...you're making me crave a long Dan/Natalie post-series fic now. I hope you're happy!
I'd be a lot happier if there was some nice long Dan/Natalie fic to recommend! The best I got is helsinkibabySports Night fic, which are just as series of one-shots. (There's also this fic that she posted on her LJ.)
I'm sure Aaron Sorkin would be enormously disgruntled to find how fandom influenced my view of his show!
I don't know about that. I think he likes messing with slash!fans a little. Why else for Studio 60, would they release teasers picks of Matt and Danny rolling around on the beach? :-P
They always seem to me like the kind of couple that are destined to...be apart. Like their story is about the attempt to be together, rather than actually being together.
Good call! That is exactly what's going on! And it's very Wheadon-esque. He (like Sorkin, actually) isn't someone who really believes in happily ever after... or even "happily ever after 'cause we work at it".
