Inconvenient by Suki (PG-13)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Andi/Ainsley, Toby/Sam
Author on LJ: don't know
Author Website:Ashes of Old Lovers
Why this must be read:
This fic has Toby and Andi's marriage as a marriage of convience, but despite this still manages to show deep and genuine affection between them, it has Toby almost giving himself whiplash trying to keep tabs on Sam at at party and Andi making a pass at Ainsley to amuse herself and annoy Toby. Despite how easily a fic with this premise could have gone out of character, Suki manages to keep all the character voices true to the show.
Andi looks back at Ainsley, leaning over to place her empty plate on
the table and swinging her hair out of her eyes, and quickly decides
on a course of action. "You would prefer I took your best friend CJ
home with me, or maybe Ginger, your trusty, but off-limits,
assistant?" She asks teasingly but with no smile.
"Andrea," he growls in warning.
"Exactly, so, I think I have been more than considerate of any
possible discomfort you may feel at the thought of my having--"
"--Andi, can't you at least restrain yourself from hitting on White
House staff?"
"Toby, I am hurt. Seriously, I would never do anything to make you
feel uncomfortable in the least," she says, smiling softly and
smoothing down his lapel with her fingers. She drains her wine and
places the empty glass on a passing tray before grabbing two glasses
of champagne. "I'll let Sam know you want him," she says with a wink
and a smile as she walks purposely across the ballroom toward
Ainsley, knowing Toby is rooted to the floor behind her watching her
move, scowling and freaked, fearing she may actually say something to
Sam.
