WIP Wednesday
So I got today to write 6k and finish this chapter if I wanna stay on track…. And I got stuff scheduled all day.
This is not looking promising… maybe by the end of the week?
Tagging @quietborderline @missanniewhimsy @megasaurus-regina @monsterrae1 @westernlarch @tkwritesdumbassassins @outtoshatter @muffinsandsweets @rosieposiepuddingnpie with no pressure as always. This is just for fun and to keep me on track.

From: Family, Familia, ‘Ohana, Chapter 10: FUBAR, Danny’s POV
Fandom: 911, H50, SWAT
Pairings: Buddie, McDanno, platonic deacon/hondo
Fic summary:
When one family seems lost another comes back from the past. But does Buck want to return to the past or live in the present? And does his present lead to a future he wants? Only he can answer these questions but Steve at least will be there to support him.
Tags/warnings: kidnapped eddie, first draft, NavySeal!buck, alternative universe, timeline what timeline?, set vaguely season 3 911 and I’m not giving a time frame for H50 (because it wouldn’t make sense anyway). Written while sleep deprived.

Danny rubs his temples, fighting off a looming headache. He’s been staring at his own terrible cramped handwriting for hours. Steve’s fingers replace his, and he lets his eyes close with a groan as Steve rubs his neck and temples. 
“You got another headache?” Steve’s voice is gentle and soft. He’s practically sitting on Danny’s desk as he hovers, but Danny doesn’t care. They’re alone in the office, and if Steve wants to touch him, Danny’s going to let him. 
“Yeah.”
“I can get you some ibuprofen or Tylenol?”
“Took some with the Alka-Seltzer earlier.” Danny will pay for Steve to keep up the neck massage he’s giving. Steve’s fingers are digging into the knot that had been forming between Danny’s shoulders, and when it releases, he bites his tongue to stop from moaning. 
“You didn’t eat.” There’s disapproval and worry in Steve’s tone. 
“Wasn’t hungry.”  
He wasn’t.  
“This has been sitting out too long now. Do you want me to order something?”
“Let me rephrase. I am not hungry right now, nor was I.”
Steve chuckles, and his fingers find another knot, working into Danny’s left shoulder that he’d slept on last night on the sofa for a few hours. He’s ignoring Danny’s grumbling like usual. 
“These headaches of yours worry me.”  
Danny opens his eyes at this. Steve is close—closer than he’d thought. He’s wrapped himself around Danny, and they’re not touching other than where Steve’s hands are still rubbing his shoulders, but he can feel his body heat because Steve is that close. 
Steve’s observing Danny, waiting for him to say something about the concern he’d voiced, and Danny is floundering with what to say. He stupidly lands on, “They’re just headaches.”
“You’ve been getting a lot of them.”
“I get them when I’m stressed.”
“You get them less when you sleep over.”
“That’s because I sleep better at your place,” slips out before he can take the words back. 
“Why?”
It’s an innocuous question. Why? Why, indeed.  
He has his theories. Danny had slept better when he was still married and sharing a bed with Rachel, and he could roll over and cuddle with her, listening to her breathe. He slept worse when alone because he hated being alone. It’d never been a problem until he and Rachel had started having problems, and she’d kicked him to the couch most nights, denying him coldly. 
Danny was like a dog that needed a companion or otherwise would tear things apart out of anxiety—he needed another heartbeat to listen to in the night. Sleeping at Steve’s and knowing he was just upstairs or hearing his footsteps when he got up at night to do his patrols around the house that Steve swore he didn’t do but Danny had watched him do every night he’d slept over unless Steve was drugged or concussed… there was a rhythm to those nights. They usually watched a movie after dinner or a game and sat too close on the couch because Danny was too tactile, and Steve seemed to crave touch as much as Danny needed to give it.
Confessing this to Steve, however, was probably not in Danny’s best interest. Knowing Steve, he’d have Danny moved in by the end of the week, and Danny needed just a little bit of space for when Steve would inevitably find either another woman or Cath would finally wander back his way. 
Danny didn’t need a front-row seat to Steve choosing a leggy brunette or blonde over him. He was already going to be too close, and it would hurt when it finally happened. If Steve is talking to Cath, then… she will probably come back at some point. Danny hadn’t known they’d still been talking after she left him in Afghanistan a year ago to go chasing after missing villagers and hadn’t wanted Steve’s help.

