It's a Wonderful Life by Eliza J Bailey (PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Casey/Dan
Author on LJ:
laylee
Author Website: N/A; fic is archived in her LJ memories
Why this must be read: I generally choose newer fics for these recs, but this goes back to the glory days of the second wave of SN fandom, after the DVD set had been released and the show started to air outside the USA, and when
laylee was one of a small group of writers posting new fic on a regular basis.
This story gives us Dan and Casey settled and happy in a established, loving relationship; we see Dan through Casey's eyes as they share bathroom space, go out to ball games, go clubbing (Dan dances; Casey watches), conspire to get Charlie away from Lisa for a vacation, and as a news story rocks Dan's world and turns it briefly dark. But, overall, as the title says – it's a wonderful life. And this is a wonderful, wonderful story.
laylee still turns out the occasional, always excellent, SN fic, and also finds time to maintain
snarchive; I recommend checking both out.
Casey is asked to sign as well but it's Danny who basks in the afterglow of recognition for the remainder of the day. Casey knows Danny loves the attention. He will pretend to blow it off as nothing, but really he loves it. It makes him feel needed and appreciated and loved. Casey wants to point out that he needs and appreciates and loves him but Danny knows that already. It's the rest of the world he's unsure about.
