    <content type="html">Do you know what amuses me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extreme selective viewing and reading. It's like lying on a steel table having your limbs hacked off one by one while you squeeze your eyes shut and tell yourself you're in Happy Land. Utterly baffling and idiotic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell ya, I've never seen denial running at such ridiculous depths and length of time in my life and yet, there it is, flaunted by fangirls of all ages (the higher the age goes, the more frightening it is, apparently). I pity the writers of &lt;b&gt;CSI:NY&lt;/b&gt; a lot these days. It seems they've become so cowardly in writing the hilarious fiasco that is &lt;b&gt;Danny/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; that it's stuck in a permanent rut where Danny seesaws between a Danny who acts like the old Danny before his character assassination and a Danny who's nothing more than a lowly dog who's always the wrong one and needs to grovel and be a total wimpbag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this, just for the sake of appeasing a bunch of fangirls who've flamed TPTB simply because they didn't like their obsessive fantasy of Danny being fucked with. &lt;i&gt;Come ON&lt;/i&gt;. It's laughable to even deny it has &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; been about Danny. Lindsay? Who's she? Just a proxy who needs Danny to be her prop even after three whole &lt;i&gt;seasons&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; can't stand out as an individual. And ya wanna ask why I think she's &lt;i&gt;useless?&lt;/i&gt; Heh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As for that phone call ... I'll just reiterate what I said in the grading thread for the episode:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I freakin' LOL'ed my head off when I watched that scene. Danny's voice and expression was &lt;i&gt;hilarious!&lt;/i&gt; It was as if &lt;b&gt;Carmine&lt;/b&gt; figured sounding like a drunk werewolf who had a bloody rotten meal would help reduce the utter lameness of what Danny had to say to Lindsay. What was even more hilarious was his expression when he said what he did. He looked like he just ate something thoroughly disgusting and was doing his damnest to not spit it out. Bwahahahaah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Carmine, if it had been your intention to distract people with laughter to reduce the lameness and awfulness of that scene, I for one appreciated it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; got to screencap his expression and body stance when he was on the phone with Lindsay. He was all slouchy and, "I don't give a goddamn fuck 'bout anythin' anymore." It was so at odds with the dialogue I was half-wondering if he was just saying what he did because he'd given up on any kind of happiness and resigned himself to whatever he could get, lousy or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the Danny/&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt; scene, it just made the D/L one mediocre when it came to emotion and depth. I thought it was great that Danny acknowledged them having sex was not actually doing them any good, although I am still speculating if Danny only said it because he figured it would keep Rikki in his life and not drive her away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7704/ny419001900iq5.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: You're &lt;i&gt;moving?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But poor Danny ... Rikki had decided to move, and was technically leaving him without him having a chance at all to say anything about it. :( I don't blame her at all for moving; she had all the rights to do so and it was true that there were too many painful memories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5327/ny419001946pd9.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;:You're a sweet man.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What stood to me here was how Danny's face just &lt;i&gt;fell&lt;/i&gt; the instant he realized Rikki was really moving away. He looked teary-eyed to me, and his lips were downturned like he was close to crying. Even Rikki looked a little teary-eyed, especially at the beginning of the scene just before she tells him she's moving away. It was very sweet when she touched his cheek. It was then very sad to see Danny all alone again, sitting at his kitchen counter and staring at &lt;b&gt;Ruben&lt;/b&gt;'s memorial pamphlet as it rained outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh no, Danny's not going to forget Rikki and Ruben any time soon, if ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='faylinn_drake' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;faylinn_drake&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I were chatting and it occurred to us that there may be a very good reason why Danny's behavior is so odd in the D/L scene. It is very possible TPTB chose to switch the scenes' places. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the D/L scene, Danny's already sitting at the kitchen counter, looking all upset as if his entire world just fell apart. He calls Lindsay up and seriously, he's acting all drunk and I-don't-give-a-shit-about-anything and when he says he misses Lindsay, he even looks disgusted with himself. By the way, at the end of the conversation, Lindsay &lt;i&gt;doesn't&lt;/i&gt; go to his apartment to talk to him even though he asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, in the D/R scene, Danny's back to normal! Not upset or drunk or anything! Then Rikki shows up at the door, and he only gets upset when Rikki tells him she's moving away. At the end of this scene, Danny takes Ruben's pamphlet from his coffee table in front of the couch and then trudges over to the kitchen counter and sits there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something's not right with the transition, I tell you. Danny's behavior in the D/L scene would have made complete sense if the D/R scene had come first. Of course, doing that would confirm that Danny only called Lindsay because Rikki had left him and he had nobody else, thus him settling for second best. And of course TPTB had to change the scene placement just to make Danny a mere wussbag who has no idea what the fuck he wants. *roll eyes* What a shame, TPTB. You had a damn good chance to bring an interesting and new dynamic into Danny and AGAIN, you chose to sacrifice it for the sake of a pseudo-relationship that is STILL vague to the point that even its own shippers doesn't give a fuck about it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Geez&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I saved the best for last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny/&lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt; saved the day. Literally. If Lindsay's being a self-centered brat and punishing Danny all because he wouldn't go to her on &lt;i&gt;her&lt;/i&gt; terms and conditions while he's &lt;i&gt;grieving&lt;/i&gt; for the death of a child he cared about, and if Rikki had to leave him because there were too many painful memories between them ... then Flack is the one who's stayed by Danny's side, through thick and thin and everything else included. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is only with Flack that Danny becomes his old self. The energetic, confident, &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; Danny that we knew so long ago before he became nothing more than a prop for a character who's leeched the life out of him. It's amazing to see how &lt;i&gt;natural&lt;/i&gt; he is with Flack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just look at these screencaps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m143/Elsieback/Myscreencaps/df001.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m143/Elsieback/Myscreencaps/ny419a000118.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m143/Elsieback/Myscreencaps/ny419001027.png"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, there's this one too:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m143/Elsieback/Myscreencaps/ny419000230.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This screencap looks like it came straight out of a soap opera scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt;: But ... I thought you wanted this baby! *sniff*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: I do, babe, I do but it can't possibly be my baby because ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt;: Why, &lt;i&gt;whhhhyy?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*dramatic pause*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: Because ... I have no balls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt;: O.O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stadium audience&lt;/b&gt;: *GASP*&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahahahah! I love Danny/Flack so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big thank you to &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='elsiekate' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://elsiekate.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://elsiekate.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;elsiekate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for the fantastic screencaps! :D</content>

OH &lt;i&gt;MAN&lt;/i&gt;. Some of us were predicting Danny would be there with Flack because it made a whole lot more sense (and we know they both have the major lurve for each other) but, &lt;i&gt;damn&lt;/i&gt;, even I didn't think TPTB would be so kind to us! :D :D :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two guys look SO good. They look like they had marathon sex the whole day before going to the game together, hahahah! Just look at how mussed Danny's hair is and how badly tucked his shirt is! Maybe he and Flack had some fun in the restroom during half-time, hmmm? &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and look, Flack's wearing HENLEYS and JEANS now. Just like Danny! &amp;gt;:D Lovers picking up each other's habits and all that?! &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WATCH THE DAMN VID, I TELL YOU! *LOL*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah.

    <content type="html">Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the &lt;b&gt;Danny/Flack&lt;/b&gt; sex-in-a-car PWP! I am so not kidding when I say this story is not safe for work in the least, considering it's Danny and Flack doing what they love best with each other. ;&amp;gt; Enjoy, you horndogs! And thanks for the reviews, I always appreciate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fandom: CSI:NY&lt;br /&gt;Author: Kimmychu&lt;br /&gt;Rating: FRAO (And I mean, adults only!)&lt;br /&gt;Pairing: Danny/Flack &lt;br /&gt;Content Warning: Kinky sex, ahoy!&lt;br /&gt;Spoilers: Nada. &lt;br /&gt;Summary: Danny and Flack dancing the horizontal tango in a car. ‘Nough said!&lt;br /&gt;Disclaimer: I just received the ownership papers for the Jackhammer and the Kinka-poodle. So yeah, they’re mine now. I promise I’ll take good care of them and feed them lots of hotdogs and pizza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s orange, polka-dot tie was driving Danny wild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny couldn’t figure it out. It wasn’t one of Flack’s worst ties and it wasn’t one of the guy’s best ones either but it was driving. Him. &lt;i&gt;Wild&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“C’mon, ya can finish your report tomorrow. Everyone’s gone home already and I’m &lt;i&gt;hungry&lt;/i&gt;,” Flack grumbled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny had to tear his eyes away from Flack’s tie and raised them to Flack’s visage. His toes curled in his boots. His throat and belly tightened. His jeans around his groin abruptly felt constricted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damnit, why did Flack have to look so &lt;i&gt;fuckable?&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man’s just &lt;i&gt;standing&lt;/i&gt; there in the usual formal suit and tie next to his desk, staring at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I haven’t eaten anythin’ since lunch. &lt;i&gt;I’m huuungry&lt;/i&gt;,” Flack said again, pouting for extra measure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny stared back at the other man. His tongue flicked out to run across his lower lip. &lt;i&gt;Ooh&lt;/i&gt; yeah, Flack wasn’t the only hungry guy in the room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And right now, he was starving for a &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; gorgeous, six-foot-two mix of Irish and Italian something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He saved what he’d written of his case report so far and shut off his computer. Then, he leapt to his feet, strode to where Flack stood and grabbed Flack by the wrist. Flack let out a faint yelp of surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny, what are you -”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He cut off Flack’s question with a guttural, “No talkin’.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too impatient for any response, Danny towed the bemused homicide detective out of his office, down the main hallway of the laboratories and into one of the elevators after its doors slid open. When Flack started to speak, Danny swiftly pressed his forefinger against Flack’s dark pink lips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;No&lt;/i&gt; talkin’. You do as I say, &lt;i&gt;understand?&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He saw Flack’s big blue eyes widen at the resolve in his tone. Flack nodded, then parted those dark pink lips to lick his finger. Danny had to grit his teeth hard in order to not slam Flack against the elevator wall and fuck the man right there and then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They already had sex in the elevators a couple of times anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was time for something … different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Go down to the car park and drive your car into Garage Three. I’ll meet you there,” Danny said. “Be &lt;i&gt;quick&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack nodded a second time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“And, Don?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack silently gazed at him while the elevator doors opened on the level where the lab’s garages were located. Danny stroked the side of Flack’s face, then stepped out into the corridor, sending Flack an explicit look of lust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the doors closed, Danny rasped, “I hope you restocked the lube and condoms in the car.