Summary
“Will you marry me?” The words left Sam’s mouth in a flood, but the hard part was over, so it seemed. The silent moment following the question of the century stretched off into infinity like the world’s biggest rubber band. And, like all rubber bands, after a moment, it came snapping back.
“I’m sorry.” A beat. “I can’t.” A second beat, this one longer, and much more painful. “And I think maybe we shouldn’t be together anymore.”

Summary
“It’s Josh!” he practically shouted the first name that came to mind.
He had thought she would laugh, make fun of the mere suggestion, and possibly tell him where he could shove his excuses.
He had not expected her to fall silent and nod in acknowledgement.
“Oh,” Ainsley managed at last.
“Oh?” Sam echoed, bemused. Was that really all she had to say to that?
“Oh,” she repeated. “I mean, I never would have imagined, but I suppose it makes sense.”Or, Sam rejects Ainsley's advances by saying he's already in a relationship with Josh. Also, it's Valentine's Day.

Summary
“Sam?”
Sam exhaled, long and as slow as he physically could, before turning to face Josh again. He stood just a few feet into their room, curls lit softly by the lamp between their beds, confusion visible on his face as he stared at him, eyes gentle but questioning, patient in a way he so rarely was with anyone. Normally on nights like this, they went with CJ and Toby to a bar around the corner and played pool for a few hours, drinking just enough to feel it then but not the next morning. This wasn’t something they’d ever done, and Sam– Sam could feel anxiety clawing at his throat, because what if this was the wrong move? The wrong decision? What if Josh didn't feel the same and he ruined everything they'd built, everything that had grown between them again in the last few months?
“I love you.”

Summary
“But I want to fix this. I want– Sammy, I want to be allowed to marry you. I– This isn’t fair.”
“No,” Sam sighed and Josh could almost picture the look on his face, the sad shimmer of his eyes, the slant of his lips, the furrow of his eyebrows. He ached to reach across the space between them and smooth out the wrinkle on his forehead, run his fingers through his hair, hold him close. Instead he just rolled on his side and reached for Sam’s side of the bed, empty bar for his pillow. “No, it’s not fair. I– It’s not fair. But we’ll get there. One day, I promise you, Joshua Lyman, one day, I will be be able to marry you, and it will be beautiful, and I will never let you go.”
“You can’t promise me that, Sammy.”

Bookmarker's Notes
"I am going to start bribing Donna into bringing you lunch," Steve answers, draining the noodles under the faucet in Sam's sink.
"I am not sure if the nation is ready for the two of you to start conspiring," Sam laughs. "She is a force of nature, and you are Captain America."
Steve and Donna have been in the same room only once so far. Leo's ordered that the one time is one too many for the Bartlet Administration. Josh is under strict orders to keep them apart. "We aren't that bad."
"You'll go out to buy a candy bar and end up overthrowing the government," Sam says, and he is maybe only twenty percent joking.

Summary
NCIS Agent Tony DiNozzo unexpectedly becomes the sole guardian of his 12-year-old daughter, Rory, after the death of her mother, Lorelai Gilmore. He’s forced to balance the loss of his best friend, the pressure of leading a new NCIS team under Director Vance, and a steep learning curve in how to raise a child, all while helping Rory to navigate her own grief. Tony has kept Rory’s existence a secret for her own protection, but that all falls apart as new challenges appear, new allies emerge, and they build a new normal as a family one day at a time.
As Rory struggles to find her footing in Washington D.C., haunted by nightmares and loneliness, Tony must redefine what family, loyalty, and leadership mean. Tony seeks an unconventional solution to returning a sense of control to his daughter: female empowering self-defense lessons. What he couldn't have expected Rory to find through those lessons was a fast friendship with President Bartlet’s daughter, Zoey, which proves to be a blessing and a complication all at once.
Grounded, emotional, and full of heart, three fandoms are blended together in a story of grief, resilience, quiet romance, and the power of found family.

WIP read through ch 21
Sam opened his mouth to respond—and jumped slightly when a voice spoke from directly behind them.
“I haven’t felt this invisible since before I took the oath of office.”
Tony turned to find President Bartlet standing only a couple feet away, a bemused sparkle in his eyes and hands clasped behind his back.
“Sir,” Sam said quickly, recovering his smile, “I was just… briefing Agent DiNozzo.”
“Briefing,” Bartlet repeated, deadpan. “Is that what the kids are calling it these days?”
