Summary
In the shadowed back channels of the Cold War, Avi Maxwell moves between ports, safehouses, and shifting loyalties.
It is 1973, and a routine extraction in Marseille delivers more than stolen schematics—it unearths a secret binder cataloguing years of covert cooperation and quiet betrayals, proof that Israel’s nuclear future is being managed from elsewhere.Seven years earlier in a snow‑choked Connecticut office, Avi once sat across from a Polish scientist who had survived both Nazi camps and Soviet laboratories, only to refuse service to yet another flag. That refusal still haunts him as he moves through a world of quiet compromises and moral fault lines.
A prequel to the Alabaster Cycle (West Wing AU), The Dimona Variations traces Avi’s journey through missions, encounters, and betrayals that will one day lead him to defect—and into the orbit of the men whose names still echo in the halls of the West Wing.

Summary
Josh and Donna deal with the fallout of their work and romantic decisions. The West Wing gets shaken up, in mostly good ways. And what exactly is a "Code 208"?
This West Wing AU story is set sometime in Season 5, pre-CODEL trip. Contains assorted spoilers for Season 1-4+. This revised and rewritten edition is a sequel to “Book One: Magic Kingdom Come.” If you have not read that work you will be a bit confused. If you read the first edition of “Code 208,” I hope you like the changes. Thanks to Leslie, Angela, Renie, and others who encouraged me to revise and improve this piece. -ReverendKilljoy
