I'm looking for a high-school AU. It will transition into "modern day" at some point, but I haven't seen it get that far yet. It's a fairly recent story and I believe it's still a work-in-progress.
Danno gets into some trouble back in Jersey, so he's sent to live with a family in Hawaii as part of a program to help kids get straightened out by getting away from the things that influenced them into crime. Most of the kids aren't nice to Danno, but Steve is. Steve's good at football - in fact Danno can't believe they're letting him start. He thinks Steve is lying until he sees the game.
On the way to get food from Burger King, he gets beat up and his money's taken from him. That's about all I remember. If anyone remembers this or more details that might trigger where I read this, I'd be grateful.
