Alternative Route To The Same End

Summary:

A series of drabbles dealing with what could have happened if Danny beating Beckett for information about the girl he had buried had consequences on his job.

Can be read as a stand-alone. Diverges from canon at s03e22 - Hoʻopio (To Take Captive) and Steve and Danny are in a committed relationship.

Notes:

While I've been working on the last two chapters of 'McGarretts Say It Better' I been unable to stop thinking about this divergence from canon where Danny is fired and he and Steve go down a different path in season four. I knew I couldn't do it as a full blown story but I thought it could work at a drabble. I’ve got twelve of them written so far. I’ll just post them whenever the mood strikes while I keep trying to work out just how to write the end of 'McGarretts Say It Better’.
I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

The Governor pushed the thick stack of paperwork across the table. “Detective Williams is on administrative leave pending the Internal Affairs investigation.”

Steve yanked the paperwork into his lap and flicked through it. “You are supposed to be supporting us in bringing these criminals to justice.”

“Detective Williams is still a police officer, he used excessive force to obtain answers. Beckett is suing.”

“So, we have immunity and means only to pursue people who aren’t litigious?”

Governor Denning rubbed at his forehead. “You cannot believe that Detective Williams’ actions were justified.”

“We saved Ella,” Steve said firmly.

Denning sighed tiredly.
