Oranges and Cigarettes by Candle Beck (PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: None

Author Website: None that I'm aware of - archived at fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:
Dan Rydell was revealed to us very slowly on the show, one small piece at a time. We learned that he wasn't as happy-go-lucky as he pretended to be, and that a lot of his wisecracks were covering a lot of pain. It always seemed to me like the show was cancelled when we still had so much to learn.
This fic is a lovely piece of Dan backstory. It delves into the way his family life might have been, and touches on Sam's death with a gentle style, and narrative that's just spot-on.
