...which in my opinion proves that Abby is quite possibly the best therapist in all of visual fiction. I'm even willing to excuse her little ethical lapse at the beginning of her treatment of Dan, because - she's good! She gets Dan! And is nearly always mostly ethical!

Yes, yes, this! I just started reading Sports Night fic recently and while I didn't expect everyone to share my opinion of Abby, I was surprised by the all the Abby-hate I kept running into. Of course she has her flaws, but what I liked best about her is that she does seem to get Dan in a way a lot of people don't. Anyway, /end ramble.

And hooray that you've tagged all these recs, so latecomers like myself can still enjoy the goodness years later. Ah, the Dan/Casey, it is delectable.
