Author's Note: I've admittedly had an idea like this for a very long time. I initially toyed around with the thought of doing a compilation like this for the Criminal Minds fandom, but never got around to it; and since I've been thinking of expanding my horizons with this fantastic show and exploring more of what the characters have to offer, I figured this was just the opportunity I had been looking for. Like the summary explains, each of the twenty-six chapters this story will entail will involve a different pairing, a different friendship, a different plot, et cetera. Each chapter will also vary in length, as the focus of the story will shift with every installment.

I'm ridiculously excited to start posting this story, so I am definitely looking forward to receiving feedback from you lovely people and hearing what you guys think along the way. I've gotten twenty of the chapters completely written so far, so hopefully updates will come once or twice a week without much interruption. As always, thank you guys for your incredible support and the time you put into reading and reviewing; I certainly hope you enjoy! Much love.

"I swear, you two need professional help. This right here?" Danny jabbed a finger in their direction. "This is not normal. No, this is so far past normal I can't even process it." He muttered something unintelligible under his breath, then continued. "Just my luck, right? Normal people come to Hawaii to enjoy the sunshine and the surfing, but I come to Hawaii and get sucked into a task force run by a Navy SEAL with an unhealthy obsession for everything that could get me killed." Danny's eyes narrowed. "And you," he said lowly, glowering across the table. "Kono, of all people, I thought you'd be the sane one." He outright laughed at that, throwing his hands up in defeat. "But no, you're even worse than McGarrett sometimes!"

Steve smirked at Kono, elbowing her playfully in the side. "I can literally hear him talking in italics. Can't you hear him talking in italics?"

Danny groaned at that, running a hand over his face. "What is wrong with you two?"

Kono just laughed, then took the Ladysmith she had been ogling off of the wall and extended it towards the Jersey native. "Come on, Danny," she practically purred. "You can't tell me that she's not beautiful."

"Oh, get a room." Danny scowled down at the gun like it was the most offensive object he had ever seen. "You're only further proving my point, Kalakaua." Heaving out a sigh, he plopped down into the only chair in the claustrophobically small arsenal. "Why did I even let you two drag me into this?" For God's sake, they didn't even need new guns! "Couldn't we have, oh, I don't know, dangled ourselves off boats in shark cages or fallen out of helicopters without parachutes for three miles—or anything other than this?"

Kono rolled her eyes, turning back to Steve and watching approvingly as he ran calloused fingers over the shining body of a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226. "And he calls us crazy."

"Hey, I'm right here, you know," Danny said, waving his hands in her face. "I'd love it if you two would stop talking about me like I'm not here."

Steve simply reached across the table to pinch his partner's cheek. "Come on, Danno, you know you love us."

Kono gave him her most winning smile. "Yeah, Danno. We're your favorites, aren't we?"

"That is a lie," Danny grumbled petulantly, eying the Kel-Tec beside him and wondering if he'd be able to get away with a double homicide. "A horrible, appalling, filthy lie."

Author's Note: Alright, we're just getting started! I know, this chapter was pretty short, but the next couple installments get longer and longer. So what did you think? I would certainly love to know. Please don't hesitate to leave a review, if you have the time! And make sure to stay tuned.
