Title: The Break-Even Point

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Summary: Turk knows that reality is mostly perception, and the fact is he doesn't know how to separate Danny Williams from Turk Malloy anymore. The lines are blurred and the guise is deeper than the reality. He's not one or the other, but he's a little of both.

 

 

A/N: This is really not my fault. This plot bunny was given to me by [livejournal.com profile] moogsthewriter  who somehow managed to coerce me into writing this. The entire concept bridges Scott Caan's character in the Ocean's Eleven franchise with Danny Williams. Therefore, this starts with Turk Malloy and shows his transition into the Danny Williams we know and love on H50. Basic familiarity with Oceans will probably be necessary to appreciate this fic, but you by no means have to be the fanatic that [livejournal.com profile] moogsthewriter  and I seem to be :) As for the basic timeline to get started, this fic picks up after the events of Oceans 12 and spans the time until Turk/Danny leaves for Hawaii (which means that yes, the events of Ocean 13 are covered in this fic). Because of this, there are a variety of characters from the Oceans franchise that make appearances and Rachel and Grace show up along with some OCs, but none of the other H50 team is in this.

A/N 2: In addition to inspiring this, [livejournal.com profile] moogsthewriter  lent a lot of creative stimulus throughout the plot development. There is a lot of her in this and anything remotely good is because of her :) Beta was provided by [livejournal.com profile] geminigrl11  (and moogs gave it another quick once over because she wins!). Any additional mistakes and oversights are mine.

A/N 3: This is one of those fics that is long enough to be a chapter fic, but really reads better as a single piece, so I'm posting all parts simultaneously.

A/N 4:  In her awesomeness, [livejournal.com profile] moogsthewriter  made a fantastic fanmix to check out.  It is also linked below.

A/N 5:  There is an awesome follow up fic to this called Tell the Truth (but tell it slant) by [livejournal.com profile] moogsthewriter , and we do have plans to continue on in this verse :)

Oh my lord, this is fantastic. You've created such a rich and detailed and awesome backstory/fusion, here. I got sucked in so fast and I kept reading faster and faster because I just wanted *more.*

Amazing and wonderful and I am secretly hoping you write a sequel someday where Danny/Turk meets Steve. ;-)

Homework is so overrated! But this fic will still be here when you get the chance :) Your enthusiasm alone makes me smile.

Once I started writing, the two universes just blended so naturally--so I'm glad it reads so well :) It was a blast to write.

And moogs already posted a small sequel and we've got more in the works...

Thanks!

How the heck you managed to make this work I will never know, because it really shouldn't. But it does, OMG it does. It's like you took awesome and more awesome and just made awesomesauce. Yes, I realise that makes no sense, but seriously, this is WAY good!

I'm not sure how it works, but when I started writing, it really seemed to come together without much effort. And I think you make perfect sense, which may something about me :)

Thanks!

Well that's good, cause it makes sense too me aswell but I wouldn't be suprised if it didn't for anyone else, lol

Duuuuuuuuude! I somehow came across this and the sequel on ff.net. Loved them both :-D

This universe just makes my DAY everytime I even think about. It's so incredibly perfect, and just *flail hands everywhere*

That's good to know :) We had a great time developing it and putting it into story format :)

Thanks!

Jesus.

I just read this story (and the follow up) and honestly, I GOBBLED DOWN EVERY SINGLE WORD.

This was so much fun to read. I was into it from start to finish, and seeing that you have plans to continue makes me =D like nobody's business.

Really. Amazing job here. Thanks for taking me on such a fun ride.

Some pieces just feel like they need to be written, and this was one of those pieces :) I'm glad it kept your interest. Thanks!

I am currently rewatching all three "Ocean's" movies in preparation of reading this fic ;) I'm on the third and it has turned out to be a pretty awesome, crime-filled night. I also never saw the third one so that hideous mistake has been rectified, I forgot how much I LOVE these movies :) I'll comment on the fic when I finish it

These movies are made of win :) I hope the fic doesn't disappoint! Thanks :)

I loved it, it was a completely believable transition from Turk Malloy to Danny Williams! I loved the sequel as well, and I'm definitely looking forward to more fics in this 'verse, hopefully with the 5-0 team as well. Wonderful job :)

I'm so glad I took the time to search out Danny/Kono fic...and some how stumbled on this gem. 2 of my favorite fandoms in one!

I'm glad you found it and liked it :) It was a crossover that I really found I had to write. Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know just how much I love this fic. I'm a crossover whore and the best crossovers are the ones that make you look at the source material (both universes) in a whole new way. This fic did just that.

I saw the episode with the four triathlon thieves again recently? In my head, all I heard was your Turk!Danny snarking about how it was a great set up, but really, the killing wasn't necessary and Christ almighty this is what you get when you let four greasemen/women plan a whole heist. Yen could do do it ten times better and he doesn't even speak English, or have a green card.

I've almost written it a few times lol.

But anyway, I <3 this universe and am very much looking forward to any sequels etc that come from this universe. You two? Are awesome.

A slightly unbelievable crossover, and you made it make sense. Love it! (And maybe leaning towards personal canon til we find out more about Danny!)

From: [identity profile] faye-dartmouth.livejournal.com
LOL, I'm so glad it resonated with you so much. I'm not usually prone to crossovers but once I got started with this one, it really seemed to write itself :)

And we do hope to continue...life just needs to be more cooperative for our muses to find the time for it!

Thanks :)

From: [identity profile] faye-dartmouth.livejournal.com
I'm glad it still read well despite the obvious obstacles to such a crossover :)

Thanks!

I really do love this story, I've read it three times and am aiming for a fourth! It's possibly the best crossover I've read to date, certaintly the most realistic.

I really do hope you guys decide to continue with this, I'm watching the Ocean's movies right now and all I can think about is.

I want more. :)

I always loved the way these two characters came together, so I'm glad that it resonated for other as well.

We do intend to continue the series. We just need to corral our muses and get back on track. We have over 20k written and quite an ambitious plot but it's all a matter of focus. LOL, which is of course the hardest part!

Thanks!

I love this verse! It's my new headcanon for both series XD. Can't wait to see more!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! More will hopefully come sooner rather than later if I can convince my muse to meander back that way :)

Thanks!

This was AMAZING!!! Is the third story out yet? Or still in the works?

From: [identity profile] faye-dartmouth.livejournal.com
Third story is not out yet. It's sort of in the works? As in, we wrote a good portion of it and then got waylaid...
