It was caz963 who started it. Then,
akalettucehead got inspired. So, I thought I’d post a list of my own.
There are a lot of West Wing fics I love. There are lots of West Wing fics I recommend. But these are my favorites. The ones I reread over and over. My rule of thumb for deciding was which ones did I want all in one place so I could have easy access later.
Arianne
{I’ve only ever seen her stuff posted on the Yahoo J/D fanfic list… which is a shame because you have to be registered to read them.}
“Iris”
(It starts with CJ’s grief over Simon and Donna’s friendship, but ends with Josh and Donna. Just a wonderfully sweet fic.)
“Ultimate Power”
(A Josh and Donna pool fic, that somehow works. CJ is wonderful in this one too. Brilliant and laugh out loud funny.)
Bex
“Amendments”
(Wonderful, snarky Season 6 phone conversations. What’s not to love?)
“Bath Time Is Quiet Time”
(Don’t know if the actually counts as a fic. It’s pure smut. :-P But smut of a superior quality!)
“Dealing With The Job”
(Love the concept. Love the style. Love everything about it.)
“Lil' Blue Eyes “
(A short, little drabble that says everything.)
BlackEyedGirl
“While They Sleep”
(Short and angsty character studies.)
Claire
{She posted under “Canne” at fanfiction.net, but since Claire was the one she used for the “Author” category, that’s the one I’m going with.}
“The Green Minivan and the Super Swedish Safety Car”
(Sweet and funny. Exactly what you wished happened at the end of “2162 Votes.”)
Coffeeplease
{Also know as: Coffeeplease, Akalettucehead, Clettie or CL.}
“The Briefing You Never Wanted To Give”
(One of the best Leo tributes. Only the Requiem teaser beats it.)
"Keys"
(I love the repetition of the key motif throughout their relationship.)
"His Daughter"
(I love this future. It could realistically happen just like that. Excellent characterizations, reactions, and descriptions.)
“I Hate Planning A Wedding”
(I like Donna’s frustration and Josh’s calm.)
“Prisoner #454692”
(Don’t know why I love this one so much. Toby is so sweet and sad, it breaks your heart.)
“Polishing The Peach
(I do seem to have a thing for Season 6 phone conversations. This one is fluffy and fun
"Take Five"
(You just can’t get better than this.)
Dawnitella
{aka Lizabeth, Liz & The Great Mumu}
“Lip Twitch”
(It so could have happened like this!)
Dianora
“Burning” and “Drowning”
(Companion pieces. Post-Gaza and absolutely brilliant.)
Emily’s List
“La Vie En Rose”
(Just beautiful.)
ScullyAsTrinity
“Sunday Morning”
(Short and fluffy. I like the pairings.)
Seri Scribble
“Confessions”
(Read it for Sam’s reaction, if nothing else!)
“MEMO: What's wrong with the people you date”
(The first chapter is funny. It’s the second chapter that makes it art.)
Speranza
“After Gaza”
(Just brilliant. Sweet, funny (no PTSD) and rather perfect.)
“The Age of Aquarius”
(Probably my favorite fic ever… Well, at least my favorite AU. I just can’t say enough about this one!)
“Epiphany”
(Wow.)
“The Politics of Love”
(This fic has it’s flaws, but you can’t beat Josh’s question at the beginning and Donna’s reaction at the end.)
“A Van, a Plane, a Car, and a Bus”
(Very funny, then very smutty and ends being very sweet. Set early season 7)
Yana
“The Love Sponge”
(Just too funny! And, surprisingly for Yana, smut free.)
