#i would love if someone actually wrote mcdanno + austen stories

[teruel-a-witch]

Your post regarding Danny joking about Steve asking him to prom (really the comment about Jane Austen and Mr. Darcy) has now given me a MIGHTY NEED for a McDanno Jane Austen-esque story.

Well done my friend. Well done.

regarding this post

hee, I will never shut up about about the similarity of s1 mcdanno to pride and prejudice 😁 the very first mcdanno graphic I made was a web-weaving/comparison parallel of the 'i know' moment. seeing as how the working title of pride and prejudice was first impressions, it's so fitting because let's be real steve did NOT make a good impression on danny when they met. meanwhile he got insulted by this sassy firey short little number and immediately fell into passionate love because danny was like nobody he's ever met and he was NOT fawning over him like everyone. there's even a parallel with steve not being impressed with danny's 'family' aka police because he didn't trust them to do their job and danny being a very obvious stand-out, he was ready to dismiss him on the spot until he turned out to be a real challenge etc.

danny really humbled steve. then he continued doing nice things for danny without expecting anything in return (especially since he thought danny would never like him back anyway), like when he used his connection with the governor to strong-arm stan and rachel into keeping danny's visitation rights and wasn't even going to tell danny about it if danny hadn't deduced that. how very darcy paying wickham to marry lydia and not wanting lizzie to find out of him.

and then of course we have this 'i know you' moment from 1x08 which basically parallels darcy's 'i did it all for you' ...so yeah, there's a reason I have a #pride and prejudice in hawaii tag for everything mcdanno/austen related.

i don't have real fic recs for you but I did write sort of a modern au emma/S2 of mcdanno fusion what-if scenario.

there's also a modern persuasion au that's been kicking around in my head for a few months but I haven't written it out yet.

and here's an alternate version of the graphic in a link above that I never posted
