Author Note

Welcome to my Snippets AU saga which might be the last story I place up.

As I previously mentioned I have a lot of saga written when it comes to the overall Danni saga so I figured the best way to put them up was in a snippet form rather than putting up millions of stories because there must be like over a hundred by now!

I'll put a little note by the saga so you will know which snippets belongs to which saga so hopefully it will becomes clearer. If you like a certain saga then let me know and I'll make sure I work more on it as well.

Nothing more to say except that I hope you all enjoy the stories!

I should also make a point that any time the surname Richardson is used in regards to Danielle it means that male Danny is in the story. In these stories Danni will be referred to as Danielle in the narrative instead of Danni.

It makes all the work I do on them worth it

Overall Summary

A glimpse into the McDanni world featuring lots of romance, drama, and gun fights, babies and a whole lot more. Based on the A/U Danni world.

Chapter Summary

Steve McGarrett stretched out on the bed, a moan of satisfaction escaping his throat as he felt his bones crack.

Overall Romance

A hell of a lot but always with Steve and Danni ending up together…. It's better to look at the chapter romance to gather which one is which…

Chapter Romance

Other note

Nearly all the places I have stated are either made up or I've got from the internet so I'm sorry in advance if I get an address wrong or anything. My geography on Hawaii is very poor having never been there before!

Doesn't fit into any saga

Snippet Three

11th November 1998

Steve McGarrett stretched out on the bed, a moan of satisfaction escaping his throat as he felt his bones crack. His muscles ached pleasantly from the night before. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept so well or so fully, it had felt like a miracle. Normally his nights were disturbed by nightmares, sharp, painful memories from his past which constantly battered at his mind. Images from the day of his mother's funeral, all the people who had approached him telling him he needed to be brave now and look after his family, images of his father's ravaged face as grief consumed him before he had spoken to Steve, his voice cold and precise, telling Steve that he was sending him and his younger sister Mary away to the mainland to live. It never ended, the snippets rolling around his head like a movie that wouldn't stop.

Steve was positive that the lack of nightmares was down to the small blond woman he had fallen asleep naked with, cradling her to him because he couldn't bear to let go of her. She had filled his mind so much that there had been no room left for anything else. All he could think about, all he had wanted to think about was her.

He still couldn't believe that he had found her again, he had been sure that he would never see her again when the dark haired guy who had been with her had dragged her away, giving her only the chance to look over her shoulder at him, hundreds of question in her grey eyes before the crowd had swallowed them up.

Steve had never believed in fate or destiny before. He had always believed that he made his own destiny but after last night he wasn't so sure. Surely it had been fate which had sent Danni running for safety in the very same pub that Steve had been in, not only that but fate had sent her to him during the one time he had been alone that day for the first time. It couldn't have been just simple coincidence, he refused to believe it.

A slow wide smile spread across his face as he continued to lay on the bed, his eyes closed as he drifted contentedly, his mind moving to Danni.

God there had been something about her, something which drew him in. She had been so beautiful standing in the doorway of the pub, looking around her searchingly, her arms wrapped around her as though she was trying to protect herself from something. He had simply stared at her the same way everyone else had. She had stood out like a queen walking among peasants. She was so small and slight, she appeared almost delicate and fragile looking though he could tell from the way she had filled out her pink dress that she had a fantastic figure. Her blond hair had shone like gold in her dim lighting and had been secured away from her oval face. She had fair skin as though she didn't see much sunlight. She had been absolutely perfect in Steve's eyes, he knew without a shadow of a doubt that he could stare into that face and those grey eyes and never be bored of the sight.

He also knew that she was meant for him, he couldn't explain how he knew that. He only knew that she was and that he was surer of that fact then he had ever been of anything else.

Steve had stared unashamedly, barely able to stop his mouth from opening when she had finally moved away from the doorway, her movements graceful like a dancer as she made her way through the parting crowd. He had realised within seconds that she was heading over to him, a look of sheer relief in her eyes. He had glanced behind him to see whether there was someone else behind him but it had just been him and the wall. His hand had gripped his whiskey glass tightly as he tilted his head back slightly, meeting her eyes when she came to a stop by him.

There had been a moment's silence before she spoke to him for the first time. Her voice was soft and quiet, suiting the rest of her to perfection. Her voice had sounded as though she was from somewhere up North but there had been a strong southern undertone to it, merging together to create an accent that Steve had never heard before, it was intriguing just like the rest of her had been.

She had asked if she could sit down, taking the seat opposite him before he could answer and immediately apologised to him for intruding on him explaining to him that she had been followed by two men outside. Steve had wanted to smack his head on the table at her stupidity at walking around in the twilight by herself on the night of the festival when drunken idiots were around. A girl who looked like the blond in front of him should never go anywhere alone, she would be considered a prize by anyone who saw her. Instead he had taken a sip of his drink, allowing it to calm him for a moment before he had spoken, telling her his name and that she was no bother. She had repeated his name, the sound of his name in her accent causing a wave of desire to crash over him. Somehow he controlled himself enough to ask her what her name was.

