Danny is a lot more...accepting of things than everyone (Steve included) thinks he is.

Well, that could make sense, considering he had one failed relationship. You kinda hinted on that in the futurefic - this person wouldn't leave him because fate and genetics are bonding them together - not just love.

Anyway, I'll be looking out for it once you get there.

As to the other: Deadlines can be a bitch. Good luck for them.
