Rather a Story

Title: Life in the Valley
Summary: Written for brilligspoons for the h50_exchange. The team has some much-needed downtime at one of Chin and Kono's cousins' taro farm.
Pairings/Characters: Chin/Kono/Danny/Steve (The story assumes an OT4 kind of poly relationship, but never goes further than very chaste kissing)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4,500
Warnings: > Secondary character death, only mentioned in passing.
Disclaimer: Last I checked, CBS is still the only one with any right to make money off these guys.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I would like to thank the mods first and foremost for being very very patient with me during this challenge, and for running it in the first place, which is a herculean task!
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to zolac_no_miko, without whom this fic would not have happened and who provided me with all of the Hawaiian culture portrayed herein. Any factual errors are due to my incomprehension and nothing else.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: And, last but not least, many many thanks to my indefatigable beta, rainylemons, who listened while I whined at her and held my hand and basically made sure the story didn't suck. brilligspoons, I really hope this is close to what you were looking for.

Title: Fugit Irreparabile Tempus
Summary: A lot can happen in a minute. Written for the h50_exchange for delicatale. Originally posted anonymously here.
Characters: Steve/Danny, brief appearances by Chin and Kono
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5,076
Disclaimer: I am playing in CBS's sandbox. Everything recognizable is theirs, everything else is mine.
Warnings: Swearing.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: So the ever-patient, extraordinarily lovely and talented delicatale expressed a desire to read the AU in which one of the characters goes blind (or deaf, or whatever), and how the characters end up dealing with it. This is my attempt to provide that. I think I mostly succeeded.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I stole the title from the Georgics. I hope I haven't mangled the Latin too horribly. Apologies to all the scholars who read it and cringe. ;)
Neurotic Author's Note #3: The characters and I had a violent disagreement about whether or not they were going to get it on on-screen, as it were. The characters won. I apologize for the lack of sex, but they were adamant about angsting instead.

Title: Always on My Mind
Summary: Coda to 2.10 Steve thinks about Danny the whole time he's in North Korea.
Characters: Steve, with appearances by basically the whole cast. I guess there's implied Steve/Danny, or maybe it's very pre-slash, IDEK. It reads like gen, though.
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,363
Disclaimer: It all belongs to CBS, alas. Nothing recognizable is mine.
Warnings: Violence, mentions of torture
Neurotic Author's Note #1: We really needed another coda to 2.10, right? Right? Yes. Well, since we needed one, here it is. :)
Neurotic Author's Note #2: This is mostly pkwench's fault. She gave me a prompt, and then I took liberties with the prompt, and it resulted in this.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: This is much closer to how I would have liked it to go. But then, I'm a little biased toward Steve/Danny, so there.

Title: Nothing Exactly Like It
Summary: There are always little hurdles to be overcome in a relationship. Steve and Danny stumble over one of them. Or, the one in which Danny doesn't actually like giving blowjobs.
Characters: Steve/Danny, brief Chin and Kono
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 4,417
Disclaimer: All of it still belongs to CBS. Just playing with their toys while their attention is elsewhere.
Warnings: Vague spoilers for all aired episodes. Awkward sex.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This is all zortified's fault. I was checking Twitter and saw this tweet: "Want to see a steve/danny fic where one of them doesn't like to give blowjobs & it causes problems until they figure out how to negotiate…" and then this fic happened. IDEK, okay?
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Title is taken from a quote by W. C. Fields: "Some things are better than sex, and some are worse, but there's nothing exactly like it."
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd. Read at your own risk, etc.

Title: A Pre-Existing Condition
Summary: From a prompt by desertport at the hawaii_50_hc h/c comment-fic meme. Steve and Danny are imprisoned for some reason or other and held in two rooms separated by an opaque wall that lets a little sound through. One or the other is injured, and/or maybe being interrogated by the bad guys, and all the other one can do is listen and try to keep his friend's spirits up with his voice.
Characters: Steve, Danny, Ocs, quick appearance by Chin and Kono
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 7,423
Disclaimer: Lies, pretty little lies, all of it.
Warnings: more Danny-with-seizures, swearing, show-levels of violence
Neurotic Author's Note #1: So I guess I have ANOTHER 'verse. This is a sequel of sorts to The Art of Bad Timing. You don't have to read the story to understand this one, just know that Danny has a pre-existing condition that predisposes him to seizures.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Um, this is only sort of what desertport asked for. Sorry, babe! I hope you like it anyway.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd comment-fic. I'm posting it now because I've been staring at it for way too long.

Trying the episode reaction thing I usually do with SPN. Those of you who aren't familiar with this, it's just me commenting on the episode as it happens. There is a lot of squee, a lot of flailing, and not much by way of insightful thinking. ;)
