I watched WW last night.
The 47th Congressional? (It was the 47th
something, I'm sure.) Lots of fun seeing Sam, and as much as I hate to say this, he could do with a shorter haircut. *g*
I think that I'll keep watching WW, even without Sam, but I think my Sam focus is shifting to Will
"Sam's Future Boyfriend" Bailey.
To explain this my current conviction that Sam and Will are meant to eventually be, it's probably best if you read
A Strange Spot in the Sky by Luna (who also wrote the Sam/Josh
Circadian Rhythms,
New Jelly Belly Recipes and
Serves Two, which are three of my favourite Sam/Josh fics. Yeah, I have a long list of favourites, but these three are very good. *g*)
I'm a Josh/Sam girl. I have been since I started watching WW in S3. Since seeing S1 and S2, I've been happily ignoring the future and wallowing in the strong J/S vibes. I've always been more of a Sam gal than a Josh gal, but I've always had that deep-down belief that they should be together.
Now, I've read one really good fic, and it
changed me. Suddenly my mental convictions have shifted from "Sam/Josh always" to "Josh as the old boyfriend, Will as the future boyfriend". It's quite a change and it's all caused by this fic that is wonderfully in character, ridiculously sweet and filled with such hopeful promise.
There are lines that are perfectly Sam, or perfectly Will; there's a great physical sense of the scene as well as terrific dialogue. I love the descriptions, I love the style and I love the idea. I love this Sam, and this Will, and I love the feel of it.
( Here's an example of it... )It's so good, and it's so right, and it
should happen. Go read it, and then sigh happily and resign yourself to following a new pairing.

And, then, once you've got over the romantic vibe, come and read
Once More, With Contrivance. Seriously, if you've seen the Buffy musical (or can sing most of the tunes... *cough*), this is a great laugh. Basically, it's what would happen if the West Wing cast did their own version of the Buffy musical.
Reading through it, I found myself alternating between singing the lyrics out loud and laughing.
