    Summary

    Being the White House Press Secretary, Josh realizes, is one of the toughest jobs in the administration to begin with. But with her co-workers' propensity for going viral, CJ certainly deserves a raise.

    Summary

    On the drive, it starts to hit him. Leah was born on the anniversary of the Rosslyn shooting. What would this mean for him? Leah deserved a father who wouldn’t be absolutely miserable on his daughter’s birthday every year. Of course, he’d love to think that her birth could erase all of the negative feelings he’s ever had toward this day, that it could make all of the anxiety and trauma melt away. But if he couldn’t pull it together on the day she was born, the day she came into the world, what evidence does he have to support the idea that next year will be better? Or the year after that?

    Summary

    “It’s sooo good, Dad,” Nora informs him as the other two nod enthusiastically.

    “Oh really?” Josh asks. “What’s it about?”

    He already knows the answer to the question, having done a scan of the plot synopsis so he could prepare himself for what’s to come. Still, he prefers to let his daughters explain things to him, both because it builds their confidence and because he’s in awe of the way their little minds work.

    “They're sisters, like us,” Olivia explains.

    The Moss-Lyman girls read Little Women; Josh has a lot of feelings.

    Summary

    “You’re sensitive. It’s sweet.”

    She bites back a smile at the image she’s evoked. Everyone thinks they know the real Josh Lyman. Bartlet’s bulldog, political wunderkind, the man behind Washington’s curtain. But they don’t know him like this. She brushes a sweaty tangle of hair from his forehead and pretends not to notice when he leans into her touch. No, this side of him is reserved just for her.

    His mouth opens in surprise, voice pitching up a notch, “I am n—”

    “Your system,” she amends. “Your system is sensitive.”

    Summary

    But now, he doesn’t need her anymore – or he shouldn’t, anyway. So she’ll go back to her apartment, and he’ll go back to work, and things will go back to normal, whatever the hell that means.

    There’s something about that idea that makes his stomach churn.

    Summary

    “Gather ye rosebuds,” she’d said, all impetuous, up on her knees on his damn bed, and it’s so confusing, the way he’s almost positive that’s she’s flirting with him sometimes, even as she actively pushes him towards other women.

    Gather ye rosebuds.
     
    Joey’s door is within sight now, but Josh turns around without knocking, without pausing or even slowing down, driven by something sharp and immediate that seems to be lodged directly behind his solar plexus.
     
    ** A one and done smutshot, canon-divergent from 20 Hours in LA, in which Josh realizes where his rosebuds are and goes back to his hotel room to gather them. **

    Summary

    “In your apartment,” she recalls, craning her neck back to squint at the sky as they walk. “I think I was changing your bandage on your chest and you, uncharacteristically, became very grateful and thanked me for helping you. Then you made some comment about how if you were stranded on a desert island one of the things you’d want with you was, well, me.”

    Josh is looking at her, but she’s pointedly not looking at him. For reasons. “Because you’d be the one to get us off of it,” he finishes, nodding his head like he remembers the exact conversation. It’s few and far between that Josh illuminates his feelings about her, even if they’re strictly professional and platonic, but when he does it feels nothing short of a miracle.

    Her heart is pounding again. “Yeah. You’re lucky to have me.”

    (or, the one that asks and answers: what if it was only Josh and Donna who'd been left behind by the motorcade? just the two of them?)

    Summary

    When Donna asked Josh if he would be willing to join her for Christmas in Wisconsin, he didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. He did, however, confess that he wasn’t quite sure what a big family gathering was like. For the majority of his life, he’d explained, it was just him and his parents. Now, it’s just him and his mother. (And now I have you, he’d added, taking her hand and giving it a squeeze.)

    Summary

    Mid-October, 2007. True to form, Josh and Donna can't agree on when to celebrate their anniversary.

    He frowns back at her. ‘Wait. Hang on. What day are you saying is our anniversary?’

    ‘October 17th. The day we first kissed,’ she says, setting her sights on his chips again. ‘Why, what’re you saying?’

    ‘I thought November 6th.’

    She makes her selection from the bag after several seconds of contemplation and raises her eyebrows at him. ‘You’re counting the first time we slept together?’

    ‘Yeah, I—’ He breaks off, explaining hastily, ‘Not—not in a—a lecherous way; it was just, y’know. It seemed—obvious.’

    Her expression is wry as she pops the chip in her mouth. ‘I’ll bet it did.’

    ‘It was a very special night!’ he exclaims, a little high-pitched.

    Summary

    “So what are you planning to do? It’s not as if you can write letters to every journalist who’s ever written a bad word about me.”

    “Watch me,” Josh mutters under his breath, hands held up in mock surrender when Donna narrows her eyes at him.

    “Okay,” she corrects herself. “How about this? The President’s Chief of Staff can’t write letters to the journalists who badmouthed his girlfriend.”

    Of course he knows she’s right — she’s pretty much always right, it hadn’t taken him very long to figure that out. But… but…

    “But how else am I supposed to defend my woman’s honour?”
