Review:
You know, normally when I read a short story, my very first thought is "I wish that had been longer". (Oh, who am I kidding? When I read an *epic*, my first thought is usually "I wish that had been longer"). So when I say that this story is the perfect length, you know it means something (what also means something: it took me a month to find this fic again, because I could have sworn it was about 200K longer than it actually was.)
In Game Day, Greg tries to find some common point of interest with Nick, except they really don't have one, so he fakes an interest in football. And gets invited over to watch the game. And proceeds to fall in love with Nick even more than he had been before. Nick and Greg are perfectly in character, there really is enough development (despite the brevity of the story as a whole) so that their growing relationship seems natural, and there's a running joke about money that proves to be unbelievably cute and occasionally poingant. A lovely, well-written story.
