The Thinner The Skin, by Jane St. Clair (PG)
Fandom: WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/Sam
Author on LJ:
3jane
Author Website: http://www.ravenswing.com/~mirrorgirl/door.html
Why this must be read:
I think of this fic as being the epitome of mainstream Josh/Sam fic. It's not got a wacky interpretation of their relationship to sell, it's not wildly unusual in any way. If anything, it's unusual in its normality - that we lucky West Wing fans can expect fic this good as simply being normal is still quite amazing to me. It's like the meat and potatoes of West Wing fic; plain, maybe, but satisfying, especially when as nicely flavoured as this is. This is quality stuff, and it's fic like this which keeps the fandom going. It's the sort of thing that's perfect for keeping nearby for times when you're not in the mood for anything too smutty or angst ridden or fluffy - times when you just want to get into West Wing world to relax for a while.
So, there you go. Have some post-Noel Josh/Sam angst. It's good, and it'll fill you up nicely. Enjoy. :)
