One MidgeLenny x TSwift Fic Per Day

133. Nothing New

Lenny sits down on the couch next to her and gives her a soft kiss.

“Hi,” she says with a smile.

“Hi.” He bends, grabbing her ankles and pulling them into his lap, making her yelp and then laugh.

He tugs her shoes off, tossing them on the floor, and then he presses his thumbs into the sole of her foot. She groans happily and flops back against the pillow. “I love you,” she moans.

Lenny chuckles. “How was your day?”

“Nothing exciting,” she replies. “Ran a few errands. Met Susie at the Stage Deli. Sarah spit up on her. Then I came home and wrote some jokes.”

“Anything good?” He asks.

“Not yet, but it will be when I crack it,” she replies with a smile that he returns. “How was your meeting?”

“Kessler’s optimistic about the trial, so hopefully I’ll be back to performing in a couple months,” he replies. “Til then, the writing gigs are still good, and I have a wonderful family,” he says as he switches to her other foot.

She takes a deep breath and sighs happily. Three years ago, when they were just dating, she spent so much time worrying about their relationship. Worrying that one day, when she lost her novelty, she’d lose him, too.

But here he is, sitting on the couch, rubbing her feet as they talk about their mundane days, and he still looks at her the way he always has.

His attention shifts to her calves, and she sits up, moving toward him so her knees are over his lap. She drapes her arms around his neck and kisses him softly. “I love our life,” she whispers.

“I do, too,” he agrees, and just as he goes to kiss her again, Sarah wails from her crib. He chuckles. “I guess nap time is over,” he murmurs.

“I’ll go get her,” she says.

“I got it,” he counters, giving her one more quick kiss. “You just stay here and work on cracking that punchline.”

She smiles and reaches for her notebook.

hi aj! i'm still on that csi rewatch (just venturing into season 7 now... so good) and i was thinking about how csi was different with naming their characters. i.e. sara instead of traditional sarah, nick and warrick having (nick)names that rhyme, super dave and hodges having the same first name, hank the paramedic + hank the dog. do you think this is all on purpose or it's just stuff that happened? i actually like those details because it's stuff we rarely see on tv and we know it happens in real life. thanks 🤍 have a great week!

hi, rewatch anon!

good to hear from you again!

re: your question:

unfortunately, the only bit of trivia i have ever encountered regarding character naming decisions on csi is that anthony zuiker originally intended to call gil grissom "gil sheinbaum," but billy petersen dissuaded him from doing so. zuiker then selected the replacement surname "grissom" as a tribute to real life nasa astronaut gus grissom, one of billy's heroes.

—which is to say i don't know why csi so often breaks the "one-steve limit" rule most other tv shows tend to as a matter of course adhere to.

the sara instead of sarah thing i can understand, as "sara without an h" was at least a somewhat popular spelling variant for american gen x babies born in the 70s and 80s, but having nick and rick, dave and dave, and hank and hank—to say nothing of gilbert and albert, dr. jane gilbert and dr. gilbert grissom and the gilbert institute for the deaf, lou vartann and lou gedda, sam vega and sam braun and sam the dog, and all of the recycled oddly-specific surnames of perps and victims (e.g., the name "kessler" crops up a lot, and not just for people related to lady heather)—is a somewhat more eyebrow-raising choice, i admit.

while of course in real life, one will often find people who share names or whose names happen to rhyme with each other or otherwise sound alike in most sufficiently large groups—case in point: i currently have three students with the same name in one of my classes, and they all choose to sit next to each other every day; two of them even have last names that begin with the same letter—in fiction, that kind of "doubling up" is usually avoided for the sake of clarity (i.e., so both the characters within the universe of the show and the audience outside of it don't have to constantly keep asking, "okay, but which one do you mean—the asshole boyfriend or the dog?").

whether the csi writing staff actively chose to forgo that particular storytelling convention for the sake of veritas or just stumbled into the name reuse thing more accidentally—as, after all, theirs was a "rotating writing room" which saw dozens of scriptwriters come and go over the years, not all of them equally well-versed in the "show bible"—i can't really say, though i somewhat suspect the latter option.

after all, the nick/rick thing would be easy enough not to notice at the time when those characters were first being named. "nicholas" and "warrick" aren't similar to each other either graphically or phonetically, and even "nick" and "warrick" have different syllable counts despite the end-sounds being the same when spoken aloud, so the "nick" and "rick" thing might just have slid by them, particularly before they were at a point when they really knew the characters or had an idea that "rick" might be a nickname warrick would occasionally go by.

