Notes: Written December 2009 for
Yuletide from a prompt by
aderam: ... I love all the characters on this show. But Dan is my favourite because of his hilarious lines and serious woobie moments. And I love how he's made his own family out of the people at Sports Night, especially Natalie as substitute sister and Isaac as father-figure. I'd love a story about Dan and family (both biological and chosen). If you choose to go sad please at least include some good banter and a happy ending. Bonus points if you include stuff about Hockey because it's my favourite sport. Many, many thanks to
kmousie, for beta reading and advice, and for everything else.
