ohana means choppers
Okay, can I just call this right now?
BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON.
And yes, still some things that were wrong--guys is Grace sick? Or hurt or something that means she's not allowed to go on adventures anymore? (I hope this is probably just, uh, my skewed view and not actually true, but sometimes I wonder if she...might not be eating enough. If she's in treatment for it they wouldn't let her do anything too strenuous. I hope hope hope I'm wrong.)
Anyway, HAPPIER THINGS. Danny actually saying he's concerned about Steve, oh god, just. Danny this whole episode, losing his shit he's so tense, and hot. damn. that. black. tee. Oh my god. Danny calling Steve a million times on the satphone going "Please please please pick up, you massive asshole, pick up your goddamn phone," and marcing out into the middle of fucking nowhere to find Joe and his boyfriend Sergeant Conveniently Hanging Out Together, and Danny with the "I'm a margarita guy," to JIMMY FUCKING BUFFET, and and and Danny when he sees Steve in the back of the truck like, "STEVE, I found--STEVE," and clambering up there and touching Steve's hands to get him untied and then offering a shoulder to help carry Steve to the chopper and I JUST CAN'T OKAY I CAN'T.
And Steve, oh Steve. Steve when he said "I'll think about you the whole time," WHO DOES THAT, but his face, okay, his face is the equivalent of Danny drawing a heart in the air mouthing I Love You. aklsdfjld And when he's geting beaten up and his feet are scrabbling for purchase on the floor and he thinks he's gotten free but he hasn't, and then he sees Danny, and he can't quite--because he wants it to be true so much it can't be, he could have a concussion, what if he's dreaming, what if he's lost his mind, so he says, "Where's Wo Fat," because he can't think of anything else to say that doesn't show how fucking terrified he is, and Danny says, "Just shut up, would you?" and it's such a Danny thing to say, but he still doesn't let himself believe he's going home until he's in the chopper and he's got a gun in his hands, a solid, loaded gun that he can hold onto and protect himself and his ohana, and I just LOVE JOE'S HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS, I FORGIVE JOE FOR EVERYTHING, GIVING STEVE SOMETHING TO BRACE AGAINST, and just.
DANNY IS STILL LIVING IN STEVE'S HOUSE. GUUUUYS. DANNY. IS. STILL. LIVING. WITH. STEVE. Because remember he thought he'd found a place but Steve was like Nooooope and I think Plinkoff even tweeted that they're still living together JESUS CHRIST I WANT THE H/C FICS. LIKE. NOW? NOW IS GOOD. aldkjflasdkjfaldskjf
When Chin asked Steve to be his best man, I legit started to get up in arms, though, like, "Bitch please how dare you not ask Kono to be your best man," and my parents were like, "Ahaha you need sleep, did you hear how you just answered your own question?" and I was like, "Noooo. Nope. I stand by my statement, Kono for best man, Steve can be the maid of honor." IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES IN FIC, SURELY IT MUST BE REAL LIFE.
I will be in denial about Chin marrying Malia for the rest of my life, she is so. boring. this season and also not Kono. I will go down with this ship. Lalalalala. But OH, CAN WE PLEASE GET AN EPISODE CENTERED AROUND CHIN'S WEDDING. I want Danny in a white tux and Grace as flower girl and Steve discovering an illegal arms circulation fronted by their catering company and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and i want it. Because REASONS.
...wow that's a lot of capslock and keymashing. Um. Okay.
