Ficlet:: Sparks Fly Upward [Parks and Rec/The West Wing]

No meme question today; I hit a horrible wall yesterday evening. The week went pretty well, and work is good (more on how good when I do another meme question I think) and there are many good things going on for me right now! But by yesterday I'd been out of the house for thirteen hours three days in a row, and ( cut for talk of food and calories )

and I had a thousand things to do today and ended up having an anxiety mental blue screen at the Mill Road Christmas fair, what with the crowds and the noise. More than once. Well done, self. But oddly it hasn't been a bad day. Beautiful blue sky, and I'm excited about my job, and grateful for many things in my life. (It's weird, when your bad mental health is just that: just chemical, just sleep and food and other boring stuff. Weird-good, actually. Good.)

Anyway. So, today's post comes about as a reminder to self that yes, yes, very busy, long commutes etc, but I still write, I still can write, writing is fun, etc. This is just a snippet, a gift for highfantastical! It's based on a conversation we had ages ago about a wonderful cracky Parks 'n' Rec/The West Wing crossover idea: what if Ben Wyatt and Andrea Wyatt were brother and sister?

I mean. Seriously. Anyway, short, not-great, writing-exercise, never apologise, never surrender, etc, etc.

1000w, Parks and Recreation/The West Wing, gen. "This," Ben says, smirking, "was special" – and god, she'd forgotten how annoying he can be.

In which Ben and Andi Wyatt are brother and sister, and have other things in common, besides.

( she doesn't know he's there )
