Kickoff by Merry (not rated but probably PG)

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan/Casey friendship, Casey/Lisa

Why this must be read:

We never really found out how Dan and Casey met. Was while they were in college? After they graduated? Or did they meet through work in that misty time before Lone Star Sports? Popular fanon is that they met while Dan is interning at a TV station where Casey is a cadet reporter, or some such. It a plausible explanation, and one that doesn't stretch the bounds of reality too much. But maybe they met a lot earlier than we think.

In this sweet, melancholy story, a young Dan Rydell, still smarting over the death of his brother and wanting to be left alone, escapes to college in Texas. Unable to face livening in a dorm where people will expect him to be social or something, he rents a room from a tall, dorky grad student called Casey. Friendship ensures, whether Dan wants it or not, and eventually he realises that letting people in isn't as scary as he thinks it is.

Kickoff
