Alright then 📙
put a version of the book emoji in my inbox, and i'll explain the plot of a fanfic that i haven't written, but i want to write!
okay is this a very original idea? no it is not but i haven't been able to get rid of the idea, so i should actually very much get around to writing it
this is all because i genuinely love the idea of things happening in bars, and i don't think we have even close to enough bar!aus for, well, anything
ok but hear me out and if you think this sounds too much like cheers then oops [ mentions injuries, alcoholism ]
steve is still a former navy seal, but due to a traumatic brain injury and anxiety, he gets a medical discharge and is shipped back to hawaii, his title then being former navy seal. he copes poorly, turns to alcohol and copes even more poorly, and kind of on a whim, ends up buying a bar. he eventually gets help, gets clean, but holds onto the bar, and to this day he still has the bottle cap from the last bottle of beer he drank (it's a poor, worn-out longboard bottle cap)
danny never became law enforcement. instead, he kept on with the baseball track, and became the hero of major league baseball, having come through the academy of the new jersey jackals, before being signed by the yankees, nicknamed "mayday" because whenever he started on the bench, he'd come on and save the day at the mayday signal. however, a rough episode on the field and three acl surgeries later, he's had to put his career on the shelf, and has turned to working with papers about sports, specialising in baseball (naturally).
when they start a baseball history series, he is sent to hawaii on a mission to write an in-depth article about the hawaii islanders, a former hawaiian baseball team that hasn't been active since 1987, and after meeting one of the old coaches at this bar, he decides to sit there and write down elements of his article every night (though it takes him about a week to realise that maybe he's returning to the bar to keep the ruggedly handsome bartender company, more than he's interested in actually writing the article)
i quickly put together a little scene here:
"what's the story here, new guy?" steve asked, a tea towel slung over his shoulder as he sorted the clean glasses back onto the right shelves.
danny huffed, sinking down on the uncomfortable bar stool that somehow had become his over the past couple of days. "a thirsty guy walks into a bar. you finish it, barkeep."
"take it your luck with the islanders' coaches are out, then?" steve chuckled, flicking the tap on the hanalei ipa as he filled a glass, placing it in front of danny with a thud. "on the house, mayday. and do know my offer to pull some strings around here still stands."
"it's my article."
"i'm just offering to help." steve raised his hands in surrender, shrugging down the tea towel to wipe some droplets of beer from the polished surface of the bar. "when all comes to it, it's your choice."
danny chewed on the inside of his lip for a moment, hand coming to wrap itself around the cool glass, the dew causing his fingertips to get slippery. "alright, you're on. what can you help me with?"

Drugstore cowboy, dangerous liasons, e.t.
Thanks for the ask!
Dangerous Liaisons: I would love to learn German. I know that sounds weird because no one speaks German besides people in Germany, Austria and I think.. Liechtenstein? I don’t know, I just think it’s a super cool language. Unfortunately, my school doesn’t have German class (of course), so I’m left to try and learn it on my own.
E.T.: I don’t know if this means physical or something else, so I guess I’ll do both.. I’m pretty tall (nearly, if not at, 6ft), which is sort of awkward when around other people my age, but it is great when it comes to reaching things! Mentally, I don’t know if this is weird, but I’m lucky that a lot of things math wise come easy to me.
Drugstore Cowboy: ..A lot of baseball players. Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, etc. I just find them super cool. But, non-baseball player wise, a ton of writers and actors pique my interest. J.D. Salinger, Danny Kaye, Audrey Hepburn, and Dalton Trumbo are all super interesting. John F. Kennedy Jr.’s sort of cool, too!

Orlando Jones
Tumblr media
Orlando Jones (born April 10, 1968) is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is known for being one of the original cast members of the sketch comedy series MADtv, for his role as the 7 Up spokesman from 1999 to 2002, and for his role as the African god Anansi on Starz's American Gods.
Early life
Jones was born in Mobile, Alabama, on April 10, 1968. His father was a professional baseball player in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He moved to Mauldin, South Carolina, when he was a teen and graduated from Mauldin High School in 1985. One of his early acting experiences involved playing a werewolf in a haunted house to help raise money for the junior/senior prom. Jones enrolled in the College of Charleston, South Carolina. He left in 1990 without finishing his degree.
