Disclaimers: I own nothing, I’m making nothing… these wonderful characters were created by Aaron Sorkin and belong to Sorkin, Wells and NBC. I’m just taking them out for a spin and will return when I’ve finished with them. Although I might need to hang on to Josh for a while …

Being anally retentive about that sort of thing, I proofed it myself, so any mistakes are mine!

Category/Pairing: Josh/Donna.

Spoilers: Throughout the series and beyond!

Rating: PG-13 (language)

A/N: Written for the 2008 sorkin_fest ficathon. The prompt was –

“Everyone knows about Josh’s feelings for Donna. He’s not cryptic.”

A/N 2: Thanks, as ever, to coloneljack and zinke for their help and encouragement. And a special thank you to Mr Coloneljack for his help with the Italian. Grazie!

Category/Pairing: Josh/Donna - Bubblefic! So fluff, mush, romance and smut. With a dollop of angst thrown in because I felt like it :)

Spoilers: Um… up to early S7, I guess. This is set shortly after Donna joins the Santos campaign in The Al Smith Dinner, 7.06.

Last time…

“There are some things you need to see – some things from your past about which I think you need to be reminded, and some things that may well come to be part of your future if you don’t learn the lessons the spirits are coming here to teach you.”

“I don’t suppose there’s any point in my asking if I can see them all together and get it all over at once?”

“Not really, no.”



( So you're the spirit whose coming was fortold to me? )
