The 5 Things Meme.
You know the drill.
Do me a favor and ask for five things. My fandoms are: Star Wars, Hornblower, RPF for Paul McGann and/or other Hornblower actors, Supernatural, West Wing, Venture Brothers, Boondock Saints and really, anything that you might desire to see done in a halfassed way. If anybody wants it, I'll even write Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and Harry Potter.
Be greedy and ask for lots. I'm in a rut these days, and writing these short little things will help me pare down my blather tendencies. :D

Five campaigns Tobey really wanted to win but didn't (pre-Bartlet).
1. There has never been a campaign that Toby hasn't wanted to win. He hears about the dial-in campaigns on TV talent shows, and he itches to organize them. CJ heard about this, and she makes fun of him for it. Mercilessly. Such that the entire staff makes fun of him about it -- the President teased him about it once during Senior Staff. In between discussing North Korea disarmament and the trade deficit.
2. In fourth grade, Toby ran his own campaign for class treasurer. It was the first and last time he's ever run as a candidate for something. He learns from his mistakes.
3. The next year, having learned from his mistakes, he ran his best firend's campaign for class treasurer. Indeed, he learned from his mistakes.
4. Maybe he should have picked better friends. Or at least ones that, nine years later, didn't want to run for borough president after losing for class treasurer every year from fifth grade through to twelth. And wouldn't faint in hot rooms.
5. He learns from his mistakes. He does.
2. (SPN) Five lessons Dean wished his mother had been around to teach him
2. How to say something true to a woman. Dean won't admit this under threat of anything less than a week of disco music and/or removal of all his fingernails, but underneath all the jokes, in between all the lies that come like breathing, he sometimes wishes he could tell a woman the truth. It's especially bad because most of the time, it's right as she goes to the bathroom after sex, and he knows that she's sleeping with him despite the fact that she knows he's lying.
It's a short moment where he wishes that he'd learned this, but it's a moment nonetheless. He's particularly aware of these moments because they're one of the few moments, since finding Sam again, that he feels alone.
3. How she didn't smother Sam in his sleep because God knows that he's annoying and must have been at birth.
4. How she made their father care for her so much.
5. In addition to family pictures, when they went back to the house, they also found some tapes that she'd listened to when working around the house. Dean really fucking wants to know how she put up with so much Sonny and Cher.
It's love, brother love
Say brother loves traveling salvation show

4. How she made their father care for her so much.
Gosh, that's so bittersweet.
3. (SW) Five times Leia wished she was the trained Jedi instead of her brother.
1. The first time she caught Han looking at another woman. Which was about firty-five minutes into their relationship.
2. When getting ready in the morning. You think it's easy to get her hair to behave with only two hands?
3. Luke takes his training very seriously, but the next time Leia sees him using it to hit on women in the mess, the universe is going to see whether Jedi can be seriously wounded with plastic eating implements. No, really.
4. The first time she caught Han in a room alone with another woman and giving her that smile she knows so well.
5. Whenever she dreams about Alderaan. Leia know that there isn't all that much she would have done if she were trained, but the dreams still come often enough that she wakes up with tears on her cheeks once every few weeks.
Five times Richard Sharpe helped Horatio out of a tight spot
1. At time number 311 that Hornblowe heard Bush's Temeraire story, he swore that at time number 312, he would order Bush to never mention the name of the damn ship again. Sharpe's presence at time number 312 and his interruption of Bush with his own Trafalgar story meant that this damaging breach never occurred between captain and first lieutenant.
2. It was boring in the Spanish prison. Hornblower would have gone mad if it hadn't been for his probate in town and, also, he fact that some of the Army men being kept in the next row shouted the most amazing insults at their jailers.
3. Arthur Wellesley was in an abominable mood the evening that he was to meet his sister's wretched new husband. A certain man from the army -- he could not be termed a gentleman -- called upon him in private, and it was noted by all that the Duke's mood was much improved.
4. Hornblower doesn't know about this one, but in Vienna, just before the Hundred Days peace: Sharpe in an alcove with a lovely woman. A bit older than he usually saw them, but this one had been quite charming and determined. Ultimately, though, Sharpe let her know, as gently as he could, that he was otherwise occuppied for the night. He did not want to offend her brother.
5. Pellew was in the habit of having parties at Exmouth. Hornblower was wretchedly uncomfortable with them, and even though he had exactly nothing, nothing, and ah, nothing, to discuss with Mr. Sharpe, they could at least stand together on the garden portico and feel out-of-sorts and uncomfortable as a group.

his sister's wretched new husband Oh, poor Horatio!
#5 is my absolute favorite - it seems like something that would have actually happened.
