angelgazing: (h5-0 - smiling the smile of the smitten)

this post doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up

I am having a day. This is a day of random incoherent rage, but whatever, I'm working on it. The internet makes all the things better, right?

It helps that The Inception Anon Love Meme is still going strong. It's fabulous to know that there are people out there who really just want to make someone else feel better about themselves. There's something to be said for making someone else smile. The whole thing just warms my cold, dead heart. ♥♥♥

I am totally going to have to do a second part to the Steve/Danny pimping post. Partly because I was unaware that I was writing a primer, and partly because I managed to miss art in the last post. But look, look at Steve and Danny. Look how happy they are. Don't you want them to keep smiling and being happy and building sandcastles with Grace? *coughs* The point here, is if you have any Hawaii Five-0 recs, be they fic or art or comms, please for the love of god hand them over.

Seriously, though, seriously, I want the story where Danny gets hurts and Rachel flips out again and threatens to take custody back to court because clearly his life is a danger to Grace, so Steve is like, NO, NO, I GOT THIS. And in order to seem like Danny's is a stable environment he and Danny get married, and Danny moves into Steve's house--all while still recovering from like, a GSW that means Steve goes back and forth from "omg wtf you can't do that" to "stop being such a baby" because he's Steve. And Mary is pissed that she missed the wedding, and Chin is just smug because he called it, and Kono is like getting into fights at even the hint that someone is going to give Steve and Danny shit about being married (though mostly everyone is just like... and this is different how?). And then they figure their shit out and stop pretending like they're only pretending to be totally married. And Rachel is like, well finally, be by at seven for Grace on Friday, would you?

I'm pretty sure seeing the prompt or whatever like this on [livejournal.com profile] foxxcub's LJ is the entire reason I ended up watching this show. I want this story so much I can't stand it.

WHAT STORY DO YOU WANT TO SEE, F-LIST?

...I was going to link you to a few things from my saves on delicious, only to realize that i have 175 h50 saves. Holy shit. When did that even happen? of course, 150 of those are steve/danny.
So, imma pull a cop out move here and just say When All of New York City Misses You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/139057) by leupagus and sutlers, since that is my default rec for anyone looking into this fandom. and then this one (http://community.livejournal.com/wordsiate/2669.html) just because.
and then the one where Danny tells Grace bedtime stories that are about Steve (http://community.livejournal.com/hawaii5_0slash/235466.html).
And the one of hammock cuddling and then frottage. (http://lantean-drift.livejournal.com/26266.html)

Also, I feel like there is at least a fic where Danny gets hurt and Steve just moves him into his house and Danny later realizes that steve ninja-ed them into living together...I swear I saved that somewhere...
um. there's at least woke-up-married (http://pineapple-infested.dreamwidth.org/292.html?thread=113956) fic?
while I spend another rest of my life attempting to find this thing that I know is in here somewhere?

edit for the third time because I fail at life, BUT, I found what I was thinking of: Down the Shore Everything's All Right (http://archiveofourown.org/works/140407) by thehoyden. and I only passed it 18 times!

Ahahaha, okay, yes, I have read the one where Steve ninjas them into living together so many times. So, so many times. It's just that I love that trope so much I can never get enough of it. I want all of the hurt/comfort. And all of the accidentally married fic. And all of the fake!married fic. BASICALLY I WANT ALL OF THE FIC. Allll of it.

Thank you for the links!

I pretty much have all the links to pretty much all the existing fic.

ALL OF THE FIC. WE SHOULD BE HAVING IT. WITH CAKE. WEDDING CAKE. FROM STEVE AND DANNY'S WEDDING. :D

OH MY GOD CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ARGUMENTS THEY HAVE OVER THEIR WEDDING CAKE? ♥________♥

Ha, yes. Really, it was all danny's fault for deciding to set out the ground rule that pineapple shouldn't be involved in anyway. Because Steve suddenly developed a taste for pineapple upsidedown cake and claimed it was a family AND island tradition, like Danny couldn't tell his bullshit face from a mile away.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL Part of me just wants Steve to be like, no, no it must be gluten-free! And have less sugar! And really, can't we just get a veggie tray? And Danny is like ONE MORE WORD AND I WILL HAVE IT DEEP-FRIED LIKE A TURKEY. And Steve is like if you insist on deep-frying a turkey at Thanksgiving you should tell me now so we can just forget this before we put down all the deposits. That's a deal breaker, Danno.

