Brain's at it again

So VH1 is playing Bon Jovi's Please Come Home For Christmas, and I'm struck all over again by how fucking hot the young Jon Bon Jovi is. I say again, because I used to have the worst crush on him as a teenager, seriously, I used to have all his/their albums, knew (still do, in fact) all the lyrics, god, I was obsessed. It's one of the reasons I love Danny so much -- in their very first music cargument with Steve Jonathan Bon Jovi was the first thing Danny said.

So of course this got me to thinking. And you just know younger Danny crushed on JBJ so hard, I mean, the man was nnnnnngh fit as fuck (still is, but let's focus on the young JBJ right now), and I am certain Danny went to see him live and was all jafjghjghflgsjhg WOW and starry-eyed and uncomfortable in the pants deaprtment and all that, as it should be. I mean. That mouth, JFC.

And now I want Steve finding out about that somehow -- maybe he sees Danny perving over a video of that someone's playing as a Christmas-spirit kind of thing, and Danny's all *______* nnnngh. And then Steve rips the piss out of him.

And while we're at it, I got a couple candy canes the other day, and fuck, I'd forgotten what eating one entailed, AND NOW I WANT DANNY CATCHING STEVE EATING ONE AND ALMOST PASSING OUT AS ALL THE BLOOD FROM HIS HEAD HEADS SOUTH.

Basically the closer we get to Christmas, THE MOAR I WANT ALL THE CHRISTMAS CLICHES. Should we maybe have a H50 Christmas Trope fest? What do you guys think? It would make me pretty darn happy, I won't lie. :D :D :D

Let's see what everyone thinks, eh?

[Poll #1789858]

In other news,

andrealyn seems to have infected me with her Steve/Danny You've Got Mail idea AND NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT GAH. It would be epistolary-type, made up of emails and text messages and it would be Steve/Danny and ensamble. AND I SHOULD STOP THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO WRITE THE FAKE HUSBANDS AU. /0\

There's nothing about this post that I don't like.

FILL IN THE POLL BB GO ON <3

I know, right? I AM FEELING PRETTY HAPPY/CAFFEINATED TODAY (take your pick). THUS, MOAR H50 GOODNESS.

I WANTED TO CLICK ALL OF THEM BUT I RESTRAINED MYSELF.

I JUST DRANK A DELICIOUS SUGARY LATTE AND AM FEELING PRETTY GOOD MYSELF. Also, since I have all permutations of Steve/Danny/Kono on the brain lately, I am now imagining Kono sitting on Santa!Danny's lap. Whyyyyyyyy. NOTE TO SELF: SANTA IS NOT A KINK. :(

AHAHAHA DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. :D :D :D Also I would TOTALLY BE DOWN WITH THAT, JUST SAYIN'.

Don't feel bad, bb, THE TICKY BOXES ARE THERE TO BE TICKED. <3

AND BY SITTING I MEAN...YEAH.

I now desperately need this fest to happen. Oh! Maybe we could ask the mods at

five_0_frolic if they'd be interested in hosting some kind of holiday prompt fest? I know they're doing an informal Halloween one right now, so I bet they'd be down with that. :) I'll run it by them, if you want? Or if you wanted to organize it yourself, that is also okay!

GOES WITHOUT SAYING.

This fest is pretty much going to happen, you can be sure of that. :D And I would be very happy to organise it! Do you think we should make a comm? I was thinking just posting the prompt post to my LJ and then everyone can fill it on their own journals and send me the link and I would compile a massive post with all the links? Actually I would like to do this, because I've never done anything like that before, and I think it'll be fun to get one organised! AND OF COURSE I HAVE ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF! :D

That sounds like a good idea! Like, more organized than a comment meme, which I like, but not too formal. Would you have a prompt collection post, where people leave prompts (maybe screen comments for this)? And then after a week or so, you could put up the prompt post and let people start writing. No claims or anything, but people could just comment to the prompt post with a link when they write something, and say which prompt it was for? Just throwing out ideas! What were your thoughts? A comm might be a little more organized and make people more likely to participate, only because I think some people are intimidated posting to people's private journals, but that might not be true across the board. I think it depends on how much time you have and how you want to run it.