She had fixed him with a long searching look before she had reached up and pushed her hair away from her face with a slim hand and told him. One simple word which changed his life.

Danielle.

When he had asked her what she preferred to be called she had merely shrugged and said that she would answer to anything as long as it wasn't insulting. She had gone on to tell him that people tended to call her Elle. Steve had opened his mouth to call her that when he had stopped, he didn't want to call her something which everyone else had called her. He wanted to stand out to her, to make her remember him so he had called her Danni, grinning when he told her that he would spell it with an I at the end and not a y. Danni had looked at him with a raised eyebrow before she had smiled at him, just a slight, measured smile but he felt it all the way to his toes as though someone had punched him hard in the chest, leaving him winded.

She had been shaking, probably from shock so he had attracted the waitress's attention and asked her to get two of them same, nodding his head towards the whiskey he was still nursing in his hands. The waitress had given Danni a long considering look but Danni hadn't look back at her, instead wrapping her arms around herself and staring at the table surface. The waitress had glanced at Steve before she shrugged and left, returning with two glasses of amber liquid, placing it in front of them and leaving.

Danni had stared at the liquid with a frown before glancing up at Steve and taking a sip, her nose wrinkling up.

They had sat quietly together before Steve had offered to walk her to wherever she needed to go. She had agreed, finishing her drink and left with him. Steve had passed Tyler and the boys as they entered, giving them a wide grin in response to their startled, disbelieving faces before he followed Danni out of the pub into the still warm air.

Danni had looked around her giving a silent sigh of relief when she saw they were alone before she turned to the right and began walking. Steve caught up, walking beside her and resting his hand on her shoulder. The bare skin which wasn't obstructed by her dress was soft and smooth making him want to stroke it. They walked until they came to a corner when Danni stopped.

Steve had stopped with her, remaining silent as he had waited for her to say something. Instead she had simply looked at him waiting. Steve had reacted, gently moving his fingers up her neck, stroking the skin she had sighed, the sound loud in the silence and tilted her head towards him, running her cheek against the back of his fingers much like a cat would do before she had suddenly turned, going up on tiptoes and wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes searching his for a moment in the darkness before she tugged at his neck, pulling him down to her and kissed him.

Steve had kissed several women in his life but none had affected him quite like this simple kiss. It could have been just a simple kiss of gratitude but Steve hadn't cared, he had taken control of it. Kissing her repeatedly until she clung to him, he had asked her if she knew what she was doing and she had agreed that she did. Steve had reacted instantly, bringing her to a motel room before he had made love to her, his shock when he had discovered she was a virgin had been intense but she had urged him on and he had, unable to stop himself from claiming her as his. He had been gentle and tender, savouring every reaction she had given her. When he had asked her why she had slept with him, she had failed to answer him, merely kissing him before she had drifted off to sleep. When she had woken up a second time Steve had made love to her again before he had fallen asleep again.

The rest would live in his memory forever more, spoiling him for anyone else. He belonged to Danni now and it was as simple as that just as she belonged to him. He just needed to make sure they were on the same page and if they weren't then he would need to convince her that he was the man for her.

Steve rolled over, reaching for Danni, his eyes opening when his hand met the cool sheet instead of her body. He forced his eyes opened and stared in growing horror at the empty space next to him. He sat up and looked around the small room, he glanced to the bathroom, listening for the sound of the shower.

"Danni?" He called out, kicking the sheet off of him and stood up, padding over to the bathroom door uncaring that he was naked. He pushed the door open and glanced in, hitting the light switch, the floor and tiles were dry meaning that Danni hadn't had a shower. He went back into the room and grabbed his boxers pulling them and his jeans up. He frowned grabbing his white t-shirt and headed over to the phone on the side, calling the front desk. He waited impatiently for them to pick up the phone.

"Good morning, how may I be of assistance?"

"Hiya, this is room 210 I was wondering whether any messages had been left for me at the front desk."

"Name?" the man responded.

"McGarrett, Steve McGarrett" he said. He glanced around the room as he heard the receptionist look through the papers.

"Sorry Sir, there's no messages for you."

"Have you been in since this morning?" Steve asked before the man could hang up at him.

"Yes Sir, I started at five this morning" he answered.

"Did you see a blond girl leave today?" he asked.

"No sir, I saw no one" the man said before he hung up the phone staring into the distance realising that Danni had gone without saying goodbye.

He frowned.

There was no way that he was going to let her escape now. He would find her no matter what it took.
