Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a Hawaii Five-0 McDanno fic by JoeLawson. Often praised for its worldbuilding and characterization, the fic is an AU that features Danny "Danno" Williams as a cold-water mer who moves to Hawai'i and is requisitioned to work in the 5-0 by Steve McGarrett, eventually mating with him. As testament to the fic's popularity, fans who would not normally read a fic with this premise have read and enjoyed Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea after other fans told them to take a chance on it.

It won the 2012 Hawaii Five-0 Ohana Favorite Awards in the categories "Favorite Steve/Danny - Genre: First Time" and "Favorite Steve/Danny - Genre: Alternate Universe."
