Diversionary Tactics by Shrift (PG)

Pairing: dan/casey

Why this must be read:

This story has it all. It’s set near the end of season two as Dan and Casey are attempting to rebuild their friendship. It has angst, tension, romance, and the wit & conversations that make Sports Night what it is. Most of the conversations seem trivial at times, but it provides little insights into how each characters acts and thinks.

Yes, there is Dan/Casey romance at a point, but what I love most about this story is the emphasis on their friendship and how, fighting or not, they are there for each other.



Casey picked up the phone and answered it before he even registered that it was ringing. "Hello?"

"My plane smells like feet."

"'Hello, Casey,'" he said pointedly, sitting back in his chair. "'How are you? Why, I'm fine Daniel, thanks for asking.'"

"Feet," Dan repeated.

Casey rolled his eyes. "It must be very traumatic for you."

"You remember last July when it rained like crazy and then got insanely hot, and then the air-conditioning broke? When Elliot left his shoes to mold in the control room overnight? You remember that? This smell is worse."

"The shock and horror." Casey typed a sentence, stared at it blankly, and then deleted it. "And I suppose the person sitting in front of you looks like the Unabomber."

"Nope," Dan said. "Juan Peron. His doppelganger, I swear to God."
