Even a Goldfish Deserves a Funeral by KHo (R)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/Donna - sort of
Author on LJ: KHo
Author Website:http://kho.cruel-kindness.net/words/tww.html
Why this must be read:
KHo is an incredibly good writer who has a terrific handle on the characters. She was very prolific in Season 6, but I think she's moved on to another fandom now... which is a great shame! If you're reading this KHo, we miss you!
Anyway, there was a lot of chatter around during S6 that the writers of the show hadn't really addressed the issues Donna must have had after being blown up in Gaza, and that they'd well and truly dropped that particular ball. There were hints that Donna was working through something on the show, but that was about it - just hints.
Anyway, whilst I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the idea that Josh and Donna should have his and hers matching PTSD, this is nonetheless a fabulous piece of writing and the character voices are spot on.
Even a Goldfish Deserves a Funeral
She also wrote a companion piece, which takes place 'during' this fic - Josh talks to Leo - The Need to Talk About It (you need to scroll down the page to the last fic because there are two others here as well.)