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s sharp inhalation and the visible shudder of that lanky, firm body was all the acknowledgement Danny needed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;+ + +&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garage Three was, as its name implied, the third of eight garages used by the CSIs and lab technicians to process any vehicles involved in crime scenes. Garage Three was Danny’s favorite one because it was the largest and had grid-like, rectangular windows high up near the ceiling that permitted sunlight to cascade in during the day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, tonight, he had no interest in sunlight or moonlight or even starlight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight, Danny’s sole interest was in his lover who was braced against the front passenger door of a black Infiniti G35 car, bent forward, naked from the hips down, long legs spread apart and that rounded bottom thrust out for his perusal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Danny&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a few minutes into their foreplay, Flack was already murmuring hoarsely. Both cheeks of the taller man’s buttocks were flushed and glistened beneath the bright lights hanging from the ceiling; Danny had commenced their fun with nibbling and sucking of the smooth skin there. Flack’s clothes hid one very fine and ample bottom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny … lemme move. &lt;i&gt;Please&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny could feel Flack’s thighs quaver under his palms. Still on his knees behind Flack, he leaned forward and gently bit Flack’s right buttock, savoring the suppleness between his teeth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack moaned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny sunk his teeth deeper into the same spot on Flack’s bottom and Flack moaned louder, trembling anew as Danny swiped the reddened area with his tongue. Flack had such pale, soft skin for a man. It was perfect for nibbles and spanking; marks showed up fast, and the ruddiness was an obvious indicator what Danny did left an impression on the other man. Flack wasn’t the very vocal kind of guy, which was why the color combination evocative of roses upon cream had become so significant to Danny whenever they made love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just did something to him deep inside. It just did something mind-blowing and heartwrenching and &lt;i&gt;amazing&lt;/i&gt; to him, knowing Flack, his independent, tough Flack, became as malleable as putty, yielding and unguarded in his hands. &lt;i&gt;His&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turned him on like the flick of a switch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freed the animal within him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gonna make you scream, Don, gonna make ya feel &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; damn &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt; you’ll scream and let the whole &lt;i&gt;world&lt;/i&gt; hear ya.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny drew his right arm back then swung it in a half-circle, slapping Flack hard across rosy buttocks. The strident sound reverberated in the garage along with Flack’s low cry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ya like that, Don? &lt;i&gt;Hmm?&lt;/i&gt; Ya &lt;i&gt;like&lt;/i&gt; that?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny smacked both of Flack’s buttcheeks again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time, Flack whimpered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tell me how much ya like it,” Danny said huskily, squeezing his lover’s bottom with both hands, reveling in the way the pliable, warm flesh filled them. “&lt;i&gt;Tell me&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I …” - Flack’s breath hitched when Danny tautened his grip - “I like it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny shut his eyes. Flack’s whispered answer sent a shiver of pleasure through him, and he threw his head back, biting his lower lip, feeling his erection rub against the coarseness of his jeans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ooh&lt;/i&gt;, was he damn happy to have come to work sans underwear today or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ya want me to &lt;i&gt;lick&lt;/i&gt; you, Don? Want me to &lt;i&gt;suck you dry?&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s hips bucked. The spontaneous reaction sent another jolt flashing from Danny’s head to his toes. It was so rare for Danny to see his lover this way, in this submissive stance, bent over to his will, to whatever he demanded of this handsome, dark-haired homicide detective. Usually he was the one at Flack’s mercy, a defenseless, acquiescent, boneless body under Flack’s total command and he &lt;i&gt;loved&lt;/i&gt; it, he loved &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; moment of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He loved seeing Flack like this too. He loved that he was the only man in the universe privileged to bear witness to this side of Flack. Flack setting aside his walls, his control, his authority willingly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;, and him &lt;i&gt;alone&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s right hand glided down to his groin, down under the waistband of his jeans, enclosing the hot, hard length of his cock. &lt;i&gt;Fuck&lt;/i&gt;, he needed Flack bad tonight. Needed Flack long and hard and &lt;i&gt;deep&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Turn around, Don,” Danny ordered throatily. “&lt;i&gt;Now&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack struggled to an upright pose on shaky legs and even more shaky arms. Flack’s limbs so tremulous intensified Danny’s lust a hundred fold; it was so, &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; rare of Flack to display such apparent verification of how acutely affected he was by Danny’s advances. Either Flack was more … susceptible when the man was hungry, or Danny wasn’t the only guy in the garage craving for a bout of aggressive sex. Or ten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A thump echoed in the air when Flack finally turned to face Danny. Flack had literally fallen back against the door of the car, slumped upon smooth metal and tempered glass, face red with gratification and exertion, chest heaving in rough breaths. Large hands splayed on black steel. Long legs bare except for shin-high black socks and polished shoes were spread wide, allowing Danny to move into the inverted V-space between them, to run his hands along Flack’s inner thighs, to nuzzle Flack’s groin covered by the folds of his white dress shirt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cloth there was tented. Flack’s cock was so stiff and erect that it pointed upwards at a forty-five degree angle and bobbed a little when Danny nudged it with his nose and lips. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny … Danny, Danny …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack was still whispering. Flack’s tone was mellifluous and breathy, so dissimilar from his normal one that Danny glanced upwards at his lover’s face, just for a moment. The immeasurable desire, the &lt;i&gt;yearning&lt;/i&gt;, he saw in Flack’s half-lidded blue eyes staring down at him was akin to a punch to the gut, like someone stuck electrodes to his head and zapped his mind full of enlightenment that sent his blood surging from all over his body into his already rigid erection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny grabbed the two halves of Flack’s dress shirt and wrenched them apart. A button flew off and landed unnoticed on the cement floor somewhere in the distance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh, oh my God, you’re - oh &lt;i&gt;fuck&lt;/i&gt; -”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack never got to complete his sentence. Danny didn’t mind not knowing what else Flack had intended to say; Flack’s moans and sharp intakes of breaths as he deep-throated Flack’s cock was more than enough to assuage his curiosity. The dark curls of Flack’s pubic hair was tickling his nose. His mouth was stretched to its limits by Flack’s girth but he didn’t mind, he didn’t mind it at all that Flack was so deliciously thick and stuffed his throat just like this and tasted so good just like that. Flack always tasted and smelled so &lt;i&gt;satisfying&lt;/i&gt;, like a potent drug Danny simply couldn’t kick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn’t want to. Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack let out a particularly loud groan when he drew his head back and began using his tongue to tease the head of Flack’s erection and its equally sensitive underside. Danny would have grinned if he could. One of the perks of being Don Flack, Jr.’s lover was discovering the erogenous zones on the man’s body … and getting familiar with &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; single one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Ohh&lt;/i&gt; … I - I’m … &lt;i&gt;aah&lt;/i&gt;, Dan, you’re so … &lt;i&gt;mmmhh&lt;/i&gt;, yeah, &lt;i&gt;love you&lt;/i&gt; …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack clutched at his hair, tugging his head forward, babbling nonsense in between more groans and moans and it was this babbling, of all things, that made Danny crave to be able to kiss Flack on the lips and suck on Flack’s dick and fuck Flack’s brains out all at once. Flack never blathered like this during sex, and definitely not in a gasping voice several octaves higher that murmured how good Danny was and how he was going to come any minute now and yell the damn place down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, fuck, it turned Danny on so damn &lt;i&gt;bad&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, oh &lt;i&gt;yeah&lt;/i&gt;, ya &lt;i&gt;like&lt;/i&gt; this, don’tcha?” Danny rasped, his lips skimming along the side of Flack’s dripping cock. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack released another audible moan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ya want &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt;, hmm?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny placed his hands on Flack’s inner thighs and pushed outwards, spreading Flack’s legs even more, fully exposing Flack’s erection and drawn up balls and the cleft between those rounded buttocks to his sight. Without any warning, Danny slid his fingers into that cleft, rubbing the puckered entrance into Flack’s body as he resumed deep-throating Flack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Violent shudders shook the homicide detective. Danny felt each one through his left hand gripping Flack’s thigh. Flack was teetering on the edge, panting harshly now, so inundated by pleasure that he could barely prop himself up against the car door. Flack was always reduced to panting whenever he was approaching a powerful orgasm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny strengthened his hold on Flack’s wobbly leg. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And pushed his right forefinger to the knuckle into Flack’s body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack stopped breathing, stiffened like stone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One second, two, &lt;i&gt;three&lt;/i&gt;, and then, Danny’s throat was working to swallow hot spurts of come as Flack involuntarily bucked his hips and thrust deeper into Danny’s mouth. Danny had become so damn good at this that he didn’t choke at all and relaxed and moved in tandem with Flack, letting the softening cock pop out of his mouth only when Flack went limp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny didn’t expect the fingers yanking his hair. He didn’t expect Flack to haul him up by the upper arms to his feet with such force either, not so soon, so fast. For an instant, he feared the worst and presumed he’d pissed off Flack by fingering him without asking for permission first. Most of the time, it took some persuasion on Danny’s part just to touch Flack there. As sexually adventurous with Danny as he was, Flack was surprisingly bashful about intimate physical contact with that particular portion of his nether regions. The furthest Danny had ever gone was to just stroke Flack there with the pads of his fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack was quiet save for perceptible breaths through parted, moist lips. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny tensed up in Flack’s arms, arms clamped around his torso in a near possessive embrace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he stared into Flack’s wide eyes. They were glazed over with intense arousal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And against all the odds … Flack’s erection had already returned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack wasn’t pissed off at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny gasped when Flack lunged his head forward to kiss him deeply, and it was he who started to tremble when Flack leaned back upon the car door, licked his lips, grinded their groins together in a circular motion and said two words Danny thought his lover would never say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fuck me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;+ + +&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny never realized how spacious a lowered front passenger seat of an Infiniti G35 car was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Uuhhh&lt;/i&gt; … Dan, fuck, yeah …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He never realized how &lt;i&gt;fiery&lt;/i&gt; it was either to be dressed in nothing except his socks and boots as he pistoned in and out of Flack’s flexible, hot, incredible body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Oooh fuck&lt;/i&gt;, yeah, Danny -”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s head tossed from side to side on the leather headrest of the seat. Danny could feel the fingers of one of Flack’s hands digging into his shoulder and the other into his hip. Flack was pushing at his shoulder, as if the taller man wanted him to halt and get off of him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The extreme pleasure suffusing Flack’s flushed face, the stirring moans and whimpers emanating from Flack’s gaping mouth, the way Flack spread his bent legs wider told Danny otherwise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fuck me, &lt;i&gt;fuck me&lt;/i&gt; …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hearing Flack rasp those words caused him to groan aloud and he shoved even deeper into Flack, corkscrewing his hips, grinning at the vision of a quivering Flack bent in two beneath him, now wearing just that orange tie and a torn open dress shirt and those black socks that Danny didn’t strip off. He’d craved to fuck Flack while the man was still wearing them. The black contrasting with Flack’s pale, smooth skin drove him as wild as Flack’s tie did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny withdrew halfway then plunged in again, in and out, over and over until Flack was grabbing at the cushion under his head with both hands, moaning at the top of his voice, eyelids fluttering and toes curled inwards. Soon, Danny was groaning in unison with Flack, clutching the back of Flack’s knees, shifting Flack’s legs higher up in the air, watching the sinewy swells of Flack’s abdomen contract every time he pounded his hips against Flack’s bottom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh God, Flack felt so good, so fucking &lt;i&gt;hot&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;tight&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt; that he had to go faster, go deeper, harder, &lt;i&gt;harder&lt;/i&gt; -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Slow down … slow down …”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s palms were flat on his chest, holding him at bay and a low, drawn out groan escaped his lips as Flack deliberately constricted the inner muscles around his cock. Oh fuckfuck&lt;i&gt;fuck&lt;/i&gt;, if Flack thought that was going to make him lose his pace, the guy &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; had something else coming his way -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny, please … slow down,” Flack murmured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was something about Flack’s voice so gravelly and faint that prompted Danny to peel his eyes open and gaze at Flack’s visage, then downwards at Flack’s very evident erection between their sticky bodies. What the, Flack couldn’t possibly be in pain or he wouldn’t be that hard and leaking so much pre-come so why would Flack wish him to … slow … down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A roguish smile materialized itself on Danny’s sweat-beaded mien. