You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Oh! Me! waves hand in the air

I am!

I'm not the biggest Batslash lover, but seriously how can you not be even if it's just a little bit.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Please, like Toby could possibly belong with anyone else (in-show, I mean)

I don't remember any of the stuff I read, back in the day, though. Certainly not to link to.

Aimee, there are a few CJ/Toby links on the PolyRecs West Wing page. I never found as much of it as I wished.

You might also try unfitforsociety.net.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

You want Penelopody and August's Retina Burn, which I think of as THE definite CJ/Toby story.

Most of Luna's WW stuff is excellent, and quite a few of them are CJ/Toby. [link]

These are not terribly happy stories though. Some bittersweet, and many of them quite heartbreaking, if I recall.

Aimee, I have five up here: [link]

My favorite is Athaneum. Just beautiful. But Vonnie's right, the fic for this pairing was rarely especially happy. But then, Toby is not an especially happy person.

I know I read one or two more recently, but I'm sure it's in my big stupid folder of fic i liked, which is not even remotely organized, or helpful.

"You're sad, Toby. You're just too sad for me."

Just thinking of that scene makes me want to cry. Toby's my favourite character in TWW by a wide margin. I love cankankerous, principled loners.

The penultimate episode (7x21), "Institutional Memory" was like all the sad, beautiful Toby/CJ fic put to screen. God, I love that episode.
