Editors’ Choice: 

April 4th was the anniversary of Josh and Donna’s anniversary! (Or not-anniversary, depending on who you ask.) Here are a few of our favorite Josh/Donna fics relating to their “anniversary”, for we are fans of occasion!

call it what you want to by mikaylawrites | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | These flowers are undoubtedly some strange Joshism that will take her another full year to puzzle out, but she’s no longer sure they’re the mean-spirited jab she initially assumed they were.

 Donna has a complicated relationship with April fourth.

 Admissible Evidence by tornandfrayed | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete |  “Anyway, I was wondering, can I still send you flowers in February?”

 A Man of Occasion by Arpad_Hrunta | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Even working on separate campaigns, Josh remembers to send flowers to Donna on their anniversary. In April. Donna decides to talk to him about this. Set in Season 6. One-shot.

 S.W.A.L.K. by auditoryeden | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | He's sent her flowers, and not just a grocery-store bouquet or the sort of flowers a florist might call "emergency level one". These flowers are at least emergency level five, possibly even emergency level “I-cheated-on-you-with-a-teenage-hooker”.

 In Full Bloom by eowyn_of_rohan | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | "This is the first time you sent me flowers in April that I actually welcomed.”

 affections and affectations by joshatella (shuuuliet) | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | In which Josh goes to the florist to pick out flowers for Donna for their "anniversary" and is confronted by the feelings he's been trying to avoid.

 Flowers and a Few Forevers by JessBakesCakes | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Donna’s given him nearly fourteen years of marriage, and a family he’d honestly never thought he’d have - in return, he’s given her flowers. Nothing he can give her seems like enough. But he’ll spend the rest of his life and a few more forevers trying. (Present Day Josh and Donna!)

Film after film: Three Months (dir. Jared Frieder, 2022)

Sivan is a surprisingly effective lead of this pleasanty low-key and sweet, though heavily formulaic film. The hook is fresh: Sivan has three months of waiting ahead of him, until he knows whether he's hiv-free. What is built around it varies in quality. There's the mourning trope: his mother (Landecker, great) left him with his grandparents after his father died. She's mostly absent and then is brought for one scene that makes her miserably unlikeable. The grandparents, played by the power duo of Burstyn and Gossett Jr., are grumpy but empathetic and loving. There's the best friend and a new crush, both of whom struggle with their own tropey shit. What sticks out though is how those relationships overlap and create priorities in the protagonist who sometimes chooses badly and then sees the consequences. It's a smart and pleasantly-looking (this animated intro!) film, you know, more or less, everything that will happen throughout, but it's anyway immensely watchable.

Missing (2023)

Summary: After June Allen's (Storm Reid) mother Grace (Nia Long) goes missing on holiday, June does everything she can to find her.

Decent with unexpected plot twists. Gimmick well utilised and inversion of roles of the missing and the searcher appreciated too.

Rating: 4/5