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh. &lt;i&gt;Oh&lt;/i&gt;, hoho&lt;i&gt;hoh&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So &lt;i&gt;that’s&lt;/i&gt; how close Flack was, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took quite an effort for Danny to restrain himself. Danny had to release one of Flack’s legs and seize the padded side of the passenger seat till his knuckles turned white just to do so. He was not fond of hurting Flack in any way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Slow down, huh?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thrust inside one last time, then became motionless, buried to the hilt within Flack. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This &lt;i&gt;slow&lt;/i&gt; ‘nough for ya, Don?” Danny said, panting and snickering at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack appeared dazed, those big blue eyes of his wide and glossy and blinking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five whole seconds ticked by. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;i&gt;then&lt;/i&gt;, it finally occurred to Flack what Danny was &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; doing anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Said … &lt;i&gt;slow down&lt;/i&gt; … not &lt;i&gt;stop&lt;/i&gt;, you sonofabitch,” Flack growled. It would have sounded much more threatening had it not been for the semi-amused smirk curving up one end of Flack’s lips, or Flack’s hands reaching behind him to squeeze his buttocks in the vain hopes of resuming their horizontal tango again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s second snicker was louder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Hey&lt;/i&gt;, you don’t insult my &lt;i&gt;Ma&lt;/i&gt; like that, ‘kay? And anyways … it ain’t up to you how much a’ my &lt;i&gt;dick&lt;/i&gt; you’re gettin’, kapish?” Danny replied. He loosened his clench on the passenger seat’s cushion and caressed Flack’s chest, running his fingers through sparse hair, relishing the sensation of Flack’s broad chest rising and falling, of Flack’s heart beating steady underneath his hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s eyes were now crinkled with warmth and a lot of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fuck you, Messer.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s affectionate laughter echoed in the confines of the car. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No, Flack, I believe it’s &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; fuckin’ &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny was helpless in the presence of Flack’s all-encompassing, adoring grin. It lit up his lover’s entire face, and Flack had scarcely begun to chuckle before Danny swooped down to kiss Flack on the lips, opening their mouths, letting their tongues meet and twist, muffling Flack’s moan while he traced the hot, wet area where their bodies were joined with his fingers. Damn, maybe he &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; use more lubricant than necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack was quavering once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny, please,” Flack whispered into his mouth. The homicide detective’s large eyes were almost closed, narrowed into slits bordered by long, dark lashes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny stroked the underside of Flack’s erection and fondled Flack’s balls, eliciting a more piercing moan from the other man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Please what?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s eyelids flickered. Danny watched the Adam’s apple in Flack’s neck bobble once, and then, Flack’s eyes opened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Please, fuck me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny waited a second, then said, “Nope.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bewildered expression Flack had earlier was back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They stared into each other’s eyes, Flack trying his best to comprehend what Danny was seeking from him and Danny trying his best to control himself and hang on long enough for Flack to realize what he yearned to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack blinked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A moment later, something in the left side of Danny’s chest was aching. Flack’s blue eyes were imbued with boundless, meaningful tenderness, a tenderness that Danny knew with all his heart belonged only to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack swallowed visibly a second time, and murmured softly, “Please … love me, Danny.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny blamed the glint of light off the unfastened, metallic seatbelt clip for the sudden moisture in his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, that’s it, that’s it,” he whispered, touching his forehead to Flack’s, caressing the side of Flack’s handsome face and Flack’s thick, dark hair, kissing Flack again and smiling when he felt Flack’s hand brushing past his lower belly. He captured Flack’s wrist and moved Flack’s hand to the side. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Nuh&lt;/i&gt; uh,” Danny said, shaking his head. “Your hands are goin’ nowhere near your schlong, buddy. You’re gonna come just from me fuckin’ you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny chose the term &lt;i&gt;schlong&lt;/i&gt; on purpose; for some reason, it always cracked Flack up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s chuckle helped to dispel any overly-sentimental emotions left in the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Whatever, Danny. You’re the one who’s gonna do all the work for a change.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Are ya kiddin’ me? Ya call this &lt;i&gt;work?&lt;/i&gt;” Danny snarked back, planting kisses all over Flack’s forehead, cheeks, nose and lips. “I could get &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; used to this, ya know.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s broad shoulders shook with more mirth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah? So when are ya actually goin’ to start &lt;i&gt;lovin’&lt;/i&gt; me, crime buster?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny gave Flack a quick and playful nip on the lower lip for that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny pulled out completely, shivering for a second at being separated from his lover. &lt;i&gt;God&lt;/i&gt;, he was already hungering to be deep inside Flack again and he was going to make certain Flack screamed himself voiceless by the time they were done. He kissed Flack yet again, memorizing the fullness of Flack’s lips upon his. Then, he repositioned himself between Flack’s legs and nudged the loosened entrance into Flack’s body with the tip of his erection. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now, Donnie, &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny filled Flack up in a single thrust, a hard, deep one Flack clearly felt to the core. The sharp cry that ripped from Flack’s wide open mouth sent the blood rushing through Danny’s veins like a runaway freight train. Hot damn, hot &lt;i&gt;damn&lt;/i&gt;, he’d never heard Flack cry out like that before. It was a sound of raw, unadulterated pleasure, a sound that made his throat clog up, made a steel band squeeze around his chest, made his cock harder and throbbing more than ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted to hear it again. Wanted to watch and feel Flack squirm under him like the gasping, groaning man was right now, watch Flack throw his head back just like this and bare that long, pale neck and listen to Flack cry out exactly like that again and again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted to make love to Flack forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ahh&lt;i&gt;aaahhh!&lt;/i&gt; Oh my God, I &lt;i&gt;can’t&lt;/i&gt; - I - &lt;i&gt;aaaahh!&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s fingers clawed at Danny’s shoulders and shoulder blades. Upon a slight change of angle of penetration, Flack was arching his back, the muscles of his chest and arms and belly thrown into relief, his cries transforming into uninhibited shouts encouraging Danny to ram in and out of Flack with abandon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Ohhh&lt;/i&gt;, oh &lt;i&gt;fuck!&lt;/i&gt; Right there, &lt;i&gt;right there&lt;/i&gt;, oh &lt;i&gt;fuuuuuck!&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny was suddenly struck by the overwhelming need to kiss Flack, and it was something of an inevitability, something fated and oh so &lt;i&gt;right&lt;/i&gt; that Flack would choose the very same moment to raise his head and press and mold their lips together as if it was their last night together and this was it, &lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt; was what they were going to carry with them in their minds and hearts for the rest of their lives and it was so exquisite, &lt;i&gt;they&lt;/i&gt; were so exquisite, so damn &lt;i&gt;extraordinary&lt;/i&gt; together -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their synchronous orgasms caught both of them unawares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny saw the surprise in Flack’s big eyes, felt the warm bursts of semen splattering their abdomens, the tsunami of gratification coursing through Flack’s convulsing body and into his. A part of Danny’s brain was telling him it was just a piece of good fortune he was coming simultaneously with Flack but he couldn’t care less what the wrinkly organ in his skull was prattling. It truly felt like their bodies, their &lt;i&gt;souls&lt;/i&gt;, had somehow fused together on a transcendent level and the bliss they were experiencing was the endless loop that united them as one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was yelling, that much he knew, and Flack was frantically stroking his face and neck and crying out three very, very beautiful words to him as he shuddered and shoved and shot his seed deep inside his lover’s treasured body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;I love you&lt;/i&gt;, love you so damn much.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny floated in a heavenly haze for an eon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he opened his eyes, he found he was lying chest down on top of Flack, his face nestled against Flack’s cheek, his hand ruffling Flack’s hair while Flack was utterly limp and at ease, arms resting on Danny’s lower back, one leg supported by the car’s dashboard and the other bent over Danny’s thigh. Flack’s eyes were closed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mmmm.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny lifted his head, just a bit, to scrutinize Flack’s features. A smile brightened his own upon noticing the softness of the taller man’s countenance and the even softer smile that made Flack look so boyish. Sex - no, &lt;i&gt;lovemaking&lt;/i&gt; - always did them a great deal of mutual good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s lips were a little dry now, but Danny didn’t give a damn. He’d never get tired of kissing Flack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I love you too,” he murmured, and he sensed more than saw Flack smile widely at his quiet declaration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many minutes flowed by in a peaceful hush. They laid together, cheek to cheek, chest to chest, belly to belly, wordlessly appreciating each other’s company and the unbreakable connection between them. Flack’s breaths were slow and deep. Danny fiddled with Flack’s tie, tickling Flack’s chin with it and smiling sideways at Flack nibbling on the orange, polka-dot material as well as his fingertips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny?” Flack eventually murmured. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny pushed himself up and off Flack’s chest so he could make eye contact with Flack. Flack’s gleaming eyes were half-lidded. There was a twinkle in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is it, Don?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I can’t move.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny chuckled in amusement. Oh &lt;i&gt;yes&lt;/i&gt;, he knew he’d done a darn good job when Flack was so well fucked the guy couldn’t even &lt;i&gt;move&lt;/i&gt;. Now he has an additional reason to mark tonight on his calendar and remember it for all posterity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He cupped Flack‘s beloved face with his hands, kissed his lover then replied in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry ‘bout it. I’ll put yer clothes back on and I’ll drive, ‘kay?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Okay.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s eyes fluttered shut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few more minutes passed with Danny simply gazing at Flack’s mien and stroking Flack’s eyebrows and eyelashes and tapping the tip of Flack’s nose. He loved every bit of Flack’s face, every part of Flack’s body, every blemish, wrinkle and scar and he wouldn’t have Flack any other way. When you love someone, when you &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; love someone, you love them for who they are and not what you expect them to be. That’s what he believed in anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Danny?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s eyes were half-open once more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hmmm?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack stared back at him with a deadpan expression. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, Flack’s lower lip protruded in a very obvious, child-like pout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m still &lt;i&gt;huuuungry&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was nothing Danny could do except laugh out loud and nuzzle Flack’s face and delight in the warmth and firmness and &lt;i&gt;realness&lt;/i&gt; of Flack’s solid, lean body underneath his. That was his Flack, alright, his New York homicide detective with a black hole for a stomach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’ll buy some pizza on the way back. Get a pepperoni and cheese one and that salmon and avocado pizza you’re likin’ so much these days. How ‘bout that?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“‘Kay. That sounds nice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seconds after the word &lt;i&gt;nice&lt;/i&gt;, Flack fell asleep. Danny became so enraptured by how innocent Flack appeared while slumbering that nearly ten minutes went past before he could bring himself to be physically away from the other man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaning them both was fast and easy; Flack stored a towel and a bottle of water along with the lubricant and condoms. The water was only necessary when certain sticky stuff … dried up. Getting Flack dressed up was not so fast and easy, but Danny enjoyed it nonetheless. Flack had unconsciously responded to his touches, moaning faintly and sighing, and hearing those subdued noises had renewed Danny’s desire for Flack in two seconds flat. Damn, Flack had created a sex monster in him and the poor guy didn’t even know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once he checked that Flack’s seatbelt was securely fastened and he had plucked up that stray button that popped off Flack’s dress shirt, he seated himself in the driver’s seat. He grinned to himself. Well, whaddaya know, here was yet &lt;i&gt;another&lt;/i&gt; reason to make tonight a night to commemorate; this was the first time Danny ever got to drive Flack’s car and drive Flack anywhere in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His grin turned tender when he swiveled his head to glance at Flack. Flack was still sleeping, his mouth slightly open. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“C’mon, Don, let’s go home,” Danny murmured. He caressed Flack’s cheek using the back of his fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s answer was a funny snuffle that made the smile on Danny’s lips linger as he maneuvered the car out of the garage and out onto the streets. The city was bustling and jam-packed with vehicles as usual, and for once, Danny didn’t care that he and Flack were going to be stuck in traffic for a while. Flack was here beside him and here they were in the greatest city in the world and they just had what was possibly the most fantastic sex yet and &lt;i&gt;God&lt;/i&gt;, was it &lt;i&gt;fantastic&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s entire face crinkled in glee and anticipation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ohh yeah&lt;/i&gt;, Flack’s days of being the top in the relationship were &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; over!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fin.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, just a few notes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my original outline, the story didn't end as is. There was supposed to be an additional section from &lt;b&gt;Stella&lt;/b&gt;'s point-of-view in which she's back in her apartment after a long day of work and she thinks a bit about Danny and Flack at the labs because she worked with them on a case. She's amused at Danny making Flack blush after saying something random about orange, polka-dot ties and Flack's car. She goes to a cabinet next to her television set and browses through a set of tapes. At first, she picks one called 'Elevator 02', but then changes her mind and then picks up one called 'Garage 03' instead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahah, if you haven't guessed already, the story ends with Stella watching a video of Danny and Flack having sex in Flack's car in Garage Three and saying, "I love my job." *lol*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really should write more bottom!Flack stories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next story to be posted: A sweet and humorous cracktastic one, based on a suggestion a certain somebody on my friends list gave me some time ago. Heheh, that person will know who she is when the story is posted. ;&amp;gt; After that story, the next update will be the final installment for &lt;b&gt;Wherever You Go&lt;/b&gt;. Huzzah!</content>

    <content type="html">As of writing this, I haven't finished watching the entire episode but I just &lt;i&gt;had&lt;/i&gt; to post screencaps for yet another wonderful &lt;b&gt;Danny/Flack&lt;/b&gt; moment (although Danny isn't actually there) for this season!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there's some high school prom and a teacher/school staff dude is found dead with half his face burnt away by acid. Ouch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack and &lt;b&gt;Stella&lt;/b&gt; are the first at the crime scene, Stella kneeling next to the dead body and Flack standing nearby, reading from his notebook details about the dead person. Then, Stella asks, "Who discovered the dead body?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mac&lt;/b&gt; shows up and asks the same question at the same time! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stella stands up to look at Mac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-02.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She smiles at him ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-03.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he's smiling too. Aww, look at him all abashed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-04.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack is amused by this and says, "You two have been workin' together too long."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-05.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stella lets out something like a sharp sigh, still smiling while Mac seems to be smiling in the background too. Flack goes right back to dishing out more details about the dead body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-06.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt;: A student came in lookin' for her keys and, &lt;i&gt;boom&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was quite a pause after he says boom. Dudes, Flack was &lt;i&gt;totally&lt;/i&gt; thinking about Danny when he said boom! :D Look at that reminiscent, soft smile on his face! &lt;i&gt;Oh&lt;/i&gt; yeah, he's thinking about Danny in a very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; nice way. &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-07.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mac&lt;/b&gt;: Boom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-08.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack glances at Mac, with that reminiscent smile still on his lips ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-09.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he raises his eyebrows as Mac says, "You and Danny have been working together way too long."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was Flack's response?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-10.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Awwwwwwwwwwww&lt;/i&gt;. :D :D :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack shrugs his shoulder ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-11.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And smiles softly and shows with his eyes and his whole face just how happy he is to be working way too long with his Danny. With that look, Flack might as well have said, "&lt;i&gt;Yeeaah&lt;/i&gt;, Danny's my other half, ya know? He makes me so happy, and I'm happy when he's happy. I wanna be with him all the time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Awwwwww&lt;/i&gt;. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-12.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, ladies and gentlemen, of all people, &lt;i&gt;Mac&lt;/i&gt; is the one who acknowledges the closeness between Danny and Flack ... and it doesn't bother him one bit! How cool is that?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hot damn, from now on, every time Danny or Flack says boom, we know for sure that they're thinking of each other whenever they do! :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Danny, he was hardly in this episode, which surprised me because based on some spoilers posted at &lt;b&gt;TalkCSI&lt;/b&gt; forums, I had expected more &lt;b&gt;Danny/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; drama to happen. But nope, there was &lt;i&gt;nada&lt;/i&gt;. Me thinks next week's episode is the one with the D/L drama instead. &lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;'s showing up next week, so it should be interesting. (Well, whatever Danny/Rikki scene there is anyway. I've been bored to death of any D/L scenes for a &lt;i&gt;looooooong&lt;/i&gt; time.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one great &lt;b&gt;Danny/Hawkes&lt;/b&gt; moment though:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/418/csiny418-13.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll let ya figure out what's so funny about this screencap. *lol*&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I am almost done with the bottom!Flack sex-in-a-car PWP story. I'll just say there's some kinky stuff in it. Uh hmm.</content>

They look damn good in it. &amp;gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I was hit by the urge to close the distance between them, so to speak. ;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://neo-epiphani.com/df-bridge.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took a random background image off &lt;b&gt;Google&lt;/b&gt;, hahah. I only noticed Danny was more in the foreground of the original promo image when I cropped Danny and Flack out for editing. I actually had to shrink him to scale so he would be standing close beside Flack. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Flack a &lt;i&gt;giant&lt;/i&gt; next to Danny or what? *lol*</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;b&gt;Kristine Huntley&lt;/b&gt;'s review does the episode more justice than any review I could write, so if ya wanna know the down low on everything that happens in it, go &lt;a href="http://www.csifiles.com/reviews/csi/like_water_for_murder.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to read her review! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I have some things to say about it too, in particular certain scenes I'm sure many of you are curious about. ;P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a slightly longer version of &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=709259&amp;amp;postcount=43"&gt;my review&lt;/a&gt; from the &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showthread.php?p=709259"&gt;TalkCSI grading thread&lt;/a&gt; for the episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yay! Flack at the beach! Don't lie, you imagined what he'd look like in swimming trunks, didn't ya?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Flack&lt;/b&gt; is snarky-awesome and his gorgeous self, as usual.  Now I get the 'Abercombie twins' thing. Seriously, how the hell did the girl NOT see the shark and corpse from a mile away?! And Flack eating that chocolate after interrogating the perp = priceless. Flack, you are such a food freak! I wish the scene had shown Flack actually taking the chocolate off the tray because I was confused for a moment how he went from just standing there with Stella to walking away already eating a piece of chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-05.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stella&lt;/b&gt;: Does it blow your mind?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;HAWKES&lt;/b&gt;. Oh my God, TPTB &lt;i&gt;finally&lt;/i&gt; remembers the black dude of the show! So nice to see much Hawkes in this episode, even if it was him arms deep in the guts of a tiger shark. *lol* Watching him in the autopsy room reminded me of his season one days when he was still just an ME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-02.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Quinn&lt;/b&gt; ... Okay, she surprised me. I was expecting her to be the typical dislikable inspector come to pass judgement on the labs but, she played her role well. She has this mature beauty about her too, similar to &lt;b&gt;Stella&lt;/b&gt;. I'm glad TPTB didn't cast another supermodel or something. *rolls eyes* Introducing her as somebody who has a crush on &lt;b&gt;Mac&lt;/b&gt; was ... hmm, I didn't really care for it. It didn't make me think less of her though. To me, their conversation in Mac's office showed they're both simply human. I'm very glad the spoilers for Mac changed a lot in the final episode! Hurrah to the writers for showing Mac can make mistakes but still show he loved his wife and acknowledged his mistake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-04.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- What the hell is with &lt;b&gt;Reed&lt;/b&gt; suddenly becoming such a whiny brat?! That wasn't the Reed I remember from past episodes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EDIT&lt;/b&gt;: For &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='johanirae' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://johanirae.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://johanirae.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;johanirae&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Reed now owns a news blog. In the screencap, he's 'making a deal' with Mac to be the first to have inside info on the murder, so to speak. Later, Reed goes to see Mac and is pissed that the newspapers already got the inside scoop when he's promised his blog readers he would be the first to report the juicy stuff. :P And yeah, he was real whiny in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Okay, now on to whatever's going on between Danny and &lt;b&gt;Lindsay&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The speculations for this week's episode was that Lindsay was going to do her ignore-Danny thing like she did in episode 4x16 and then walk away from Danny when he tried to approach her to talk about things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well. The final episode went far beyond my expectations again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On first viewing of the scene with Danny and Lindsay where they're in the labs and talking about the movie &lt;b&gt;Jaws&lt;/b&gt;, I actually went, "What the fuck?" because after Lindsay's Monologue of Doom in the previous episode I expected at least some amount of tension between them. So it was &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; odd to see them acting as if nothing ever happened. