Operation: H50 Recs

Still Falling by cottontail. Steve & Danny | R. Steve is severely hurt and in ICU. Danny has to reassess everything he thought he knew. This one aches and yet has its lighter moments and I just love everyone. The mood reminds me of the best QaF 1.22 gapfillers with a hurt Justin and a traumatized Brian.
Anything Less Than a Tank by sheafrotherdon. Steve & Danny | PG. Danny, yoga, and ranting. Oh, god, the awesome ranting! Be sure to read the mini-sequel in the comments, lol.

No Fu Manchu by oxoniensis. Steve & Danny | R. Great banter-convo between the car chase and when the guns come out. "Can you grow a beard?" Danny's gotten too used to car chases - he's barely using the conversation as a distraction from his life being in imminent danger.
Untitled by misspamela Steve & Danny | PG. From the promptfest: Starting line: "Okay, but I swear to God this is the last time I am letting you jump off of my hood onto a moving truck. LAST. TIME. So savor it."

Untitled by misspamela. Steve & Mary | PG-13. From the promptfest: Mary and Steve as kids - maybe Mary gets into a fight and Steve tries to come to the rescue, or they're just fighting over the remote for Saturday morning cartoons.
Due Process by smilebackwards Steve & Danny | PG. From the promptfest: In an effort to make Steve a kinder, gentler, more due-process-y kind of cop, Danny starts making Steve do his own booking, including reading suspects their Miranda rights.

Motive and Method by lamardeuse. ( Original LJ post.) Steve/Danny | NC-17. Danny and Steve go undercover in a gay bar. The thing was, it wasn't like Danny didn't know Steve and him had - something, he didn't really know what.

This could so easily have been pure crack!fic, but ohladybegood makes it so much more. It's gritty and real and funny and bloody and sweet and heartbreaking.

"Those trees," Steve says slowly, staring past the guardrails at the trees everywhere. "They're… they're so unsettling."
Still Falling by cottontail. Steve & Danny | R. Steve is severely hurt and in ICU. Danny has to reassess everything he thought he knew. This one aches and yet has its lighter moments and I just love everyone. The mood reminds me of the best QaF 1.22 gapfillers with a hurt Justin and a traumatized Brian.

No Fu Manchu by oxoniensis. Steve & Danny | R. Great banter-convo between the car chase and when the guns come out. "Can you grow a beard?" Danny's gotten too used to car chases - he's barely using the conversation as a distraction from his life being in imminent danger.
Untitled by misspamela Steve & Danny | PG. From the promptfest: Starting line: "Okay, but I swear to God this is the last time I am letting you jump off of my hood onto a moving truck. LAST. TIME. So savor it."

Due Process by smilebackwards Steve & Danny | PG. From the promptfest: In an effort to make Steve a kinder, gentler, more due-process-y kind of cop, Danny starts making Steve do his own booking, including reading suspects their Miranda rights.
