Another 100-word BtVS / West Wing drabble.

Not posted to any archives yet, since I'm still trying to think of a title and I'm not 100% happy with the wording. All comments very gratefully received.

Spoilers for Angel 5.22:




100-Word BtVS / West Wing Crossover Drabble. BtVS post S7, West Wing season 4, slightly AU, spoilers for Angel 5.22. All characters are the property of their respective creators, and are used without any intention of infringing copyright in the original works.

Sequel to Intervention, Last Rites, Security Problem, Pulling Strings, In Other News..., Fundraiser, Group Dynamics, Pardon and Conspiracy Theory. Please note that Security Problem has been rewritten slightly since it was originally published.




Toby's known for a week, and looks ten years older. Leo thinks telling him was a mistake, some people just can't take the truth about the supernatural.

He sketches out a cover story, a tale of switched ammunition at Rosslyn and agents posing as psychotic teenagers. But it's too late for that.

For the third time today he thinks of calling Rosenberg. Maybe she can erase the bad memories, leave Toby happily ignorant.

There's a knock and Toby comes in, suddenly looking much happier. "Turn on the TV," he says, "Someone's murdered that bitch Bruckner, we've another senator to elect."

loved it!

The last sentence might flow better if split into two: "Someone's murdered that bitch Bruckner. We've got another senator to elect." Also, is the second paragraph referring to Leo sketching out the cover story, or Toby?

I like the wording a lot. And the concept. Looking forward to whatever follows...

How about "Displacement Activity" for a title?

"How Toby Got His Groove Back" ?

"Acceptance" ?

Thanks, but I think Displacement Activity works pretty well.

The sentence split is a good idea, and I'll join the first and second paragraphs to make it clear that it's Leo that's thinking.

then scroll down a bit to the drabbles, they're at the bottom before another small sequence called "more drabbles".
