Dear H50 people on my flist:

I'm in the mood to write some H50 fic, but I'm not sure what, or how much, or how long, because sometimes I have days like this where the words are not readily apparent. SO: comment, yo. Gimme prompts, yo. IDEAS, YO, I WANTS THEM.

Basic rules: I make no promises about actually writing what you've prompted, because inspiration is something I am really atrocious at forcing when it isn't already there. This is a "I'm gonna do what strikes me" kind of thing; I'd like to say I WILL FILL THE FIRST TEN PROMPTS THAT COME IN or whatever, but guys, guys, I have absolutely no control over my own brain. It's possible that I'll end up writing 25 little mini-fics; it's possible that I'll take one prompt, mean to write four sentences, and come back in two weeks with 30,000 words. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME, OKAY, I CAN'T HELP IT.

Basic rules continued: if you look in the comments and see something you want to write, DO EET, DO EEEEEET, PLEASE DO IT, I WILL CHEERLEAD YOU SO HARD YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. Prompt with pictures, words, quotes, scenarios, music, whatever. And no bashing--not on characters, not on each other, not on prompts, not on fills, not on other fandoms, and not on Scotty Caan's height, okay, because that man has four inches on me and it's driving me crazy and I will cut you.



Alex would like to know what you're thinking about, guys! SCOTTY JUST WANTS YOU TO MAKE WITH THE PROMPTING.

♥

Steve gets giggly when he's drunk, and it's driving Danny up the wall.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

"McGarrett!"

Steve looks up from the bar, glassy-eyed and red-faced, and laughs again. And normally, you know, normally, it would be endearing, to see Steve with his guard down--Steve's guard is mostly so up that Danny needs a battering ram to get through it, and even then he tends to make that face he makes, the one that means "Me and my one feeling that isn't semi-homicidal rage are confused to find you in here."

This metaphor has maybe gotten away from Danny a little, but hey, okay, he's drunk.

But the thing is, Steve--and who knew this, okay, why didn't anyone warn him--apparently has only two settings. Either his guard is up, so up, all the way up, climb it and climb it but never reach the top up, or it is down. Down to the ground, alright, so down that he's laughing at everything, everything, everything, at Danny's hair and Danny's tie and the kind of beer Danny's drinking and the way Danny says the word 'water.'

It's obnoxious. It's undignified, is what it is. It needs to stop.

"Your face," Steve slurs, and yes, this is indeed the voice of a man who's had several Scotches too many. He hiccups, and chokes on it through his laughter, and Danny despairs of his life. "It's all--ahahaha--it's all angry, Danno, your forehead goes all--"

He waves a hand, misjudges the distance because he's an amateur hand waver at best, and smacks Danny in the face. A very attractive woman walks by, sees this interaction, and snorts into her drink. Steve just laughs harder, dropping his head into his hands and shaking with it.

Danny's going to kill him.

"I'm going to kill you," he says, and Steve lifts his head just enough to catch Danny's eye, and--oh. Oh, fuck, goddamn it, Danny's drunk and pissed off but Steve's grinning at him, that goofy happy smile, the one that makes Danny's chest ache uncomfortably.

"Okay, Danno," Steve says, distant, agreeable, and Danny can maybe afford to let him live another day, just this once.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*cough* That one time Steve went for a stroll in the jungle and came back with a curious monkey.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

DEAR GOD I SOMEHOW FORGOT ABOUT THE CURIOUS GEORGE IDEA DFHDSJKFHDSJFKDSHF I DO NOT THINK THERE ARE WILD MONKEYS IN HAWAII, HE WILL HAVE TO GO ON A TRIP AND RETURN WITH ONE, BUT I AM ON THIS SJDFHDJF

[austen.livejournal.com]

Steve and Danny get a puppy.

I AM ALL OVER THIS BECAUSE IVE LEGIT BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT.

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

"Please?"

"No."

"Please? C'mon, please?"

"I said no! What about that is so hard for you, the 'n' or the 'o'?"

"... both, all of it. The part where it isn't 'yes.' You don't even have a legitimate reason why not and--"

"Oh, so I need to explain myself to you now? Ok, fine, here goes: we cannot get a puppy, Steven, because there will be no one around to take care of it."

