Why this must be read:
There's tension in this story, since it's set in late season two. Danny's in therapy and having issues with Casey's new girlfriend, while Casey has issues with Dan being in therapy. Jeremy has a nice presence in this story, being his quietly understanding self and trying not to get in the middle of Dan and Casey's feud. The fights pack a punch and the funny moments are very funny, and yes, eventually, there is smut.
Shared hotel rooms, long nights, late parties. He'd had plenty of time to learn what Dan sounded like while he was asleep.
Twice, Dan had spoken his brother Sam's name while he dreamed. And once, a year before Lisa had finalized the divorce, a weekend she had gone to her mother's with their son, a weekend spent with Dan playing squash and watching the Knicks and drinking expensive beer... Dan, asleep on the couch, a beer bottle close to rolling from his hand, had said--
"Casey."
