FIC Tuna Surprise!

Title: Tuna Surprise!
Characters: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, Grace Williams
Fandom: Hawaii Five-0 (Shifter Verse AU)
Summary: Grace wants to help out in the new household.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Grace is adorable.
Disclaimer: No one recognizable belongs to me. Steve cannot really shift into a tiger on H50 (although that would be cool, right?).
Author's Note: So I was having a discussion with [livejournal.com profile] elisgalpal  about Grace and family dynamics and her making lunch for Steve the other day. And I got this image of a “helpful” seven year old…and Steve would want so badly to not upset her…but really…he would not want to eat this. Then again, she’s too adorable to say no to, especially since his tiger sees her as his kitten. (And yes I will probably address that issue at some point.)


Steve yawned and stretched, enjoying the flexibility he had in his tiger form. Cocking his head, he listened intently for the location of the rest of his family. From upstairs came the sounds of Danny moving around and a minute later, his voice could be heard, “Tuck the sheets in, corners perfectly squared. Smooth out the sheets so no wrinkles are found. Pillows go here, firm on this side, soft on that. Perfect. Even Mr. Anal Navy SEAL can’t complain now.”

Steve was tempted to go upstairs and jump on the bed, just to see what Danny would do, but the stealthy sounds from the kitchen drew his attention. There were no new smells; nothing out of place so he knew someone hadn’t invaded his domain, but his protectiveness meant he had to check on Grace.

He crept towards the room, carefully avoiding the board that would creak under his three hundred plus pounds and was almost to the doorway when he heard a childish voice call, “Here, kitty, kitty.”

Pausing for a moment, he tried to figure out if Grace was alone in the kitchen. He chuffed when he didn’t smell anyone other than her and backed up as she repeated, “Here, kitty, kitty.”

Slinking forward, he peered around the corner of the door, ears pricked forward as he tried to figure out who she was calling. When Danny had moved in, Steve had dug a small stool out of storage, wanting Grace to have a sturdy surface if she needed something higher than her reach. It was the same one he and Mary had used as children and it touched something inside him to see her standing on it now as she stirred something carefully in a bowl.

She turned, teetering for a moment on the stool but righting herself before he could move or become too concerned, a smile breaking out across her face. “There you are,” she said when she spied him. “Come on. I made lunch.”

Steve was about to back out, intending to go upstairs to get Danny and find some clothes so he could shift back into his human self, when the other man strode into the kitchen, almost treading on the tiger who’d been in the process of moving. A complicated maneuver later, they managed not to trip or actually step on each other and Steve was pressed up against Danny’s legs; eying Grace. He loved the little girl, almost as much as he loved her father, but he strongly objected to being referred to as kitty and he had a very bad feeling about what was in the bowl.

Danny had apparently heard her words or put the evidence together (the man was not a detective for nothing) because he’d worked a hand into Steve’s fur and was looking at his daughter somewhat exasperatedly. “Grace…what did you make for lunch?”

Grinning wider, she tilted the bowl so they could both see it. “Tuna fish! Steve’s a tiger. And tigers are kitties. So doesn’t he eat that?”

Danny bit his lip as he quite obviously held back a laugh. “Monkey, while Steve is part-cat. And he does like fish, I don’t think he really likes canned fish. How about we throw that out? And cook something together?” He glanced down at Steve who even in tiger form had a look of disgust on his face. “Maybe you could help us? Go find some clothes? And start a fire?” he suggested.

Awwww! This is full of love and sweetness and Gracie is wonderful and I adore how Danny understands what Steve is being so sweet about NOT saying, even in tiger form, despite the look of disgust.

This was too cute!

Steve should consider himself lucky that Grace didn't get any actual cat food for his "tiger" lunch. :)

[identity profile] samjohnsson.livejournal.com 2011-01-17 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh gods. Canned tuna. Only one grade better than cat food, really. And at least Steve's already learned to be paranoid about what Grace can do to/with/for a big kitty.

So excited to see this 'verse continue!

Yay! More Shifter-verse! THANK YOU! As always, your Grace is adorable and hard to resist. I can just imagine Steve and Danny's faces at her suggestion of lunch for Steve.... Classic. Well done! Thank you for the update.

It was the same one he and Mary had used as children and it touched something inside him to see her standing on it now as she stirred something carefully in a bowl.

This is a really cute visual. I love this series and I'm so glad you're continuing with it!

I was actually thinking of a stool my gramma still owns (which I actually found in her basement this past week) that all of us kids used...and if it hadn't been like 11:45 when I was writing this I probably would have gone downstairs to look at what's written on it.

I never stopped, I've just got a list a mile long of things that I need to write...if you check my Eljay there's I think four for this series on it.

I do love that she made the tuna for him...and yeah, really not something he might ever wanna eat! I adore Gracie and the men in her life.

*giggles&

oh grace! you're so sweet! Thankfully Danny was there to save Steve from the tuna-nightmare :P

I just read through this series today... so fun! I love the romanticism of the bond between them, and the sweetness of Steve's relationship with Grace. I look forward to more!

awwwwwwww so funny

Loved this, so glad you did another story for this series. I was afraid you were done and these are my favorite Steve/Danny fics

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
:-) Right? Because it's Steve and while he can survive on MREs...they really aren't appetizing.

Are you kidding? Danny totally went upstairs and laughed his fucking ass off.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't she? She totally needs a warning of her own. :-)

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yippee! You used the tiger!icon. Now is it the right tiger? Cause you know there's a specific tiger that Steve changes into.

He is curious. He's a cat after all. Dude, wouldn't you be worried?

Touch is important to them. Reassurance and grounding and just...nice. :-)

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
The ones I have left or the ones I am planning...are all pretty long...so they're going to take a bit to write up. Glad you're enjoying it.

LOL yeah...he's kinda...torn between thinking Grace is the most adorable thing ever and wanting to run in terror.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I know you do.

Well...who says I'm not gonna keep doing it?