Because I like it when they fight? heh

this is especially funny because, I am writing a fill for a prompt my friend gave me, and I have a part where Danny threatens to deep-fry the cake. :D (stever so has no room to talk, given the content os his freezer. candy and safeway lean pizza possibly of the microwave variety? does this man understand what fresh food is?)

lol, that's why steve/danny is really an ot3 of steve/danny/bickering.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I wondered if that was all fanon or not. I had to go back and watch that episode. /o\ FRESH FOOD TAKES TIME AND PLANNING. STEVE DOESN'T HAVE ONE AND ISN'T GREAT AT THE OTHER, OKAY.

Seriously, best OT3 ever.

BESIDES. IT USUALLY SAY SOMETHING LIKE "EATING RIGHT" ON IT. LABELS DON'T LIE. THE BOX ISN'T DEEP-FRIED!

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Also, also, also, how much do I love that Steve is a cheap-ass? He tries to get deals on the wood to fix his house! He buys everything Wal-Mart brand. He cons Danny into buying him drinks... Okay, that one's just in the hopes that Danny will realize it was a date, but whatever.

Maybe he's saving for the honeymoon? Either way, didn't stop him from that hotel weekend he got Danny and Grace...

Oh man...the wallet thing is brilliant! Too bad Danny caught on to the wrong thing with that one.
ahaha, well obviously, he'd spend money on important things. Psh, food, lack of bullet holes in your walls, who cares about those things?

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Danny is a great detective, until it comes time to detect Steve's feelings about boning him. It makes Steve despair of his life not just a little bit sometimes. Then he has to go swim for a while.

Of course, Danny ruins his progress by marching in with crumbs and attitude the next morning, so whatever. It's really no wonder Steve has some frustration to take out on criminal types. Really.

I WANT TO SEE ALL THE STORIES fsdakjl;a, don't make me choose, please don't make me choose. But if I had to choose, Steve and Danny getting married is pretty much impossible to beat me for me. FAKE MARRIED, I mean, is there anything better? (No).

I haven't read much Hawaii Five-0 fic yet, but I did read Mirabella's veela!Danny fic (http://mirabellafic.dreamwidth.org/3871.html), which I am sure everyone already has read, but still. Here it is again, for good measure.

I hope the day becomes less ragey for you, bb. <3

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I WANT THEM ALL TOO, NANCE. ALLLL OF THEM. I COULD NEVER MAKE YOU CHOOSE. ♥ Seriously there is nothing better than fake married. Nothing. Not a thing int he world. Also, HI, fancying seeing you over in this corner of fandom. :DDD

God, the veela!Danny fic just kills me. It builds the tension so well, and is hot as hell and still manages to have awesome one-liners.

It did, it did get better. Thank you, bb. ♥

I just want the TIME to write my OWN damn story about Steve in prison for stealing drug money to save Chin and Danny going undercover as a guard to protect him.

I STILL ONLY HAVE TWO PAGES. IT'S BEEN A MONTH.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Duuuude I totally want that story now, too!

CURSE YOU LIFE, WHY MUST YOU BE SO DISTRACTING? D:

I WILL. I AM. Besides, from this point on I'm going to have everyone blaming me. TAKE THIS ONE, ALEESHA, I BEG OF YOU.

Also, also, WHAT IS THIS I SAW ABOUT A TITLE FOR THE CROSSOVER? :DDDD

UGH IDEK BUT APPARENTLY THEY ARE ALL LIVING IN NEW JERSEY NOW. >.>

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
OH GOD ARE THERE SCENES WHERE DANNY GETS IRRATIONALLY ANGRY ABOUT STEVE TALKING ABOUT HAWAII LIKE HE JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF JERSEY AND GO BACK?

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

BUT IT'S BECAUSE HE'S TALKING SMACK ON JERSEY, NOT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT STEVE LEAVING.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
OF COURSE IT IS. BECAUSE HE TOTALLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT STEVE'S FEELINGS. SHUT UP, HE ONLY PASSED UP SEX FOR A FOOTBALL GAME THAT ONE TIME. AND ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW INTO IT STEVE WAS. DANNY HAD JUST HAD A LONG DAY, THAT'S ALL.

