cjd*nny shippers like to pretend that it’s some big ideal romance but I can’t get over how danny randomly disappears TWICE and both times CJ doesn’t care and never mentions him or acts like she missed him when he comes back or anything. she has zero object permanence when it comes to that asshole.

#anti cjdanny #this post was brought to you by a half a glass of wine and a convo I had with Sam this weekend #the west wing #tww meta

Five Minutes and the Future by glassessay | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “I don’t want to be angry about it anymore,” he says. “I’m tired, Donna. I just want my best friend back.” “Sam’s in California,” she says. “Did you not hear the capital letters? Capital B capital F Best Friend, Donna, I’m talking little matching charms on our bracelets—" “I’m tired too,” she blurts out. “It’s been a long primary.” It’s less than an hour before what’s likely the last speech of the Santos campaign, and Josh has an apology he needs to make. all I need’s a whisper in a world that only shouts by Luppiters | Rated M | Danny Concannon/C.J. Cregg | In Progress | Drabbles and ficlets inspired by requests, prompts, and just about anything, written over the years. Mostly C.J./Danny, together and apart.

Editors’ Choice:

This week, we’re focusing on some of our favorite fics set in or referencing events from Season 4! Be sure to share your favorites as well.

dial the number who’s bound to love you by mikaylawrites | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | He’s halfway to drifting off when the show comes back on, announcing their next caller. “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. - After the night of the inauguration leaves him confused, Josh hears Donna call into a radio show for advice...about him.

often a sweetness by thefinestmuffins | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Josh and Donna cope with a series of increasingly intense and unsettling events in the only way they know how: by turning to each other. *Or; a fic to fill in the emotional gaps in late season 4*

Conspiracy by hufflepuffhermione | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “What do you think all the conspiracy theorists out there will make of this?” Will asks. “I think they’ll be disappointed that the White House is wasting its time and energy on getting these two idiots together instead of executing, you know, actual conspiracies." - After witnessing the snowball incident, the whole White House staff decides that the Josh-and-Donna thing needs some outside interference. just wrong enough to make it feel right by Luppiters | Rated G | Danny Concannon/C. J. Cregg | Complete | “Hey, CJ. I have a room reserved nearby. They might have more – come with me?” CJ swallows her surprise at the familiar voice – one she hasn’t heard since after Inauguration; one that both calmed and unnerved her. For TWW Press' Wheel of Destiny challenge: Only One Bed, S4 and the Bartlet Farm.

blue, 1971 by crossingdelancey | | Rated T | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler | Complete | CJ, standing at thirty-something, has her feet in the now and her head stuck back in the warmer days, where she thought that maybe she’d marry that man. — toby is moving on, and she misses him terribly

@JanelMilfoney: December 7 | December 7 (2) (thread) | December 8 | December 9

Creator Spotlight:

Each week we ask a different fandom creator the same ten questions, as well as questions from you submitted on Twitter! This week our featured creator is @alexandrarando on Twitter (imperfectirises on AO3!). You can find the spotlight on Tumblr or on Twitter.

This Week in Canon:

Welcome to This Week in Canon, where we revisit moments in The West Wing that occurred on these dates during the show’s run.

Season 6, Episode 8: In the Room aired on December 8, 2004.

Season 7, Episode 8: Undecideds aired on December 4, 2005.

Editor’s Choice:

Snow day! Cozy up with your blanket and hot cocoa, because It’s winter in D.C. This week we’re rounding up some stories that feature snow.

baby, it’s cold outside by crossingdelancey | Rated T | C.J. Cregg/Andrea Wyatt | Complete | ‘Well, how about this way? I love that you get cold when it’s seventy one degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts, I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.’

oh, i thought this is going to be one of those things by JediAnnieScrambler | Rated M | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler | Complete | “Two rooms,” said Toby, before adding, “Please.”

“Only one room left,” said the man, “Only one room and only one bed in the room.”

CJ set her jaw. Of course. Perfect. They could barely stand to look at each other and now they had to spend the night in a tiny motel room bed together.

It Must Have Been The Way You Kissed Me by octothorpetopus | Rated G | Danny Concannon/C.J. Cregg | Complete | Snowed in at the White House, C.J.'s life is less of a fairytale than ever. That is, until her red-haired, suspenders-wearing prince sweeps in with one too many questions and all the right things to say.

Essentials by shutterbug_12 (shutterbug) | Rated G | Sam Seaborn, Ainsley Hayes | Complete | During a grocery run, Sam and Ainsley have different definitions of 'essentials'.

the first fall of snow by hufflepuffhermione | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | He closes his eyes, remembering a night so many years ago, and reaches down to form a snowball. “I have a better idea,” he says, grinning at his kids. “Your mom will appreciate this.” He pulls his arm back and launches the snowball at the window. Unfortunately, his famed throwing arm, which couldn’t even get him on the baseball team in high school, has only gotten worse with age, and the launch only hits the siding of the house.

Josh teaches his kids how to throw a snowball.

the first fall of snow (and how it glistened as it fell) by mikaylawrites for starsontheceiling | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | He hisses when the snow hits the back of his neck, even as Donna whoops with delight. She’s already moving her limbs back and forth with reckless abandon and Josh doesn’t think he’s ever seen anyone look so carefree in his life.

Josh steps in to help Donna fulfill a childhood tradition; it becomes their thing.

when you’re close I feel like coming undone by pumpkinpatch95 | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Will, after Josh drags everyone to throw snowballs at Donna's window: is this uhh normal

Everyone: yeah

Poor Will is trying to figure out the relationship dynamic of his new colleagues. Plus, Josh and Donna know something has changed after Josh's big gesture, but it takes a dance, and some jealousy, for them to finally get it together.

Fics:

Presenting your weekly roundup of fics posted in the tag for The West Wing on Archive of Our Own. If you are so inclined, please be sure to leave the authors some love in the form of kudos or comments. Be mindful of posted warnings/tags for each story.