Adam is back. Danny went to give him an offer because Steve is "literally tied up" and a pep talk as he knows what he's going through.
What's very telling is Danny saying "stop touching me" after their hug.
It means Danny isn't a tactile guy. He likes his personal bubble. It made me realize he's like that with the ohana.
The only exception is Steve. Steve can touch him all he wants, Danny won't reject him.
To me, it's a sign of his feelings, and he also recognizes how touch starve Steve really is.
McDanno is undeniable and eternal.

ask meme - 1,3,7 mcdanno please!
who is the most affectionate - that's so hard with mcdanno because they're both as equally affectionate with each other when they're not even (technically) dating so when they actually are it's probably a free for all. steve had more trouble with affection in general in the beginning but danny brought out a lot of that in him I think and with such a detached upbringing I think he would love being able to be tactile and loving with someone he was so in love with, his family, his adopted kids, everyone.most common argument - HA, we don't even need to have fanon for this because all these two love birds do is bicker and the thing they bicker about most is how steve has no self-preservation skills and is always putting his life in danger. which pisses danny off to no end because if steve dies his life and his family will be torn apart and not only will danny lose the person he loves most in the world but his kids will lose someone they love too and that is just not okay, you just don't jeopardise grace and charlies happiness you just don't steve. what's the first thing that changes when they realise they have feelings for each other - that's a cool question, and a difficult one since they are the basically in each other's pockets already. I think a big thing that would change (other than they'd finally be sleeping together and in the distance you can hear lou grover like, 'it's about damn time') would be danny moving in with steve. I think that they have so much of the foundations set that steve would be like, fuck it, we own a restaurant together, why not a house? why not elope? why not have a serious conversation about having another kid? and the kid stuff would be the first thing danny would want to sort. just making sure his kids know and understand and are okay with everything. GOD H50, GET WITH IT.

If Steve didn't want his co-workers to assume he was taking a vacation to 'reconnect' with his partner perhaps he shouldn't have looked at Danny like that and touched him in a way that indicated that this decision to take days off is directly related to him. Subtlety, thy name is not McDanno.

mcdanno - a study in touch (with a little help from quora)
Steve isn't a particularly touchy-feely person before he meets Danny and even after him initiating physical contact is usually very precise and deliberate. He ushers Danny the way one does with a date. A wooing and guiding gesture.
When it comes to Danny, Steve is all of those things: protective, possessive, reassuring. He lets Danny know he's got his back and he really means it, as evidenced by above caps from 7x17 when Danny was babbling and embarrassed but couldn't stop himself so Steve stepped in and interrupted him fondly. Having his back doesn't just mean in a life or death situation, it's all the little things too. Based on body language alone it's obvious Steve has feelings for Danny and isn't shy about showing them.

here's Steve holding the nape of Danny's neck/cradling the back of his head when they hug, in a protective and possessive gesture at the same time, for reasons 😏

4.10/4.19 Character Development, or The Time Holding Steve's Hand Was Not Helpful For Danny's Claustrophobia And The Time It Was.
Steve was genuine in his offer to help both times but the first time Danny assumed he was making fun of him and got prickly and rejected his hand so Steve got defensive and dismissive in return, because it irked him that Danny assumed the worst of him. The second time not only Danny took his hand without a word, he didn't want to let go, and when he calmly explained how this situation is affecting him, Steve ever so gently tried to calm him down, made sure he was distracted and coping even though he was in a hurry to find some leverage to get the concrete block off of Danny's leg. When Danny shows vulnerability and accepts Steve's help Steve is always there for him and vice versa. These two might be at each other's throats sometimes but when the push comes to shove they always have each other's back. I'm not even talking about the metaphorical implications of Danny finally accepting Steve's hand 😉

Today in Just Normal Bro Things™: Steve tenderly touching Danny's cheek/cradling his face in his giant palm before he gives him some privacy that Danny didn't even ask for, because he can't stand to watch Danny talk to his new gf (the one he had just encouraged Danny to go steady with, because he loves suffering and he wants Danny to be happy even if he's not the reason for Danny's happiness, he is literally stepping aside), he just can't resist giving himself one last outlet for his affection before he 'passes the baton' to Amberlissa, so to speak.

as though introducing Danny as 'his partner' or himself as 'Danny's partner' isn't enough, Steve also keeps one had on Danny at all times to send a clear 'back off he's mine' message

i know bridget is supposed to be danny's baby sister but honestly they could be fraternal twins
Tumblr media
which makes me think they could have been attracting the same people/were in competition for the same people, dubbed 'the williams twins', like catnip to bisexuals (and yes, they are both obviously bi too)
danny introducing steve to bridge: my partner, MINE, hands OFF!
Tumblr media
bridget: i told you for the 100th time i did not kiss your prom date, she kissed me!
danny: what about billy in 11th grade?
bridget: will you give it a rest? i called dibs.
danny: well i called dibs on steve.
Tumblr media
steve: do i get a vote?
both danny and bridget: no