EXCITEMENT.

Oh, yes, I like that idea muchly! :D

I think I'll go with the structured posts idea -- because that way people won't be intimidated to write -- since it's meant to be fandom-wide-accessible. And yes, I like the idea about screening comments and then compiling a prompt list, and there will be no maximum amount of people writing one prompt, just people helping themselves! And yes, replies to that post with the links, and then putting them all together! And they can post their fics on the comm if they wanted to, as well -- or every day I could make a list of links and post it up on the comm -- that might work, too!

MUCH EXCITEMENT. I'll make another poll in a bit and link it up on the comm so people can tell me what they would want to do, and how they would feel most comfortable to participate! :D

:D \o/

You missed an option off the last one - MULLED WINE. Also, GINGERBREAD HOUSES.

Edited 2011-10-26 13:51 (UTC)

THE TRUTH IS THAT THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER 20 OPTIONS ON THE LAST QUESTION BUT THE POLL WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANY MORE OPTIONS TO PUT DOWN. DX

BOO YOU, LJ.

I might just have to transport the boys to Europe for a Christmas fic... otherwise they're just not doing it properly :P

I KNOW, RIGHT? D: DEPRIVING US OF ALL THE OPTIONS IN THE WORLD. DX

Ooooooh!! Do want!!

Every poll must have all the ticky boxes ever!!!

They can take Gracie to see Father Christmas in Lapland! And have reindeer sleigh rides! And play in the snow! And drink glöggi! And Danny can complain about Steve's complete lack of compunction about eating reindeer stew in front of Grace, especially after they spent the afternoon hanging out with them and feeding them carrots and and and!

Why is it time for me to go back to work already? :(

Ahahaha YES. YESSSS. STEVE DOESN'T CARE THAT HE MIGHT BE EATING RUDOLPH. :D

Boo hiss work! :(

I wouldn't want Steve to bust on Danny too much about JBJ because he'd be too busy being jealous and trying to style his hair like Jon had it in "Living on a Prayer."

And I lost control of myself in the Christmas poll--I just started clicking boxes and I couldn't stop--sorry!

Ahahahahaha THIS SO MUCH OH MY GOD. *_______* ALSO DANNY'S FACE WHEN HE GOES TO PICK STEVE UP AS USUAL AND WALKS IN ON THAT.

Dinnae fash yerself -- like I said, the ticky boxes are ALL THERE TO BE TICKED. SURELY THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A TICKY BOX. YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO MAKE IT FEEL REDUNDANT.

It's happening. You know it's happening.

WE BOTH KNOW IT'S HAPPENING. THERE'S NO ESCAPING IT. GAH.

This entire post is wonderful.

You don't know this but I have a serious mint addiction/kink. :D

Er... SO DO I. >.> But mostly I have a 'Steve sucking on a candy cane in clear view' kink. JUST SAYIN'.

You know, one of those really, big, thick ones would probably cause Danny's head to explode... I'm just sayin. *eg*

OH OH OH OH MY GOD FORGET DANNY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS IS MAKING MY HEAD EXPLODE, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. *_______*

I mean, can't you see Steve being all innocent and probably distracted by something he's reading as he tilts it into his mouth.

Danny swallows his tongue...

(I like how they refer to them as "barber poles"! OMG!)

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN, OKAY. IT. NEEDS. TO.

OMG, IT REALLY DOES.

AAAH WHO DIDN'T HAVE A CRUSH ON JON BON JOVI? SRSLY.

I love ALLLL of your ideas.

SRSLY. HAVE THEY SEEN THE MAN. AHFJGKFHDJGHFDH I LURVED HIM SO MUCH, I WANTED TO HAVE HIS BAAAAABIES.

EXCELLENT. \0/

EPISTOLARY FIC. *_________*

Actually...Danny/Steve goodness aside, all I can think of is Kono sexting. ;) IT'S CANON AFTER ALL. :D

EPISTOLARY FIIIIIC <3<3<3 You know me well.

