SportsNight
Naissance by bj
Casey's having a New York renaissance of his own during the holidays. Aching and wistful look at how the familiar can be magical when viewed from a different angle, and the language and imagery is lovely, and I'm not saying that just because I, like Danny, love my city.
(Ignore the annoying stylistic tic of non-capitalization in the parentheticals. I do.)
A quote:
he will open the door of his building and be halfway down the stairs before he sees. danny. standing at the curb. a sparkly green plastic top hat in his hands, a noisemaker sticking out of his coat pocket. confetti scattered across his shoulders. a lonely look, a strange and wrong look on his face. happy new year, danny, casey will say. in the stairwell, danny's mouth will taste like champagne and on the couch his skin will taste like time.

Dan is not fine. But he's working on it, with Abby, with Casey. And bj gets Dan, gets right inside him and his doubt and hurt and anger, and his desire to get better, fast.

The West Wing
José Cuervo, or How Will Bailey Stopped Worrying and Started Dating a Republican by aerye
Utterly brilliant fic that totally captures Will, Joe and the Sorkinese with a light hand and a hilarious take on the "wake up next to someone you can't remember bringing home" cliché. This is my favorite of the yuletide stories, I think. I adore it and want to have its babies. I can completely see both Will and Joe saying this dialogue.
