A/N: Everyone hear that? That was me banging my DLL loving head against a brick wall constantly. Pretty much sucks right now if you like anyone other than Jo. Don't get me wrong. I really, really like her... I do... And I understand that they need to introduce her just like they did Lindsay... but they've got other storylines too! We got screwed over last year with the lack of Lucy, Danny and Lindsay around christmas time and now they're seriously going to start that crap again? GAHHHH NY! You make it really hard to love you sometimes. Really, you do.
And that episode. That was the 150th episode? I couldn't tell... but then again, the 100th episode was nothing really to write home about.
Sometimes NY, you do worry me. I'm not saying they should give us DL, however, if it ain't broke don't fix it - it seems to me that they're trying to reinvent themselves but to me it just doesn't seem natural. There hasn't been a natural progression of Jo moving in... surely there's the need for a teething period but clearly not.
gah. All I know is that if I was running that show, I'd be doing it wayyy differently... but alas, I don't, so I'll just keep my opinions to myself on my silly little post-eps, that attempt to fill in the blanks that the show epically fails. You hear that PTB, FAILS to do.
... wow. sorry about that! Apparently a rant was in need.
As a warning, this chapter has quite a strong T rating. It's nothing too risqué, but proceed with caution anyway.

Post ep oneshot, season 7, episode 10: Shop 'till You Drop.
Glancing behind him as he made his way into the locker room, Danny listened intently to the sounds of a possible other participant. Assessing that he was most probably alone, he moved over to his locker to kill some time before she-
"What the-"
For a moment, he panicked. Who in the hell was tying something around his eyes? He was just about to protest until he felt a small hand take his. He let out a chuckle as she led him from the locker room, to what he could only assume was the ladies' bathroom.
"You know, with Mac so wrapped up in Jo, I quite like this new found freedom," she purred in his ear. "Nobody notices when we disappear."
"Well, I wouldn't go that far... maybe just... maybe they're used to it."
"Oh yeah, because we sneak off for a quickie in the toilets all the time," she deadpanned as she also deadlocked the bathroom door. Chuckling, Danny un-wrapped the tie from around his eyes; he looked down with questioning eyes as he realised who the tie belonged to.
"Um... Linds?" he questioned, holding up the material. "Where um... where did you get this from?"
"I broke into Flack's locker," she smirked.
"Oh wow," Danny dropped the tie on the floor and cringed. "Okay... Linds, let me go over a little something... I'm all for extracurricular activities at work, but really, do we need the assistance of Flack's ugly ass ties?"
"Hey!" she protested. "I picked that one because I thought it was particularly beautiful."
"You need your eyes testing," he teased as he reached for her hands and pulled her towards him.
"Shut up," she giggled as he lifted himself onto the counter and positioned her in-between his legs. "I wanted the element of surprise."
"That text was surprising enough. It's been a while since I got a message like that."
"Well, with Mac and Jo out of the building... and you being on your lunch-" her voice trailed off as she stood on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his jaw.
"Fuck," he uttered as she followed the path of his neck, leading to his shoulder. "Linds... Linds, we- we can't."
"Why'd you meet me then?" she whispered against his skin, sending chills down his back.
"Because- 'cause- um..."
"That's what I thought," she giggled. "Now kiss me."
Not needing to be told twice, Danny instantly fused his lips to her's passionately, rendering her speechless. Pressing herself tightly up against his lower half, Lindsay's hands slowly began crawling up his thigh, at a tortuously slow pace, which in turn drove him wild.
"Best idea you ever had," he whispered as he pressed a series of open-mouthed kisses to her jaw. He then stopped completely and pushed her away from him slightly. Before she could even question what he was doing, he had jumped down from the counter top, grabbed her by the waist and placed her on the counter in his spot. Instantly, his lips were on her neck again as he pinned her to the wall.
With swollen lips, Lindsay bit down lightly on her bottom lip and blushed as she let out an appreciative moan. His fingertips slid up and down her sides, teasing her as she had with him. She arched her body towards him as a desperate attempt to get him to remove some article of clothing, to which he soon caught her drift. He broke away only briefly to tug his shirt over his head, dropping it at his feet. He sealed his lips to her's the second the material hit the floor. She ran her teeth gently across his bottom lip, drawing him in further, and in response she gained a moan of appreciation. Their tongues duelled together desperately as they both tried to cover each other as quickly as possible. Her fingers ran up his arm and tangled themselves in his hair; pulling him even closer.
Deciding that enough was enough however, Danny moved his attention to Lindsay's shirt, from the look in his eyes, she could tell that he momentarily considered ripping the article of clothing, until he thought better and realised she didn't have a spare top to change into.
She pressed frantic kisses to his jaw, as she played with the hem of his wifebeater, debating whether or not to remove the item before he even started on her shirt. She thought that if she made a bold move, it'd finally get the ball rolling on his part and the removal of her own clothes.
But just as his fingertips unfastened the first button of her top; her phone vibrated in her pocket. She ignored it initially, letting the vibrations fall short on alerting her to a new message, only to be disturbed seconds later by the message tone. Not breaking the kiss but grabbing the phone from her pocket, she slid her finger across the bottom of the screen and broke away briefly to read her message. "Results are in," she panted, pulling away from him. "I gotta go."
"What?" Danny cried, his chest heaving. "Hell no..."