THERE SHALL BE KONO SEXTING, I PROMISE. Giving Danny ideas about what to text his Mystery Hook-up. And Danny blushing A Lot.

I clicked on everything on the poll, LOL. Also, yes, to Danny's teenage crush on Bon Jovi, yes to You've Got Mail (I saw that idea and thought it was great, would be thrilled if you wrote it), and also yes to Fake Husbands, haha! YES TO EVERYTHING. (Personally, I think Steve hates Christmas, although he did seem pretty happy in the Xmas ep last season.)

(Steve and Danny Christmas shopping and bickering over everything.)

Can't say I blame you! I would have, too, if I hadn't made it! :D

EVERYTHING ON THAT LIST IS HAPPENING, JSYK.

andrealyn and I have decided to co-write it, her as Steve and me as Danny! \0/ EPICNESS. I also think Steve hates Christmas -- probably because he never had anyone to spend it with (not that he realises this is what his ingrained dislike is, the goof). Danny and Gracie and Team set off to rectify that.

THIS. SO MUCH. IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE PROMPTS, REMEMBER IT SO YOU CAN MAKE ITTTT!! OR ALTERNATIVELY WRITE IT. I'M EASY.

I tend to be a bit Grinchy when Christmas starts being thrown around before it's even my birthday, but this year I've been feeling it. Also, it's been so long since I wrote a heavily Chrismassy fic, I reaaaaaaaaalllyyyyyyyyy want this Christmas trope meme, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I used to have Christmas for a number of years (working in a bookshop will do that to you), but this year, for the first time in ages, I'm feeling it, too! :D Makes a nice change from my usual :/ attitude! :D THERE SHALL BE A FEST, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED. *nodnod* WE CAN ALL SHAMELESSLY INDULGE WITH NO ONE TO JUDGE US, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE STEVE/DANNY FOR CHRISTMAS AND NOTHING WILL HURT.

Because I am in this horrible tropey mood, I want all of this.

I am NEVER going to get my holiday fic excange fic finished between this and my Frog Prince trope fic. GOD!

I LOVE ALL THE TROPES EVER, always have! <3

You arrrrre, bb, you'll get there! And the whole point of this is that it doesn't have to be thousands and thousands of words, just something light and fluffy and fun! :D So no pressure, just love and playfulness and rainbows and kittens and Steve/Danny! <3

I'm already thinking of a "Steve hates Christmas" plot bunny and OMFG WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?

I am actually writing Danny as the Frog freaking PRINCE (sorta, Steve's actually the prince) and now I want Christmas Trope.

It's official. My brain is broken. Good thing this wouldn't have to be long because my frog prince AU wasn't supposed to be long, but it will be because I cant shut up.

*sob*

Heeee I REGRET NOTHING. :D :D

Well that sounds AWESOME, just so you know.

It's okay, bb -- welcome to the WHY BRAIN WHY club! :D That tag is very likely my most frequently used tag, I'm not even kidding. D: LOTS OF TIME TO GET EVERYTHING DONE. I'm going to put together a post with rules and whatnot now, and post an announcement on the comms, and then host a prompt post from tomorrow until midnight on 30th Oct. Then on 31st Oct I'll put up the prompt list, and then people will have a whole month (and even two) to put something together, since it'll run until 31st Dec/1st Jan or something!

What are you talking about, Steve loves Christmas. He just doesn't want anyone to know because declaring you love decorating trees with frilly, colourful things and baking cookies is kind of gay.

THANK GOD HE NOW HAS GRACIE TO USE AS A ~~beard~~ EXCUSE.

See I think Steve hates Christmas, because his poor fragile heart, he hasn't had anyone to celebrate it with for like over half of his life, and it's a defence mechanism. BUT NOW he has Danno, and Grace, and A Team, and things are different now, WHICH HE IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHEN NO ONE BUYS HIS EXCUSES.

FFFT. OR THAT. YES. Because now he realizes just what an amazing holiday it is when you can share it with family and baking cookies is just THE BEST because now you don't have to watch them turn bad in the next few days when you can't finish them all by yourself.