hell, "rick" might not have even been a nickname the writers came up with themselves—it very easily could have been an on-set ad-lib (perhaps a paul guilfoyle innovation, as brass is the first character to refer to warrick that way back in s1).

so that one, i can very much see being unintentional—something that just wasn't really on the writers' radars during the character creation phase.

as for the issue of two daves, i do know that shows will sometimes supply minor characters with the same given names as their actors in order to keep things simple on set (particularly when the minor character in question may or may not ever end up becoming a recurring one), which is very much the case with "david phillips" and "david berman."

why the csi writers would take that tack with super dave but then name a second character david/dave later on—particularly when that actor's name is wallace and he goes by "wally"—i can't say for sure, but i have a sneaking suspicion that timing played a role, as three seasons elapse between the introduction of the first character and the introduction of the second (i.e., super dave first appears in episode 01x05 "friends & lovers;" hodges first appears in episode 03x11 “recipe for murder").

especially since super dave does not appear in episode 03x11 "recipe for murder," methinks the episode's writers, ann donahue and anthony zuiker—who is notorious for not knowing a damn thing about his own show—just forgot that super dave phillips was already in existence when they originated david hodges.

the fact that hodges is most usually referred to by his surname may have also contributed to the doubling, as they may not have been thinking about him as "dave" when they first set the concept of him down on paper.

as a side note: i cannot imagine how confusing it must have been on set filming episodes written by david rambo in which david berman playing david phillips appears alongside robert david hall—whom i believe also often goes by "david"—playing albert robbins and then david hodges played by wallace langham is also there. all i can say is it's a good thing hodges seldom makes trips to the morgue.

i'm disposed to believe something similar may have happened in the case of hank peddigrew and hank the dog, though on an even larger scale.

bad boyfriend hank gets written out of the show mid-s3 and is never seen or heard from again.

goodest boy hank doesn't get his official name on the show until episode 08x06 "who & what" when sara is the first character to say it.

between s3 and s8, the vast majority of the csi writing staff had turned over.

that so, i tend to suspect "that one shithead sara used to date all those years ago" wasn't really on anyone's minds when they were deciding what to name her dog—particularly since richard catalani, the writer who penned the episode, hadn't even begun working on the show until s4.

—though, of course, all of the above is just conjecture on my part, which i have no way to actually substantiate, and i could very well be wrong.

as for why no one consulted the show bible regarding this stuff—i mean, maybe they did and just decided the repetitions weren't that big a deal?

however, again, i tend to suppose that most of the time, they just didn't care to.

some writers are more fastidious about maintaining continuity and internal narrative coherence than others are, and, honestly, the csi writing staff (and especially zuiker) were never, even in their heyday, particularly careful in that regard; they typically cared more about case details than character biographies.

in any case, like you say, regardless of why it happened, the fact that there are so many characters on csi who share names does lend it a touch of realism that not all primetime tv dramas have.

fwiw, per the us social security administration, "david" was the second most popular name for american boys of the 60s (when hodges likely was born) and the fourth most popular name for american boys of the 70s (when super dave likely was born), so the statistical likelihood of there being two davids working in the same lab in the early 2000s would have been very high.

anyway, sorry i can't give you a more definitive answer! thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

and enjoy your rewatch!

partly outdated designs for our stupid solsquirrel crack au

feat: Hazel Lilith Ford (Hollyfang/leaf), Sarah Ford (Squilf), Jasper Ford (Jayfeather), Lennard/Lenny Ford (Lion), and King Solstice (Vampire!Sol) - mod soda

interesting notes:

Hazel is a Dhampir (half vampire), and is Sol and Sarah's forbidden child.

Jasper and Lenny are still Leah's (Leaf's) kids, but they were raised by Sarah alone with Hazel as their irish twin because the sisters had to hide it SOMEHOW. (Leah took a vow of celibacy in their religion when she became a doctor)

A lot of the plot is changed, including that hazel is the primary character, and her rival is Danzi Kessler (Darktail but italian)

Sarah's design has changed since i drew her as we decided Sand is mixed race immediately after i finished her and i did NOT want to destroy solsitce. that man is too pretty.

this is my first time ever adding more than one color to someone's skin with an airbrush please be nice/silly
