Read OldShrewsburyian’s The Other Half of the World, a Casablanca fic which 1. ships Ilsa and Victor, 2. also contains cameos by Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe, 3. has lots of period detail, and 4. gives a shout-out to Carl the headwaiter, although he does not directly appear (presumably he’s now working for Signor Ferrari, while continuing to help run the Casablanca chapter of the Resistance).
On that note, here are are some photos of S. Z. Sakall and his wife, Boeszike,* being adorable.
