Very nice. I think you had Danny perfectly in-character throughout -- snapping at people, being crap with funerals, running to escape. And the way it was written, with the thoughts flowing freely and jumping all over the place -- I think that's Danny too. And the line about Aiden being a cop first and everything else second, that was nice. Because, yes, she had a life outside the lab and she probably had boyfriends and such, but if it came to it, she'd always give that up to do her job because it means so much to her.

One thing for everything that’s happened, they’re more like a team again, like they were before Aiden was fired, before he was accused of shooting a police officer, before Hawkes joined the ME’s office, before Claire died, before, before, before, until Danny realises he can’t *remember* before.
That was my favourite line. I can't explain why, but it was just perfect. The repetition of 'before', him being unable to remember. Maybe there was a before, when Mac smiled and there wasn't the awkwardness between him and Danny that there was for a time after the shooting. When everything was okay. But I guess it's been a long time since that, and Danny's so caught up in the crap that he can't remember being happy.

Anyway, well done. :D
