A/N: I have to leave for work in about an hour…and I still have to edit for three other stories…But I want to get these posted to… I'm so torn!

Prompts 326 to 330

326. …a novel?

"How would you go about it? Like pick a case and then write the Adventures of Hawaii Five-O, like you were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?" Danny asked sarcastically.

"I'm not talking about a book, I'm talking a true crimes, television, drama!" Steve countered. "Who reads novels anymore?"

"Remember that time the talk show host did a ride along with us for a week? That's what this would be and you hated that," Danny said skeptically. "And, for the record, our cases are not entertainment, they are serious. Also, I read novels, my kids read novels, libraries still exist in the world."

"You don't think, once we retire, that this could be a crazy good business venture?" Steve asked.

"Not unless you publish them posthumously," Danny said.

"Meaning?"

"After you're dead, then maybe people will be into it."

"But if I'm dead, how will I make sure that the actors would do justice to you and I?" Steve asked.

"That's why it shouldn't be a TV show, it should be a book, or a collection of stories, and then once you are dead, if our children or those who benefit from our estates wish to sell the rights and make TV shows or movies, then it's up to them to do us justice. We'd never know because we'd be dead."

"I don't like that at all," Steve said. "I'd like to make the money now."

"Then count me out of your cockamamie scheme."

"Did you just use the word cockamamie?" Steve asked in shocked amusement.

"What part about 'I read' didn't you get. I have a very extensive vocabulary. If anyone is going to write a book, it should be me."

"So you're my Watson?" Steve asked with a twisted grin.

"No," Danny answered. "I'm just the one who has any clue. What do you know about writing a screen play, if that's really what you want to do?"

"Nothing, but I'm sure this library that you speak of, will have books for that. Or the internet can teach me," Steve said sarcastically.

"Good luck with that."

327. …a murder-mystery?

"The Five-O Files has a good, spooky, kinda ring to it," Steve offered. "I'm thinking less of the novel kinda genre and more of the murder-mystery or true crime for my passion project."

"But that's been done before and isn't fresh and exciting," Grace countered. "The X-files, the Forensic Files, The Ghost Files; all are TV shows all ready on TV."

"But this would be a murder-mystery book series all about my cases," Steve said. "Are those shows also books?"

"I'm pretty sure that they are, uncle Steve, or at least they either started as books or became books because of the TV show's popularity," Grace said sympathetically. "They kinda go hand in hand because you have to have a screen play unless you're looking at reality TV like Cops or The First 48."

"They already exist is what you are telling me. I'd basically be taking a structure that already happened…"

"Yeah, pretty much, and as far as I'm concerned, it's not really worth it because that genre of TV is kinda on it's way out. My suggestion is to put reality out of your mind and maybe use your cases as reference, a jumping off point, but you are going to have to make this up as you go. You can be the main character. You can't go word for word what happened. You have to make it up, and make it more fantastical. You're outside the realm of reality, so make it fiction."

"Most people wouldn't believe these cases were real though," Steve protested.

"But there is a record of them, and many of them have been prosecuted, so if you wanted to look hard enough, you could find that these are true cases," Grace said. "But think about it, Thomas Harris was a journalist that wrote about crime before he wrote his Hannibal books. His actual reporting inspired the books but the characters, the stories, are not reality though parts of them could be real. You need to cross over into the other world, the world of fiction. Let your experience inspire you, but you need to make this up as you go."

"But I wanted this to be easy," Steve said and pouted.

"You can't even get your paper work done, what makes you think that you could write a book," Danny asked and accused from his place. He'd tried to stay out of the conversation, but just couldn't anymore.

"I can do whatever I put my mind to," Steve snapped.

"Sure," Danny said and rolled his eyes, "but don't think that Grace is going to write it all down for you because you can't be settled enough at any given time to sit down and do it."

"I could be one of your first editors, but no, I'm not going to write it for you," Grace said to jump onboard with her father.

"I can write it myself," Steve huffed.

"Good, then I'd say take all of Grace's advice and go get yourself started on an outline and then bring it back to her for some feedback."

"I can't just write it?" Steve asked.

"That's not the best idea, Uncle Steve," Grace said with a shake of her head. "If you want it to amount to anything, you're going to have to put a lot of work into it."

"Ugh, I'm over it already."

328. … a romance?

"How Steve Met Catherine; A tragic Romance," Danny said. "And the sequel could be: How She Killed My Love."

"It's not funny," Steve said with a pout plastered across his face.

"Too soon?" Danny asked mockingly.

"It will never be okay, Daniel."

"It's also not a very original idea, you know that right? Literally the premise behind most stories that try to be romance but end in tragedy are your's and Catherine's love story," Danny continued to mock him. "What do you know about romance anyway? You put on a suit, one time, and picked her up from the shrimp truck. If you tried to write a romance it would end up porn."

"No it wouldn't!" Steve protested.

"What was the outcome of that night?" Danny asked suspiciously.

"Hey now, I'd make it tasteful," Steve countered defensively without answering the question but at the same time he did.

"Your idea of tasteful and the general public's ideas are very, very, different," Danny mocked.

"Okay, so maybe it's not a romance," Steve said and sighed.

"No, it should just be left in the past. This is just you dwelling on it, when you could be out in search of love and happiness."

"So just forget Catherine?"

"Just forget her and move on, but don't be fooled if you fall into the same patterns."

"Maybe I should write it like a self help book," Steve said.

"Sure, if you actually learned from it, but I don't think you have yet because you haven't tried to change your behavioural patterns."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Steve asked angrily.

