Danny Castellano has gone through a lot in his life, but he's never let it affect him. He's certainly never needed help. He's fine. Isn't he? - Set after the breakup in Be Cool and diverging from there.
"Despite the aforementioned dumping, having to Heimlich a fish bone out of my date's throat, and the worst pizza ever, it hasn't been that bad a night, honestly. But did it all have to happen on Valentine's Day?" - - Addition to The First Time collection on AO3
It's a shame we never got to see that shotgun-shaped tequila bottle. An AU take on S1 episode Bunk Beds. Addition to The First Time collection on AO3.
Danny becomes surprisingly attentive to Mindy while at a medical conference in Aspen. (Which sounds like plot, but is really a vague cover for what is actually shameless smut. Enjoy!)

After the announcement of Mindy and Danny's relationship becomes old news fast, Mindy schemes to prove to the office that her wildly romantic life is to be envied. *Submission to Operation: Tonic Water*
Sure, she doesn't think they should have sex. Doesn't mean she doesn't want to. *Set at the beginning of 2x16: Indian BBW*
Mindy and Danny have been here before. What makes this time different? - Standalone companion piece to The Last Time. It is not necessary to have read that first, though. Submission to The M Project on AO3
*SPOILERS* Based on the promo photos from 2x15: 'French Me, You Idiot'. Purely speculation, but do not read if you are attempting to stay unspoiled.
How was he looking at her? Set during 2x08: You've Got Sext. Danny doesn't know what Amy thinks she saw, but wondering about it puts thoughts in his head that lead to an interesting night. Submission to The M Project Collection on AO3.
Set in some unhappy future I hope we never see (well, this part I would quiet enjoy seeing...) in which Mindy and Danny have a tumultuous history. Angst heavy. Submission to The M Project Collection on AO3.

Danny gets in over his head when Mindy helps him with a favor. Submission to The M Project Collection on AO3.
He smiles as he pours them both a shot, the muffled sound of hangers rattling and her muttering to herself familiar, like this is some strange ritual they do. And, crap, it kind of is. How many times has he been here helping her dress for another man?
