The Same Day, Every Year, by Penelopody (PG-ish)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: CJ/Toby
Author on LJ:
pene
Author's website: unknown
Why this must be read:
This is CJ and Toby, post-admin, and it's really all about the tenses. Perfectly structured for a sense of looking into the future, and liking (or not) what you see.
If you need convincing, check out this
She'll fumble under her pillows and find the phone wrapped in her sheets. After blinking halfheartedly at the buttons, she'll find the right one and mumble something that made sense in sleep. Then she'll open her eyes to the dark. "Every year, every fucking year."
"Well, Merry Christmas to you too. Late night?" he'll ask.
"You could say that."
"Do you want me to say I'm sorry I woke you?"
She'll likely chuckle. "I knew you'd call, I slept with the phone."
