Stocking for melliyna
Well, it's melliyna (who has been off having happy times and such with Criminal Minds lately but does write West Wing) and here are some thoughts.
Pairings/Characters: I like Sam/Toby, Toby/Sam/CJ, Donna/Sam, Charlie/Zoey and find Josh/Toby kind of fascinatingly interesting. I also do like CJ/Simon. As for characters? Sam is my guy, absolutely. I however adore Donna, Toby, Josh, Leo, Charlie, Ainsley, POTUS, Zoey.
Friendships: Okay, I have a competency kink and a 'families that are made not born' kink a mile wide. I love these guys and explorations of their friendship, of what makes them work. I will admit to a preference for happy but realistic view of the characters. I like well done angst in which the characters remain the characters and still care, having to make a difficult choice but with honor. Jed and Sam's father/son relationship - the happy moments, Dad!Sam (especially combined with President Seaborn), CJ and Jed and CJ's daughter. Jed's POV on the apology in Manchester (why didn't he tell Sam face to face?).
Other: I love crossovers, AU's, roads not taken. If you write me say, Hotch, Sam, Toby and Gideon in the same story I will love you forever. The BAU goes to Washington. Ten and encounters with Sam. Dystopia's, a world in which Sam was the one shot, Donna Moss: Vampire Slayer. I did mention Hotch and Sam in the same room and Toby/Gideon right? ;)