Also. Danny makes the best santa because he takes his role very seriously and makes everyone, Steve included, sit on his lap and tell them their christmas wish.

EVERYTHING IN THIS COMMENT IS A WORLD OF YES. God, my heart when I read the bit about the cookies, AKLHFFJGH STEVE THEY WILL HELP YOU NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE, BABE. ;_____;

ALSO YOU SHOULD TOTALLY PROMPT THAT. \0/ \0/

Ok, so after reading your sweet idea I wrote you a little Bon Jovi thing, hope you like it! Enjoy!
--
There’s soft music coming from Danny’s office, and it makes Steve stop in his tracks. Danny’d been working on the paperwork for their latest case all afternoon – and been complaining about it non-stop – and had finally left about half an hour ago, for good as Steve had thought, but he’s obviously been wrong. He steps over to Danny’s door and eases it open carefully, peeking inside to see what his partner is doing.

Danny’s sitting at his desk, looking at his computer screen, obviously entranced by what he’s watching, and there’s this small, beatific smile on his face that Steve usually associates with Grace and that makes something twist almost painfully in his belly because he’d like nothing more than have it directed at him, just once. But then the music finally registers with him, and he can’t help grinning.

“Really, Danny? Bon Jovi? You’ve really got nothing better to do? What about that paperwork?”

Danny just flaps his hand at him, as if he’s trying to brush off an annoying fly.

“Shut up, I’m listening to this. Please Come Home For Christmas, it’s a classic. Gracie was right, YouTube really is the best thing ever, I haven’t heard this in ages. And it’s waking very fond memories, so shoo! You’re disturbing my reminiscing.”

Steve is still grinning because this is too good, it’s as if Christmas has come early, and he rounds the desk to watch the music video over Danny’s shoulder.

“You’re reminiscing? You play with the thesaurus again, Danno? And about Bon Jovi? Did you hit your head when we drove through that door?”

Danny finally turns away from the monitor to glare at him, and Steve wonders if maybe he’s the one who hit his head because that’s the only explanations for the rush he’s feeling at having Danny’s attention on him like that.

“That was not a door, Steven, it was a freaking steel gate! It might’ve escaped your notice, but my car is not a tank, and it’s not equipped to be a battering ram. And… No, you know what, I’m not doing this right now, I’m not getting into the next round of crazy-shit-I-have-to-educate-Steve-about. I’m in a good place, and you’re not ruining it for me with your uninformed and philistine opinions about Jon Bon Jovi. So you either zip it, or you leave, there’s the door, please close it on your way out, thank you.”

With that he restarts the video he’d paused and Steve maybe pouts a bit – he’s not admitting to anything here, he’s got a reputation to lose after all – but he stays silent because he really doesn’t want to leave. He sees this kind of mellow Danny – that wasn’t even a proper rant just now – not nearly often enough, and if he wasn’t a bit scared of Danny’s reaction, Steve would like to hug him and just possibly never let go again. But as that’s not happening, he takes the next best thing which is learning more about a younger Danny.

“Okay, so Bon Jovi is your go-to happy place, I get it. But… what kind of memories are we talking here? Fireplaces? Milk and cookies? Make-out sessions on the couch?”

“December 1991, Red Bank,” Danny says, the smile having returned to his face, and Steve doesn’t even notice that he’s steadily inching closer to Danny’s chair until he can rest his arms on it, and if he bent forward just a bit, he could lean his head on Danny’s. “Bon Jovi gave a Christmas Benefit there. Don’t ask me how we got in, Mark – he was my best friend at the time – somehow got tickets through a friend of a cousin of one of his father’s colleagues or whatever, and Matty was furious because we didn’t take him, and he buried some of my favorite records in the snow and Mom and Dad grounded him for two weeks. It was beautiful! And we had these terrible fake IDs because we were only fifteen, and we drank more beer than was probably good for us, and I only remember that we got to the Swimming River and decided that it was a good idea to go ice-skating at two in the night. But the concert, it was amazing, let me tell you. We were right in the front and wow, Jon Bon was seriously hot. I had the biggest crush on him, and it made for some uncomfortable moments, if you get my drift, but it was so worth it.”

