Why this must be read: There are certain themes that recur throughout fandom, familiar and comfortable as an old sweater. Details vary, of course, and so does execution, but you know the story: it's the one where the two cops (or the two doctors or, this being SN, the two sports anchors) have worked together for years, almost live in one another's skins, but have never quite admitted their real feelings. And then, one day – oftentimes there is beer involved; in this case, there is beer and also Natalie – they do. You know it, and you love it, and you'll gladly read it again and again, because, however familiar the theme, each telling of it takes on the writer's own personality and becomes fresh and new and different. Here,sliver takes that story, adds imagery and banter and a glimpse into the depths of Danny's heart, and turns out something simply marvellous.
The blurry contentment Dan had managed to create slowly disintegrates into something else when it’s just the two of them left, something he can’t identify in his hazy state. The bar is smoky and crowded, and they sit close enough to occasionally touch, casual brushes of knees and skin. Dan feels himself flush, not from embarrassment or from the heat of the room, but from something else entirely: want. Putting a name to the feeling is jarring, and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat, before excusing himself to go the bathroom. So much for moving on, he thinks.
