friday, ho!

I know I'm forgetting things, but it's been a long week, complete with lay-offs and re-orgs (still employed! don't know exactly what I still own project-wise, but since I'm drowning, not waving, I'm hoping the news of things going to other teams don't turn out to be just vicious rumors) so I'm just throwing these out to the universe. I hope I managed to comment/kudo on everything, but if I missed somebody, thank you! I loved it!

Inked, by thehoyden, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, NC-17, ~5700 words === There's a serial killer out there, and he's going for people who have the name of their lover tattooed on them somewhere. Of course it's Danny who's leaning over his desk getting Steve's name (temporarily) inked on his ass, because that's just the way these things go. Of course. And of course, they're off to a gay resort to hunt down the killer. It goes about as well as you'd expect. :D So much fun.

Danny Williams and The Case of the Consulting Detective, by apetslife, Hawaii Five-0/Sherlock, Steve/Danny & John/Sherlock (about to the level of the show), Adult, ~9000 words === Another serial killer! (It's not a theme, I promise.) This time the investigation involves a consulting detective to the FBI on loan to Five-0. You know how excited Lestrade generally is with his consulting detective? Yeah, Danny's got him beat. I think you'll probably enjoy it even if you haven't watched Sherlock, but this is an excellent excuse to hunt down those DVDs as well.

Single Handed, Took Me Alive, by twentysomething, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, R-ish, ~3500 words === AU in which Det. Danni Williams follows her ex-husband to Hawaii to be near her daughter, Grace. Other than the pencil skirts and the heels, everything else is pretty much the same as what goes by on-screen every Monday night, which just makes this even more awesome. (More in the 'verse, here, read from the bottom up and have fun!)

Coffee Laced Intoxicating On Your Lips, by wickedtruth, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, Adult, ~1700 words === Porn Battle fill! With extra helpings of domesticity (pancakes!) amid the kitchen porn. What could be better?

Lonely People Do Stupid Things, by waketosleep, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, NC-17, ~14,000 words === Danny's going to New Jersey for Christmas and dragging Steve with him. Steve, who's never really had a big family holiday. *koff* Danny's in his element; Steve's maybe a tiny bit shell-shocked. Maybe. Just a bit. *g*

we believe in the sum of ourselves, by gyzym, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, Adult, ~4600 words === The end of 1.16 was crying out for codas; this fits the bill nicely. I really like why and how Danny loses control--as for where, well, of course it's in Steve's house.

and the bells were ringing out , by pathstotread, Castle, Castle/Beckett, PG, ~2800 words === Castle invites Beckett over for Christmas Eve. It's Castle, so there is laser tag involved, of course. Excellent character voices for everyone, including Martha and Alexis.