"That's not true, we'd be taking care of it."

"When, exactly, would we be doing this? And it is most certainly not we, babe, it is you because I refuse to have any part in this at all."

"You don't give me, or you, enough credit."

"Steve, we both work ridiculous hours. When we come home all we wanna do is crack a cold one and pass the hell out. Dogs need... they need stimulation, they need to be fed and watered and played with and exercised, and groomed and all sorts of other things neither you nor myself have the time for right now."

"So... you're saying there's a chance?"

"No, I'm-- oh no, no no no, don't you even start, do not start with the face, Steven, I am warning you."

Steve is pouting, is an all-out onslaught of a pout, and its beginning to tremble. His eyes have gotten very large and round and they're getting glassy; oh, he is so not gonna get emotional about this, he is not.

Danny scrubs at his face with his hands, covers his eyes so he doesn't have to witness such an embarrassing display, but he can feel Steve leaning in closer to him, so close he can feel the other man's body heat, so he cracks and eye and groans at his stupidity.

Steve is about a centimeter from his face, eyes huge and round as saucers, and there are goddamn tears caught in his eyelashes, and Danny feels the same way he does when Grace pulls this sort of stunt, and he can't stand it, it's worse when Steve does it, so he throws his hands up in defeat.

"Ok, alright! We'll... Jesus Christ, we'll go pick out a fucking puppy, ok?! Just, for the love of everything, stop looking at me like that!"

Steve's demeanor instantly changes, and Danny feels a swell of anger at being tricked, at not realizing Steve was such a good actor, but the anger dissipates quickly because Steve is laughing now. He's all goofy smile and awkwardly long limbs, which he is throwing those long arms around Danny's shoulders and kissing him, all over his face.

"Thank you! See, that wasn't so hard! This is gonna be awesome, Danno, and Grace can come over and play with him, the dog, and help us take care of it and-- oh my God, she can help pick it out!"

Steve is practically bouncing with delight, and it's all Danny can do to control his urge to just have the man right there.

"Whatever you want, babe, but after I have a drink. I'm gonna need it, I think..."

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

Dood. Every time I see Steve I think about Moonlight and I just want VAMPIRES OKAY. except not really. my shame in this fandom ALL FANDOMS is that I just want you to write domestic fluff until the end of time.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

fdsfhdsjfhd I AM THE MOST USELESS AT VAMPIRE FIC, OKAY, IT WOULD INEVITABLY BE:

Steve: I am a vampire!
Danny: Ahahahahahaha, do you sparkle at night?
Kono: HEY, ASSHOLE, THAT'S NOT WHAT VAMPIRE MEANS, DON'T MAKE ME GET OUT MY FIRST EDITION COPY OF BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH IT--
Chin: You have a first edition of that?
Kono: You listen to romance novels on audio in your car, don't think I don't know about that.
Chin: Wouldn't getting blood on a first edition kind of ruin it?
Kono: It's Dracula, cuz. It would add to the authenticity.
Steve: Can we get back to...the fact that I am a bloodsucking fiend...
Danny: Fiend, yes. No question. Bloodsucking, not so much.
Steve: *Sucks Danny's blood*
Danny: Okay, so you're a vampire. Big whoop, McGarrett. This doesn't really make you less dangerous then you already were, but I'll start carrying garlic around if it'll make you feel better.

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

I want Gracie and Danny to dogsit Kono's pomeranian. Shenanigans ensue, hopefully in the form of Steve finding Danny mid-dog-bath (Rex got into some bird shit, I don't know) and finding it both hilarious and adorable.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, and Kono comes home and Danny's covered in soap and Steve's soaked to the skin and they're screaming at each other, and Gracie is sitting in the corner, calmly petting the completely dry dog.

"They're doing a thing," she says, and shrugs, and Kono sighs and takes her for shave ice.

