Personally, I don't think I want anybody flirting with anybody else at this point. The writers were able to have Danny and Maka flirting and not shove it down our throats, but when Danny and Lindsay flirt it gets to be too much. So I don't think the main characters need to flirt with each other because the writers can't seem to control themselves. I support everybody's right to like whatever ship they like, but I just don't want to see it on the show. Fanfic is fun and there are a lot of excellent writers who give you a lot more than even the show's writers would.
So personally, I'd like the show to stick with the science and the non-romantic personal relationships between the characters. That brings us back to Flack and Danny (and I'm afraid I might be the one responsible for taking us so far off-topic.
Oops).
I'm always interested to know how these two could have become friends. It's been discussed countless times before, of course, but it's just such an intriguing topic. Flack's the latest in a long line of cops, and the show gives you the impression that Danny comes from a more, er,
dubious background. So I wonder how in the world they became friends? I mean, I'm inclined to think that they didn't meet until they started working together, but I wonder if Flack had any qualms about being friends with Danny because of his family? Or maybe he was determined
not to care about that because his father might have put a lot of emphasis on who Don
should socialize with. It's an interesting topic, and one that would be nice to see if they ever had Daddy-Flack on the show. Maybe Danny would stop by to say something to Don and Daddy-Flack would give him the cold shoulder. *shivers* Ooh, me likey that idea.
A bit of awkwardness, maybe a wee argument between father and son.
(And why in the hell can't I imagine anyone other than Jason Issacs for his dad? Someone mentioned him when we were discussing Flack's father either here or in another thread and, even though Jason is too young to be Daddy-Flack, he's stuck in my head and won't get out!...maybe that's because he's kind of sexy. *blushes*)
By the way, I mentioned this story in the Danny/Flack thread over in shipper central, but since I'm sure not everyone goes in there (although I can't see why not!
), I thought I'd mention it in here too. I read a great story last night called "Field of Dreams" on LJ that was a bit of a background story for Flack. I thought it was
amazing. If anybody is into fanfic and would like to read it, PM me and I'll send along the link (it's not pornographic or anything, but it mentions certain, ah, male body parts that might not be appropriate to post on the board
). Here's the summary the author posted:
"Baseball is the stuff of magic and dreams, and Don Flack, Jr. has always loved it. It is the one thread between him and his aloof father that has never been broken, even after all else has slipped away. But every magic and all dreams fade if left untended."
ETA: By the way, I liked that fic about the train. I probably would never have come across it since I don't look for D/L stuff (and that seems to be a D/L writer
), but it was very good.