Steve’s been nodding along all this time, imagining a teenaged Danny in a washed out t-shirt screaming himself hoarse at a Bon Jovi concert, hands flailing everywhere, but at that last one his head suddenly jerks up and he straightens, and there’s this strange, almost burning sensation spreading through his chest.

“You… you had a crush on him?” he croaks out because that seems to be the important point here, the thing his mind has latched onto, and it’s only when Danny looks up at him with a sort of guarded expression that he realizes how that must’ve sounded.

“Yeah, you got a problem with that?”

“No, no not at all,” Steve is quick to reassure his partner, “just… why? I mean, okay, he’s kind of handsome, if you like this type, but… yeah.”

“Kind of handsome? What are you even… Wait a second…”

There’s a shrewd look in Danny’s eyes before they start twinkling, and then he’s out of his chair and in Steve’s personal space faster than Steve can blink.

“What’s that face, Steven, huh? Why are you pouting? And why are you wearing aneurism face with a side of Imma-kill-that-bastard, huh? I’ll tell you why, you’re jealous. You’re jealous of a crush I had almost twenty years ago on a pop star, and this, right here, just made my day. You’re so ridiculous, babe, you have no idea, but hey, I’ve known that all along and this is actually valuable information.”

Steve wants to deny that he’s jealous – honestly, who gets jealous over a celebrity? – wants to declare that he’s certainly not ridiculous, but all of these thoughts fly right out of his head when Danny wraps his hand around Steve’s neck, tugs him down and kisses him, firmly and insistently. For a moment, Steve is too stunned to do anything, this is more than he ever dreamed he’d get, but then his hands land on Danny’s waist, and he’s drawing Danny even closer until there’s not an inch of space left between them, opening his mouth and letting himself sink into the taste and the feel and the warmth that is pure Danny.

When they break apart for air, Steve leans his forehead against Danny’s and just breathes, keeping his eyes closed until he hears Danny chuckling quietly.

“You know, now you can’t say anything against Bon Jovi ever again. Because he basically got us here. He and your crazy jealousy issues of course.”

And Steve just has to kiss him again at that because there’s nothing he can say in reply, and really he knows that Danny’s going to be a pain in the ass about this, that Danny’ll probably make him listen to all the Bon Jovi songs in existence from here on out. Steve finds that he minds it surprisingly little.

“I still don’t get what you saw in him,” Steve says in-between the tiny kisses he’s now pressing to Danny’s jaw, making his way down to the other’s throat, “I also had an earring when I was younger, and I bet it looked much better on me.”

Danny laughs, tilting his head back to give Steve better access while his hands are sneakily slipping under Steve’s shirt and onto his bare skin, making him shiver.

“I’m sure it did, babe, I’m sure it did. Which is why I’m here, doing this with you, and not with Bon Jovi.”

There’s a fierce little thrill of possessiveness running through him, together with a sense of happiness he hasn’t felt in a long time, and he clutches Danny even tighter, wrapping his arms around him securely and burying his face in Danny’s neck.

And Steve knows it’s extremely sappy, but he can’t help thinking that he doesn’t have to come home for Christmas because he’s already found his home, right here.

kljhsdafljkfhgjhfg OH MY GOD. OH MY GODDDD. AKH;HG DANNOOOOO <3<3<3 And STEVE, he is so RIDICULOUS, ajgjkfgfgdh Danno hug him for me, will ya?

Gah, this is just delicious, seriously, my cheeks are hurting from grinning so hard. And I can just see young Danny, all bravado and buzzing energy, all the stars in his eyes. <3 kjkfjjgjajfdh Steve you hold on tight now! <3<3<3<3<3

Sorry I'm so late, just wanted to say thanks, and I'm happy you enjoyed it! I love young Danny - and I think Steve does too, just saying - and I bet he got up to all sorts of crazy shit. :)

But YES, Steve is most ridiculous ever, but he's also soo cute and cuddly, and I want to hug him ALL THE TIME. :D Unfortunately I can't, so I'll have Danny do it for me.

Anyway, hope you have a great weekend and get everything done you want to do! :)
