Burning Buildings, Burning Bridges by Caz Q (PG)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/ Donna
Author on LJ: Not that I know of - anyone?
Author Website: cazq.freeservers.com. This is possibly an old site she know longer uses. Can someone advise me if this is the case? Ta.
Why this must be read:
So I'm hoping to cover as many as TWW pairings as I can doing these recs, and I remembered this one from way, way back and I couldn't believe it hadn't been recced yet. I mean, it's such a pretty Josh/ Donna fic, and you really ought to have read it. Even if you're not into the pairing. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It means I get the pleasure of reccing it! Yay me!
This is one of those stories that's a sheer pleaure to read (and in *stark* contrast to my last rec - how we change...). Lots of clever dialogue, a little Josh neurosis and the fandom's most endearing kiss. This is what you love about the show.
Here's a wee snippet because it's just too cute:
"Come to lunch with me, Josh," she says, standing in his doorway with a paper bag in one hand and a magazine in the other.
"Well, I don't know," he replies, looking up from the brain-achingly dull briefing memo he's been sent on the Kreutzer Amendment to HR839. He waves at the stacks of papers on his desk. "If you and I are both out of the office, who's gonna run the country?"

Re: The Author
The site *did* look long abandoned - but I'm glad I was able to find the story. It's sad when authors disappear off the net. It's like we're all forced to forget they existed. Like that movie with Julianne Moore...
Anyway, thanks for the story. It was a while ago now and I'm *sure* I sent feedback at the time (* scratches head*) but if I didn't, *great* story. :)
