Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered by Ryo Sen and Marguerite (R)
Hi, I'm Katie. You may remember me from such crack_van recs as last month's Blakes 7. Hopefully you'll enjoy this lot - I'm as polyfictional as they come, so there should be something for everyone...
Fandom: WEST WING
Pairing: I like to think there's a hint of Josh/Sam, but none, really.
Author on LJ: um, maybe, but if so I don't know where
Author Website: http://fanficwithfootnotes.com (Ryo) and http://4dw.net/marguerite (Marguerite)
Why this must be read:
My theme for this month's recs (go me, I have a theme!) is 'I can't believe this hasn't been recced before', and this fic is right at the top of the list. Coming from a fandom with such high quality fic, that's saying a lot.
It's an utterly silly little thing, fluff really. However, its spectacular execution and spot-on characterisation transport it to the realms of the gods. Or at least, the gods on a bored workday afternoon when they're feeling prone to the giggles, at least. This is a fic that manages to have our beloved characters acting like teenagers - and succeeds. There's a lot more to it than the sum of its parts, and every moment is a joy. There's nothing here that rings false, and frankly, I find that amazing.
Actually, it's probably a good thing it's only short and fluffy, because otherwise I would quite possibly have died of laughing by now. I'd quite seriously tell you to read it for Toby alone: it'll still be making you laugh next week, I promise.

I can't believe that hadn't been recced before, either. Goodness. Looking forward to the rest of the month.
