I really liked that. It's interesting to explore some of the things that the Intersect could be doing to Chuck. Also nice to see a different side of Casey.

Very nice look into the relationship between asset and handler that we usually don't see here. Chuck's drunken ramblings had bits and pieces of brilliance, and Casey had a real human aspect. Well done.

Wow, I really want to thank you for writing this. After being pretty much bombarded with Chuck/Casey romance or M-slash, it's nice to see someone writing Chuck just simply bonding with his Handler. I think deep down you captured that side of Casey that we know we will see on the show...one day :)

Good job!

Cool story! Would be really interested to read a next chapter.

You nailed it!

I was at work when I read your story, and I was laughing so hard people thought I had gone insane.

Thank you for the comedy break.

HAHA nice one! I like this other nice side of Casey :)

Oh, wow, that last line was PERFECT. Absolutely perfect.

While I was reading this, I kept having this odd imagination-thinga-ma-whatsit where, as I was reading it, I was feeling like what if the plot of the story was actually that Ellie was accidentally listening in on the conversation between Chuck and Casey. What would she think?

I found myself actually unsurprised that Casey has seen Star Wars. I mean, he's an American male, right? There's no reason he wouldn't have seen it as a teenager. And fighter-protect-my-country Casey would have loved Luke's "moral quest" to save the universe using shiny weapons. I can totally picture that.

Oh, and I Iove the level of detail and original, creative lines in this one. Like the CT scan showing up with a "Classified" stamp? Priceless.

Wonderful story! I really can't decide which part I liked more. I always enjoy a bit of angst. I'm always looking for it with Chuck. Chuck is such a good character and a lot of Fanfic writers don't do him justice. They tend to blow up his babbling/nice guy/slightly nervous personality without giving him depth.

I really enjoyed your narrative! It was engaging, smart, and entertaining. The side effects to the intersect was interesting and logical. (thank God! You wouldn't believe some of the crap illnesses I've read)I love all the little metaphors and references littered accross your story. Makes me smile and appreciate your well-informed-ness!

I thoroughly enjoyed your Casey! You kept true to his character but allowed some heart. We all know that Casey has got a soft spot for Chuck. He's my favorite character. Adam plays him so well.

Thanks for a fantastic read!

I think this is my faverot new one shot you should do one with chuck and sarah like this

Let me start by saying that like most people around these parts, I read a good bit of Chuck fanfic. In the course of my meanderings through the pages upon pages of Chuck stories on FF, I've read the very good, the very bad, and everything in between. I've found that no matter the quality of the writing, there's a good bit of thematic sameness to many of the stories, which I suppose is not surprising since most Chuck fans tend to like the same things about the show. That being said, it's reasonable that the stories with truly original ideas stand out in my mind.

This story fits that bill. I can't definitively say that the concept of the Intersect causing physical complications for Chuck is completely original, but I can't easily recall anything similar, and the comparison of the Intersectual buzzing in Chuck's brain to high-tension power lines was believable and well done. It was just a bit of a leap to imagine Chuck boozing it up like this, but the leap was easily made because everything that came after it was in character (the musings on Bryce and Sarah, his refusal to believe in a "nice" Casey). You did a nice job of altering your normally fluid writing style to reflect Chuck's drunken and disjointed mental state, and I think you took his binge just far enough - it's more self-pitying than self-loathing, which I think suits Chuck much better.

It was also nice to see Casey being honest with Chuck (and himself), even if he did realize that Chuck wouldn't remember much of their conversation the next day. How about a follow up in which Casey tells Sarah about all of this? How would she deal with finding out that Chuck has been suffering physically as well as mentally and emotionally? That discovery, coupled with the thought of Chuck drinking cheap gin all alone, would devastate Sarah and make her do some serious soul searching. Could be a good story!

Thanks for writing this. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm also looking forward to the next installment of "Casey vs. the Future".

No pressure, though.

This is an amazingly in character piece (especially taking into account Casey's actions in the season finale) and I love how you worked in some character development without making Chuck that suspicious the next day. It really drew me in, and I found myself checking the scroll down bar to see how much of the story was left, because I didn't want it to end. Really great job. And I love the River Tam reference. :)

That... was awesome. The idea of Chuck keeping all of this stuff bottled up inside without telling anyone but his invisible Pink Casey is really interesting. And I really liked how it changed Casey's perspective on Chuck in general, or at least added to it (hard to tell what he thought beforehand, because we was mostly listening ;-)).

I really like concerned!Casey, ranting!Chuck and the drunken babbling. I also think this could turn into an interesting larger story, if you wanted to deal with the buzzing issue. You write the Chuck/Casey interactions so wonderfully, it's hard not to want to see more of it. Especially now that Casey has an idea of what's going on inside Chuck's head (well, except in a physical/medical sense).

I liked this story a lot. We need more Chuck/Casey bonding here on FanFiction.

That was a very nice story. It was nice to see a concerned Casey and how he didn't push Chuck around. He was there for him.

Uhm i tell you, i coudn't finish this story...it was so confusing that i probably need to be drunk to actually read it. Sorry mate :(