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

OH OH OH I ALSO HAVE THE HORRIBLE NEED TO HAVE YOU WRITE EIGHT MILLION WORD SAGAS ABOUT THE BOYS GETTING STONED TOGETHER. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE JIZZY PLEEEEEASE

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm done having a heart attack there...
Steve and Danny are after a perp for drugs, it turns out that it's less serious than they were led to believe and it's just pot, nothing laced in or anything, very small-time, and so they just give him to the regular cops because, whatever, right? But Danno grabs a bag and Steve gives him some token shit about it, but it's not like either of them didn't do it in high school or that Danny convinces Steve that it can't *hurt*...

[hermette.livejournal.com]

WILL BE TRACKING THIS POST, JSYK.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

TRACK AWAY, I AM RUNNING FOR CAFFEINE TO MAKE ME MAD PRODUCTIVE AND THEN I WILL BE ALL UP ON FILLING ALL OF THE THINGS

[drkquail.livejournal.com]

Because it's been on my mind recently (http://drkquail.livejournal.com/14204.html), something with Catherine? Like, I don't even know, Catherine somehow getting involved with a case and realizing that her Boysomethingwhatever got married to his partner and didn't tell her. Then she laughs at his obliviousness, solves the case, and asks Kono out. Or something.

[seeingrightly.livejournal.com]

and asks Kono out.

OHMYGODPLEASE

[whetherwoman.livejournal.com]

I think this fandom needs some wingfic.

[nomelon.livejournal.com]

ohmygod, that is such a good idea. I can just see Steve being all kind of blinky and confused about them but coming to terms with it pretty quickly, cue lots of wandering around without his shirt on and driving Danny crazy, then using them to swoop in to save the day and not getting why Danny is so pissed at him for not being more careful about who sees him.

Or then if Danny got them, he would knock a lot of shit over and be so GRUMPY.

[ashism.livejournal.com]

Anything that mentions the tats?!! Or...just anything!

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

mmm... tattoo worship. yes please and thank you.

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

Iiii think there should be a story about hands—Danny's hands and Steve's hands and boys being v. handsy. :>

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

Oh god so on this.

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

The short "jokes" make me NUTS. I have declared a moratorium on them in my journal because holy cow, rarrrrrrr.

IN BETTER NEWS:

Steve fascinated by Danny's hands. Preferably in bed. Like - not even necessarily while having sex, just drowsily examining them and playing with his fingers and stuff.

Danny driven nuts by those lines between Steve's brows when he gets all sad.

One or the other exhausted, and the other being all bossy and, would you take care of yourself, geez etc

A lazy day. Completely ordinary things. Doing the dishes. Where's the laundry room? Watching a game. what do they do on their equivalent of a Sunday? (since I'm guessing Sunday is actually a Grace day, therefore Sunday would fall on Thursday or something)

Epic scrabble war.

hurt/comfort of ALL KINDS. Like, god, in your last story where Steve just sagged into Danny, sitting in the chair, looking at the spot where the blood spatter was? That gets me SO HARD.

Danny is a fucking ninja seal in the water. Not a SEAL. But just this lithe playful thing and Steve's all, WHAT THE FUCK, why have you been keeping this from me?

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

FJDSKFHDS GODDAMN IT CATE I WANT TO WRITE *ALL* OF THOSE THINGS

[jesswinchester8.livejournal.com]

Cliche-tastic hostage!fic? Steve gets taken hostage by pirates who 5-0 have managed to piss of on a grand scale - cue Danno freaking out (it had to be pirates, didn't it, couldn't have been a drug cartel or a rogue CIA agent or anyone who resembles a normal threat, oh no, Steve Mcgarret had to get himself kidnapped by JACK FUCKING SPARROW!), Chin and Kono being five types of competantly awesome in search and rescue, and general Danno/Steve 'oh fuck, i've only just realised that my life without you in it would be the suckiest pile of suck that ever sucked' AND I HAVE TO FIND YOU AND TELL YOU (and then beat you to death with your ridiculous chicken paper towel holder for getting kidnapped by JACK FUCKING SPARROW!)

*Cough* Huh, so apparently my cliche gland is overflowing today. Many apologies. Hope one of these lovely prompts on the thread tickles your muse because a new fic by you popping up on my flist always brightens my day :)

[futureperfect.livejournal.com]

Oh man, the fic I am totally NOT WRITING AT ALL is a Steve-gets-kidnapped one.

