Why this must be read: Dan and Casey are together, are in love, and it doesn't fix everything. This is a really realistic portrayal of what might happen if Dan and Casey got together, and stayed with Sports Night. Actually, it's a really realistic portrayal of relationships in general.
The next day, at the office, he says, "You don't like Matchbox Twenty?"
"Casey. Matchbox Twenty - uncool. Never trust a band with a number in their name that's spelled out."
"Matchbox Twenty - they're uncool?"
"Yes. And they suck."
"I like the music."
"Well. Seriously, Casey - Matchbox Twenty? Their music is like - it's taking only the radio friendly parts of Jane's Addiction, R.E.M. and U2 and putting 'em in a blender with a heaping helping of bland to smooth out any rough edges. They completely suck."
"Am I allowed to like Third Eye Blind?"
"No. They're the same species of crap. And Creed. Except Creed just puts Pearl Jam in the blender and strains out all the talent. All three - uncool and sucky."
Casey looks pissed. He looks pissed for the rest of the afternoon and I can't believe we're actually going to have an argument about Matchbox Twenty. One more reason to hate that talentless crap band. After the show, we end up at his apartment and he snipes away at how cooler than thou I am for a half hour. By then, I'm pissed, too, because I can't believe he'd actually be mad at me for making fun of some stupid cd he likes, after ten plus years of ridiculing his choices. Tonight he decides it's bad.
Also, the last paragraph is kickass. Sometimes I just go back and reread that paragraph and let it wash over me.
Read it, love it, send feedback.

And thank you so MUCH for the rec! I wrote stories before that one, but I still count in my head as my first 'real' story.

I adore that story. I didn't want to say too much about why in the rec, and ruin it for the reader, but really, it had a huge impact on me. Love it.

Anyway, as much as I love your popslash, I may not say it all the time, ;-) I know I'll love your Sports Night.

I keep telling myself that one day I'll finish my popslash bunnies.
