snippet sunday

Snippet Sunday banner by radio chatter.
From: Family, Familia, ‘Ohana, Chapter 12: Operation Rescue, Buck POV
Fandom: 911, H50, SWAT
Pairings: Buddie, McDanno, platonic Hondo/Deacon (although I’ve decided they are going to get their own sequel piece and Annie is going to baby trap Hondo from the grave)
Tags/warnings: NavySeal!Buck, angst. Post tsunami/divorce era. First draft territory warnings.
Outwardly, Buck is calm under the plain black ball cap he’s wearing to hide his blonde hair, a pair of tactical glasses hiding his anxious eyes. He’s strapped for the apocalypse as is Steve, Danny and Chin. The heavy, immovable weight of the bullet proof vest is tight around his torso even though the straps have some elasticity to allow him to breathe, the mic at his throat a persistent reminder every time he swallows spit and the hiss of a comm in his ear as Chin checks that they’re online.
Both of his thighs are wrapped with holsters, a 9mm on the right, a string of extra ammunition clips on the left. Buck’s got fistful of flash bangs, a half dozen grenades and ammo clips in every pocket and then some, ready to start a war if needed, or rescue one stubborn Texan who managed to get nabbed in broad daylight in the middle of LA instead of halfway around the world.
Buck’s HK416 hangs across his chest from it’s strap, an old and comforting friend in situations like these and a k-Bar snug in its sheath at his back, ready to silence any sentry he comes across. They’ve already discussed ROE but Buck doesn’t care. He’s got one goal and he has pretty brown eyes, a beauty mark on one cheek and a tattoo on his arm that reminds him to keep going.
Fortalecer la mente y superar el cuerpo.
Rubbing his face, he takes the proffered water bottle when Danny hands him one. Based on the limited intel, they’ve narrowed down where Wo Fat might be holding Eddie and Kono. It can’t be in any of the more populated areas as something would have been noticed so they know they’ll be going away from the shoreline. The North Shore actually encompasses most of northern Oahu. There’s a lot of dense forest and even farms up here with only one resort, Turtle Bay.
Somehow, Buck doubts Eddie’s being kept captive on a golf course but there’s a first time for everything.
Eddie doesn’t even like golf. He’s complained on more than one occasion that it’s like watching paint dry to watch and the only point of playing is going to the clubhouse for overpriced beers afterwards. Buck knows most of this is from the one summer that Eddie’s mom made him get a job at the local country club as a caddy instead of playing baseball like he had the summer before. The lack of baseball playing had turned Eddie against golf and lugging around heavy bags had increased the aversion along with the paltry tips and wandering hands of the cougars who’d seen Eddie’s fresh-faced teenage self as fresh meat.
Buck knows all about country clubs. He’s worked at them too and doesn’t blame Eddie for his aversion. Too much old money hiding bad habits and terrible treatment of anyone not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Buck’s parents belonged to the local one in Hershey which was telling in and of itself.
They’re all idle, waiting on a phone call. Raissa—Sang Min’s ex-wife—had given Danny an unlabeled map for them to plan with but she hadn’t given them coordinates or an address. That would come from Sang Min.
So they wait.
All dressed up, and ready to party as Freddie would have said. Just waiting on their dance partner.
“We look like walking Guns & Ammo advertisements,” Danny says, breaking the silence.
“Nah,” Steve replies, tone bland as he adjusts his thigh holsters so they’re not riding up into his groin. “We don’t have nearly enough grenades.”
“We don’t need any grenades,” Danny argues. “I’ve got half of your favorite army surplus store hanging off me.”
“It’s a good look on you,” Buck teases as Steve automatically argues, “We’re Navy, Danno.”
“Don’t Danno me,” Danny grumbles as they all freeze at the sound of Danny’s phone buzzing in his pocket from a received message.

Hey there! I love your posts and they always brighten my day. :) Do you know of any gif compilations of Danny Williams in hats? I'm looking for episodes where he wears stuff on his head, for fic research. Thanks! Have an awesome day.
Hi, there, anon! Thanks so much for your kind ask and wonderful feedback! That’s so sweet of you! I’m thrilled you enjoy the posts and my blog.
As for your ask, I’m so sorry but I can’t think of any gifset about Danny wearing hats. In fact, I was thinking hard about a single occasion where Danny wore a baseball cap. There was this time, where Gracie played baseball and he coached his girl together with Steve. But to be honest, I can’t think of another occasions with him wearing stuff on his head. As for gifsets and Scott with hats - there are one ore two I remember but I had to go looking for them.
I know that @tissueoflies did some great gifsets about Alex and Scott and caps or hats. And they even created a gifset with Steve wearing ball caps but I come up seriously empty handed knowing no gifset with Danny wearing hats. Maybe someone else has a better memory?
Have a wonderful time, anon, and you just make me want to rewatch H50 to check up on Danny😁.

i just saw a post going “dear h50 fandom stop making steve and danny out to be gay they are just friends”, and i won’t reblog it or link to it because it’s honestly just very silly and should probably be ignored, but it was tagged as #NOT GAY and i just need to say that actually, i think they’re totally right. not gay. not gay at all. (SPORTS.)

„It‘s a classic car! Classic cars are temperamental . . . just like you.“ - Steve McGarrett to a ranting Danny in 1.17
What strikes me in this scene: Steve loves and adores his dad‘s old Marquise. This old car has mood swings, is unpredictable and very tricky to handle and he doesn’t care because it’s a classic and therefore temperamental and he says that word with such fondness and a tad turned on. THEN Danny shoots back „temperamental?“ teasing, fed up with the heat and this heavy piece of metal. And Steve listens and says „just like you“. BUT how he says that! Head drops, face goes into hiding, finger points at Danny and he compares the wild nature of his beloved car to Danny. And that’s the first time the big message of this word exchange sinks in. Steve’s body language needs analyzing because - Gah! This is SO meaningful because he’s so falling for Danny. And Danny has powerful Alpha vibes coming off in this scene. I haven’t even realized this deeper wonderful meaning.
