А constant satellite оf your blazing sun by sirona_gs

When a case from Danny’s past comes back to haunt him, Steve can’t begrudge any help they can get to put it to rest. If only said help didn’t have to come in the shape of a too-handsome FBI agent that Danny seems all too familiar with…

A Day Without Rain by Zarah5

In which pancakes count as a gesture.

A Light Like Dawn by kitsune_tsuki

In a town as small as Bell Cove, it’s inevitable Danny’s going to run into the source of the biggest gossip storm its inhabitants have had in years 

Also: Steve’s POV

A Royal Marriage by heffermonkey

Danny is a newly crowned king who needs a spouse because his wife, Rachel died giving birth to Grace. Cue Steve as the one who Danny is set to marry, but it is far from love at first sight for these two. Grace loves Steve right off the bat which makes Danny equal parts glad and jealous.

All the World is Waiting for the Sun by leashy_bebes

So there’s this tropical storm and everyone’s on lockdown, except Steve who, in between interrogating suspects and driving like a maniac, finds time to pick up a milkshake for Grace. And that’s basically Danny’s last defence against this ridiculous man shot down, isn’t it?

Aloha Aku No, Aloha Mai No by queenklu

“—so Gracie puts this flower in my hair and she tells me I look pretty and if I love her I’ll wear it all day, and I think, Great, I think, Greatness, because this is my dayoff and no way would Steve McGarrett show up at my door on my day off, right, Steven?”  

Be That Easy by Zarah5

Danny hated his life. He did. In particular, he hated the day Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett had walked into his investigation and robbed him of evidence, everyday routine work and his sanity.

bring you out under this flooded sky at any price by gyzym

In which Danny puts his family first, New Jersey weather is as unpleasant as advertised, and absolutely no one is impressed with Steve.

Burning Alive by padfootthegrim

Kink Bingo begging square. Steve’s dick is pierced and it makes Danny nuts. But what makes Steve nuts is Danny begging for it.

You know what the chain of command is? It’s the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who’s in command.

Curving Like the Ocean Toward You by gyzym

If it ain’t broke, fix it anyway.

Danny called Steve at the end of a long day. This was bound to happen

Down the Shore Everything’s All Right by thehoyden

There’s a better than average chance that Danny is getting crazier by association — and he wouldn’t change it for the world (although he could do without the head injuries, thanks).

Downshifting by thegrrrl2002

Goofy guys in love. And sex.

‘Ekahi, ‘Elua, ‘Ekolu by elise_509

She’s seen Steve want, but she’s never seen Steve want someone as much as he wants Danny. [catherine/steve, catherine/steve/danny]

Trust me! Even if you don’t like threesomes in your steve/danno (and I don’t usually, I have another fandom for my OT3 fics) just read this one fic because it is just so good and all about the steve/danno! It’s tagged under “holy moly guh!” and “Badass Catherine” in my bookmarks which gives you an indication as to how it goes. Seriously, read it!!!

End-Around by t_fic

Steve hesitates with his hand on the doorknob, looking back over his shoulder at Danny and nodding once before disappearing inside, and yeah, Danny is going to be so fucking lucky to get through this night without a coronary event.

Kono meddles. This is the result.

Hand Signals by alamo_girl80

The one where Danny notices that Steve has big hands…

Heated by thegrrrl2002

Steve is shouting now, because that’s what Danny does to him when he gets like this, all prickly and disagreeable.

Hiamoe loa by casspeach

“They keep telling me it helps,” Rachel says. “That hearing a loved one’s voice, knowing that someone special is close by…it’s probably just nonsense that they say to try and make us feel better, but it might not be.”

High, High, Very High by Siria

In which nothing turns out like Danny expects, but pretty much exactly like he wants.

Home is the Sailor, Home from the Sea by laceymcbain

“You know,” Danny starts, “when you said ‘home,’ I kind of assumed you meant you had a place here, or a boat to go back to, or you know, something other than an active crime scene.”

