I just read all the stuff on your Five-0 fic meme and I'm officially a new fan! Why aren't you on AO3? Or are you under a different name there?
Well welcome(?) (is that the proper greeting?) It’s always nice to hear from new readers! I’m not on AO3 because while I’ve seen it in passing I’m not quite sure what it is. Would someone care to explain it to me? Is that where the rest of the Five-0 fic writers are gathered? Is it anything like Fanfic.net? Cause I’ve been to fanfic.net only once, and, in the imortal words of Max:
"I couldn't tell which hair products were yours and which were Grace's"!!!! Chin Ho Kelly you sassy lil' s***! That was a good one. And the stargazing bedtime story was so sweet, actually that whole scene was! I was kinda hoping we'd hear more from Shepherd though. I can't figure him out, is he after Steve and Five-0 as an extension or is he after Five-0 as a whole? Can't wait for the next one. Keep shining Jilly!
Hahaha, thanks friend! I got a kick out of writing that one so I’m glad to hear the joke went over well. Chin Ho Kelly is a little sass-master and I love him for it. I’m also glad to hear that the ending went over ok, I was a little iffy about it, but I wanted to leave it on a more peaceful tone after what I’d put Danny through. I purposefully put his POV into present tense to up the ante in just how terrified he was, not entirely sure if I succeed, but I love Danny Williams more than hot fudge sundaes and I needed him to be ok in the end. We will be seeing MUCH more of Shepherd in the coming story, he’ll be taking a much more active (and darker) role in psychologically torturing Kono, like what he did with Steve. He was able to take a step back with Danny, because he didn’t need to get into his head like he did (and will need to) for the rest of the team. All the had to do was exploit Danny’s preexisting condition.
I promis I know exactly who Shepherd is, what he wants, and why he’s coming after who he’s coming after, but for now I guess I’ll just have to keep you guessing. Mawhahaha mine is an evil laugh!
Thanks so much for dropping by my ask box, getting messages makes my day!
I love reading your stories. You write all the characters really well, especially McDanno. Are they your favorites to write? I kinda hope so because I can't wait for more!
Yes in the broTP sense (I don’t ship them romantically). I’ve always found Steve and Danny’s voices easy to write in, which is what first inspired me to start jotting things down. But when I really get down to it what I enjoy most is writing for the whole team together because that’s what first attracted me to the show and it’s something I’ve really felt has been missing this season. I also enjoy writing from Danny’s perspective, probably because we’re both misanthropic and have generalized anxiety, so he’s easy for me to relate to. Hope you continue to enjoy the Perfect Ohana sweetness (including McDanno) to come!
Look at you all lit fic blog now! I love fic link and that your works in one place so I can read it in order! Also 'series masterpostS'? Plural? I'm intrigued and excited! Any chance we could get a WIP list? Love your blog and love the new icon! Keep on shining!
First of all thank you, it took forever to get it all organized but I think it was well worth the effort! And you have no idea how hard it was to find an picture of all of them looking cute and happy as opposed to intense and badass.
I had to google what a WIP list was, I’m that bad at the internet (I’m in my 20′s I SWEAR! My very first concert was Aaron Carter and Dream Street! #90′s baby street cred) but now that I know what it is happy to oblige.
Jilly’s Works In Progress list
Serie(s)
-Two for the Show is wrapping up. I’ve got the team stuff and the conclusion all planed out, but there this one really big introspective part with Danny that I want to get just right. After that it’s onto Three to Get Ready which is Kono’s round and I honestly don’t know how long it’s going to take me to write something like that for precious little sunshine princess Kono, while simultaneously having all this shit being thrown at her on the actual show. Once I get over that, it bangs right into Four to Go which is Chin’s story and the conclusion.
-Untiled AU Somebody please stop me now because I am being plagued nonstop by this all consuming multi chapter AU fic from Danny’s POV where the core four are a family of run away street kids. Basically Danny’s about fifteen and has lived his whole life running away from foster and group homes because he was abandon as a baby. Something really awful happens to make him want out of New Jersey and when the chance come to relocate to Hawaii of all places he jumps on it despite the deal that gets him there being ‘the less you know the better’ variety. (I’ll give you a hint that it has to do with Matt, except in this universe they’re not actually brothers, the just happen to have the same last name, which is part of what makes Danny useful). So basically the story opens with Danny having just come to Oahu, completely on his own in an unfamiliar city having to fend for himself. He gets caught in the cross hairs of a street gang but is saved by Steve and Chin who take him in and make him a part of their family. Danny resists it at first, but eventually grows to love his new Ohana (sweet, innocent, mini-Kono has a lot to do with this). Unfortunately thousands of miles and an entire ocean aren’t enough to keep Danny’s past from catching up with him. Seriously please stop me before this takes over my life.
