The Hawaii Five-0 Cliche Meme

Fake boyfriends, accidental marriages, and amnesia, OH MY!

Whatever your poison, whatever you favorite cliche, it's open and allowed here. Want to see Steve and Danny make out for cover and discover their ~true feelings? What about when they have to pretend to be boyfriends to keep cover? When they're forced to share a bed all ~platonic-like for weeks and keep waking up cuddling and then can't sleep without each other? Maybe Grace playing matchmaker? The one where everyone but them realizes they're married? Danny gets de-aged to six and Steve has to take care of him? Steve gets magicked into a tiny, angry kitten and/or dragon? They one where they must cuddle for warmth to survive?

Maybe that isn't your flavor. Maybe you want the one where Kono is a punk rock princess that keeps getting into trouble? Or where Chin loses his memory and thinks he's back on the HPD force. Maybe the one where Kono is secretly a criminal mastermind, working the team from the inside. Or where she has the chance return to her pro surfing career and must choose. How about one where Chin goes on an epic road trip?

There is no bad cliche! Whatever your favorite, I promise I want to read/see it, too.

Danny’s not sure what’s more soothing, Steve’s intermittent computer-key clicking or matching his steps to the baby’s breathing. Well, actually, the baby is far more soothing, and she makes the key-clicking almost tolerable.

Eventually the clicking stops and Steve says, “I could probably find her. The mom.”

Danny turns to find Steve watching him closely. He nods, because, “Yeah, you probably could. Hell, you could probably track her home if you left now, follow her footsteps through the dew and her scent on the breeze.” He doesn’t stop moving, but he lets his pacing bring him around in front of the desk. “But you have to consider a couple things, here. Not only would you be breaking the law--which doesn’t really faze you, I can be honest about that--not only would you be breaking the law, but you need to consider what you’d be doing to that woman, coming back to her like that.”

“She gave up her child, Danny,” Steve says, voice broken like he’s not sure how to even process it, “Just handed her to me, just like that.”

“You honestly think it was ‘just like that’? You look at me, you look at her,” Danny rubs up and down the baby’s back, “and you’re trying to tell me, with a straight face, that her mom handed her over easy?”

Steve swallows, hard, and asks, “Would y--”

“If I thought I couldn’t take care of her? If I couldn’t keep her safe, give her what she needed?” Danny’s guts twist with the thought of it, with the idea of giving up Grace before he’d even gotten to know her, but he has to be honest, “Yeah. I can tell you, it wouldn’t be easy. Her mom--we won’t ever know, okay? We aren’t supposed to know, but we have to trust, and she will have to trust that her mom did what she did for good reason.”

Steve nods, then, looking a little like he might understand, and he turns back to the screen. “It’s just,” he rumbles, “she didn’t tell me her name.”

Danny comes around behind the desk to see that Steve’s got most of the report filled out, but the ‘Child Name’ box is empty. “Her adoptive parents will probably change her name anyway,” he points out. “But you could always give her one. A little something to remember you by.”

“Or you could?” Steve asks, but before Danny can answer, the baby lets loose the long, gurgling-fart noise that signals the filling of the diaper. Steve leans away quickly and says, “Uh, Danno, I think that one’s for you.”

Every installment of this makes me smile. :)

THAT IS EXACTLY THE FACE STEVE IS MAKING, AT THE END THERE! *g*

*hugs you up*

This is just lovely!

Thank you, so much! (I've got another part finished, and more to come! But I'm sorry about how long it's taking to write...)

Fantastic! Will you be posting it here or in your journal?

(And don't you dare apologize for how "long" it's taking to write! Writing takes as long as it takes! I'm just thrilled that you are sharing it with us!)

*hugs you* Thanks, so much, for being understanding. :)

I'm going to keep posting the snippets as I get them finished in this thread (the next part is downthread here (http://angelgazing.livejournal.com/282008.html?thread=2314648#t2314648)), and I'm going to post in my journal/AO3, all together and cleaned up, when it's finally finished.

I have this thread bookmarked and I keep checking it every day and making clappy hands when I see you've added to it. *G* I'm SUCH a sucker for babyfic. :)

And I can just see Danny in my head so clearly, walking around the office with a tiny lump of sleeping baby pressed against his chest, doing the walk/bounce/shushing noise combination that only comes with the experience of endless 4 am feedings and sleepless nights of teething and the trauma of first colds...

It's kind of sickening how much I want them to get married, adopt a baby, buy a minivan and lose sleep worrying about whether or not they can get her into a good preschool. *g*

Thank you so much for checking back in--I'm sorry it's taking so long to get done, but I promise you I am still working on it. I very much appreciate your comments and cheering! (And yeah, Danny + sleeping baby = OVARIES EXPLODING. SRSLY.)

let's be honest, I've never met a cliche I didn't like
