A Typo in the Constitution

I'm taking all of my emotionally intense feelings about television, and in particular The West Wing, and separating them from my more pragmatic day to day tumblings. I have no artistic talent of my own so almost everything will be reblogging other people's talent with intensely emotional commentary. Everything is intense and emotional, essentially. (I'm 19 and English and a lady person.)

a harry/ruth fanfic search

once upon a time there was an incredible harry/ruth fanfic about what happened in baghdad. i can’t even tell you what happened in it - except there was a bit where ruth stood by a hotel courtyard and a bit where they had dinner with some americans ?? - but it was beautifully well written and characterised and I CAN’T FIND IT ANYWHERE. it must have been on ff.net but my searches are coming up empty.

does anyone know the treasure i seek?

LEO: We have some things to learn.

BARTLET: I can't do this without you.

LEO: You think I'd let you? There's a reason I stayed sober.

domesticity meme: CJ & Toby #1

who does most of the cleaning?

(Except when acknowledging her. Her is called Sara and she’s working two jobs to get her through Georgetown. If Toby can configure their luxury as helping out a poor New Yorker, he can kind of handle the fact they have a maid. CJ practically adopts the girl when she finds Sara staring admiringly at her eveningwear collection, at Christmas she gets a tip and a Donna Karan.) It’s Donna’s fault. She turns up one day, unannounced with baby Noah and can’t see the floor for newspapers, take out and CJ’s stockings. She firmly presses a piece of paper with a company number into CJ’s hand. “One time I read a health department memo on household dust, please CJ, for the love of your lungs.”

BARTLET: Words, when spoken out loud for the sake of performance, are music. They have rhythm, and pitch, and timbre, and volume. These are the properties of music, and music has the ability to find us and move us, and lift us up in ways that literal meanings can't. Do you see?

ABBEY: You are an oratorical snob.

BARTLET: Yes, I am. And God loves me for it.

FIC PLEA!

I can't remember the name or location of my favourite ever Josh Lyman fic. (TW: suicidal behaviour)

Josh ends up in hospital after taking a lot of aspirin and Toby, Leo and Donna go to visit him. I'm pretty sure the title begins with L and it's the single best portrayal of the Leo/Josh dynamic I've ever read and the ending always makes me cry.

Does anyone know which fic I'm on about?! I've googled every line I can remember  (including Toby's "not yet")

and I can't find it anywhere. Help a fangirl out?
