Re: Flack #6 - Your Handcuffs or mine?
Yes, he is gorgeous,
jgio. :lol: If a cop that hot was asking me questions, they'd think I was guilty of something because I wouldn't be able to keep my answers straight. Of course, that might not be all bad if he frisks me and cuffs me and puts me in the back of his patrol car...:devil:
I was thinking that was the case,
keljopy, with them being the same rank. I read about it on some website or another, but I didn't know for sure.
As for Don outranking Danny, Danny is a hot head sometimes but I have a hard time imagining Danny copping an attitude if Flack has to pull rank on him. Not because Danny's a wimp, but because he has a LOT of respect for Don as a friend and fellow cop. In fandom it seems that people see Don as being enamored of Danny (staring at him all the time, etc), but I think that if you're looking at it that way (I try not to but you gals make it difficult and I mean that in a friendly way ) I think that Danny is just as crazy about Don. If you're looking at it in a non-shippy way, he just really admires him and looks up to him but he's not comfortable about showing it.
In fandom,
some people see a relationship there. I certainly don't think it's safe to assume that everyone feels that way based on a few of us here.
But I think most of us think that Danny and Don
are good friends. Maybe we've made an incorrect assumption about them being best friends at some point, since the writers have never specifically said so, but the evidence is there for good friendship at the very least. And nobody denies that, I'm sure.
Shipping is fun, but nobody implies that's the only way to discuss it.
As for Danny respecting Don, I definitely agree with you there. Don is someone that's easy to look up to, even if he's young. And in some ways Danny might view Don in the sort of older-brother role that Louie abandoned to protect him all those years ago, because Don really takes on the part of the protector when it comes to Danny. I'm not sure about the ages of the characters, there's been some speculation that Don is older, but either way he sort of has that place for Danny, I think.
I think Danny might mouth off to him at first, because that's just how Danny is (he's very defensive), but Don wouldn't take any of that from the Messer. :lol: Eventually, I could see Danny being abashed and apologizing in actions if not necessarily with words, and that would be enough for Don.