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least, that's what it looked like at first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny and Lindsay are talking about Jaws because one of the cases involves a dead tiger shark. They seem fine with each other and then, Danny says, "We should rent it," referring to renting the movie to watch. He's looking at her with this ambiguous, wide-eyed expression, almost &lt;i&gt;blank&lt;/i&gt;, to be honest. It was the first time in a long while I was unable to tell what he was trying to convey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then Lindsay shows her true colors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her face falls. She stops doing whatever evidence processing she was doing, then, without looking Danny, she says, "This is hard," and walks off without even bothering to store her evidence or anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting point of this scene, however, is Danny's utter lack of reaction. If he was supposedly Lindsay's 'exclusive, long-term boyfriend', he would have at the very least looked at her or gone after her to talk to her or something &lt;i&gt;before she was out of the scene&lt;/i&gt;. But no ... he just sat where he was and sighed and bit his lower lip. He was seriously giving off, "Geez, why do I get myself into these situations? I thought she'd be over it by now," vibes. I don't think it was the first time Lindsay's reacted towards him like that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-03.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, Danny. You and your issues. *lol*&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the way he looked hard at her when he casually mentioned renting Jaws? I think it was him testing the waters, to see whether she really is getting over her feelings for him or not. I guess he's not pleased she hasn't. *lol* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, I will be very shocked if it's revealed next week they were boyfriend-girlfriend. In this Jaws scene, it definitely looked to me like both of them are trying their best to just be friends, which is a pleasantly surprising route for the writers to take. I doubt Danny's actually spoken to Lindsay about their situation though. If Lindsay knew about &lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;, I think she would be a lot more upset. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's the possibility Danny may not see any reason to tell Lindsay about Rikki since Lindsay herself already told him she wants to get over her feelings for him. It is also possible Danny's waiting to tell Lindsay about Rikki when he's sure Lindsay can handle the news. So if the spoilers are true ... we may be seeing that  very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- And then there's the scene with Mac and Lindsay. Okay, I get why people thought she was a little annoying in there. *lol* Even Mac was giving her a, "Oh &lt;i&gt;great&lt;/i&gt;, is she going to do one of her demonstrations again?" look. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/417/csiny417-06.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that can qualify as Mac's official WTF face.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her reaction to Mac calling her out on abandoning her evidence made me go WTF big time. Her, "What?" made her look ... stupid. No offense, but it really did. It was like she didn't even remember how irresponsible she was until Mac reminded her and then, instead of apologizing, she immediately lobs the blame/responsibility onto Danny by saying that Danny would have cleaned up after her. That was very unprofessional. It also implied to me that she assumes Danny will clean up whatever mess she leaves behind as if it's his obligation to do it. Again, very unprofessional and presumptuous of Lindsay about Danny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;But!&lt;/i&gt; I am glad she actually &lt;i&gt;*gasp*&lt;/i&gt; acknowledged it was a lame excuse after saying it. Maybe there's hope for you, after all, Lindsay. Heh, I don't think she ever knew Danny at all, or vice versa. I agree with the &lt;b&gt;CSI Files&lt;/b&gt; review that it was gratifying to finally see Lindsay being called out on a wrongdoing, even though she &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; got off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if Danny's lack of reaction and nonchalance towards Lindsay wasn't enough that any D/L relationship is over before it even began ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lindsay&lt;/b&gt;: I should have never gotten involved with someone I work with. It was stupid. Really stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She actually said that, word for word, to Mac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsay saying that is practically the last nail in the coffin for D/L. Should TPTB hook them up any time soon, both Danny and Lindsay will look &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; moronic, especially Lindsay. After what she said to Mac? I'll have ZERO respect for her character if she jumps into the sack with Danny again, or anyone else on the team working with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hope this means TPTB is &lt;i&gt;FINALLY&lt;/i&gt; going to stop using Danny as a prop for Lindsay and make Lindsay an independent character who will stand on her own. Three seasons is a very long time to do that, and it may very well be too late to undo the damage caused to her character but ... better late than never, I suppose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, things get mighty spoilerish for the next episode from here onwards!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are my speculations for next week's episode?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got nada. *lol* Danny and Lindsay already trying to be just friends and Lindsay pretty much making a vow to never get involved with a co-worker again was very, very unexpected. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't quite figure out how Lindsay finding out about Rikki will cause tension between her and Danny if they're not in a relationship, other than her being jealous of Rikki and Danny already having another woman in his life when she's still trying to get over her feelings for him. That one seems the most logical and likely to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What interests me is &lt;i&gt;how&lt;/i&gt; she's going to find out. Is Danny going to tell her? What would prompt him to tell her if he hasn't done so so far? Will Lindsay approach him next week to tell him she can't get over her feelings for him and ask him to consider a serious relationship even though he doesn't feel the same anyway? I can't see that happening, knowing what she's said to Mac about 'being stupid for getting involved with someone she works with'. She'll just make herself look like an idiot with no willpower whatsoever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Lindsay will overhear Danny talking to Rikki on the phone early in the episode and realize Danny's become very close to Rikki. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or perhaps Lindsay will keep trying to just be friends with Danny and ask him out for lunch or dinner again, and then Danny tells her he already has plans with Rikki.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno. I just love that anything goes right now. :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are your speculations for next week?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Since next week's episode is a repeat, there'll be a couple of Danny/Flack one-shots popping up soon!</content>

    <content type="html">Before I begin on new speculations for upcoming episodes, I have this to say to visitors to this LJ: Thank you for visiting and taking a look at my stories, art, spoiler discussions, etc. I appreciate it. What I &lt;i&gt;don't&lt;/i&gt; appreciate, however, is when people comment just to throw accusations at my friends or pull the shipper martyrdom card. Hello, have you taken a good look at the image banner of this LJ lately?! If you don't like &lt;b&gt;Danny/Flack&lt;/b&gt; or slash or anything you don't agree with here, then by all means, please go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to be here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, on with the spoilers and new speculations!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a &lt;a href="http://csiny-sl.livejournal.com/97714.html"&gt;previous post&lt;/a&gt;, I made speculations for how episode 4x16 would turn for the &lt;b&gt;Danny/Rikki/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; situation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;One way or another, Danny's going to be spending time with Rikki in his apartment and kisses her and gets intimate with her. This could happen either before or after Lindsay's monologue about being mad and in love and all that jazz. If it's before, there's a big chance the monologue scene will be at the end of the episode. Lindsay'll blab her monologue and we may see a quiet Danny who doesn't know what to say to her without hurting Lindsay's feelings. Then the episode ends with everyone wondering what Danny will say to her about things, thus making people wanna tune in next week. *lol* Either that, or before Danny is able to say anything, the scene is interrupted by someone else showing up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, damn, who woulda thought &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; of it would come to pass? :D Granted, there are a few different details but WOO&lt;i&gt;HOO!&lt;/i&gt; I am quite optimistic about next week's episode now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To tell you the truth, the Danny/Rikki scene in episode 4x16 went &lt;i&gt;far&lt;/i&gt; beyond my expectations. I initially hoped there would be no sex because I was concerned TPTB would end up cheapening the events in episodes 4x11 and 13. But when spoilers from &lt;b&gt;Ausiello&lt;/b&gt; confirmed it, there was no turning back on that particular route.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say I am pleased by how the D/R scene was handled is one hell of an understatement. We didn't just get intense physical intimacy, we got physical &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; emotional intimacy of a very deep and mature level. It was a fantastic double whammo that destroyed any chances of the sex between Danny and Rikki of being shallow and uninvolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(If you haven't seen the episode/scene, you can see a whole bunch of screencaps plus a rundown of the dialogue &lt;a href="http://csiny-sl.livejournal.com/99023.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It's image-heavy so if you're on dial-up, you may have to wait a little while.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it had been simply a one night stand and they both regretted it in any way and if it had been Rikki who turned to Danny and not the other way around ... I can still see potential for Danny/Lindsay to happen in upcoming episodes (if it's confirmed that they never were in a relationship all this time). However, having watched the D/R scene and the incredible intimacy and care and affection Danny and Rikki have for each other, I'll even go as far as to say that there's almost zero chance of D/L ever recovering. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've read other speculations saying that Danny will 'suddenly see the error of his ways and go grovelling at Lindsay's feet' or that 'hearing Lindsay say she's fallen in love with him will make him realize he's in love with her too'. Again, having watched the D/R scene and seeing how much Danny yearns for Rikki to stay with him and how he constantly touches and caresses her with such gentleness ... I highly doubt he sees Rikki as an 'error', much less grovel at Lindsay's feet after the way Lindsay ranted on him about how Danny never went to her for support &lt;i&gt;on her terms&lt;/i&gt; and that he's a jerk for merely turning down her offer of lunch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, if &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='faylinn_drake' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;faylinn_drake&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'s speculation for the upcoming episode next week comes to pass, Danny will most likely realize Lindsay isn't the person he thought she was, after all. (Please refer to &lt;b&gt;Carmine Giovinazzo&lt;/b&gt;'s June 2007 interview with &lt;b&gt;CSI Files&lt;/b&gt; for the exact quote.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the speculations for episode 4x17:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In episode 4x16, Lindsay blatantly ignored Danny at the labs before &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; after her monologue. This proves that she didn't get all huffy because of Rikki but simply because Danny didn't want to go out to lunch with her that day. And how could she even get upset about Rikki when she &lt;i&gt;doesn't even know about it?&lt;/i&gt; People who are assuming Lindsay 'stood up' to Danny about Danny 'cheating' on her with Rikki are certainly mistaking fanon for canon. Please repeat after me: FANON IS &lt;i&gt;NOT&lt;/i&gt; CANON. As of now, we &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; don't know what the relationship between Danny and Lindsay is. And I reiterate, &lt;i&gt;Lindsay doesn't know about Rikki at all&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsay continues to blatantly ignore Danny even after he approaches her at the labs and says, "Lindsay ... I'm sorry. We have to talk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In episode 4x17, there's a very big chance TPTB will drag out the drama between Danny and Lindsay with Lindsay continuing her childish ignore-Danny-to-punish-him-for-not-leaning-on-her tactic. It would stall any discussion of the situation, and it fits well with the 'possible D/L moment' spoiler for this episode, that an inspector called &lt;b&gt;Quinn&lt;/b&gt; will see some 'moment' between them that causes Lindsay to abandon her evidence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Danny approaches her in the labs again but to make a point, she walks away from him as well as the evidence she's processing. All it takes is a moment to do that. And since they're in the labs in full view of other people, Danny will probably attempt to talk to her some other time and leave. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speculations for episode 4x18:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't see a positive resolution next week for D/L. In fact, I don't see a positive resolution even in episode 18, if the spoiler posted at TalkCSI forums is anything to go by. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Episode 18 is entitled &lt;b&gt;Admissions&lt;/b&gt;, which is another reason why I think TPTB will just drag the drama from episode 17 into episode 18. The spoiler at TalkCSI forums claims that 'there will be a little tension between Danny and Lindsay over Rikki'. So yes, depending on how things go, by next episode or the one after next ... Lindsay will find out about Rikki. Whether or not Danny chooses to have a relationship with Rikki or not, that's something only time will tell. I have my fingers crossed that Danny will choose to be with Rikki, especially if TPTB really goes with the above speculation for episode 17. Lindsay acting bratty like that will only serve to cement the realization that Lindsay is not who Danny thought to be, much less his 'best friend' or 'someone to lean on'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dudes, that's &lt;i&gt;Flack&lt;/i&gt;, hands down. *lol* ;&amp;gt; Episode 4x13, anyone?