Notes: Honestly, this vid is more catharsis for me than anything else. I can't help 'shipping Steve and Danny, but I really resent the show for making it impossible for me to love them guilt-free, and for making me feel so ashamed about liking the parts that I like. So I felt like I had to at least register my objections in some way, however weak the effort may be, in between all the devouring of Steve/Danny first-time fic. IDEK.

I downloaded this the other day, and was just reccing it to a friend when *facepalm* realized I hadn't told you how great it is. When I watch the show, I have to imagine that it takes place in a dystopia where the governor's word is as good as law, and there are no penalties against police or military officers for using violence and torture. It freaks me out and scares me, and then I read the fic and... nothing but fluff and curtains. And that willful turning of a blind eye in order to put pretty people together scares me just as much. So I think I am going to be reccing this vid a lot; it does a fantastic job of presenting the problematic as an unrelenting assault that can't be tidied away or ignored. Which is wonderful!

Thank you! Yeah, it's so problematic because you really can't ignore it - so much of Danny and Steve's flirting takes place while they're torturing suspects. I can't even fast forward past the torture to get to the fun stuff. It really just leaves such an unnecessarily sour note for me.

Although the last couple of episodes haven't been as bad, so I'm haoping maybe they're going to dial it back a bit now? Maybe.

Anyway, I'm very glad you liked the vid - thank you!
