remix_redux. In episode 3.8 "Women of Qumar", the viewer is left in no doubt that CJ has moderately feminist sensibilities when it comes to violence against women. The original text by andchimeras does a beautiful job of telling a story of CJ's early political engagement, contrasted against the immigration struggles of a group of Qumari women. (For those who don't know, this is a fictional West Wing state, presumably so the show could highlight the shocking human rights abuses thereof, without causing an international incident.) I kept the basic structure, and delved a little more into the idea of CJ's awakening as a feminist, which is then compromised by things within her control, and things outwith it. Fact fans may wish to know that I titled this remix after the article on Catherine Mackinnon, and not the book by Christopher Hitchins.

Fandom: West Wing
Characters: Josh/Sam, Josh & Sam, CJ, Toby
Length: ~4,800
Spoilers: Through 5.17 - The Supremes

Summary: Sam comes back to help his former White House coworkers prepare for the nomination of two new Supreme Court Justices. This brings painful reminders of a past relationship.
Warnings: Brief mention of a canon abortion. Mild violence.
Author's note: This was supposed to be a CSI / West Wing crossover, but I stripped the ever delightful Nicky Stokes out of it because Josh's willingness to talk to him about various things became increasingly incongruent with Josh's personality. Don't you hate it when they do that?
