Full of Casey love

[out_there]

This guy who hadn't had a decent haircut since the one time I talked him into coming with me to see Jimmy, the guy whose idea of casual style began and ended with the henley shirt. A guy who'd listened to me tell him about Sam when we'd only known each other a few weeks, who let me cry and then made me laugh by correcting my syntax in mid-rant. The guy I'd watched marry a woman who hated him, a woman he had loved with a pathetic desperation I loathed at the same time that I wanted nothing more than to make him see --

What? What was it that had gone through my mind that hot, muggy day in Houston, in a church that smelled like flowers and four hundred different brands of expensive perfume? What was it I'd wanted my smitten, doomed best friend to see?

Someone who didn't see him as a stepping-stone, maybe? Someone who didn't mind when he lost control of all the frustration and anger of a childhood spent in parental purgatory? Somebody who forgave him for being forgetful, because they understood how many thousands of different ideas were careening around inside his beautiful, oblivious head? Someone who could look at him with love, and let him be able to look back without fear?

From Fifth Wheel by Emily Brunson.

On another thought, I'm going to post links to SN/WW crossover fics to pimp to Signe. Can anyone remember where the rath long Josh/Dan fic is? You know the one. Four or five parts, questionable Sam-characterisation, great Josh/Dan dynamic? I can't quite find it.

you can find it here (http://www.geocities.com/snchica/echoes.html). is it sad that in the relatively short period of time i've been obsessing over SN, i feel that i must've read every single fic out there? where is the fic dammmmmit.

i'm newly collecting SN-minded people. would you mind if i added you?

Hee! Like the icon.

Feel free to add me. I'm desperately trying to keep my FList down to a reasonable level, so please don't be offended that I won't friend back. I'm just... considering going back to study this year, and as it is, I'll probably have to crop down the current FList... *pouts*

Anyway, thanks for the link. Much appreciated.

Re: SN fic. I would heartily recommend joining both sn100 (which is a 100 drabble SN community and great for a quick SN fix) and inthetallgrass, the Sorkin writing community. Generally, I find that's the easiest way of keeping an eye on new SN and WW fic. It may not be incredibly active, but there's generally a new fic every week or so.

Also, if you're into slash (and it seems that a lot of SN fic is, just cause the boys are so hot together) you can try the yahoo group slashsn (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/slashsn/). It's not terrible active these days, but it does have some good stuff.

ahaha! into slash? maaaybe just a little. tinybit. ;D and thanks, but i'm already well on my way with the latest obsession, and i've picked those archives dry. ^_^;; i think i recognize your name from some of the more recent fics that i've just gotten to? erm, llamas? very cute. ^__^

there really needs to be better screencaps out there for icon-making, man. :\

and not offended in the least. it's enough to get a daily dosage of sn-love on my flist.

thanks for the leads. i'd already found inthetallgrass, and i just joined sn100. maybe get my foot in the door with some drabbles. :)
