Meme...

So I am currently trying to write some more darkish kink bingo squares and could use some fun. So here's a meme:

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

1) I wrote it because I wanted to try my hand at a pairing-less wank fic but even so in my mind Danny is the eventual partner for Steve...like always.

2)I really wanted to show a softer, more relaxed side to Steve and I see this as being a ritual of his long into the future, significant other or no.

3)I figured a lot of this was Steve's love affair with Hawaii now that he has finally returned home where he can relax and be himself. So I suppose the background is his time away has made him even more attached to the island.

...you had to make it hard with a drabble! I hope I gave you something. :D

Hey, I could have been really mean. I almost chose your one Danny/Chin! =D

Kidding of course, what you gave me is wonderful. Thanks for sharing more about your fic.

Oh dear lord, the Danny/Chin. That's simple...there is no back-story or future. I just wrote it cause my BFF likes food porn with sweets and Chin brought Danny sweets in canon. Plus she likes the idea of that pairing.

Then it languished on my hard drive forever half done until you did your challenge. Thankfully it fit kink bingo too because it was hard for me to write. Not gonna lie, I found the actual writing to be boring and workman-like unlike the Steve/Danny and Steve/Mary fics I've done.

I think my problem is I just don't feel Chin as a character and he's my least favorite of the team too. But I shouldn't whine. And I'm glad you liked it!

1) When I was first writing the fic I thought it would include a sex scene, but the more I wrote the more I realized that Steve was not emotionally in a place where that could happen yet.

2) I had initially considered a time stamp into the future when they actually went out on their first real date after Danny got out of the hospital but decided to let it lie. They would have gone for beers. Of course.

3)This entire fic was my way of writing ALL THE CLICHES and so I researched warm weather hypothermia quite a bit and had a friend who'd experienced hypothermia help so I had to change some things a long the way to fit the symptoms.

And a bonus reveal: So I have a thing for hand holding. A "normal" person might have ended on a kiss but not me. Nope. Part of it was that I didn't thing Steve was there yet but I also just love hand holds. If you look at like...all...of my fic you'll see it.

1) It all started when I got blown away by an image of Steve as a drunk. At that point I had to actually figure how he got there and the idea of being lost and rudderless just hit me. But don't ask how they managed to catch Wo Fat. I have no idea.

2) Rachel initially came off as a bit more angry and bitter but my beta helped me dial that back and retool the conversation at dinner away from that. Thankfully.

3) I angsted continually over how to make this a getting together fic that didn't diminish the seriousness of depression. There was actually one point where I was afraid I would have to scrap the whole thing because I didn't want to put anything out there that would indicate that love could conquer all. That was when I realized Steve had to go back into the Navy. Until then nothing worked. And then I had to make him keep that decision even when Danny came around. That was the hard part. Not ending it too early.
