Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Casey/Dan
Author on LJ:laylee
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:

laylee is one of the great unsung talents of Sports Night fandom; for the past couple of years she's been consistently turning out fic that's as good as anything else in the genre and better than most, and yet somehow her name seldom, if ever, appears on rec sites. Which only goes to prove, if there were any doubt, that life just ain't fair. Evening the Keel was first posted on the old Yahoo Sports Night board in 2003, before laylee had an LJ; I've been nagging at her for some time to re-post it where other people can see it, and a week or so ago she did just that. This was her first long Sports Night fic, and follows Danny and Casey out of Anthony's at the end of La Forza del Destino. Danny is a Rebecca-induced wreck; Casey, in spite of his own anxieties, is there for Dan to lean on. It's sweet, without being mushy (laylee did edit out what she referred to as 'a lot of schmoop' when she re-edited it for LJ, but in my opinion it was fine to begin with), a warm, affectionate portrait of the boys in harmony, and should be required reading for every Sports Night [slash] fan.

I wouldn't say it if it weren't true, and it's well past time that someone did.

Also, icon snap!
