selenakWest Wing:
Back after I had marathoned through The West Wing, I was somewhat frustrated at the lack of later season fanfiction, unless it was shippy Josh/Donna which I wasn't interested in, especially fanfic that featured characters like Kate who only are in the later seasons and thus not to be found in earlier fanfic. So I was really glad to wake up this morning and discover these two stories:
Connection: Kate pov, a general portrait with a focus on her relationship with CJ.
Til I break into pieces without a trace: Donna during early s6, dealing with the aftermath of Gaza and making her decision. The show itself was mostly in Josh's pov during the relevant time frame, so it was awesome seeing Donna's explored. (And Donna in general in a non-romantic context.) Wells had a differnet take from Sorkin on the characters, and in the case of Donna I must say I prefered it, because I doubt Aaron S. would ever have let Donna do what she does in s6. *tries to put it as unspoilery as possible for new watchers*
Poetry and history:
Heretic is a magnificent lyrical portrait of Akhenaten byrozk. Great if you know your Egyptian history and also if you simply love good poetry.
