Summary: Home is the place that, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. And families are the people who live there – in all their infinite varieties.
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.
