SN Fic: Like Sailing and Home Runs
Title: Like Sailing and Home Runs (Therapy WIP)
Fandom: Sports Night
Pairing: Dan/Casey
Rating: NC-17
Summary: "Let's see." Dan ran a hand through his hair. "One guy freaks about his father dying, seduces his -- let's not forget, straight -- best friend, and then freaks out during sex. It's not exactly the plot to The Best Romance Novel of All Time."
Notes: I'm so tempted to subtitle this fic: "What happens in Connecticut, stays in Connecticut." Big thanks to
phoebesmum for betaing and
docmichelle for the American-check. Thanks to
scrunchy for not laughing at my questions and
celli for patiently holding my hand.
I'm cheating slightly on this by posting it before I've gotten the final okay regarding Americanisms, but I'm going to be busy for the next two days and I'd really like this up and posted. If there's any errors, I can correct it on the html file and upload the new one before anyone notices.

Hee!
I *love* Danny's confrontation with father, the great relief that was, and still the tension between them, how things can't be solved.
That was one of my favourite things about writing this story: the amount of things that can be fixed and the amount that can't. The way that things can be resolved, people can come to an understanding over a topic, but it doesn't necessarily *fix* anyone or anything. The way that the things that make you feel better about yourself frequently have nothing to do with other people -- mostly, it comes down to how *you* feel about a given topic -- because having someone else forgive you doesn't make it all better, you need to forgive yourself.
And I swear, that as I was writing it, I didn't realise how strongly I believed in some of the themes in there. Now that it's done, I'm surprised at how much of it feels true to me.
Plus, world domination through zippers!
It could happen. That's why I try to stick to buttons and velcro. *g*
