Passing the Torch by Caliecat (PG13)
Fandom: HAWAII FIVE-0 (NEW)
Pairing: author says Gen, but so slashably good...

Why this must be read:
Author's Summary : After she meets Steve, Rachel discovers that Danny is in good hands. Extended coda to Episode 1x10, Heihei.
This fic is a Rachel POV, something that would usually make me cringe and not read. But Calie just breathes life into and makes her a character I can love and completely understand. She's more human in this and I get why she does what she does. Her reasoning for why their marriage didn't work sounds so right for their characters. And boy do I love her POV on Steve, his strengths, insecurities, and how deeply he cares for her child and ex-husband. A lovely character piece that makes a character shine that so many in fandom hate, an individual with her own insecurities, her own take on things, and who has love and honor all her own.