I want to see *that* story. Written by you. You know you're gearing up for it, don't even pretend.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahahaha I don't know! I don't know though, because when I attempt plot things tend to get sort of awful. THAT IS ALWAYS MY DOWNFALL.

I am, however, gearing up to write the fic where Danny makes the mistake of walking past one of those adopt-a-pet things in the park, and Gracie wants a puppy and WHATEVER IRRELEVANT FACT, Danny decides that Steve obviously needs this puppy. To give him something to care about! So he'll stop jumping in front of bullets if he has to get home to feed the dog! And to prove he can keep something other than himself alive, because Danny's not really convinced he's even very good at that! Not because Gracie falls in love and he can't have a dog at his apartment. Not because he thinks Steve is maybe lonely. And so not because the puppy was making a face that Steve makes when he really, really, really wants the last cup of coffee but isn't going to ask Danny for it.

Then Grace names the puppy Justin Bieber, because she's eight, and Steve really should've known better than to let her pick. Because it sticks. Danny is all Biebs! And Steve is all J-Dog! And the dog makes them sit right next to each other on the couch and chews on Danny's ties and WHATEVER THERE IS A PUPPY AND THEY ALL MAKE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY THE END.

[identity profile] professorkatze.livejournal.com 2011-02-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
FUCK. YES.
But it is not all magically perfect at first! Because after Steve finds yet another tall building to almost drop someone off the side of, Danny gets to thinking that maybe he made a mistake after all! Maybe the puppy is in danger! Maybe he should sneak by after work to see that the poor thing is not being horribly mistreated!
And it turns out Steve is like superdaddy but with puppies (but eventually with Grace, too, because Grace totally won the daddy lottery)! And Danny learns that being gruff is how Steve expresses *aff~ec~tion*!
Or, what he sees is that the puppy is being completely neglected because Steve is almost afraid of it! Because he just doesn't know how to treat things likes more than he thinks he should! And Danny teaches him how to looooooove. Through the puppy. Which he has to show Steve how to raise properly, obvs.
Or! The puppy is fed and watered, but other than keeping it alive Steve basically neglects it! (He doesn't give it away because it's a gift from Danny and he can't bring himself to, tho he tells himself it's only because he doesn't want to see Danny's stupid smirking I-told-you-so face). So Danny teaches him the importance of, like, hugs. For the good of dogkind.
THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL IN PUPPIES, WHUT. YOU HAVE TO WRITE THIS. HAVE TO. I AM DYING ALREADY.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL

If I write the story the closest it will come to angst is when Steve trains the puppy to be a police dog and Chin suggests they actually use the dog for that purpose, and Steve is just like no. No way, not a chance. And Danny is like THERE IS NO WAY ARE YOU, CRAZY YOU ARE NOT USING OUR DOG IN A POLICE INVESTIGATION, at Steve. And Steve is like I JUST SAID NO, WHAT THE HELL, DANNY. And Danny is like, I realize that now, yes, but IT IS A HABIT TO YELL AT YOU. You trained Beibs as a police dog in the first place! And Kono and Chin are like... Biebs? And Steve is like TO PROTECT GRACE. I trained him to protect Grace, not to use in an active investigation, Danny, Jesus! And Danny doesn't realize it at the time, but he totally wants to swoon a little.

IDK WHAT YOU EVEN MEAN CLEARLY THIS IS A SITUATION RIDDLED WITH ANGST? I MEAN, DANGER TOWARD THE PUPPY IS IMPLIED. THIS IS SRS BZNS!
AND SWOONING. SWOONING CAN BE V DANGEROUS. AND ANGSTY. WHAT IF DANNY HIT HIS HEAD ON THE WAY DOWN TO THE PERFECT SWOON? STEVE WOULD HAVE TO FIND A RAINY WINDOW TO BROOD AGAINST, AND IN HAWAI'I THAT CAN BE DIFFICULT! D:

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2011-02-18 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL THAT IS THE FIRST TIME DANNY ADMITS IT IS THEIR DOG. PREVIOUSLY THEY HAVE ALL THESE ~ARGUMENTS OVER WHOSE DOG IT IS. USUALLY WHEN THE DOG DOES SOMETHING BAD, LIKE CHEW ON DANNY'S TIES, OR CHEW ON DANNY'S SHOES, OR BRING SAND IN THE HOUSE.
