Summary
People talked around him, but he wasn't particularly fond of joining in and hearing his own voice, especially when it reached his own ears in a taunting echo. It was too high, too feminine. He bought his flute of champagne up to his lips instead of speaking. He didn't want to hear his voice.
Josh struggles to ignore his gender dysphoria and keep himself composed during a social event at the White House. Thankfully, Jed's there to comfort him and say all the right things.

Summary
Set during season six's 'Faith Based Initiative' but slightly canon divergent. What if Josh really couldn't figure out how to tell Bartlet that he's leaving? What if he left a letter of resignation instead? He would the ensuing conversation go? Perhaps something like this. One-shot.

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)

Summary
Josh could hear the clock ticking against the wall. He knew that if he looked at it, it'd read 1:47, exactly three minutes past when he last looked at it, and about twenty minutes since he'd shown up late to his appointment with Stanley Keyworth. Not that he was counting.
He hadn't said anything in the past three minutes. Neither of them had. The office had been oddly quiet for a room containing Joshua Lyman.
Maybe that was part of the point.

Summary
A collection of drabbles written to quote prompts that are not long enough to warrant their own space. Some of which have been incorporated into long stories, some that might be. There will be multiple pairings and relationships, though its usually going to be Josh/Donna in some way. They seem to be the characters that communicate to me the most.
All drabbles are 500 words or less. There will be 2-3 drabbles per chapter. Drabbles can be missing scenes, alternative POVs and a few are AU.
