Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

The West Wing, Josh/Donna, Josh watching Glenn Beck

[daisysusan]

I have your prompt to thank for the water all over my computer screen right now. That is what the mental image of Josh watching Glenn Beck causes.

[ppyajunebug]

SERIOUSLY. I need Aaron Sorkin to bring back The West Wing RIGHT NOW so I can get my fill of Josh taking on the Tea Party. PLEASE AARON PLEEEEEEASE.

[daisysusan]

That would be amazing. I would die happy.

As of this moment, my entire mission in life is to make this happen.

The West Wing - Josh and Donna - And Most Fools Do (1/2)

[amazingly_me]

It's more "Josh and Donna" than Josh/Donna, I'm afraid, and exists at some nebulous point on The West Wing's timeline which never actually existed. Title is from a Benjamin Franklin quote

The West Wing - Josh and Donna - And Most Fools Do (2/2)

[amazingly_me]

"He jumped out of his seat, made some screechy noises about the downfall of our great nation, and then started crying," Josh says. "I don't understand."

"People want to be comforted, Josh," Donna says in what Josh has privately started to call her well look who thinks he's a special little snowflake today voice.

"Couldn't they make some hot chocolate and watch Hugh Grant movies or something?" Josh asks. Donna drops the file onto his desk and blinks at him for a moment.

"Really? Hugh Grant is your go-to for comfort? Not that I can fault your taste or anything, Josh, but it's probably going to impugn your reputation as Mr. Scary Political Operative when I tell the entire secretarial staff of the West Wing that British accents and winsome grins make you swoon."

"First of all, I do not swoon over Hugh Grant-- no, you know what, scratch that, I do not swoon over anything."

"Let me guess," Donna says, leaning against the door frame. "Not manly enough?"

"I will have you know that I am extremely manly!" Josh says

*hands you the Internet*

I may or may not be starting an entire religion based around you. So, if people start asking you if you know your awesome-meter levels, you know they're followers of your awesome way.

YOU WIN ♥

(hyacinthian linked me here. I wrote that as "licked" initially, jsyk. It is probably food-related as I just made red velvet cupcakes which I would give you like TEN of right now if I could.)

At what decibel level is he assuming his version of truth will just vibrate into fact?

I AM USING THIS LINE FOR MY REAL LIFE RANTS

This is the funniest fic I ever read. Ever, ever. You, my friend? You win. This is not only hilarious, but features fantastic dialogue that is pitch-perfect for the characters. The way Donna approaches the whole rant from beginning to end is entirely appropriate for her, and Josh's rant is 100% true to Josh. I adore this. Adore it. This is just wonderful. I love it. <3

Oh, oh! And my favorite lines were the ones about Beck being "wired for sound". That whole exchange, actually, was my favorite part. =D
