Here be selkies. Crack-flavoured selkies.

So, bluespirit_star posted this very helpful illustrated guide, regarding the difference between seals and SEALs.

Crackbunny appeared. Blue and sgamadison made the mistake of encouraging me. It's all their fault! Please don't mistake this snippet for a story of any literary value whatsoever.

Eeeeeeeee!
OMG! You wrote it. And it's awesome. And sweet. And funny. And awesome! (You get that it's totally awesome, right? *g*) And actually not crack-y at all. It reads so perfectly that I'm now going to be looking for a soft gleam of fur tucked away carefully on a shelf or something when the next ep airs!

“If you steal my pelt, I will be pissed,” he says. “You want to marry me, you can just ask.”

Mmmm, as awesome as awesomecakes with awesome sprinkles.
*happy sigh*

With such lovely inspiration, how could I resist? *g*

I now know more about selkies than I ever wanted to learn. I also kind of wanted to add a scene where Danny geot thrown overboard in the middle of the ocean by some bad guys and seal!Steve saved him. Maybe another time ;)

[bluespirit_star]

Yes, yes, yes!
This should definitely become a 'verse for you to dip into & write more.
*nods in a completely unselfish-more-fic-please manner*

I have not heard of selkies before I read this!

As always, I love your writing. This was warm and fun and sweet:)

Thank you! Scottish folklore is one of my nerdy interests *g* Plus, McGarrett is a kinda Scottish-sounding name, and the swimming, and the SEAL-thing, and the looking really hot when wet... it makes sense!

Steve, seal and SEAL. Seal!SEAL, if you will, and like I said to bluespirit_star earlier, that will never not be funny.

Except how you made it kind of adorable, actually ♥

[zinfic]

It's like seal squared! It makes so much sense!

Thank you! *g*

Hee! I'm loving the idea of Steve as a selkie.

First time I've ever heard of that myth. *off to do research*

[zinfic]

The more I think about it, the more convinced am I that there's actually no possible way he's not a selkie!

[witchy_kat]

Blue's right. You are amazingly awesome and so was that story!

[zinfic]

Haha, thank you very much! *g*
