Tired and cranky and don't want to work. I know this is every day for me, but it just's so much worse today. Ugh.

Sugar Never Was So Sweet by
topaz119. Danny/Kono goodness wherein Kono pretends to be Danny's date for an evening and hot sex ensues.
I love hot, funny het, and this one delivers. Equal parts hilarious, sweet, hot, and anything involving various members of Kono's family treating her like family is aces. This scene in particular had me wheezing with laughter.
"Hey, boss," she says, falling into step with him. "Got a minute?"
"Of course," he says, his head coming up from the file he's reading with a snap that says he knows something's up. "My office?"
"Yeah, that's probably best," Kono says. The last thing she needs is for someone to overhear. "It's kind of personal."
"Personal?" Steve says, closing the door and tossing the file on his desk. "Is anyone at HPD giving you shit? I know I'm supposed to encourage you to take that kind of thing to HR, but say the word and I'll go bust some heads--"
"No," Kono says, smiling at him fondly. He really does like it when he can smack people around. "No, nothing like that."
"Okay," Steve says. "So?"
"So," Kono echoes, and sighs. "So, I kindoftookDannyhomewithmelastnight, and it looks like it's gonna be a thing, so we figured we'd give you the heads up."
"Took Danny home," Steve repeats slowly. "You mean in the, uh..."
"Biblical sense?" Kono asks. "Yep." For all that telling your boss you're fucking his partner isn't exactly a conversation you look forward to having, it's actually pretty awesome to have Steve gaping at her like he is. She would have gotten less of a reaction if she'd told him they were being invaded by aliens. Then he could have just gone for the heavy ordinance and had some fun.
It is so my happy place right now.
