Review:
Dan and Casey get smashingly drunk one night and sleep together. The next morning does not go well.

What can I say? I love well-written Sports Night fic, I love Danny angst, I love relationships that do not run smooth, and I really, *really* love all of the Sports Night secondary characters. By hitting all of those kinks, this fic fills me with glee. If you like Sports Night or are a fan of break-up/make-up (rinse and repeat), then this is the fic for you.

Review:
During the last two episodes of the show, when the future of the fictional Sports Night show was in the air, Casey and Dan do a phenomenal job of screwing up their relationship, repeatedly taking two steps forward and one step back.

As the title might suggest, this is a veritable angst monster. Casey and Danny are both as hard-headed as they are in canon and the emotional drama is only heightened by the ongoing anxiety about what's going to happen with their show. Still, there are moments of brightness (and I feel I should note that I have never in my life recced a story with an unhappy ending).

For those who liked the darker second season of Sports Night, this is definitely the fic for you.

The Motivator (aka Alan Giverny) comes to town, equipped with rampant cheer and an endless supply of TEAM-emblazoned office products! Will the Sports Night team survive?

I love team fics and this is quite possibly the best Sports Night team fic I've ever read. While the Alan Giverny situation does go about one and a half steps too far to be funny, watching the Sports Night people work together to get rid of Giverny is pure comedy gold, full of banter and friendship and slashiness. Best of all? Natalie, who is so awesome in this fic that I now fully believe she is capable of world domination. Hell, she'd make it look easy.

Fun, funny, and satisfying, this is a story for folks who want to spend some time with the entire Sports Night team crew.

Review:
Casey and Dan are on the outs when Dan and Natalie go to Nigeria to cover a soccer tournament. A few days later, Dan and Natalie are at ground zero when violence erupts in Nigeria's capital.

Most Sports Night fic draws its drama from internal angst or from canon events and, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of both. That said, I adore Cori's stories for the ways that they are different, especially the parts of the story set in Nigeria. Journalists gain some measure of protection from dangerous events, but they aren't invulnerable and what Dan and Natalie go through in Lagos is both authentic and gripping.

Equally good (though not quite as unique) is the New York storyline, where Casey comes to grips with the argument that drove him and Dan apart and the way that he, Dana, Jeremy, and Issac cope during the time when Dan and Natalie are missing. The Dana/Casey situation gets some much-needed resolution and Jeremy is so perfectly drawn that I could almost hear him talking.

All in all, a wonderfully different Sports Night story (and a very satisfying sequel).