"I have to. I told Adam I'd be right back."
"Fuck Adam! You're mine." Danny growled.
"Danny, I have to." She whispered before pressing another kiss to his lips.
"Linds, fuck Adam." Pausing for a moment, Danny shook his head. "In fact please – no, let me take that back... I know what you're like when you're turned on."
"Hey!" she cried as she smacked him on the arm. "Screw you... Adam Ross wouldn't know what to do with me."
"Well, I wouldn't be so sure, he said to me not last week that you were a MILF..."
Raising an eyebrow, Lindsay shook her head at her husband. "The conversations you must have with yourself fascinate me."
"No, no he really did," Danny insisted.
"I'm sure he did," Lindsay nodded. "And I'm sure you applied enough of a beating for referring to me like that."
Danny nodded.
"I really have to go." She said again, but not making the moves to actually leave.
Instead of responding, a smirk spread across his face, leaving Lindsay a little wary. "What?" she sighed. "What are you thinking?"
"Nothin'," he chuckled.
"I don't trust you," she said with a raised brow. "What?"
"Nothin'" he insisted. "Linds, it's nothin', trust me."
"Danny..." she said cautiously. "What?"
Giggling to himself, Danny pressed a kiss to her temple before he scooped his discarded shirt and tie off the floor.
"Danny," Lindsay sighed. "What?"
"I got myself a MILF." He giggled as he slid the shirt over his head and shoved Flack's tie in his pants' pocket.
Rolling her eyes, Lindsay shook her head. "That's what you're giggling at?" she implored. "You're the reason I'm a... a... one of them."
"Which makes it even hotter. You're my MILF."
"Okay, this conversation just went from cute to creepy in about a millisecond... I have to get back to work."
"Can we un-pause this tonight?"
"Lucy can go to bed at four." Lindsay giggled. "It's gettin' dark earlier now... she won't know the difference."
"Four is a little ridiculous babe."
"Not with what I've got planned for you."
"God I hope that's a promise."
In response, she held out her pinky and licked her lips teasingly at him.
"Oh fuck, it's a pinky promise? I'll put her to bed personally."
"I'll hold you to that."
"I hope you do." He grinned. "See you out there?"
"Sure, shall I go first?"
"You came in first, so sure." Danny nodded as he pressed a kiss to her temple. "I love you."
"Love you too," she smiled before unlocking the bathroom door and peeking out of the door. "It's clear," she informed him before winking and disappearing into the locker room. Danny took a moment to lay his head against the cool wall to calm himself a little. He jumped down off the counter and turned the faucet on and sprinkled some water over his face. Looking into the mirror, he shook his head as a smirk stretched across his face.
"She's gonna be the death of you Messer."
But as he slipped through the woman's bathroom door, he figured it was quite the way to go.
"That's weird." Adam commented.
"What is?" Lindsay asked as she slipped her lab-coat on, a little out of breath as she made her way into trace.
"Well, I was just at the bathroom doin' my thing-"
"Ew- thanks for that image, Adam."
"Welcome," he smirked. "And yeah - I was just at the bathroom and I didn't see Danny in there." He said as his eyes followed Danny who was practically skipping down the hallway.
"Maybe he went in after you?" Lindsay suggested, cursing her dork of a husband.
"No, because I text you from in the locker room, so I was in there for a few minutes afterwards. I would have seen him come and go."
"Hah, maybe he was in the women's then." Lindsay laughed.
"Yeah, maybe... you know – I did hear two voices in there when I was in the locker room. Some heavy breathing too – think two people were getting it on?"
"Oh Adam," Lindsay shook her head. "At work? Really? We're professionals here. We all have a little self control." She said as she fought the blush that threatened to cover her cheeks.
"Are you telling me that you and Danny have never – wait, please don't answer that."
"I wouldn't anyway..."
"Good," Adam nodded. "You know though – you know who I think it was..."
"Who?" Lindsay asked, intrigued to hear who Adam thought it could be.
"Mac and Jo." He nodded. "It's like they've got this sexual chemistry thing that-"
"Adam," Lindsay stopped him and cut him off, "that's disgusting." she shook her head and picked up her results to analyse them. "Why would you even think of them like that?"
"Well, where do you think they are now?"
"Chasing up a lead?" Lindsay suggested. "Wait," she paused. "I'm not even having this freaking conversation."
"Exactly..."
"Adam... analyse the trace."
"Relax Chiquita!" he smirked as he turned back to his current analysis.
Letting out a silent breath, Lindsay fluffed her hair before picking up her results once again and trying to find a little composure.
She glanced up and caught Danny's eye. She blushed as he winked at her before blowing a kiss in her direction. She instantly glanced down to her results and fought the blush on her cheeks.
She sent a wink in response and licked her lips slowly and dramatically, to which Danny laid his head on the table in the break room. She giggled before finally concentrating, and properly concentrating on her results. Maybe this Mac and Jo chasing up every lead and working in hand together and only together wasn't such a bad thing, because really, any opportunity that arose wherein she got to spend more time with Danny without the focus being on them was a welcome opportunity, and there wasn't a chance in hell she was going to pass it up. She knew that eventually they'd end up in the forefront of something soon enough, but until then, the slight shift in things was more than welcome for her.
There we have it, another story... Hope you guys liked it. I'd love to know what you thought - I really appreciate any feedback! :)
