Hawaii Five-0 fic recs

Jan 01, 2012 10:20

I held out until the beginning of season 2, but you all posted so many picspams and squees, and the fic was sooo good. I succumbed! And you weren't kidding. They could hardly make the Steve/Danny more canon if they actually got gay married on the show! (I eagerly await the "undercover gay married" episode. Eagerly. They have to, right?) In the meantime, there's fic. So here you go, my recs.

Lots of other fic recs by rec post index or fic_recs tag.
