   Summary

   Josh’s Mom passes away, and Donna is sent to Connecticut with him to help control his spiral. Whilst sitting Shiva, they bond more than previously thought possible.

   Set in mid season 4, but not really connected to any specific episode).

   (It’s mostly sad and angsty, but does have a few fluff moments thrown in too. For context, I also made Josh’s mental health struggle a little more prominent, because I think it was overlooked. Also, Mackenzie McHale from The Newsroom comes into it for a little while, but it’s not essential to know TNR! title: marjorie, taylor swift)