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speculations for episode 4x19:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, yes, the 'date' at the basketball game. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell ya, having seen the D/R scene, I am confident enough to say the chances of this being a romantic, happy date between Danny and Lindsay is almost nil. The only, most remote way I can imagine it happening is if Rikki suddenly packs her bags and leaves before the episode itself and abandons Danny just like that. I can't see that happening at all. Her honesty with him and the way she was looking out more for him than herself, with her being so straightforward about their sex and their motives and hoping he'd push her away ... nope, it would be very out of left field for her to suddenly do that or for Danny to even accept it without being very upset and unhappy. It would mean yet &lt;i&gt;another&lt;/i&gt; person abandoning him when he needs them. How much more can the poor guy take?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still think the 'date' spoiler is a bust or the scene ends up with different characters instead. &lt;i&gt;However&lt;/i&gt;, I can still see it as a &lt;i&gt;friends&lt;/i&gt; only thing between Danny and Lindsay if their discussion in episode 18 about Rikki ends on an amicable and mature note. If that's the case, then them being at the game together is Danny's peace offering for unintentionally hurting Lindsay's feelings and wanting them to start over as friends. I hope this is so because it might mean we &lt;i&gt;finally&lt;/i&gt; get to see Lindsay grow up and become more of a decent character. It would mean a clean slate for Danny and Lindsay too, and TPTB can start anew with Lindsay's character and give her storylines that no longer need to involve Danny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only spoiler I've heard so far for this episode is: Both Danny and Rikki are starting freshly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ambiguous, I know. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heh, there have been some amusing speculations it could be Danny and &lt;i&gt;Flack&lt;/i&gt; at the game. *lol* It's canon that Danny and Flack play hoops together on Saturdays (from the pilot episode!), which means they definitely enjoy the game and would know something about it. Heheheh, I'll be over the moon if this really happens. It's not as impossible as it sounds: the spoilers for episode 4x15 showed that in the bar scene, it should have been Flack and &lt;i&gt;Mac&lt;/i&gt;, but in the final episode, it was Flack and &lt;i&gt;Danny&lt;/i&gt;. ;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it Wednesday yet? *lol* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I am finishing a sorta cracktastic D/F story, as well as the bottom!Flack sex-in-the-car PWP.</content>

    <title>Episode 4x16 - The Danny/Rikki scene</title>

    <content type="html">Oh man, I really want to finish a few of my &lt;b&gt;Danny/Flack&lt;/b&gt; one-shot stories so I'm limiting my post on episode 4x16 to just the &lt;b&gt;Danny/Rikki&lt;/b&gt; scene. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because it's &lt;i&gt;damn hot&lt;/i&gt;, that's why. *lol* &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you're interested in my thoughts for the episode overall, I did post a &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=705181&amp;amp;postcount=61"&gt;review&lt;/a&gt; in the grading thread for the episode at &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TalkCSI&lt;/b&gt; forums&lt;/a&gt;. Some of it may only make sense if you've read the other reviews in the thread. It's just mind-boggling what a certain group of people are calling Danny and Rikki. So far, I've been told Danny is either an 'asshole' or a 'cheating bastard', while Rikki is a 'cow' or a 'bitch'. How ironic the people hurling these insults are so much more like the rude names than Danny and Rikki are, eh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's how the Danny/Rikki scene went down:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki01.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny's shirtless and rummaging through his fridge for ingredients for breakfast. Yep, he's cooking breakfast for both himself and Rikki, the special &lt;b&gt;Messer Omelette&lt;/b&gt;! *lol*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sniff* No chest hair. ;_;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki02.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He gets a call from Lindsay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: Messer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says this in his usual tone, but I got the vibe that he sounded content due to being together with Rikki more than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki03.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost immediately, Danny asks Lindsay how Stella is (because Stella's apartment burnt down in the beginning of the episode) and he tells Lindsay to let Stella know she has his support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's very in-character of him, since Danny's been shown again and again to be supportive of his friends, even Lindsay. I guess that's part of why I felt her Monologue of Doom in the latter half of the episode came off as very self-centered and petty and even manipulative to some level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki04.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, Lindsay asks him if he wants to go out for lunch, saying it's her turn to buy. He instantly tells her that he has lots of things to do, such as going to the bank, going to the dry cleaners and bringing his bike to the shop to be fixed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing is that Danny only displays some annoyance when Lindsay asks him what's wrong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: What do you mean 'what's wrong'? Nothing's wrong. I just - I just got some stuff to do, and uh, I'll see you at work, a'right? Bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki05.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny ends the call with Lindsay. Moments later, Rikki appears in the scene, walking out from the bedroom wearing only Danny's shirt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki06.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Maybe I should take a rain check on Messer's famous omelette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki07.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Sounds like you have a busy day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's picking up her clothes from the living room in front of the couch. Oh &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt;. So &lt;i&gt;that's&lt;/i&gt; where it started! &amp;gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki08.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: No, no, no, this is somethin' you don't wanna pass up. This omelette is a masterpiece. I'm makin' one for myself, makin' two is like, nothin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki09.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Danny -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki10.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: It's just breakfast, Rikki. Just breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Awwwww&lt;/i&gt;. Puppy dog eyes of Lurve at full blast! *lol*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, the way he said it, he might as well have said, "Please don't go. I want to be with you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki11.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rikki is quiet for a moment, like she has to strengthen her resolve, and then she says ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki12.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Last night was just sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki13.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, it's definitely more than just that for Danny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki14.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Before my son died, you were just the guy that I joked with in the hallway ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki15.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: And joked with at the mail boxes ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki16.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: What are we doing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki17.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny cups her face in his hands and touches their foreheads together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: Makin' each other feel better ... &lt;i&gt;(can't hear what he said)&lt;/i&gt; Ruben's gone, there's nothin' wrong with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can anyone help me out and let me know what Danny said before 'Ruben's gone'? I tried my best to figure it out but it's too mumbled to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki18.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny kisses her, but Rikki attempts to pull away, not because she doesn't want to kiss Danny but because ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki19.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Danny ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She says this in a husky voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki20.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She pauses, and he's constantly touching her, stroking her arms, brushing the hair away from her face, etc. It's very, very sweet. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki21.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: One day you're going to wake up ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki22.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: And realize Ruben's death wasn't your fault. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rikki has forgiven Danny/never blamed him, but it's clear Danny still blames himself, even after Rikki herself tells him it's not his fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki23.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: I guess he was with you when he was shot, but it was an accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that Danny swallows visibly when she says the last few words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki24.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He glances downwards to look at her face again, exhaling heavily in a sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: And me ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki25.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny cups her head with his hands again. Awww.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki26.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: Can't you see that I'm just taking advantage of the guilt you feel ... so that I don't have to be alone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even before she's halfway through with her question, he's already shaking his head in mild protest, as if to show he knows it could be her just making an excuse to not be with him/doesn't care that she's doing that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki27.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He touches foreheads with her again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: I don't care ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki28.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: I don't care 'cause I just want this hurt to go away ... don't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rikki nods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love how what Danny says here can be interpreted in a number of ways. One, it could be him acknowledging that he's also using her like she claimed to be using him or two, it's him telling her he knows she's still in pain as well as himself, and that he wants to ease her pain. Considering his actions and behavior with her in episode 4x11 and 13, I'm inclined to go with the latter. It fits well with his character too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki29.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny kisses her again ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki30.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she returns the kiss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki31.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice how tightly he holds her to him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki32.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when Rikki eventually and reluctantly pulls away, Danny touches foreheads with her once more and is holding her head in his hands. &lt;i&gt;Awwwwwwww&lt;/i&gt;. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki33.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rikki shakes her head a little, then murmurs ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt;: I really should go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look, even when he moves back, he's still holding onto her, like he can't bear to let her go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki34.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: Okay ... okay ... but this is my shirt, I - I'm gonna need my shirt back, okay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice he has a tiny smile on his lips. Oh, he &lt;i&gt;knows&lt;/i&gt; she ain't getting away that easy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki35.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt;: Before you go ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He starts to unbutton his shirt off her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She laughs briefly and softly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki36.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He attempts to unbutton the first button ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki37.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki38.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they're kissing again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki39.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like Rikki draws away the tiniest bit, but Danny quickly leans his head forward to kiss her again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki40.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they're off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki41.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rikki keeps saying she has to leave ... but her hand holding his neck that way implies she doesn't want to leave at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki42.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahahah, now we know what Danny looks like with bedhead after a night of hot, intimate sex! &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki43.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the way he's holding her so tightly and closely to him! With both arms ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki44.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the way he's supporting her head with his elbow and arm! It's really as if he can't bear to not touch her all the time and be as close to her as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki45.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even thought Rikki seems shy/nervous, she eventually gives in to her emotions too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki46.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.neo-epiphani.com/csinysc/416/dannyrikki47.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'mon. Would you say no to &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; hotness? *lol*&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's one of those scenes you gotta watch for yourself to fully appreciate it. :D I lovelove&lt;i&gt;loved&lt;/i&gt; it, and I hope very much that we will see more of Rikki and Danny together with Rikki! :D</content>

