Why this
must be read:
Toby Ziegler is one of the most complicated characters on
The West Wing, and from the first appearance of his ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea (Andi) Wyatt, it's clear that they still have chemistry and a very real connection. However, their relationship remains a complex and ambiguous one, through the end of the show's run. This fic does a fabulous job of illuminating their individual characters and the choices each of them has made, as well as their relationship with their children and their much more tenuous relationship with each other, all through the lens of a seemingly simple holiday celebration. This author also has a wonderful grasp on the characters of Huck and Molly--s/he has a gift for capturing the way young children perceive the world, what they love and what they fear. Also, the command of tone and language is beautifully evident throughout this fic--I could quote almost any line, I think:
