Doing It by flaming_muse (PG)
My New Year, which was pretty good to begin with, thanks, was improved even more by an email from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van asking me to do another round of Sports Night recs this month. I think of Sports Night as The Little Fandom That Could; occasionally it experiences a wave of renaissance, oftentimes it seems on the verge of dying out altogether, but somehow it always keeps on ticking over. Long may it continue to do so. Maybe some of these recs will encourage new readers and viewers to check the show out – wouldn't that be lovely?
I'm starting with a wonderful little Natalie pov fic (just under 2,000 words), from April of last year.

Why this must be read: Natalie knows something, and she wants to tell many, many people, reads the author summary. Imagine, if you will, Natalie as a squeeful fangirl; and then imagine that that squeeful fangirl has just found out that the hot gay boys in her office have finally stopped acting like idiots, got their act together, and got it on. Then imagine how Kim (another squeeful fangirl) would react to the news. And Elliott, who's a little slow to catch on. And Jeremy ("[They're not doing it] right now? Isn't it time for the show?"), whose initial doubts are allayed by alliteration. And … Isaac. Oh, Isaac!
Well, stop imagining – unless you've gone to a really happy place, and if you have then come back when you're through – becauseflaming_muse has already done it for you, and has recorded the results for us all to see. And to reread, time and time again. There's no graphic description here, it's all allusion and inference, and yet it couldn't be hotter if the boys were making out right in front of our eyes. Or at least – not by much. Wonderful work, and I'm happy to be able to make it my first rec of the year.