    <content type="html">I just love spoilers. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=703871&amp;amp;postcount=287"&gt;The spoiler that's confirmed&lt;/a&gt; is the one for episode 20, in which &lt;b&gt;Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; tells &lt;b&gt;Hawkes&lt;/b&gt; that she misses being called 'Montana':&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Debra in Pasadena, Calif.: CSI: NY! I need Danny-Lindsay info!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an upcoming episode, Lindsay admits to missing "Montana," Danny's old nickname for her. Awww...angst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='vegaslights' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://vegaslights.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://vegaslights.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;vegaslights&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for the spoiler!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;b&gt;Top41&lt;/b&gt; at &lt;b&gt;TalkCSI&lt;/b&gt; forums, it's from &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=703877&amp;amp;postcount=289"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kristin&lt;/b&gt; at &lt;b&gt;E!Online&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, via the Monday night chat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=703919&amp;amp;postcount=293"&gt;new spoiler&lt;/a&gt;, this came from the same TalkCSI member who's stated that the &lt;b&gt;CSI:NY&lt;/b&gt; cast and crew were filming at his/her school:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some more information. Currently the production team is working on 4x18 and 4x19 simultaneously. I believe 4x18 is called "Admissions", and 4x19 is called "Personal Foul". The story is about a serial killer. Reed is going to show up in 4x19 at least. He looks extremely sweet in person. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I know, both Danny and Rikki are going to start freshly. And it looks like a double cliff hanger by the end of 4x19.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awwww, &lt;b&gt;Mac&lt;/b&gt;'s step-son &lt;b&gt;Reed&lt;/b&gt; will be in episode 4x19! And there'll be a double cliff hanger for the episode? Wouldn't surprise me if one of them was &lt;b&gt;Danny/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt;-related.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And speaking of DL ... are you guys as curious as I am about 'both Danny and &lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt; starting freshly'? It's a rather ambiguous line. *lol* One, it could mean Danny and Rikki are going to be officially a couple by the time this episode is over or two, it could mean Danny and Rikki split ways. Interesting! I hope the TalkCSI member tells more soon. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it Wednesday yet? *lol*</content>

    <content type="html">If you haven't watched it yet, it's available &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFhzLrztj9w"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Oh &lt;i&gt;yeah&lt;/i&gt;. It's about 110% certainty that it's &lt;b&gt;Rikki&lt;/b&gt; whom &lt;b&gt;Danny&lt;/b&gt; is kissing. And oh HEY, shirtless Danny! :D Who can complain about &lt;i&gt;that?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On to new spoilers ... there's a member of &lt;b&gt;TalkCSI&lt;/b&gt; forums who claims that the &lt;b&gt;CSI:NY&lt;/b&gt; cast had been filming at his/her school, most likely for episode 18. (Thanks to &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='faylinn_drake' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://faylinn-drake.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;faylinn_drake&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for looking up info on future episodes involving a school!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what the member had to say: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;A little insider information, Lindsey and Danny got into a little tension because of Rikki. Reed is back, but that is going to be Mac drama probably by the end of this season.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how legit the info is but if it's true, I think it's safe to say that this week's episode will &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; end happily for the &lt;b&gt;Danny/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; ship. Also, we have some clue that the cliffhanger in the season finale may be &lt;b&gt;Mac&lt;/b&gt;-related, which is no surprise since Mac is the main protagonist and head CSI of the show. Nice to know there'll be more of Mac's step-son &lt;b&gt;Reed&lt;/b&gt;! Finally, we may get new insight on Mac's background. &lt;small&gt;I just hope the awful spoiler I read for episode 17 never comes to pass because it makes Mac look &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; bad.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heh. Chances are, if you're reading this, you're dreading the Lindsay Monologue of Doom that's going to take place in this week's episode. If you haven't watched the new and longer promo, you should. In the clip, it's revealed, "I've fallen in love with you," isn't the full sentence Lindsay says to Danny. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full sentence is, "I'm mad at myself because I've fallen in love with you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting, hm? Now why would Lindsay say such a thing unless she &lt;i&gt;knows&lt;/i&gt; Danny doesn't feel the same about her? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;i&gt;God&lt;/i&gt;, you should see the way she delivers the line. It's ... it's bad. Like, what-are-you-trying-to-friggin'-emote-now and can-you-please-put-some-FEELING-into-it bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I thought a bit about what might happen in upcoming episodes. Based on all the spoilers I've read so far and based on various interviews, this is what I speculate will happen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In this week's episode, it's 110% certain Danny will at least kiss Rikki in the episode. And he's shirtless. (Hey, &lt;b&gt;John Dove&lt;/b&gt;, writer for the show, you kept your promise! Way to go!) &lt;b&gt;Ausiello&lt;/b&gt; mentioned that there might be 'possibly sex', so I think there's a big chance we'll be seeing flashes of Danny and Rikki doing the horizontal tango or something. Heh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;b&gt;Carmine Giovinazzo&lt;/b&gt;'s latest interview with &lt;b&gt;CSI Files&lt;/b&gt;, he said that Danny will 'turn to someone in a very intimate way' to deal with the events of episodes 11 and 13. It's a very telling and stark contrast with him having said, before the season three finale, that Danny and Lindsay would 'end up in the sack'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The words 'turn to' implies Danny is the one who'll make the first move, not Rikki. The word 'intimate' already implies a deeper connection between Danny and Rikki than just physical, sexual pleasure. So while it's still very possible it'll just be a one time thing, it's also just as likely that this is the beginning of a serious relationship between Danny and Rikki. And in his interview, Carmine &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; say that there will be the 'beginning of something' very soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's how I figure it may go: One way or another, Danny's going to be spending time with Rikki in his apartment and kisses her and gets intimate with her. This could happen either before or after Lindsay's monologue about being mad and in love and all that jazz. If it's before, there's a big chance the monologue scene will be at the end of the episode. Lindsay'll blab her monologue and we may see a quiet Danny who doesn't know what to say to her without hurting Lindsay's feelings. Then the episode ends with everyone wondering what Danny will say to her about things, thus making people wanna tune in next week. *lol* Either that, or before Danny is able to say anything, the scene is interrupted by someone else showing up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on the newest spoiler that there's tension between Danny and Lindsay over Rikki in episode 18, there's also the chance that Danny actually tells Lindsay that he has feelings for Rikki instead, hence Lindsay saying she's mad at herself for falling in love with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah, I seriously do not see a happy ending for the DL ship. It totally doesn't make sense that Danny would tell her he feels the same too, considering how standoffish he's been towards her for the &lt;i&gt;whole season&lt;/i&gt;. Don't forget the foreshadowing where Lindsay told Danny she thought he'd left in the season three finale, or that TPTB cut out &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; the DL scenes in episode 6 either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In episode 17, the DL moment may possibly be Lindsay running after Danny in the labs to continue their talk. (Or rather, to find out once and for all what Danny feels about her.) I'm thinking she'll be desperate enough for an answer to walk away from her evidence and attempt to get Danny to talk to her in full view of an inspector who's inspecting the labs. I highly doubt there'll be anything mushy involved, based on what the inspector says to Mac later about Lindsay leaving her evidence unattended. Also, Mac only talks to Lindsay about it, and not Danny, implying that it's a one-sided thing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Carmine's June interview with CSI Files? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says that Danny will find out 'Lindsay's not all he thought she was' and 'do what young men do and look elsewhere'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This DL moment may be when Danny finally does tell Lindsay his true feelings ... and says that he's in love with Rikki and that he doesn't feel the same for Lindsay, let's be friends, blahblahblah, ya know. I can't see him being mean at all towards Lindsay. It's not in his character to be that way. He gets mad and hot-tempered, yes, but mean or spiteful? No. That's &lt;i&gt;Lindsay's&lt;/i&gt; game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In episode 18, if the newest spoiler is true, Lindsay knows about Danny having been with Rikki (or is still with Rikki, even), and is unhappy about it and makes sure Danny knows it. Episode 15 and her being patronizing and reminding Danny multiple times about forgetting her birthday implies that she won't think twice about rubbing it in that Danny's 'the bad guy'. There'll probably be a lot of awkwardness, like it was in episode 15 but worse. Yikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I know, in episode 19, the spoilers show Danny and Lindsay on what seems to be a date at the basketball game. However, the game is &lt;i&gt;tied to the case&lt;/i&gt;. So, it's not necessarily true that this is a romantic date. For all I know, this could just be Lindsay telling Danny he still owes her one for forgetting her birthday and that he had to make it up to her ... and poor Danny who's easily guilt-tripped will probably do it. Even though he makes sure to complain about the costs of the tickets during the game. *lol* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thinking this one will go through major editing before the final episode airs. To me, it's a spoiler that stands out oddly from the others. Until the next couple of episodes air, I won't speculate further on this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In episode 20 (which, as of writing this, is going to be filmed), there's a scene with Lindsay and &lt;b&gt;Hawkes&lt;/b&gt; in which Hawkes calls Lindsay &lt;b&gt;Montana&lt;/b&gt; (Yeah, yeah, I know, way to continue bashing it over our heads that she's from OMG MONTANA LAND OF THE WHEATFIELDS). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing is that she says to Hawkes she 'misses being called that'/'it's been a while since she's been called that'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if she and Danny are in a relationship by then, why would she say such a thing? It implies that things truly have grown cold between her and Danny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ETA&lt;/b&gt;: This spoiler has been &lt;a href="http://talk.csifiles.com/showpost.php?p=703871&amp;amp;postcount=287"&gt;confirmed&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra in Pasadena, Calif.: CSI: NY! I need Danny-Lindsay info!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an upcoming episode, Lindsay admits to missing "Montana," Danny's old nickname for her. Awww...angst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well. We'll find out sooner or later, hm? I can't wait to see how close or far the episodes deviate from the above! What are &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; speculations? :D Gimme gimme! :D</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;b&gt;Ausiello&lt;/b&gt; of &lt;b&gt;TV Guide&lt;/b&gt; just came up with a &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; juicy spoiler regarding the &lt;b&gt;Danny/Lindsay&lt;/b&gt; ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it is, courtesy of &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='elsiekate' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://elsiekate.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://elsiekate.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;elsiekate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question: I just picked up the new issue of TV Guide so I could learn about all of my returning favorites, and I nearly stopped breathing when I read the CSI: NY update. Danny and Lindsay are going to cool off? What does that mean exactly? — Andrea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ausiello: I'm hearing something about another woman. And possibly &lt;i&gt;[Don't shoot the messenger!]