FIC: Hip-Deep in Pie (The Office/Sports Night, Ryan)

[bear]

Once upon a time, bear actually used her lj. Then bear went into posting hibernation for, oh, two and a half years. When she woke up, she was veeeery rusty at the whole fandom thing. And yet.

Hi Bear!!

[bear]

Hi, Circe!

...your icon scares me.

[snarkhunter]

Oh, I love this. Love it. Love it so much I'm sitting here leaving you feedback instead of getting in the shower or having breakfast, which means I may be late to work, but I don't care. Because I love this more than I love being on time to work. (Of course, I'm always late to work, so that's either a great comparison or a really bad one--I mean, I really love being on time b/c it's such a rare treat...oh! It's a really great comparison! A rare treat, like a fic by a bear!)

My favorite line? Ryan's not the suavest guy in the whole world, but he also spent three years working with Jim and Pam, so he knows epic unrequited love when he sees it. It made me lol. And almost choke on my sweet sweet life-giving nectar coffee.

I love your Ryan. He's spot-on--kind of a dick, and yet not an unredeemable dick. He's self-interested, yes, but not in an evil way. He's honest about it.

And DANNY! I miss Danny. I should borrow the DVDs from friends. HEART DANNY.

[bear]

I know! I loaned out my SN DVDs and they are tragically not home yet. And I'm reading all the SN quotes on WikiQuote and it's just annoying me that I can't pop in the DVDs and actually see the show. Woe.

Also: OMG DANNY. I forgot how much I loved him until I started writing him. He was everything that is witty and wonderful about Sorkin, without much of the annoying Sorkinness. Sports Night was so very far ahead of its time. (Though at least it didn't get the chance to suck?)

Thanks for the lovely feedback, darlin'.

[octette]

HAHHAHAHA YES.

poor ryan. dan didn't even get handsy!

[bear]

Heeeee, poor Ryan indeed.

<3

THIS FIC IS SO BRILLIANT, MY BRAIN MIGHT EXPLODE.

I LOVE the Ryan Howard tie-in and Natalie and her pants threats and the SLASHINESS and Dan Dan Dan and Ryan being awestruck and cute, sassy, can talk endlessly about sports and him being acerbic to her and both your imagined futures and Dan pontificating and I AM SO THRILLED YOU WROTE THIS I HAVE NO WORDS.

[bear]

I AM SO THRILLED YOU WROTE THIS I HAVE NO WORDS.

...all evidence to the contrary.

But yay! I'm glad you liked it. New fandoms are scary!

[agate]

Aaaaaahhhh this is completely delightful. Your Natalie voice is great and Ryan/Dan? hello I could be WAY into that, hahaha.

"Just ... do the rest of your coworkers a favor and deal with it, will you? Because trust me, they all know and they're all tired of your epic drama."

HEEE, fantastic.

(In conclusion, Dan Rydell, I miss having you on my television.)

[bear]

I'm so glad you liked it!

Word. Danny was so excellent, really.