To pursue his interest in the entertainment industry, Jones, together with comedian Michael Fechter, formed a production company, Homeboy's Productions and Advertising. Together Jones and Fechter worked on several projects including a McDonald's commercial with basketball superstar Michael Jordan for the McDonald's specialty sandwich the "McJordan".
He scored his first Hollywood job in 1987, writing for the NBC comedy A Different World, on which he had a small guest role in the season five finale. During 1991-92, Jones penned the Fox series Roc and, in 1993, he co-produced The Sinbad Show. He also made a brief appearance on the FOX sitcom Herman's Head in 1992.
Career
MADtv
After hosting Fox's music series Sound FX, in 1994, Jones became one of the original nine cast members of MADtv. Unlike some of his fellow original repertory performers on MADtv, Jones came to the show with limited sketch comedy experience. However, his comedy writing and television producing skills proved to be valuable to the early success of the show.
Throughout the first two seasons of MADtv, Jones produced characters like the Cabana Chat band leader Dexter St. Croix and Reverend LaMont Nixon Fatback, the vocal follower of Christopher Walken. He was also noted for his impressions of Thomas Mikal Ford, Temuera Morrison, Warwick Davis, Danny DeVito, Michael Jai White, Eddie Griffin, and Ice Cube.
After two seasons on MADtv, Jones left the show to pursue a movie career. However, Jones returned to MADtv in 2004 to celebrate its 200th episode.
Other television projects
Aside from MADtv, Jones made many other television appearances. Perhaps his most popular and enduring television appearance was not in the form of a sitcom or television drama, but rather in a series of humorous commercials as the spokesperson for 7 Up where he gained wide recognition.
This exposure led to a plethora of opportunities for Jones. First, he hosted an HBO First Look special in 2000 and then, in 2003, Jones was given his own late night talk show on FX called The Orlando Jones Show. Although his talk show was short lived, Jones continued to make additional television appearances. In 2003, he appeared on The Bernie Mac Show and on Girlfriends. In 2006, Jones decided to return to television as one of the lead characters of ABC's crime drama The Evidence, as Cayman Bishop. He has also appeared in two episodes of Everybody Hates Chris, the first in 2007 as Chris's substitute teacher and the second in 2008 as Clint Huckstable, an allusion to the character Cliff Huxtable played by Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show.
In 2008, he appeared as Harold Wilcox, a violent veteran with PTSD, on New Amsterdam. In the first season of the show, Jones also starred on Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out. Jones was the first guest star on the show. Jones was the co-host of ABC's Crash Course (which was canceled after 4 episodes). On November 16, 2009, it was announced on TV Guide that Jones had been cast as Marcus Foreman, Eric Foreman's brother on House, appearing in the season six episode "Moving the Chains". In 2013, he was hired as a principal actor in the FOX television series Sleepy Hollow. The freshman drama opened to FOX's highest fall drama premiere numbers since the premiere of '24' in 2001.
From 2016 through 2019, Jones portrayed Mr. Nancy, aka the African god Anansi, in the Starz series American Gods.
Film projects
After leaving MADtv, Jones expanded his cinema resume. He appeared in a bit part in his first big screen film, In Harm's Way (1991), Jones then joined Larry David in the feature Sour Grapes (1998), playing the character of an itinerant man. Subsequently, he appeared in Woo (1990), Mike Judge's Office Space (1999), alongside fellow MADtv alumnus David Herman, and in Barry Levinson's praised drama, Liberty Heights (1999). Since then, Jones has appeared in Magnolia (1999), New Jersey Turnpikes (1999) and in Harold Ramis' Bedazzled (2000).
During the 2000s, Jones' career began to branch out. In addition to his witty appearances in the 7-Up campaigns, Jones played the role of Clifford Franklin in The Replacements (2000) and the horror film From Dusk till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter (2003). In 2002, Jones landed the lead role of Daryl Chase in the action-dramedy Double Take (2001), alongside Eddie Griffin, and worked with David Duchovny, Seann William Scott and Julianne Moore in Ivan Reitman's sci-fi comedy, Evolution (2001). Jones was also in the 2009 film Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant and he appeared as the computer Vox 114 in The Time Machine (2002). His other more recent films includes Biker Boyz (2003), Godzilla (2005), Runaway Jury (2003) and Primeval (2004). Jones appeared in an uncredited cameo and played in Grindhouse Planet Terror (2007 film).
