Hawaii Five-O Shifter Verse


Steve McGarrett has always seen what he can do as both a curse and a blessing. Although there are things he can do as a tiger, that he can’t as a human, he also has to hide who and what he is from most people. He escaped into the Navy as a young man in the hopes that he could not only find himself, but also his hoa hana. Little did he know that returning home would allow him to find everything he had ever wanted in the form of a loud-mouthed, by the book police detective from the mainland.

The following does contain spoilers for the stories…please read with that in mind.

Main Characters

Steve McGarrett:
Task force leader of Hawaii Five-O, born and raised on Oahu, last in a long line of shifters. Steve’s alternate form is a South China tiger. Driven away by his father because of territorial instincts, Steve returned home after his father’s death to avenge it and rethink his priorities. Steve is not actually a police officer (or detective) despite being the leader of the task force, instead he holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander, Reserved for the US Navy. He is a former member of Naval Intelligence and a trained Navy SEAL. In his mid-thirties now, he has yet to find his hoa hana, a fact that makes him feel he is broken in some way. In many ways, his lack of social skills are his way of acting out against this.



Danny Williams:
A former member of the New Jersey police, Danny is a transplanted mainlander. He is extremely vocal in his dislike of just about everything Hawaiian, which would make one wonder why he moved to the Islands, until one meets his daughter. Simply observing the two of them together is enough to see that the little girl is his life. And something anyone who gets involved with him is quick to understand. Steve was most assuredly not what he was looking for.

Chin Ho Kelly:
Policing is a family business for Chin as is being an Alaka’i for families like the McGarretts. He’s known Steve all his life, even if the younger man doesn’t always remember it. Accused of taking bribes, he was moved to the rubber gun squad and assigned to Pearl Harbor until Steve returned home and made him part of the task force. Maybe someday the team will clear his name.

Kono Kalakaua:
The rookie of the team and Chin’s younger cousin, Kono is still finding her way as both a police officer and an Alaka’i. She’s willing to learn from all of the men, but is also putting herself forward and giving them her ideas which the guys give credence to when they’re good ideas. A former champion surfer, Kono brings a unique blend of woman and badass to the team that they’ve found helpful in some situations.

**At this point in time (March 17, 2013), this series is going on semi-permanent hiatus. I don't know when or if I will finish this, but I have no motivation to finish the last few stories so I am not even going to try. If I can't give my all to the stories, I don't want to do a half-assed job. Sorry to everyone who's enjoyed them and I'm glad you liked what I did so far.

I have moved the entire series over to AO3 in addition to having it here so you can download it if you'd like.And you can find the entire series, including the Master Post here
