Landlocked Blues by missdeviant (PG-13)

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Casey McCall/Dan Rydell
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] missdeviant
Author Website: None known

Why this must be read: The last rec I made on here was for a fic by [livejournal.com profile] torchthisnow. This fic is a companion piece to another of hers, Time Grabs You By The Wrist. That fic is from Dan Rydell's point of view: three times Casey McCall was the best friend anybody could have. This one tells Casey's side of the story. Through his eyes we see Dan as an almost unpleasantly cocky young intern, gradually learning what lies behind the brash façade; we get a glimpse of Casey's own life, his unhappy marriage, and how his friendship with Dan contributes to that; there's a brief, flurried bout of drunk, impossible, heartbreaking sex; and there's enduring friendship, seamed through with a rich vein of love.

On Christmas Eve, Casey learned about Sam and the accident. He listened to the words spill out of Danny's lips. As the thin sounds of Christmas carols floated over the porch, he wished that he could wrap his hands around Danny's heart, to mend what was broken.
