Aww, lovely. I love Esther looking out for Danny, I love the different ideas of family, and of course, I love woobie!yearning!Danny, and oblivious!Casey.

Lovely, as always.

Thank you! It didn't exactly set Yuletide afire, but I was reasonably happy with it - especially with the way that, after being stuck for several weeks, it then all came gushing out at once - and the recipient said thank-you nicely, which is, I suppose, all one can hope for.

Lovely. If a little scuffing to the heart there, at the end. :-(

Thank you!

Awww, boys! Lovely little character studies for the rest of them too.

Sometimes I think I know altogether too much about the home lives of the Sports Night people. On the other hand, wotthehell, it's not as if Sorkin ever plays with them any more, so I may as well have them.

And thank you!

Truthfully, I haven't sat down and watched the show for a long time, although sometimes I find a snippet on YouTube or somewhere, and when I do I'm fixated. Clearly I should make some time to sit down with the DVDs and revisit it.

Thank you very much for your comment! I hope that Danny's catching the bouquet means that he'll soon find a lovely man who will appreciate him as he deserves. And then won't Casey be jealous!!

I'm all teary eyed now. These were lovely. It's taken me forever to read anything these days, but I just wanted you to know that I had read this, and, as usual, you made me cry.

I loved Jeremy and Natalie. Hit a chord with me.

But the last one. The last one made me cry...

(oh, boys.)

Aw. Thank you! I'm so glad this worked for you. It didn't get much response, so I guess it wasn't to most people's tastes, but as long as a few people liked it, I'm glad of that.
