So because
zarah5 and me have been maybe a liiiittle traumatised by all the angst in the finale (eggs notwithstanding), and wanted ALL THE HAPPY from the past season to make us feel the Steve/Danny endorphins like we're used to, we decided to compile our Top Ten McDanno moments of the series so far. ETA:
zarah5's ones are here!
So then I sat down trying to sort those out, and my initial list was thirty moments long, and those were just the LOL ones. This is maybe quite hard to do WHEN THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD AT GIVING US MCDANNO. I have AGONISED over the choices, but finally I have whittled them down to just ten. ARGH ARGH IT WAS SO HARD.
So here we go!
10. Steve lying to the Feds for his partner, which is when he realises there is literally NOTHING he won't do for this loud, angry, Jersey transplant he has somehow fallen head over heels for.
To wit:

9. The 'Sexy Eyes' cargument. Because Steve is A Goof who loves cheesy music/ loves to annoy Danny with cheesy music (I am undecided on the level of fucking with Danny going on). HIS SAD POUTY FACE WHEN DANNY DOESN'T LIKE IT. WHAT EVEN. ♥

8. When Steve rushes over tohold Danny's hand help Danny tail his brother.
[paraphrases] "Yeah, I know what 'nothing' means. You know what? Stay right there, I'm on my way."
TRUE LOVE. He's not about to let his Danny face this alone.
7. The "You're gonna pay for this" speech. THE HEARTSEYES. THE EYEHUMPING. STEVE'S SMUG LITTLE FACE. <333


6. Dinner with the Williams family. WHERE DO I EVEN START. SO MARRIED. SO IN LOVE.



5. Steve: "Since you look so... so good" /relieved, besotted smile/
Danny: "Yuh huh. You were worried, weren't you? I love you too, you goof."



4. The "Till I met him" speech at Kono's graduation. Steve's smug little 'that's right' lift of his eyebrows, OH MY GOD, I LOVE HIM. AND SO DOES DANNY. JUST LOOK AT THE HEARTSEYES HE GIVES HIM. I wish I had a gif of that, but hey. ETA2: NOW WITH MOAR ♥♥♥ THANKS TO THE AWESOME
uena, WHO MADE THESE FOR ME!!


And because he CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT STEVE...

ETA: THANKS TO THE FABAMAZING
quoththewriter, THERE IS NOW A GIF. GOD, THAT EYEBROW ACTION, NNNNNNNGH.

3. The "SO A DATE" with the Marquis up the mountain. As you know, I HAVE ~FEEEEELINGS ABOUT THAT ONE. Steve fixes his daddy's car and IMMEDIATELY calls Danny to try it out, because WHO ELSE IS HE GOING TO CALL, and Danny's all, "well done, babe", AND IT'S ALL SO MUCH LOVE AND NNNNNGH OH MY GOD SCOTTY CAAN WITH HIS TIE UNDONE AND HIS SHIRT OPEN, YES PLEASE. STEVE HAS ~FEEEEEEELINGS ABOUT THAT ONE, TOO.
"Temperamental. Just like you." AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE REASONS YOU LOVE, HIM, STEVE.

2. Steve's "I'm the one with the broken arm, but please be careful up there, my love, it's slippery" face. BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS DANNO SO MUCH. Even more than the airheart, this shows the depth of their feelings for each other, Danny all frantic "I will get you out, babe, I promise" (much like the most recent ep), and Steve's "I trust you with my life, babe, I know you will, just be careful, okay? I don't want you to get hurt".

1. "I know you." Possibly the most romantic moment in the season so far for me. This was the one that sold me on the pairing hook, line and sinker. It's just -- HE KNOWS HIM, OKAY. HE KNOWS HIM AND HE'S THERE FOR HIM AND DANNY'S BECOME PART OF HIS FAMILY AND HAS WORMED HIS WAY INTO HIS LIFE/HEART WITHOUT HIM REALISING, AND HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, HE IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND PROTECT HIM AND STAND BY HIM COME WHAT MAY. I LOVE THOSE TWO BOYS FOREVER AND EVER. <33333

It may be a controversial list, with many classic McDanno moments passed over in favour of DOMESTIC FLUFF and the little everyday moments that make us love them SO MUCH, but I gotta say, those are my absolute kryptonite, and I LOVE the two of them to distraction, beyond common sense, beyond any reason. I hope you've enjoyed them with me! <333

Date: 2011-05-18 05:58 pm (UTC)Well, the "You're not as alone here as you think" line when Steve stepped over all those lines to help Danny with his custody thin with Rach? THAT started my shippy feelings for these two.
"I know you" just pushed me over the edge and I was like, "Oh yes. I love you two guys. You need to be smished together."
And Danny's face in BOTH moments, being blind sided by STEEVE and all his FEEELINGS?
GUH.

It would have been #11! :D The I know you one, I saw the ep later than when it had aired, and I was like, SOLD right then and there. Basically what went through my mind was, JUST SOMEONE TRY TO TELL ME THEY ARE NOT IN LOVE AFTER THIS. JUST TRY IT SO I CAN LAUGH IN THEIR FACES.
Danny's face I think makes both of these moments. <333

Date: 2011-05-18 07:05 pm (UTC)BWAHA! That's pretty much my reaction to people who diss the 'ship. And then I respond with, "What show are YOU watching, huh?" Because, really, no one can look at these lists you two have compiled and say these two don't love each other.
I will never be convinced otherwise.
Also, I friended you if you don't mind. ♥

Date: 2011-05-18 07:08 pm (UTC)I WILL NEVER BE CONVINCED THAT THEY DO NOT LOVE EACH OTHER ETERNALLY, FOREVER AND EVER.
Yay! Not at all! <3

Date: 2011-05-18 07:11 pm (UTC)But when I just tipped over that slashy edge and said, "Yeah, okay, I see this now. I can do this." THEN, oh hell. The gates, I tell you. The were ripped open and now I'm hopeless for these two.