"You are looking for Catherine in every woman you date, and because of that, you will experience the same outcomes. But it's not really Catherine's fault. It's your mother's. You have a type. Without even knowing it, you looked for your mother."

"Shut Up Daniel!"

"I'll not say another word, but only that it's the truth and you know it."

329. Write the scene about the first time someone other than your family or friends told you they loved you.

"There is nothing wrong with platonic love, or any true love for that matter," Danny said as he sat with his son. "Uncle Steve and I tell each other, all the time, that we love each other and in the beginning of our relationship he got me shot and I hated him. But our relationship has evolved and is evolving, and always will. Sometimes we tell each other that we love each other, even around our girlfriends, but love comes in many forms, and love is love is love, no matter what."

"I know Danno, but why don't other people know that?" Charlie asked sadly he'd been called to the principals office, with his father, because of an incident on the playground.

"Because they are ignorant, or hate filled, or just plain uneducated. Or maybe they have never felt love in the ways that we have."

"Who else do you love?" Charlie asked.

"I love you, I love Grace, I love Uncle Chin and Sarah, and Lou and his family. I love Kono and Adam, and Steve, Mary, Joan and even Kamekona. I love Rosie and her friends Aaron and Clayton. I love Dog and Beth and all their kids, Toast, Charlie and even cousin Eric. I love a lot of people because they are worthy of my love and sometimes you just gotta tell people that to help them through hard times," Danny explained.

"And Steve, you really love him even though he makes you angry?"

"More so because he makes me angry and afraid sometimes. Steve makes me a better man because of who he is."

"That makes sense," Charlie said with a nod.

"Now there are some people in this world, bad people and sick people, who try to do bad things to people and claim that it is love, when it's not. Like people who touch you when they don't have permission to. Or people who pull boys and girls into situation that are dangerous and don't feel right. That isn't love, and if it doesn't feel right, then it's not okay," Danny explained.

"Okay," Charlie said with a nod. "But why has Principal Marion called this meeting?"

"Because Principal Marion is ignorant, and so are Frederick's parents. Because they have problems with boys loving boys or girl's loving girls and they are so closed minded that they don't know that love is love and that sometimes there are different kinds of love. But boys can love other boys in different ways and girls can love girls in different was. And there are some people in this world that don't identify with either boy or girl as a gender," Danny explained.

"What is gender?" Charlie asked.

"Some people will tell you it is what you are, like a boy or a girl. But really it's a state of mind. If you are born a boy but feel like you should be a girl, then that is what you are. If you don't like to identify as either, that's okay too," Danny explained. "And there are many different shades in between. It's not as black and white as it used to be, and it's becoming much more accepted in our world, but there are still people that have big problems with it and I believe that's why this is such a big deal for Mr. Marion and Frederick's parent."

"Why aren't you afraid?" Charlie asked.

"Well, because I'm a police officer and it's my job to be conscious of everyone and non-judgmental when it comes to their condition, but I am judgemental of their actions and behaviours. That's how I read people, and I wasn't always that open but I learned to be better and I believe that everyone can do the same if they just let go of their fear."

"You think people are afraid of love?" Charlie asked.

"Yes I do, and jealous of those who have it and know it," Danny answered.

"So am I in trouble?"

"Not with me, you're not," Danny said as the principal's door opened and they were beaconed inside.

330. Write about something you find offensive.

"Look, I don't care what you have to say, in fact, I find your mentality offensive and insulting and I will not, under any circumstances condone or authorize the discipline of my son that you are asking for because he expressed his love for another boy. I will, however, tell you that this is 2017 and if you insist upon teaching ignorance and prejudice to your student population, I will be forced, as a member of a government organization, to report you for human rights violations and hate crimes, and I will insist on full legal actions against you, the ignorant fools who raised a complaint, and this entire school board," Danny yelled and threatened the principal who had called him and his con into a conference over something as foolish as childhood feelings of love and admiration for each other on the playground. "And don't think for one second that I will not be dealing with those parents in my own way," he continued when the principal tried to blame the other child's parents for the complaint. "You should have stood up for Charlie the second they called, the second the homophobic words came out of their mouths. You claim to be an equal rights school, to have Safe Spaces, to accommodate the LGBTQ community and yet, here we are, in your office where you pulled your haughty bullshit to reprimand my child for saying he loved his friend. Well, let me tell you, he learned it from me, and he also knows the difference between familial, platonic, and romantic love. He has respect for the LGBTQ and if it turns out that he has love for the same gender as himself, then that is okay because that's who he is."

"I don't have a problem with being gay!" The principal protested.

"Of course you don't because that's the catch all phrase that they tell you to say when really you do have a problem. It's the go to excuse for people like you. The problem is that you are intolerant but you need to say you have no problem because your school promote equality, because if you really didn't have a problem, you would have told those parents that, but really you wont actually act to protect anyone, you just say, oh there is no problem. I have no problem. Actually, you do, and now we have a problem with each other."

"Mr. Williams…"

"Detective Lieutenant Williams with the Governor's Elite Task-force," Danny interrupted and pulled rank over the principal before him.

"Detective Williams, a complaint was raised, it is my job to address the complain," the man started.

"Well here is a complaint that I will be raising with your school board; you are in violation of human right," Danny said and stood. "Come along Charlie, you're not in trouble, and now Danno needs to get this man and anyone who supports him fired!"

"Mr. Williams…"

"Detective!"

"I'm sorry that you feel this way, what can I do to make it better?" The man back peddled.

"It's too late for that now, I know who you really are."