In 2011 Jones appeared in the documentary film Looking for Lenny in which he talks about Lenny Bruce and freedom of speech. In 2012, Jones starred in Joe Penna's original interactive thriller series Meridian created in conjunction with Fourth Wall Studios.
Voice acting
Jones has been featured in many voice acting projects over the years. In 1993, Jones appeared in Yuletide in the 'hood and in 1998, he made a guest appearance in the animated comedy TV Series, King Of The Hill. More recently, he lent his voice to the TV series Father of the Pride and the video games Halo 2 as the marine Sergeant Banks as well as other black marines and L.A. Rush. In 2006, he co-created, produced and voice acted for the MTV2 animated series The Adventures of Chico and Guapo.
In early April 2013, it was largely thought that Jones would be taking Tyler Perry's place as Madea. This stemmed from Jones's own report that he would be taking over the role, and photography of himself impersonating Madea. This led to public outcry from fans. Perry later revealed, however, that this was an elaborate prank played by Jones, stating, "That was an April Fools' joke that HE did. Not true. And not funny. When I’m done with Madea, she is done."
Personal life
Jones married former model Jacqueline Staph in 2009. They have a daughter. In October 2011, Jones provoked controversy when he joked on Twitter that someone should kill former Governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. He apologized for the comment several days later.

LUCY on PASSWORD ~ Part 1
1963-1964
Tumblr media
“Password” is a game show created by Bob Stewart for Goodson-Todman Productions. The host was Allen Ludden, who had previously been well known as the host of the “G.E. College Bowl.” In the game, two teams, each composed of a celebrity player and a contestant, attempt to convey mystery words to each other using only single-word clues, in order to win cash prizes.
“Password” originally aired from 1961 to 1967 on CBS, along with weekly prime time airings. An additional 1,099 daytime shows aired from 1971 to 1975 on ABC. The show's regular announcers were Jack Clark and Lee Vines on CBS and John Harlan on ABC.
Tumblr media
Two revivals later aired on NBC: “Password Plus” (originally titled “Password '79”) from 1979 to 1982, and “Super Password” from 1984 to 1989, followed by a primetime version on CBS from 2008 to 2009 “Million Dollar Password.” All of these versions introduced new variations in game play.
youtube
The theme song used on “Password” from 1961 to 1963 was called "Holiday Jaunt," composed by Kurt Rehfeld. That theme was followed later by "You Know the Password," composed by Bob Cobert, which was used from 1963 until the CBS version's cancellation in 1967 (listen above). When the show returned on ABC in 1971, Score Productions composed "The Fun of It." The theme used later in that version's run, beginning in 1974, was called "Bicentennial Funk," which was used until the ABC version's finale in 1975.
“Password” was most often taped in New York at CBS-TV Studio 52 (later converted to the Studio 54 disco) and CBS-TV Studio 50 (the Ed Sullivan Theater) until the end of the daytime run in 1967. The original CBS version made annual trips to CBS Television City during the 1960s. Mark Goodson opposed a permanent move to Hollywood so the network canceled the series.
Tumblr media
The Milton Bradley Company introduced the first home version in 1962 and subsequently released 24 editions of the game until 1986. Owing to common superstition, these releases were numbered 1-12 and 14-25, skipping 13. It was tied with “Concentration” as the most prolific of Milton Bradley's home versions of popular game shows. Milton Bradley also published three editions of a “Password Plus” home game between 1979 and 1981, but never did a version for “Super Password.” Lucille Ball was fond of playing the home game. 
In 2013, TV Guide ranked it #8 in its list of the 60 greatest game shows ever.
Tumblr media
“Password” ~ September 26, 1963
Lucille Ball (Celebrity Player)
Gary Morton (Celebrity Player)
[Note: No video footage of this episode was available for preview]
Tumblr media
“Password” ~ December 26, 1963
Allen Ludden (Host)
The program is sponsored by Tame hair care products. The top prize is $500 and the consolation prize is $50.
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball says that next Monday on “The Lucy Show” she will conduct a 45 piece orchestra. She is referring to “Lucy Conducts the Symphony” (TLS S2;E13) on on December 30, 1963.  
LUCY’S PARTNERS
James Waldo from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is in a stock broker training program.
Mary Ellen MacInally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a student who plans to enter the ministry.
