Calling for recs:

Does anyone have any favorite h/c stories to rec? I'm looking for H50, NCIS LA or Spn. I really want some comfort. Any length.


A meme:

I saw this while I was out of town.

1. Go to page 7 of your most recent WiP
2. Count seven lines down
3. Copy and paste the next seven lines of text

This is from my casestory and it's more than seven lines because I'm a rebel.



“Commander Tillman to see Lt. Commander McGarrett. Would you to direct me to his office?”

Danny grit his teeth. “Sure if you could tell me what this is about?”

“Sorry. This is a military matter,” Tillman said dismissively.

“Concerning a case?” Danny pressed slightly perturbed.

Tillman adjusted the cap under his arm, steel blue eyes peered down at Danny like he was annoying errand boy. “Concerning things above your pay grade.”

Danny's blood pressure doubled, a diatribe on the tip of his tongue; but he kept a lid on his temper, and yeah, Steve owed him for that.

And here's the rest:


H50 fics:

I tend to have fav authors rather than fav stories in this fandom for some reason, and I could pretty much rec any story one of those authors has ever written. You'd usually top my list, but I guess you don't really need me to rec your own fics (*g*), so I'll just ask if you've read the stories (all gen) of Cokie316, Ridley C. James, AZGirl, sockie1000, and Tari Roo?

If you don't mind WIPs (from authors who've finished all their fics so far), I can also rec two new stories (gen) on ffnet that I already love to pieces:

Ho'okahi by Cokie316 (she's already in my fav authors list)
The title, "Ho'okahi" means 'alone' and Steve McGarrett feels very alone, even in the presence of his friends.

Lost by montez
How lost can a person get before it to late? Will they be able to reach out for help and will that help arrive in time? Warning-contains dark themes.

I'm running out of time here, so that's all for now! If you haven't been swamped by recs tomorrow, I'll see if I can hunt down some more H50 recs. I hope you'll find some great comfort fics to read - I don't know about you, but reading stories like that is sometimes the only thing that gets me through tough spots in RL.

Why do I get the impression I probably won't like Commander Tillman very much? ;-)

Trust your gut on this one :D


I'll def check out some of the authors, I've liked Ridley's stuff in the past and I know Ms. Roo very well :-P

Thank you for all the help!

Ridley's stories stop with the end of season 1, so it's very likely you know her stories already. I love her stuff. :)

Here's a couple of best-of h/c recs for the other three authors, to spare you from having to go through all those profiles:

Hekili Pao by Cokie316
The words 'back up' aren't even in his dictionary! (That's a longer one and I think you might love it - it certainly has all the elements that make me squee!)

Weekend by AZGirl
The team is worried when Steve disappears for an entire weekend. (Just a bit of h/c.)

Stand Down by AZGirl
After all he's been through, Steve needs to realize that it's okay for him to stand down now. Missing scene and spoilers for episode 2.10 Ki'ilua.

And Your Enemies Closer by sokie1000
The team is still reeling from the break-up and arrests. Can they come together to clear their own? This story picks up where "Oia'i'o" the season 1 finale ends.

That's it. I think that should help you to be quickly able to tell if you want to read more of their stories. :)
