"A splash quite unnoticed", TWW, Sam/Will, PG
It's, like, 1:30am and I should be asleep. I have to get to work early tomorrow. But I wrote fic, mostly to cheer up pocky_slash because she was having a bad morning. (And, after all, she was so kind as to write Sam/Will for me.) Fortunately, things have improved for her since this morning, I believe

(oh, man, i totally abuse that little shape.)
Oh, after this busy and bizarre day and crying all morning and not knowing where I was half the time... oh god, after all of that I really needed this and I'm so happy I was awake to see it!
"Hey, it's me," said Will, reaching for the excitement and genuine delight (dismay) that was only next door.
This is what I really can't get over about Will. As much as I want Sam to win, as much as Sam would be amazing, I can't even imagine how heart-breaking the whole ordeal would be for Will. To see this man and thing, "God, I want him to run, I want him to win" and then to fall completely in love with him and find yourself faced with a lose-lose situation? If he wins Sam, Sam loses the election. If Sam wins the election, he loses Sam. Heart-breaking. I can't even imagine it.
Will clutched the receiver tight in one hand and reached blindly for the rubber ball he'd absconded from Toby with the other. "Sam."
I love this image.

Oh man, I know. I've always been a fan of UST but I feel so bad for Will. He fell head over heels with the absolutely right person for him, who unfortunately ended up being the wrong person due to circumstances. *pets Willy*
I love this image.
In my head, decades from now, Will is frustrated with Congress and needs a way to relieve tension, and Toby couriers him some rubber balls. And Will's secretary is all "wtf I don't even wanna know" and Sam's laughing and laughing and laughing. And Will just makes sure he doesn't aim for any windows.

Is it weird to say that I love the brackets here?
And also - reaching out to touch the edge of Sam's message with his fingertips. Just paper and ink.
And this - "I want to win, Will. I want to win." An urgent whisper, a dream unvoiced till now. "Will, I didn't even know I wanted it until I tried, and now I'm so afraid of failing, I'm so afraid of disappointing you and the president and everybody else that I can hardly breathe."
Cause my love of dreaming, determined Sam knows no bounds. And Will, pushing him towards it even as his heart breaks. Okay, now I really need to write them happy. Congress!porn waits

*bounces with joy* Oh man, you should totally write this. Seriously! Sam and Will are just cute beyond belief, all admiring of each other and supportive even from across the country. I've said it before, Sam and Toby and Will make the very best kind of writers triumvirate. Speech!porn, y'know?

I'm glad those worked for you! I was worried they'd interrupt the flow too much, but I wanted to highlight Will's conflicted feelings.
And also - reaching out to touch the edge of Sam's message with his fingertips. Just paper and ink.I love how Sam basically delivers Will to Toby on a silver platter, with a six word note. "Toby. He's one of us. Sam." Just -- hee! Sorkin/Schlamme make fantastic use of notes on the show. They build tension because information is being disseminated and characters are reacting, but the audience has to wait for someone to read ( ... )

*g* Yup, I know. Really, a threesome seems fun. If only I had a plot. Or at least a theme, like the Sam/Toby/Josh did. Hmm...
They build tension because information is being disseminated and characters are reacting, but the audience has to wait for someone to read it out loud. Those little notes can be earth-shattering.
*laughs* Even S60 is trying it a little. Unless I misremember... But yes, I entirely agree.
Me too. For serious. I'm not sure who I love more, Sam for being a real candidate and somebody who could be a great congressman. Or Will, who loves this guy so much but is willing to give him up. *pets them*Well, Sam is my boy... Will has grown on me much more now, when I'm a little more removed from the whole "RL is leaving!!!" fiasco. Rewatching those bits, Will is just so lovely. And seriously, getting all sorts of places I didn't mean him to be. Yet less in Westward Look than I would like, given that Sam and him really should be able to meet up *hints* I need a decent Sam/Will plot before it's going ( ... )

Sam has really grown on me. It's weird to remember that he was my least favourite next to Mandy back when I first started watching. Now he's my #1 favourite and I love writing him! But Will is definitely a close second (well, CJ and Toby too) and such a joy to write. I love Sam best but Will is my avatar/POV character (re your discussion with Em).
Do you have any Westward Look posted? Or a summary? I'd love to take a look, and maybe I'll have ideas for how you can work in a Sam/Will plot. If you're interested :)
(Also because I love Toby/Sam and I'd love to read anything you've written, if you wanted to share...)
... and this could be it. I did mean that I should write it. But You definitely should!Hee! My greedy nature says we should both write it. Double the porn! I find it so much ( ... )

It isn't that I don't want to share. Because really, if I want anything, it's for someone to take this fic away from me and finish it tell me it's worth finishing. But it's not written chronologically, and there's some pretty important bits still missing.... Loosely the plot is that Sam loses the election, but stays in politics in California. He and Toby start a sort of relationship, which turns into an actual relationship after the leak, when all hell breaks loose. But, because this is both mine and TWW world, Sam still ends up elected. So should have plenty of opportunity to have a little chat with Will... If only I could find out where. Oh, other stuff happens, people die, other people get sick, or pregnant, and break-up, but that's how it starts.
Hee! My greedy ( ... )

I mean, clearly I"m kind of a mythology nerd (gee, you think?) and I know I've read the poem before, but I couldn't remember it and now that I've actually re-read it?

Icarus drowning
Oh. Oh. Oh. I love them so much.

It's kind of making me want to re-write my Will+Josh bonding over Will working for Russell fic to also include Sam somehow, other than as the reason Josh is seeking Will out in the first place.