William Sexton from Evansville, Indiana, has been married for a year and a half.
Ralph Jones from Westfield, New Jersey, is studying mathematics at Union Junior College.
Tumblr media
Gary Morton says that he, too, will be on “The Lucy Show,” in an episode that Lucy had written for him about his favorite sport, golf.  He is referring to “Lucy Takes Up Golf” (TLS S2;E17) airing on January 27, 1964. In it, Gary plays Gary Stewart, Lucy Carmichael's ‘golf nut’ boyfriend.
GARY’S PARTNERS
Margery Blom from New Orleans, Louisiana, is a newlywed.
Robert Davidson from Rego Park, New York, has an insurance firm in Manhattan.
Jackie Lane from Nashville, Tennessee, is enjoying her trip to New York.
Sigrid Newman from New York City is a registered nurse at the New York Hospital.
TRIVIA
In round four, the password “TINKLE” makes everyone giggle. Ludden is relieved when Jones successfully guesses it in the second try.
When the password is “PROPOSAL” and the clue is “MARRIAGE,” Lucy's mind immediately goes to “DIVORCE.”  Lucille Ball divorced Desi Arnaz in the spring of 1960.
At the end, Lucy says her son [Desi Jr.] beats both her and Gary when they play at home. Ludden makes the usual mistake of guessing that her son is named Ricky. Lucy corrects him, smiling. Ludden says that Vivian Vance has challenged Lucy to a game. Vance appeared on the game twice previously, once in 1961, and a second time in November 1963, where she likely issued the challenge. A year later (September 24, 1964 - see below), the challenge was accepted.  
THE RESULTS
Lucy and James Waldo win the first round.
Gary and Robert Davidson win the second round, despite Gary saying he’s not being sure of what several of the words meant.
Lucy and William Sexton win the third round.
Lucy and Ralph Jones win the fourth round.
Tumblr media
“Password” ~ May 7, 1964
Allen Ludden (Host)
Bern Bennett (Announcer)
The program is sponsored by Salem Filter Cigarettes.
THE PLAYERS
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball is introduced as the start of television, motion pictures, and the Broadway stage. She had just finished her second season of “The Lucy Show.” Allen Ludden implies that there was a question if it would be renewed for a third season. Lucy reminds the audience that the show will start at 9:00pm in the fall, a half hour later.  
Tumblr media
Gary Morton is introduced as the star of television and supper clubs. Ludden talks with Gary and Lucy about golf, Gary's favorite pasttime.
Tumblr media
Lucie Arnaz is from Los Angeles, California. She is 13 (in July) and in seventh grade. She doesn't know what she wants to do when she grows up.
Tumblr media
Desi Arnaz Jr. is from Los Angeles, California. He is 11 and in sixth grade and plays little league baseball.  He is a center fielder but would like to play second base.  
In round one, Lucy's partner is Desi Jr. and Gary plays with Lucie.
In round two, Lucy's partner is Lucie, and Gary plays with Desi Jr.
In round three, Lucy's partner is Gary, and Desi Jr. and Lucie play together. The children are playing for their allowances; a quarter a point.  
TRIVIA 
This episode was taped in at CBS Television City in Hollywood.
In round one, the password is “LEOPARD” and Lucy's clue is “STRIPED.”  She instantly realizes her mistake, as does the studio audience.
When the password is “HARP,” Desi Jr.'s clue is “MARX”, thinking of Harpo Marx, who made a guest appearance playing his namesake instrument on an episode of “I Love Lucy.” The audience audibly gasps at how clever Desi's clue is. Gary gets it right.
In the lightning round, the password is “THUNDER” and Gary's clue is “LIGHTNING,” to which Desi Jr. says “ROUND.” Ludden stops the clock, momentarily confused if Desi is just repeating the name of the game. In that same round, the password is “COWBOY” and Gary's clue is “GUNSMOKE.” Desi responds “CHESTER,” which is the first name of one of “Gunsmoke's” leading characters played by Dennis Weaver.
In the final round, the password is “CARROT” and Desi's clue is “RED.” He was probably thinking of his mother's hair, not the vegetable.
Tumblr media
THE RESULTS
Lucy and Desi Jr. win the first round.  
Gary and Desi Jr. win the second round.
Lucie and Desi Jr. win the third round.
