Summary: A series of double-drabbles wherein Danny has to go through some pain before finding what he's looking for
Author's notes: The first double-drabble was written as a reward for galadriel34 for her contribution to a 1-million-words weekend challenge some time ago. The rest of the story developed over the next year or so, and is now finally completed, so I am posting it as I find time.
Chapter One is at AO3 here: An Illusion Of Control and LJ here: Chapter One
Chapter Two can be read here at A03
Danny blinked several times and tried to stifle the yawn that was desperately trying to break free.
"Am I keeping you awake?" Steve asked, a frown starting, causing Chin and Kono to look up from studying photos of the latest suspect on the computer table.
"I'm just-"
"Tired?" Chin cut him off, one eyebrow lifted.
Steve's expression deepened, and he straightened, his worry obvious. "You okay, Danny?"
"I'm fine," Danny waved the concern away. "I woke in the night, and couldn't get back to sleep. Don't sweat it; when we head out to talk to this guy, your driving is bound to wake me up." He threw an 'am I right' look in Kono and Chin's direction.
Kono grinned widely in reply. "That sounds right."
Steve gave her a withering look. "Don't encourage him. I'm a good driver."
"That's what you're calling it, huh?" Danny asked, glad of the distraction.
"Never mind that. You're not sleeping? Anything I can do to help?"
"Nope, not a thing."
Danny didn't need Steve's kind of help. Chances are it wouldn't be anywhere near what he wanted after his recent dreams, although he was pretty sure it was likely to cause more of them.
