Why this must be read: I don't read a lot of sweet, longing, romantic romance and most het and slash I'll be reccing will not be it, so I thought I'd start with this fic, which is a classical fic of love lost. And found, of course. In the sequel. And then lost again. I think you get the drift. In this story, the team splits up and Sarah walks out on Chuck, and Casey carries a torch for Chuck. However, he doesn't tell him. Because he's Casey.

While being a Chuck/Casey writer myself, I still find this pairing very difficult to pull off. One of the many reasons for that is that I believe Casey would rather eat some of his own body parts than tell Chuck how he feels. [livejournal.com profile] sal_at_home managed to solve this problem very successfully. This is a Chuck who has grown ready to take action, and a Casey who's once been confuddled enough by Carina to be left tied to a bedpost. Now if Carina could do that to him, think of what he'd do when confronted with real feelings. Heh.

The ending of the second fic is wide open, as it should be in a story that is very much about future prospects and loose ends.