All their winnings will go to a summer camp for underprivileged children.
In the final moments, Ludden says that Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Stewart will be on the show next week.  He gives a plea for helping the Peace Corps.
Tumblr media
“Password” ~ September 24, 1964
Allen Ludden (Host)
Jack Clark (Announcer)
The program is sponsored by Salem Filter Cigarettes.
THE PLAYERS
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball is introduced as the comedy star of television, motion pictures, and the Broadway stage. Lucy says the new time slot for “The Lucy Show” is 9 o'clock and that Vivian Vance is still with her on the show. She also mentions future guest stars like Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Danny Kaye, and Ann Sothern. The show's third season premiered three days earlier on CBS with “Lucy and the Good Skate” (TLS S3;E1).  
Lucy's first partner is James Horn from Hubbard City, Texas. A student, he spent the summer working at the Texas Pavilion at the New York World's Fair. Ludden says that the most popular day at the fair was 'Lucille Ball Day.' The event was held on Monday, August 31, 1964.
Tumblr media
Lucy's second partner, Vivian Vance, is introduced as “a housewife from Stamford, Connecticut.” This is indeed where Vance was living at the time, commuting to Los Angeles to do “The Lucy Show.” Vance's appearance is obviously a complete surprise to Lucy, and even to Morton, who is just as shocked to see her. She is playing for a charity called Medi Help.
In round three, Lucy is partnered with Peter Lawford and Gary with Vivian.
Gary Morton is introduced as the star of television and supper clubs. Gary promotes their 15-minute CBS radio show “Let's Talk To Lucy.”  As Lucy tells listeners, “Don't boil water or you'll miss it.” Morton is the show's producer and announcer. Dean Martin, Mrs. Dean Martin, Red Skeleton, Mrs. Red Skeleton, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are some of the upcoming guests.
Gary's first partner is Kelly Brummer from Denver, Colorado. She is a student with a merchandising major and a French minor, which confuses Lucy.
Tumblr media
Gary's second partner is Mr. Peter Lawford. At the time, Lawford was married to President Kennedy's sister, Patricia. Lawford had an uncredited role (voice over) in the 1945 film Ziegfeld Follies that starred Lucille Ball. He often appeared on Goodson-Todman's other panel shows “What's My Line?” and “To Tell the Truth.” His winnings will go to the Kennedy Library.  
TRIVIA
Trying to get her partner to say “FRECKLE” Lucy is chastised by Ludden to “watch her gestures.” Gary uses the clue “DAY” to get his partner to guess it, to no avail. He is referring to the popular singer and actress Doris Day, who famously had freckles.
As usual, Lucy is startled by Ludden's “Yes!” when she gets it right.  
When the password is “DRAPE” and the clue is “CURTAIN,” Lucy sings a bit of “Everything's Coming Up Roses” from the 1959 Broadway musical Gypsy: “Curtain up, light the lights...”  
During Vivian's entrance applause she and Lucy exchange some barely audible chat: 
Lucy: (to Vivian) “What a wonderful surprise. I was calling and wondering why you weren't home.” Vivian: “I wanted them to introduce me as Mrs. John R. Dodds.”  [Vivian's husband at the time.]
When the password is “PANTS,” Gary gives Lawford the clue “STRETCH” and he guesses correctly. Lucy says she would have thought girdle.
Ludden: (to Vivian) “Does Lucy have a lot of stretch pants?” Vivian: “Yeah.” Lucy: (chiding Vivian) “Don't tell him everything!”
As usual with Lucy, Ludden has to admonish her for gesturing too much.
Ludden: (to Lucy) “Watch those hands!” Vivian: “Oh, she cheats!” (laughs)
While Lawford is thinking about a clue, he tuts at Lucy and Vivian, thinking they are cheating.
Vivian: “Oh, no!  She said I look thinner. We didn't say a word about what was here.” (referring to the word card)
Ludden stops the clock momentarily when Gary inadvertently says the password during the lightning round.
Tumblr media
When the password is “FEMININE” and Lawford's clue is “MASCULINE,” Lucy guesses “VERILITY” and then makes a lewd gesture thrusting forward her stiffened arm and clenched fist. She immediately softens it. In a previous appearance she gave her husband the middle finger!
THE RESULTS
Lucy and James Horn win the first round.
Gary and Peter Lawford win the second round.