&lt;/i&gt; some sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, guys, it seems &lt;b&gt;Danny/Rikki&lt;/b&gt; is going canon! And they'll probably have sex! o.o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, that renders my previous speculations obsolete. *lol* I guess I shouldn't be surprised TPTB will go down this route. Unless it's done really well, it's going to end up yet another cliched mess on the show that's already bogged with cliched crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But thinking about it, the only way I can envision the sex between Danny and Rikki is that it'll be very loving and sweet and gentle. :) After everything that's happen between them and involving them? I can't imagine Danny treating Rikki with anything less than the utmost respect and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='1csimfan' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://1csimfan.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://1csimfan.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;1csimfan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; brought up a great point while we were chatting about the spoilers once: Rikki may have appeared in only two episode so far, but we can already tell she's very close with Danny. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In episode 11, we already see how close Danny and Rikki are. She invites him for coffee. Danny is totally comfortable leaning himself on the door frame showing himself off the way he did in front of her and her son. *lol* She leaves her son in Danny's care in complete trust. Later on, she goes into his apartment and they're both comfortable with that. He even asks her to stay for coffee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, let's not forget what Danny did for her in episode 13: He was willing to risk his &lt;i&gt;job&lt;/i&gt; to save Rikki from a bad fate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; takes a lot more than just friendship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah. I am &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; excited about this development! :D I'm kinda hopeful because the actress playing Rikki can actually &lt;i&gt;act&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the dreaded Lindsay monologue that'll happen in either episode 15 or 16, &lt;span class='ljuser' lj:user='1perfectanomaly' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://1perfectanomaly.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://1perfectanomaly.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;1perfectanomaly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has a very good point about it: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Actually, the more I think about it, the Lindsay monologue could be a big "she's not all he thought she'd be" moment. Hearing her wank about herself when the situation has nothing to do with her could just make Danny tell her to fuck off and die. Especially if she in any way bad mouths Rikki during her tirade.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl, I just &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; your speculation about the monologue. *lol* I can definitely see it being that way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh &lt;i&gt;yes&lt;/i&gt;, remember &lt;b&gt;Carmine Giovinazzo&lt;/b&gt;'s interview where he said 'Danny's going to look elsewhere' and find out 'Lindsay's not all he thought she'd be'? Uh &lt;i&gt;hmm&lt;/i&gt;, looks like what he said might very well be coming true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heh, yes, there's still the spoiler about a possible 'DL moment' in episode 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also spoilers of Danny and Lindsay being on a 'date' at a baseball game in a stadium. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing about these two spoilers is that they're still unconfirmed, which means until the episodes air or Ausiello confirms anything more, we won't know if they'll even actually happen or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ask me, I'm guessing TPTB will pull the same old tactic they did for episode 6. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snip snip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whaddaya know, my interest in the show is piqued once more!</content>

    <content type="html">I love &lt;b&gt;Youtube&lt;/b&gt; for it being the top place to go for clips of so many TV shows and movies. I wanna know something about some series or film I have yet to watch, &lt;i&gt;boom&lt;/i&gt;, Youtube I go. I am always amazed at what can be found there (like the gay samurai film, &lt;b&gt;Gohatto&lt;/b&gt; in its entirety!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, there are fanvids on Youtube. And naturally, you get teh shipper wank too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oobT01j8fBU"&gt;Here's&lt;/a&gt; one &lt;b&gt;Danny/Flack&lt;/b&gt; fanvid with some wankiness in its comments. If ya don't wanna download the video to read the comments, here's the copypasted wankiness:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;angelinamz&lt;/b&gt; (8 months ago) &lt;b&gt;+1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love at the end where you have the clip of danny looking back at flack cause he may be with lindsay but we all know he really wants flack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;GorgeousAyuMe&lt;/b&gt; (6 months ago) &lt;br /&gt;errr.. probably he wanted to says thanks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;emilia20004&lt;/b&gt; (3 months ago) &lt;br /&gt;are u..crazy?or just high? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heh. Who wants to bet the two replies were made by fanbrats belonging to a certain group, hm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one that made me laugh though, was this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;deathandlife667&lt;/b&gt; (1 week ago) &lt;b&gt;-1&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They are *so* a couple.&lt;br /&gt;Don/Danny love! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any guesses as to who'll give a comment like that a negative point? :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's just one fanvid. I bet I'll find even more wankiness in D/F fanvids that have more views. It's hilarious to me even &lt;i&gt;Youtube comments&lt;/i&gt; are threatening to them &lt;small&gt;(gosh, do I even have to bother specifying who 'them' are anymore?)&lt;/small&gt;. I also bet if things were turned the other way around and &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; fanvids got negative comments, you'll be seeing them wanking about being OMG PERSECUTED AND HATED AND ATTACKED!111! The hypocrisy is disgusting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anyone comes across more Youtube shipper wank, please to be letting me know.</content>

    <content type="html">For those who are sentimental or cry easily, this is one story you may want to read only when you feel like having a good, long cry. I am dead serious when I say there’s loads of angst. There is also something else that I’ve refrained from listing out in the content warning, mainly because it’ll spoil the story big time. I hope you’ll understand. Thank you for reading, and for your reviews! I always appreciate them. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, if you happen to have the soundtrack for the movie, &lt;b&gt;The Fountain&lt;/b&gt;, you may like to listen to the song, &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=j2ZxpllKC9Y"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Together We Will Live Forever&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It was my ambience music while writing this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fandom: CSI:NY&lt;br /&gt;Author: Kimmychu&lt;br /&gt;Rating: FRT &lt;br /&gt;Pairing: Danny/Flack &lt;br /&gt;Content Warning: Loads and loads of angst. This story is a definite tear-jerker.  &lt;br /&gt;Spoilers: All the major episodes up to episode 4x13.&lt;br /&gt;Summary: People say that love conquers all things … but can it conquer death? A Danny/Flack love story.&lt;br /&gt;Disclaimer: *sniffle* Danny and Flack will always have each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steel railing is ice cold to the touch of his hands. The snow that falls from the midnight sky melts upon his hot cheeks. The snow on the pavement crunches beneath his boots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From his viewpoint on the George Washington bridge, the churning waters of the Hudson river far below him is akin to a sentient canvas of black paint rolling downwards in oozing swells. Dark, secretive, silent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inviting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s certain the river is speaking to him, murmuring to him of its comforting haven, of a place within it where he’ll be far, far away from the agony and regret and grief that has consumed him piece by bleeding piece. He’s certain it’s a good place. A place of peace and contentment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s certain Flack will be there, waiting for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His fingers clench around curved steel as he thinks about the others. He thinks of Mac, who will most likely have read his letter by now and is frantically calling Stella and the rest of the team to search for him. He thinks of Stella, who has been the older sister he never had, who will probably cry the most when his body is retrieved sooner or later. He thinks of Hawkes, and he visualizes the medical examiner turned CSI staring at his corpse on the autopsy table with glistening, despairing eyes. And he thinks of Lindsay, and only sees her turning around and walking away, unable to accept the truth that plummeted from his lips months ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks of Flack, and he shuts searing eyes, feeling renewed heat tricking down his wan face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks of Flack, and he raises his right leg over the railing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there is nothing between him and that good place where Flack is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are dark circles around Flack’s beautiful blue eyes. Danny hates those circles. They mock him and mar Flack’s gorgeous, handsome, magnificent visage. They don’t belong there. They have no right to be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, they’re there, branding themselves upon Flack’s pallid skin, reminding Danny every time he gazes at the face of the man he loves that time is running out. Time is running out and he and Flack still have so much to do, so much to see, so much to experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is running out, and all Danny can do is sit at Flack’s bedside in a bleak, colorless hospital room, clutching and stroking Flack’s hand, caressing Flack’s sunken cheek. Trying so hard to smile. Trying so hard to deny cruel reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m sorry I couldn’t go … with you,” Flack is whispering slowly, his once dark pink lips now a pale shadow of their former selves, “Sorry we … didn’t get to choose … them together.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s eyes are burning again, but he tries his damnest to smile anyway. He’s become skilled at it. He can fool anyone now, anyone except the emaciated man lying under two blankets on the bed next to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s okay,” Danny says in what he fervently hopes isn’t a broken voice. “It’s okay, I picked out two I know you’ll love. You always had a thing for Celtic designs, I know. They’ll look great on us, you’ll see, they’ll look great.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s tender smile rips at his heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something in Flack’s half-closed eyes and he doesn’t want to see it, he doesn’t dare to see it because he knows what it means and he’s not ready to let go yet, he’s &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s lips move soundlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny watches those beautiful blue eyes flutter close.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack is quiet and unmoving. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Don?&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s face is already crumpling as the doctors and nurses wrestle him away from the bedside, and he’s already screaming inside as they hammer on Flack’s frozen chest and breathe into airless lungs and electrocute a soulless body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack isn’t there anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Danny’s not ready to let go. He’s not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny always feels safe within the refuge of Flack’s arms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They’re lounging on the couch in the living room, him lying between Flack’s spread legs, watching some random film since the baseball game they’d intended to watch is postponed to a later date. He doesn’t know what the title of the movie is. He’s assuming it has to be some chick flick from the scene showing on screen. A man and a woman are getting married. The bride’s in a simple albeit striking white wedding gown, while the groom is in an equally simple and striking black tuxedo and bow tie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They’re smiling at each other, holding each other’s hands as if they never wish to let go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s holding his hands the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’ll look nice in a weddin’ gown,” Flack says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danny’s lower jaw sags in mock indignation. Truth be told, his knee-jerk reaction had been to grin and laugh but there’s no way he’s going to let Flack know he actually envisioned himself in such a dress. Even if it was just for a millisecond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A &lt;i&gt;weddin’ gown?&lt;/i&gt;” Danny twists around in Flack’s embrace onto his tummy and smacks Flack on the chest, giving the snickering man a mock glower. “If anyone’s gonna be wearin’ a weddin’ gown, it’ll be &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;, pretty boy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s snicker escalates into an amused laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, out of nowhere, Flack says, “C’mon, let’s get married. Let’s fly to Canada and get ourselves registered as civil partners or somethin’.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flack’s offer stuns Danny to the core.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Married?” Danny replies and sniggers before he’s able to stop himself. “You’re so crazy sometimes, ya know that?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He swiftly regrets it when he sees the disappointment in Flack’s eyes. It’s well-concealed but Danny detects it, nonetheless. He runs his fingers down the side of Flack’s mien in tacit apology. Flack smiles in acknowledgement. It is a sad smile, and it haunts Danny’s thoughts throughout the rest of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s not watching the film, not even when a round of applause erupts from the television speakers. He’s staring at his left hand entwined with Flack’s on his thigh. He’s staring at the emptiness ar
