nestra and shrift
Author Website: Nestra's Pantheon and shrift's fan fiction
Why this must be read: This is almost always the first Sports Night story I recommend to anyone I'm trying to pimp into the fandom. Shrift and Nestra are very talented individuals, which should automatically tell you something about a story created through their combined efforts.
Some two years after it was originally posted, I still think of "Last Minute Trade" as one of the hottest SN fics I've ever read; honestly, it's among the hottest fics I've read in any fandom. I was reduced to a puddle the first time I read it, and it gets to me on every repeat reading, too.
Although it doesn't exactly have a complicated -- or, um, any -- plot, there are a number of wickedly funny moments. Some of them are inside jokes, so you might want to check out the TKTV summaries or the Television without Pity recaps of episodes like "Small Town" and "Dear Louise" (which is a nice introductory episode) beforehand. But even if you don't do that, I think you'll still find yourself laughing out loud at several scenes and the classically Sorkinesque dialogue. Also, all of the major characters from the series make at least a brief appearance, and they all come across very clearly.
That aside, though, I'm willing to bet that you'll enjoy the story because it is undeniably, scorchingly hot. It emphasizes in how many different ways Dan and Casey are perfectly suited for each other as partners, not the least of which is their physical spark. "Last Minute Trade," like Dan and Casey, is sexy, fun, sweet, and practically perfect in every way. Read it, and see what I mean.