Gary and Vivian win the second round.
Ludden closes by promoting that Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Stewart will be his next celebrity guests.
Tumblr media
“Password” ~ November 12, 1964
Allen Ludden (Host)
The program is sponsored by Clairol and Bufferin.
THE PLAYERS
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball says “The Lucy Show” is on at a new time, 9:00pm. She promotes that later in the season, for three episodes, Ann Sothern will appear. Lucy says that they are trying to get Jean Arthur to guest star.  [This never happened.]
Tumblr media
Gary Morton promotes Lucy's radio show, “Let's Talk to Lucy.”
Tumblr media
Lucie Arnaz is 13 years old and in the 8th grade.
Tumblr media
Desi Arnaz Jr. is 11 and a half years old. He has a new record out for Reprise Record with Dino Martin and Billy Hinsche.
For round one, Lucy and Desi Jr. are partners against Gary and Lucie.  
For round two, Gary and Desi Jr. are partners against Lucy and Lucie.
For rounds three and four, Lucy and Gary are partners against Desi Jr. and Lucie.
TRIVIA
When the password is “FLEA,” Desi Jr. mistakenly thinks it means “RUN.” He realizes his error in the second clue, which he gives as “DOG.” Lucy says “We're going to have spelling lessons when we get home.” Lucy and Desi Jr. win the round. 
In the lightning round, Desi Jr. is startled by the word popping up from the desk. It quickly goes back in and pops back up again. 
While Lucy and Desi are playing, Gary unwittingly says the last clue “HUNGRY” even though he is not playing. Ball momentarily shoots her husband the middle finger!  [see above photo]
In round two, Ludden starts with the wrong team and shouts “Cut! Cut!” after hearing a voice from the booth. It is unclear whether this was edited out for broadcast, but was left in for the syndicated master print seen on the Game Show Network (GSN).  
Mother and daughter win round two. This time it is Lucille Ball who is startled by the pop-up lightning round passwords.
In round three, Lucie and Desi Jr. are playing for their allowance: 25 cents for each point they earn. Ludden says that they did this the last time they were on. Lucy says if they win too much, they can't have it all at once. The youngsters prevail.
Time runs out before the end of round four, but Lucy and Gary win $250 for their charity anyway. Lucy announces that all the prize money will go to a Child Guidance Center in Los Angeles. 
The announcer promotes that Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows will be next week’s guests. Promoting Desi's upcoming record Ludden says the titles are “We Know” and “Since You Broke My Heart” although Ludden mistakenly says “Your Heart”. Desi quickly corrects him. Although Desi said earlier that the record due to be released soon, Desi failed to realize that the program was pre-taped and would air ten days after the single debuted.
Coming Next!  LUCY on PASSWORD ~ Part 2 (1965-1987)

MCDANNO FIC REC LIST
okay so here’s a whole lot of fics, i tried to get a mixture in so i hope you enjoy xo
SENTINEL/GUIDE FICS
Care and Feeding of Lieutenant Commander Steven J. McGarrett by darkmoore 
[It took a parking garage falling onto Steve's head to bring out the Sentinel in him. It took Steve coming online for Danny to be able to claim his place as a Guide. But things are never as easy as they appear to be.]
Sensory Overload by darkmoore 
[Steve goes in sensory overload, Danny thinks he can't help and Catherine is about to lose her temper with these two stubborn idiots. Sentinel and Guide relations at their best ... ]
Everything He Wanted by Brumeier 
[Danny was a Guide who thought he could never bond, until he was called in to help a Sentinel in distress. And then everything changed.]
You’ve Got The Best Ass by Alliemackenzie28
[Danny is a Guide, but he's having trouble finding a match.]
Back To Back (They Faced Each Other) by harrycrewe
[Danny didn’t even realize that Steve was a sentinel when they first met. That probably said a lot right there about what kind of a guide Danny was.]
Sentinel And Guide by Elayna
[Every fandom needs a couple of Sentinel-fusion rewrites of the first episode, right? This is mine. I've only seen two episodes of The Sentinel, so this is my take on Sentinel fanon as generally found in Sentinel/SG:A fusions. I won't even pretend it's faithful to Sentinel canon, though I tried to not drift too far from H5-0 canon.]
