Oh, Toby.

Good drabble!!

Yep, that's our poor, crazy Toby.

Glad you liked it.

Love crazy Beecher! Wonderful drabble and I like how you used the prompt.

cmk418 November 3 2007, 07:16:51 UTC

Thanks. Crazy is my favorite brand of Beecher. This was a fun prompt to write on and this was literally the first thing that popped into my mind after reading it.

This was one of my favorite times on the show-when Toby started fighting
back I was thrilled.

You portrayed that period well. What his thought processes are, how he transforms from the frightened "prag" into the guy who tells Schillinger that he'll tell him the ending of "Mein Kampf"."The Nazis get their asses kicked"!
I liked your use of the prompt!

I had fun with this. It's weird because even in the midst of insanity my instincts were to have his first thoughts fall back into the safety of his legal knowledge, but I love crazy/vindictive Toby so much more than lawyer-mode Toby that I had to have him wind up back where he belonged. Thanks for reading!

Crazy Beecher is my favorite Beecher. You got him good at a pivotal moment.

He's mine too. And I love it when the tide starts to turn for him and Vern at the end of Season one.

BTW, your icon is freaking me out a little bit.

I switched my icon this afternoon. I don't know if you're mentioning the current one
( during the 'first man' conversation, from a Fanfromfla screencap ), or the previous one
( 'never let you go' ).
The later is one of Wh1ps_scums ( now Whipsandscums ) fabulous Keller-centric icons.
I have more at my userpics. Some of the best icons ever, IMHO.

The 'never let you go' one. That moment is one that confounds me because I can never figure out what Keller is thinking (and of course, we never get the chance to find out)
