Yay! carolinecrane has seen Danny/Martin! Woo, a chance to pimp one of my fave rare fandoms! Yeah, it is a wee little fandom, but it does exist. There's the requisite Yahoo group, and there are a few (very few) authors writing Danny/Martin, though there isn't anyone writing long, plotty stuff yet, just little fluff pieces and vignettes. sarahchica has a few on her site (a few Nick/Greg ones, too)- it's a pity she's redone her layout again, actually, since the last one was Danny/Martin and very snazzy. Perpetual Motion has a few ficlets too, though her site hasn't kept up with her list postings, so there will be more (they're the fluffiest of fluff, though, and I don't know how you feel about that). Julian Lee has just started writing WaT- her "Secrets Vignette" done for therealjae's challenge is good, and I assume her next update will include the series she just posted to the list, three little vignettes that intersect with Perpetual Motion's "Just" series. Calysta Rose started a story (continued here, with cliffhanger) back in January, but I don't know if she ever finished it (and it's been so long since I read it, I forget what it was like. Oh well). And I have a few of lucy_fic's tagged in my fic memories- though again, I forget what they are. I suppose I should reread before posting links, but I have more enthusiasm than patience right now.
Also, keep an eye out for the repeat of "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been"- it's a good episode anyway, but it has the slashiest, sweetest scene at the end. I was all a-squee back when I first saw it and had to post the dialogue, but it was the acting that made the scene so great. You should see it (there are dialogue spoilers in that link, but no real, major plot ones- depends on your spoiler fear, I guess). "Victory for Humanity" (repeats on 7/17) has a great D/M dialogue scene too- just a little throw-away thing, but it has the same flirty, comfortable vibe that Nick and Greg have.
Hm, I wonder if I have anything else bookmarked? Off to hunt some more...

AH! Finished the fic. 4.5 pages ... What was I thinking? Right.
RE: Sam/Martin
Yes, to everything you said. I was going to say it would mess with their working relationship, but it's clear both of them know how to deal with relationships at work. But I can't imagine them having anything in common.
But considering how tense things are between them already, imagine the fireworks. Hoo boy.
Oh yes. I'd love to see it played out, either in fic or on tv. *sends hints to CBS* Man, I'd die happy if Martin/Danny was actually canon.
. Plus there are his own complicated feelings for Sam to consider, though it's always possible he and Marie could work things out (I sort of doubt they will, but it's possible). Again, it would cause all sorts of unfortunate tension, and with their jobs that could be dangerous.
Yes. There's so much emotion on this show, and I just love it. Nothing is ever simple, but not everything's hard, either. So much dynamic on the show. Honestly, I don't want Jack to work things out with Marie. Not just because I like Sam/Jack, but because brooding serious Jack is something that makes the show more interesting. He sees things differently than the rest of them, and I like that.
VFH is on next week, I believe. I can't wait to see it again. *does a little dance*
I like the possibilities for underlying tension there- nothing major maybe, just a little mutual "you don't understand what it's like and you never will" to add another facet to them.
Would it be wrong of me to scream "YES! YES!!" and jump up and down? Because, *waves hands* I so totally agree with that. I've been trying to work that into a fic, and well, I'm so easily distracted sometimes.
But I think they've (mostly) achieved a good balance between plot and personal stuff.
Yes. As I said before, this show isn't just about plot, there's so much emotion. And these characters, unlike A LOT of tv shows, have so much depth. I love that the writers seem to care about them and their relationships with the other characters. I know CSI tries, but they really don't hold a candle to WAT.
And I love it when Danny and Martin just talk about random stuff. You're right, it's not a lot, but it's enough.
We all want more, but. God. It's the little things. Like during 'Silent Partner' (Martin! Danny! Beach!) when they both finally spend time together. And, one last thing. I love (LOVE) that not only do they have chemistry written for them, but Enrique and Eric have body chemistry that a lot of TV couples don't have. I mentioned the 'moments' before. But even when they fight or disagree, they get in each other's faces. And they play off each other so well. I like to think that's is natural to slash them.

So true! And so important to the Danny/Martin vibe. They don't touch as often as some of the "big" slash pairings, like Jim/Blair or Duncan/Methos, but they're always, always attuned to each other. They lean in towards each other when they're fighting, flirting or just chatting. They don't seem to have any personal space issues, like most guys- they're always rightontop of each other. Their eyes are never far from each other.
I love my friends and I pay attention to them, but I'm never that physically conscious of them. That's behavior for lovers.
Re:
Yes. And the camera helps with that. I know that during AYNOHYEB there's a lot of Danny watching Martin, when they're around the tape at the beginning and especially at the end. There are also times when one of them is just LOOKING at the other.
I hope, hopehope, that CBS is doing this on purpose. There's just something there, something that's missing with a lot of on screen couples. And if you watch Sam and Jack, you can see their chemistry, too. It's so subtle that it makes me hope that there's something between Danny and Martin.
but I'm never that physically conscious of them. That's behavior for lovers.
Yes! Or people who are attracted to each other and aren't quite aware of it. Which works for me, up until AYNOHYEB. Which, for me, is a defining Danny/Martin episode. There are things earlier, but the chemistry in this episode (which, as we already discussed, was hinted at through most other eps) just makes me think that, perhaps, something happened or is about to happen between the two of them.
I know I've written an 'already established' post-ep to Fallout I&II, but I think that, perhaps, there might be something happened before or after those two eps.
Of course, maybe it's just wishful thinking.