DIFFERENT JOBS AU
Happiness is Homemade by ellievolia and sirona
[It's not easy, running a Jersey-style bakery in Hawai'i. Things get a little easier (and a whole lot more fun) once Danny meets Chin and Kono's friend, the one who enjoys leaning against his glass cases despite all of Danny's dire warnings, and starts food fights for no reason whatsoever.]
A Fielder’s Choice by Carryokee
 long af summary but basically the boys are baseball players
Ten Sessions by Leslie_Knope
[In which Danny hurts his knee, Steve is a physical therapist, and their worlds collide.]
A Jug Of Wine, A Trebuchet, and Thou by Siria
[In which Steve and Danny are medieval history professors.]
it's not what you're sure of (it's what you don't know) by somehowunbroken
[Art thief Steve McGarrett and his team come up against FBI Special Agent Danny Williams, and things spin wildly out of control from there.]
UNDERCOVER FICS
Beneath The Trident by kristen999  [Steve and Danny go undercover to investigate the death of a SEAL before a sensitive joint Special Forces’ operation. With Steve as the SEALs' new team leader and Danny as the reporter assigned to shadow him, Danny finally gets to see the hidden depths of the real Lt. Commander McGarrett.]
All The Way by VictoriaAGrey
[Danny has lost count of how many times he and Steve have used the sexual tension between them for undercover work, only for it to be bottled away after the op is over. With Saint Michael as his witness, that ends tonight.]
Ever Since I Met You by mymcdanno
[Written for forgetmenotswhynot on Tumblr, who asked for a day in the life of McDanno.]
 SOULMATE AU
Simple Facts by kurikuri  [“You don’t want a soulmate,” Steve says, like it’s a fact of life: the sky is blue, his Glock holds twenty-two rounds, and Danny Williams does not want a soulmate.]
A Marked Interest by Chimera01
long af summary but basically Danny ignores his soulmark and he really really should not have
Hit Me With Your Best by Liu 
[In hindsight, Danny blames it all on the adrenaline. Since the moment he first looks (and draws a weapon) at McGarrett, his life is a constant swirl of one near-death experience after another, and the adrenaline, sloshing through his veins due to the neverending panic, is absolutely the reason why it takes him a year to realize he’s found his soulmate.]
Uhane Hoa by Amboseus 
In a world where people have a mark on their body leading them to their soul mate, Danny is not believing it at all. Ignoring his own mark he lives not thinking about it, until a certain Seal just had to destroy his plans (as always). [Available now from Steve's POV.]
The Boy With The Hibiscus Soul Mark by GeckoGirl89
[When he's a child, Danny frowns every time he looked at the soul mark on his arm. It's some kind of fancy pink flower, painted onto his skin with precise detailing, that Danny doesn't recognize. It would actually make a very nice tattoo. For a girl.]
 KID FICS
If You Ever Need Me I’ll Be There by conformityissuicide
[Steve and Danny didn't realize how much they relied on each other. It took months of support and the innocent insights of their two little girls to realize just how much they needed each other.]
JEALOUS FICS
You Changed My World by mymcdanno
[Danny doesn’t like how the people at the bar are looking at Steve.] this fic was actually written for me by main gal who I love to pieces and you should actually just check out all her fics
Green and Red by JaneDavitt
 [Danny's not jealous. Much.]
ASSUMED/FAKE DEATH FICS

Unfair by mymcdanno 
[Written for earthdragon1 on Tumblr, who asked: "I'm a sucker for Emotional!Danny Whump. I'd love to read something where Steve maybe shoots his mouth off then realizes later Danny was really *really* hurt by it, like maybe even cried because of it, and then he kinda falls all over himself trying in his Steve-way to make it up to him."]

Home is Just Another Word For You by morganoconner [It's not that Danny misses his partner; that would be ridiculous. Maybe it's just heartburn.]
MARRIAGE FOR CONVENIENCE
hoʻokāne by Siria 
[As active as Danny's imagination was, however, as strong as all his fears could be at the thoughts of his little girl being taken away from him again, he'd forgotten to factor in one very important element: Steve.]
 PRE-SLASH
Overwhelmed by dawnchsr
[Coda to episode 2.15- Danny and Steve have to come to grips with what happened in the wake of Grace's kidnapping. Note: Pre-slash Steve/Danny] so they don’t get together in this one but it’s one of my fave ever mcdanno fics – warning it contains super sad Danny.