Stand Alones
- I have about 700, 100th epsiode fics that I’m going to try to meld into once cohesive piece.
- I really want to do a Team Cuz (Chin and Kono) one about when Kono blew out her knee and Chin being there for her while she tries to rebuild her whole life.
- ‘Come Home Soon’
I need to decide if I’m gonna tweak this to match the current cannon, or leave it as is. Basically Steve comes home after being recalled into active duty only to find out that through what seems to be a mistake, he was presumed to be KIA. [I basically wrote this because I was out of wine, and still bitter because John didn’t punch Sherlock, so I took it out on the characters who’s voices I feel like I can actually write in. (So if you’re also a fan of BBC Sherlock, yes, that does mean that Danny’s first act in this story is to punch Steve in the face.) ]
Your McKono/Steve on pain killers fic was adorable. So glad to see you writing again. :)
Thanks friend! I’m glad you like it. It feels great to be writing again. That single fic opened up the flood gates and now I have a million things that I want to write all at once! I’m now fully aware that I have to do a Team Cuz (my name for Chin and Kono) story about when Kono blew out her knee and Chin being there for her through it all. Then I also realized I have this accidental trope in my fics where Steve doesn’t like having ice packs on him that I subconsciously took from a single moment in an epsiode back in Season 1, so I totally have to do something with that too. (When my brain is feeling dark enough.) And on top of that I still have to finish the series I’m working on right now that I took a break from, plus my large file folder of all ready completed fics that need polishing up before they’re ready to see the light of the internet, and now I’m also being plagued non-stop by the begins of what promises to be an all consuming multi-chapter AU from Danny’s POV where the core four are a family of run away street kids. So basically it’s a good thing pumpkin spice lattes are back because I get the feeling I’m gonna be spending a lot of time in Starbucks (which is my happy place to write)!
I'm not one of those people who normally nags fic writers so pls don't think that's what this is. I just wanted to say we haven't heard from you in a while and I miss your fics. You have a lot of talent and I love that you write about Team Ohana as opposed to specific ships, even when ships are involved. We need more of that if you ask me. I saw your personal post from a while back and I hope thing get better and you'll come back soon. *hugs*
Aw, thank you so much. You have no idea how nice that is to hear. *hugs back* It always makes my heart smile to know that people are actually enjoying what I’m writing.
I’ll totally admit that I’ve been letting my personal life zap my creative juices, but tonight after reading this I opened up word and just did a little one shot to help get myself going again. It took a while to get started but once I did it really got things flowing again and I gave myself a whole host of new ideas, so I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for helping me out of my slump. <3 Infinite hugs! XOXOXO Jill
Jill! Your 5X6 Coda was AMAZING! You made me cry (in a good way). All the backstory stuff was so on point! You are a crazy good writer! I just have a question though, why was Danny so concerned that he'd 'stopped shivering' towards the end of the story? Keep it up, your stories are awesome. PS 'Daniel Jacob Williams', middle name head cannon accepted. <3 :)
Thank you so much! I seriously never know what to say to these kinds of messages because it still blows me away that people take the time to read my stuff let alone send me a message about it. Really, thank you! The reason Danny was so concerned that he thought he stopped shivering is because it’s an indicator of advancing hypothermia and hypothermia seriously can happen in warm climates if the condition are right. (I spent sometime lifeguarding in Florida and we were trained for treating hypothermia as well as heat stroke). Shivering is your body’s way of trying to keep itself warm, so when you stop shivering it’s bad news because your body is going numb and giving out, your heart rate is slowing down and you’re close to going into shock. BUT as we all know Danny is a huge hypochondriac and he was no where near that stage. (If Steve hadn’t gone looking for him, it would have been a different story, but that’s not my story.) Also, what Steve said about Danny not being able to feel much over the pain in his ankle is also true. Your body compartmentalizes pain so that you feel the worst first, and coming from someone who’s sprained her ankle twice, that’s a pretty overpowering ow.
Hope that answered your question, again thank you so much for the kind words! It really, really does mean a lot to me.
The coda to 5x6 was AMAZINGLY you are an awesome writer keep it up <3
Thank you so much! Really, that means a lot, thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m honestly so overwhelmed with happiness that I words are failing me.
