Sports Night Fic Rec: Location, Location, Location by Lanning Cook NC17

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan Rydell/Casey McCall
Author on LJ: Lanning
Author Website: Lanning Cook's Fiction

Why this must be read: First off, Lanning is one of those authors that smart readers follow from fandom to fandom. If she wrote "Test Pattern" slash, where Red was secretly in love with Green, and Yellow was jealous, I'd read it.

More specifically, she manages to get Dan and Casey's voices down pat, as well as the secondary characters. Anyone who's seen any of Sorkin's work knows how difficult that can be (which is a major reason people were concerned when he left The West Wing this season).That she does this in what is essentially a PWP, is truly amazing. Even a newcomer to Sports Night will understand more about the players when reading this fic.

This fic is about Dan and Casey, an empty television studio, and a search for some private time.

"Casey sagged against him helplessly, closing his eyes in resignation as his last shred of cool did a buck and wing and exited stage left. He returned the kiss, heart pounding and shaking all over. Nobody had ever kissed him like Danny..."

That's one of my all-time favorite SN fics (and one of the first I generally rec, too). =)

That was adorable. And I've never seen the show.

(Am I easy to pimp, or what? *g* )
