were crying like you did the night Mom left you. I didn’t want to do that to you again...”
Danny blinked several times, completely taken aback by what he was hearing. But the unshed tears in clinging to Grace’s lashes forced him up and out of his chair on instinct.
“Oh, Monkey, c’mere.” he said wrapping her up in a tight hug and kissing the top of her head. Grace for her part, seemed to forget that she was a cool pre-teen, and in the middle of a diner, and hugged him back in earnest.
“Baby, I don’t ever want you to think that I’m not happy because of you. You are the thing that makes me happiest in the world, as long as I have you I don’t need anything else.” he said gently to her.
“That’s not true though. I want you fall in love and have someone who makes you happy that way, like Aunt Kono and Uncle Adam. Everybody needs that kinda love Danno, you know it.”
“I know, Monkey, and I’ve had it. I had it with your mom. But Grace there’s something I need you to know, and it’s very important.” He let go enough to take both her hands in his and look her in the eye, she’s growing up too fast, as much as it pained him to admit it, she was becoming an adult. “Grace, there is nothing I would love more in the world than to let you stay a little girl forever, and let you keep believing in fairytales and happily ever after, but I can’t. And I don’t want you to stop believing in those things, never, because they’re wonderful and they make life worth living; but there’s gonna come a time, sooner than I’d like, where you’re gonna have to learn how to dream with your eyes wide open so you don’t get hurt. And when you do you’re gonna realize that one day you are gonna meet someone who is gonna turn your whole world upside down. You’re gonna fall in love with them crazy, passionately, like nothing you’ve ever felt before. And the sad truth you’re gonna realize is that, that person may not be who you spend the rest of your life with. I mean, they could be, some people get lucky like that. But some people, for whatever reason, they just...don’t.”
“What do you do then?” Grace asked, the innocence of her voice tearing at his heart.
“You don’t let if define you. You take all that love and give it to the people who love you back, your family, your friends, all those good people in your life who make you happy. And you keep going, because that’s the kinda love that lasts forever. And if you have that, you’ll be ok.”
Grace nodded, and buried face into his chest for another hug.
“I love you Monkey. So, so, very much. ”
“I love you too Danno.” Grace whispered. “I always will.”
End.
Notes from Jill: Hi friends, so here’s that one shot I promised like a week ago. Still working on your ‘20 Follower, WOOT!’ present. I know I’m slow, and I’m sorry.
Anywho, some Daddy Danno feels, (my faviorte kind) based of the season 5 deleted scene that basically confirms that Danny and what’s-her-face are over. True it’s technically not established cannon, because it was a deleted scene, but he didn’t bring her to the wedding and Steve during their first cargument of the season: “You are alone. And you’re always miserable.” which basically supports that they’re over. And if Lenkov won’t give us the official word, then I’ll write a fic about it!
Hey :) how're you? I'm hoping you might know a fic I'm looking for on AO3. It's McDanno obviously. Steve is in the reserves and has to leave 5-0. But he sends pictures of the stars to Grace every night and all he can talk about is Danny and everyone just wants him to shut up about his perfect lover and kid and he gets confused because he's with Cath not Danny. But in the end Cath makes him realise he's been in love with Danny all along. I've been looking for 2 years! Please help!
I do recognise this but I can’t find it at the moment. Maybe someone else can help?
Two actually. The first is I mislabeled Part 7 of “One for the Money” as ‘Part 6′. Sorry about that. It’s fixed, link right here so you don’t have to dig for it:

The second is going to cause a minor delay because I actually have to write something now. In expanding this into a longer series, I had to move the very last part of where the original story ended. Basically, Steve gets a sinister phone call for Shepherd explaining his motives, (what can I say the guy loves mind games), and a somewhat veiled ‘I’m not done and you’ll never catch me.’ threat. So that’s now at the very end of the whole 4 installment series, which is fine because it’ll build suspense, I hope.
BUT when I was editing the final scene, I realized in taking the phone call out I was also removing the explanation of how Steve got exposed to the toxin in the first place, and there would be no reasonable way to work it in. So I had to come up with a whole new explanation that would fit, I spent the day researching toxins and poisons, and I think I’m probably on about 10 different government watch lists now, but I found the solution!
I’m going to try and write that tonight and edit/post it on Monday, because to be honest it’s 4th of July weekend and I’m of age, so my personal sobriety is going out the window in a few hours. Thanks for all the continuing ‘Likes’ and support! Ya’ll have made this budding fic writer feel a lot less out of place.
-XOXO
Jill
I’m not even sure what is going on right now. I just logged on and suddenly I have all these notifications and people are following me and just...wow. Thank you to everyone who has suddenly read and liked my work, and a big thank you to h50fics for reblogging them, I’m truly honored that you did, and words are honestly failing me right now. Just, thank you so very much, I hope everyone is enjoying, and will continue to enjoying my little Five-0 story corner. I’m about to post One for the Money part III, I’m sorry for the delay, I make my living as a lifeguard and swim instructor so summer is obviously a busy time but I’m gonna try twice as hard to keep up with it, cause knowing people want to read it is a serious motivator!
