Ygrawn - Better Than Perfect
Fandom: West Wing It's Josh and Donna's Assistant Anniversary. Josh has plans. As usual, they don't work.

This is a Josh/Donna romance that's outstanding. It's realistic in that they don't just assume that everything will work out and then fall into bed, it's hilariously funny and it's as angsty in places as you could ( Read more... )

Ygrawn - The Syntax of Things Unspoken

vogonguard - Four Days in December
Fandom: West Wing, BtVS Sequel to Changing the Guard by DonSample.
I think that the fascination for me in this short look at a meeting between Giles and Matt Santos is in the portrayal of Giles. It is an altogether plausible look at what Giles might become after a few years as head of the Council; still ( Read more... )

Carleton97 - Sittin' In Committee
Fandom: West Wing When Josh is 'volunteered' by Leo to give a lecture to Mallory's fourth graders on the federal government he, of course, drags Donna along to help him out.