[nomelon.livejournal.com]

Steve gets turned into a girl. Because cliches seem to be the order of the day!

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

"Somehow this surprises me, I'm not sure why," Danny muses, tilting his head to better watch Steve take out three more drug runners using his - her - fists of righteousness, while they're armed with nothing more than AK-47s.

"Do I need to dickpunch you, here?" Kono asks, propping her head on her hand and sighing. "It's kind of no fun when Steve gets to do all the hitting."

"No, I meant--" Danny stops because he's really not sure what he meant, but ever since they dealt with that evil genius on that tiny island off of Niihau - and really, a guy with his own island, that wasn't enough of a clue that he was a mad scientist? What more did they need, a castle surrounded by wolves? - and Steve got turned into a woman, Danny's been feeling a little... weirded out.

Especially since Steve decided last week that she wasn't really all that gung-ho about switching back. "My balance is better, I'm hitting a little softer but my endurance is up," she'd shrugged. "Plus, now that Kono's introduced me to the wonders of the sports bra and, uh--" when Steve blushes now, it spreads down her neck instead of just pinking her ears-- "Other stuff, I'm pretty good with my lady parts."

"Just don't call them lady parts," Chin advised. "That's weird."

"Can I call my period my moon time?" Steve'd asked, with every indication of perfect seriousness.

"Jesus Christ," Danny muttered.

Now, Danny was getting to see that improved balance in action. Kono nudges him. "So," she asks. "You still want to ask Steve out now that she's got boobs?"

"What?" Danny says -- shrieks, if he's honest, and the last two drug runners swing their guns around to take aim at the crates that Danny and Kono aren't so much hiding behind as lounging against, but Steve brings them both down with a complicated looking split-body-chop... thing. Fucking SEALs.

"You know," Kono says.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You still stare at Steve's ass just as much as you used to," Kono says. "I'm just putting it out there."

h50 prompt

[laceymcbain.livejournal.com]

There can never be enough undercover in a gay bar fic! And hurt/comfort.

It would also be kind of awesome to have Danny complaining to his family back home (Jersey mob/mafia) about Steve, and they assume this is code for "please take care of this guy for me" and then various people are trying to kill Steve in creative ways, and they're all from JERSEY, and Steve's all WTF?, and Danny's, um, I might have accidentally put out a hit on you? Sorry?

Re: h50 prompt

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

I seriously read this as 'there can never be enough underwear in a gay bar fic' :D

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see one where Steve shocks the piss out of Danny with his acting skills when they have to pretend to be dating because- oh I don't know, Danny says that he thinks it'll be the best way to get this other goofy-in-love couple to talk to them about their--- something. He gets all shy and flustered and is so OBVIOUSLY in the first blush of love with Danny and it stuns Danny but he is addicted to it like WOAH and needs to make Steve act that way for reals.
I can see Steve busting his balls for falling for it (but really he's just pretending he doesn't have those ~feelings~ and is covering it up by being an ass)
...
AND SEX
AND END

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

....okay this is the kind of thing that might show up as a 30,000 word story in two weeks...

[(Anonymous)]

Danny does something badass and it's so hot Steve has to make his move. Like, did you see Steve's face when Danny did the detective thing with the champagne? It was the same face Steve made when Kono knocked out the fake-attorney assassin. Whatever else is going on inside that boy's head, I think we can agree that his #1 bullet-proof turn-on is badassitude.

Maybe, I dunno, Steve goes charging in with only Danny for backup again, and while Steve's on the upper floor checking stuff out Danny shoots three guys. Just as Steve comes running back down, Danny KO's a guy with the same uppercut he used on Steve that first day.