Ho’oheno Ohana by esteefee

This is a tag of sorts for Loa Aloha. But from a skewed perspective.

Ho’omaka’ana by kass

“You free this afternoon?” Steve asks, overly-nonchalant, and it is obvious that he is up to something; he has some kind of harebrained plan. It’s probably a sign of something he doesn’t want to consider that Danny agrees to go with him without even finding out where they’re going or why.

hoʻomanawanui i ka ʻono by Siria

Thursday. Or Steve in an elevator.

Ho’oponopono by ember_firedrake

Let’s get this straight. I am not married to Danny. I am not Steve Williams-McGarrett, I do not share my house with him, and I am not, never have been, and never will be his husband. Steve wakes up married to Danny. Except that’s not how the world is supposed to work.

If It’s Not With You by thismuchmore

Steve and Danny have a long day, get drunk, have sex, and avoid talking about it.

And that’s where it all started. That stupid t-shirt, stupid McGarrett, his long, stupid body spread out like it was Danny’s for the taking.

Inevitable by thegrrrl2002

Danny and Steve bicker. Then have sex. What, it’s what they do on the show, right?

Inked by thehoyden

Of course Steve is enjoying himself. They’re bait for a serial killer who has some sort of serious hangup about tattooing loved ones’ names on their skin — of course Steve thinks this is practically like a vacation, but better, because the chances of collateral damage are higher.

It’s All About the Buttons by thegrrrl2002

Just a bit of sleepytime silliness. And smut.

Steve and Danno are married. Kind of. In which there are (incorrect?) speculations as to the marital status of Steve and Danny that they deny but are (unhelpfully) contributing to.

It’s Just What Is by giddygeek

Danny tries to date people other than Steve. It doesn’t go down well.

It’s Only a Question of a Degree by anyanka_eg

Steve is pretty sure all women are crazy, but one of them may have just ruined his life

Just Hanging Around by ifeelbetter

Steve develops just the teensiest of obsessions with Danny’s tie. And Danny’s neck.

just like the barrel going over the falls (crying all the way down ‘i never asked to be involved’) by gyzym

Peer pressure convinces Danny and Steve (well, okay, just Steve) that date nights are a necessary part of a healthy relationship. They try them out. It…doesn’t go well. [chin/malia, kono/ben bass]

Just Like the Saturday Morning PBS Kids Lineup by moonythestrals

The speed of Steve McGarrett’s age regression as a function of time exposed to Danny Williams, chart to follow. Plot is tenuous, snark is aplenty.

Let’s Dance Like We Used To by andrealyn

There isn’t a world in which Danny wouldn’t go after Grace. So when Rachel moves the family to California, Danny goes with. Steve gets left to process life without Danny.

Needless to say I’m right there with you by moonstootired

Behind Steve, another part of his house collapses.

Once Upon A Time by andrealyn

Things Unattempted Yet by misspamela

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, please tell me you’re not delirious,” Danny said, making a big show of checking Steve’s forehead, even though he could feel him burning up from six inches away. “Please tell me that ‘I wish I was in Newark,’ aren’t going to be your last words. No, no, I take that back, because as last words go, I approve, but I am not even entertaining the though that we’re in last words territory here.”

Thirty-Six Hours and Fifteen Minutes by leupagus

It turns out knowing that Steve’s breath catches whenever you press teeth against his throat doesn’t mean he can’t still make you want to murder him whenever he launches himself off a roof in pursuit of a suspect or decides there’s not enough time to put on his vest before busting into a meth lab and beating people up.

When All of New York Misses You by leupagus & sutlers

Steve looks thin — like he looked when they first met, actually, fresh off the plane and jet-lagged, before seventeen months of sneaking Danny’s malasadas had taken the the edge off of all his sharp angles. There’s a ratty duffel lying at his feet and a wicked-looking scar curves over his left bicep, disappearing under the sleeve of his t-shirt, skin still pink and new.

When you open up your tired eyes by armillarysphere

He can feel Steve’s eyes on him again, as in the car, but he doesn’t say anything and neither does Danny.
