Summary
Donna wakes up and feels like her world has fallen out from underneath her. She has easily 80 messages on her machine, but she’s already called off work for the day. So, Donna Moss will not answer any calls from reporters, friends, or coworkers.
Not since Cliff Calley leaked her diary to the press.

Summary
“The size of the question is too big, is the thing,” he says, managing not to stumble over his words this time, and that’s slightly better, closer to how he imagined this going. “And I don’t want to get it wrong.”
“It’s not an SAT question, Josh. There isn’t a magical right answer.”
“I know that. But still, you have to admit, it’s a big question: what we want from each other.”
“It is,” she agrees hesitantly. She starts to move, pauses, then seems to think better of it and follows through with the action of stowing her paperback in the seatback pocket in front of her, no longer bookmarked. Another good sign, he hopes.
“So I figured,” Josh says once Donna settles back in her seat and turns her gaze to him again, “that maybe I’ve got to come at this from the other side. Figure out what I don’t want. Cut the question down to size a bit.”Donna gave them a four week window to figure out what they want from each other, but Josh is more focused on all the things he doesn’t want. One airplane flight and one long conversation that was a long time coming, as Josh and Donna figure out what it is they want from each other. Set immediately after 7.19: Transition.

Summary
He half-stumbles to his desk and picks up the phone, punching in the 4-digit extension.
"White House, USSS Uniformed Division, this is Officer Cortes."
"This is Josh Lyman. I need to see the security footage from the Quayle Conference Room. Everything from 11 A.M. to 12 P.M."
He doesn't understand how his voice sounds so calm when he's halfway to fracturing apart.

Summary
You know that tik tok trend from like six months ago where groups of friends would make PowerPoint presentations on whatever they wanted and present it to their friends and it would be funny and everyone would laugh? Yeah this is what would happen if the Bartlet staff attempted to do that.
Set during the Bartlet Administration, but also during covid-19 so it's an AU.

Summary
Donna watches, hands sunk deep in her coat pockets, as Josh trots back over to Cliff.
Moon glow intersects with street lamp to back-light the fountain, lending it a strange halo. Beyond it, all she can really grasp are two hazy silhouettes, both coiled with tension, paused there in the gloom of the night park for longer than she expects.
Her own pulse thrums, rabbity, in her fingers, and her guts sink at the prospect of her innermost thoughts being read out before a court or before Congress, let alone before an entire nation.
A gust of wind tosses her hair into her eyes, and she pulls her trench coat tighter around herself as she waits.
Josh was right — it is getting colder — but that’s not why she shivers.
Prompt: War Crimes angst + hooking up

“Welcome back listeners, we’ve got D on the line,” the radio host says. “D, why don’t you tell us what you’re calling about tonight?”
“I think I’m in love with my boss.”
Josh's eyes pop open. He would know that voice anywhere, hears it nearly every day, hears it in his dreams. It’s Donna.