Honestly I'd love to read something like this even if you left out the slash, I love Danny being awesome. :)

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

ALSO BECAUSE IT IS MY BIRTHDAY I AM ASKING FOR ANOTHER THING:

Truth serum. Like, how has that not happened yet. Bonus if, in addition to Steve having to confess his big gay love for Danny, Kono has to admit to the fact that when she was five she was totally going to marry Chin. Meanwhile Danny and Chin were smart enough not to drink the truth serum and are just busy facepalming and wondering why their lives are so terrible.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

FJDSFHSDJKF OH MY FUCKING GOD OKAY THIS IS NOT AT ALL SOMETHING I CAN PRODUCE SUCCESSFULLY IN COMMENT FIC BUT I AM SO ON THIS, IT IS GOING TO BE A LATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BTW!!!) BUT IT IS HAPPENING, OH MY GOD YOU GENIUS FSDJKFHDSFHDSJF

[ravelqueen.livejournal.com]

yay prompting, I really, really need distraction right now so...I will go with the idea I have been trying to make someone write since the christmas episode, so here goes:

The Boyscout AU! were Danny and Steve meet, because Steve is boyscout leader and Grace is in the boyscouts (either because there are not enough girls for girls scout or because Steve doesn't see what the divide is there for or something^^) and so Danny meets Steve because Grace tells him how much she likes it because they, like, learned to skin rabbits or field medicine or something ;)

Maybe that tickles your (or somebodys, please I can't write at all or I would do it just to get this idea out of my head @_@) fancy^^

[trinaest.livejournal.com]

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm, uh, writing this? LOL

It is...not short (because apparently me + H50 = not short, like EVER) so not yet ready to go. Hopefully tomorrow. It's not precisely what you described, but I think it'll fit what you're looking for. And I'm having fun writing it! :D

[illian.livejournal.com]

Arthur and Eames come to Hawaii to lay low as it is one of the few decent places that they aren't wanted by the law (currently). Eames drags Arthur over to see his sister and niece, Rachel and Grace. Too bad its Danny's weekend with Grace . . .

Watson and Steve knew each other from Afghanistan. Watson and Danny bond over managing the disasters their emotionally stunted partners trigger. Cues Sherlock and Steve both getting panicked at them uniting jealous.

ALL CAPS COMMENT IS ALL IN CAPS:

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

fhdsjkfhsdjkf OKAY I WAS JUST TALKING TO hermette THE OTHER DAY ABOUT A CROSSOVER WHERE SAITO COMES TO TAKE OVER THE VOID IN THE HAWAIIAN MARKET THAT WAS CREATED WHEN NOSHIMURI WAS ARRESTED AND PULLED HIS INVESTMENTS. AND SAITO IS ALL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE YAKUZA IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THIS NEW FACTORY, AND THE GOVERNOR IS LIKE, I WILL PUT MY BEST MEN ON IT.

AND SAITO IS LIKE, IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU, I'D LIKE MY BEST MEN ON IT AS WELL.

CUE ALL OF STEVE'S PROJECTIONS BEING DANNY AND ARTHUR AND EAMES MAKING OUT IN THE CLOSET AND COBB BEING LIKE, YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER, DANNY? I HAVE A DAUGHTER!!!!!! KIDS!!!!!! AND DANNY BEING LIKE, STEVEN, GET THIS MAN AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I KILL HIM.

AND OH MY GOD, KONO/ARIADNE, ALL OF THE KONO/ARIADNE FOREVERRRRR

[fic-kitty.livejournal.com]

UM.

Ok, so, I might have tsunami on the brain and this is sort of sad unlike other prompts which are obvs HAPPY AND FUNNY, as the show means for all fic to be ever, and it could be triggering to even write about so FEEL FREE NOT TO.

BUT.

What I would like to see is a fic wherein there is another tsunami warning and because of that one case Danny is all "tsunami what?", only not really because he is a smart, cautious man, but then he finds out! That his daughter went to this private beach surfing party! And Rachel hasn't heard from them! So he has to go looking for her, and then little (little) tsunami happens and Danny is stranded on a rock? On the beach? With all the other kids? So that's adorable. And then Steve comes to rescue them, and everything's great.

AND THEN

Steve keeps acting all pissed off around Danny, and Danny can't find out why, and for, like, weeks there is this really tense detente around the office, and Chin and Kono start making bets among themselves what the problem is, and then Danny tries to fix it with football and beer, and Steve explodes from the pressure and has frantic, I MUST KNOW YOU ARE ALIVE sex with Danny and all is made clear.

The end!

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

Augh, okay, they are all kinds of things I love in this prompt--I MUST KNOW YOU ALIVE SEX, oh my god, I love that so much, and Steve being pissy because feelings and Rachel being worried and pressure explosion and FIX IT WITH FOOTBALL AND BEER, oh my god, I love that so much.

Buuuuuuuuut, augh, yeah, I just, I can't write about the tsunami. I can't even really think about it, I keep having these thoughts about how terrible the writers of that one episode must feel, actually, considering.

WHAT IF INSTEAD DANNY ACCIDENTALLY ENDS UP STRANDED IN THE FOREST? Or like, goes out in a boat and does not return, and everyone is like OH NO but really he just got lost and landed somewhere else, you know? Other scenarios with some of these same things, lest we avoid going into territory that could trigger folks or upset people or inadvertently make light of the disaster?

[lokiloo.livejournal.com]

Because I Liked You


Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say,
It irked you, and I promised
To throw the thought away.


To put the world between us
We parted, stiff and dry;
'Good-bye,' said you, 'forget me.'
'I will, no fear', said I.


If here, where clover whitens
The dead man's knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,


Halt by the headstone naming
The heart no longer stirred,
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.

When Danny gets very drunk, he is a grumpy mopey little ball of sad.

When Steve gets drunk, he is loose and languid and super fucking cuddly and just wraps himself around Danny.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

JDSFDSFJDSFDS OH MY GOD DRUNK CUDDLY STEVE

They have a barbecue, right, and it's Kono and Chin and Steve and Danny, and Danny has like four beers and gets all mopey, and Steve's behind him suddenly, wrapping his arms around Danny's waist--and Kono, when she gets drunk, is just crazy enthusiastic about everything, she is the happiest ever, and so she keeps nudging Chin and being like, AHAHAHAHA OFFICE ROMANCE AHAHAHAHAH, and Chin just sighs into his beer and seriously considers going into insurance sales for like, the 15th time today.

[seeingrightly.livejournal.com]

Okay WE NEED JERSEY TROPES. Seriously, just list all the stereotypes and tropes you can think of and I will try to do something with them collectively, idek.

Is there fic yet, btw, involving Jersey Shore at all? One day I will write Danny taking Steve to Seaside. Eventually.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO LIST JERSEY STEREOTYPES OKAY, PLEASE JUST WRITE A FIC WHERE DANNY'S ACCENT GETS WORSE WHEN HE'S FRUSTRATED (IT'S CANON! THAT SCENE WITH THE CAR! 95 DEGREE WEATHA, OH MY GOD, MY HEART MELTED) AND STEVE THINKS IT'S LITERALLY THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER AND TRIES TO GET HIM TO DO IT MORE.

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

So, I was telling someone about this in gchat yesterday.

Danny takes Catherine out to dinner in a real restaurant to say thank you for all the stuff she does for them. Totally platonic. (maybe it's an ongoing thing)

Steve finds out and uses H50 equipment to spy on them and generally acts like a freak.

Bonus points if the convo between Danny and Catherine is about the origins of the moniker Smooth Dog, which has to be the most ironic nick name ever.

(my braincanon says that's derived from a story called Misadventures in Manscaping)

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

djsfhsdfjk my headcanon for the origin of Smooth Dog is that Steve was the most SRS BSNS guy on his SEAL team at first, right, and everyone has a nickname but him because he was too intense, and he felt bad about that, but didn't know what to do about it, because missions are important, okay? And they were all at a bar one night, and there was this woman, and everyone was like, heyyyyyyy, THAT LADY IS HOT, and they all tried to flirt with her except Steve. And then she ended up on the barstool next to Steve somehow, and Steve tried to offer her a drink but spilled it on her instead, and she found him so adorably failtastic that she ended up going home with him.

AND THEN THE NEXT DAY EVERYONE WAS LIKE, LOLOLOLOL, MCGARRETT, YOU SMOOTH DOG, AND IT STUCK.
