‘Sam sees you dressed-up for the first time…’

reader specifications: wearing a dress and has long-ish hair

It was the First Lady’s birthday dinner and she had dedicated it to a charity sending relief to the victims of a recent flood down in Florida. As such, the floor was full of reporters and their clicking cameras with punches of flash.

Sam hung by the edge of the room, having drifted towards one of the many refreshment tables whilst in conversation with Josh.

“I’m just saying,” Josh continued, with just enough amuse-bouche in his mouth as was prudent for such an event, “Me, Toby and the President? No chance. But I really believe that you, Leo and Charlie could pull-off high heels!”

Sam levelled him with a hiked brow. “The President and First Lady haven’t even arrived yet. We’ve only been here for like ten minutes; tell me you’re not drunk.”

Josh half-cocked a hip in a staccato movement. His eyes were on Sam in that really-looking sort of way; Sam hated it. Josh could be unnervingly deductive when he really wanted to, and Sam hated it. But he looked away to pick up a passing martini from a waiter, and Sam breathed a sigh of relief that he gotten out unscathed. The older man made a small noise of satisfaction into his drink before looking back up at Sam.

“Dry spell, huh?” He smirked around the rim of the glass.

Sam resisted the urge to roll his eyes and turned to face the crowd on the floor. The movement was meant to say “I’m not dignifying that with a response” but they both knew it really said “… yes.”

Like a saviour, CJ appeared at Sam’s other elbow. She was wearing a dark blue, velour dress that perfectly swept the marble when she walked. It was a beautiful dress. There were lots of beautiful dresses in the ballroom tonight, of varying jewel tones and silkinesses. They all sort of blended together like a sweet jam.

“CJ, stunning as ever!” Josh greeted.

“Why, thank you, Mr. Lyman! You two don’t look half-bad yourselves.” She teased.

Sam smiled at the opportunity to tease Josh. “Well, according to Josh, I’d look better in a pair of stilettos.”

CJ didn’t miss a beat. “I wholeheartedly agree.”

Sam, betrayed, scoffed and turned away again.

It happened that he’d been left to face the direction of the door. He likely wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, but for you catching his eye as you walked in. Your dress was within the appropriate colour scheme, but somehow he felt it was much more intriguing than any other shade he had seen in his life, let alone tonight. Your hair was pulled up, away from your face, letting the golden light from the chandeliers bounce off the curves of your face unobstructed. You looked like heartbreak and heaven in one and Sam was left stunned.

Josh noticed his friend’s love-struck expression and gave him an encouraging nudge forward. “Looks like the dry spell’s over.” He smirked.

kid flash and winged m reader getting together finally?

Honestly cute asf I love the fact that winged reader keeps getting requested😭 anyways-

This is a bit long overdue huh? I mean let’s be honest most of the team saw it coming from miles away. From the night you took him out flying your relationship has only gotten better and better. Wally definitely fell first, and wasn’t exactly subtle about his growing crush either. You brushed it off though, he’d always seemed to be focused on you because of your wings so a little more attention wasn’t too weird, it was very distracting though. In fact his entire being was distracting to you, his cute little laughs and way he hums when petting your wings sometimes it started to become overwhelming for you for some reason and that’s when you realized you’d fallen too. The mutual pining was driving everyone else insane, just get together please! Whenever he was near you you’d think about confessing but something would either stop you beforehand or you’d simply chicken out.

One night however, Wally had walked into the locker room in the compound, you sat there plucking your feathered wings. A wave of deja vu hitting you as Wally picked up one of your discarded feathers, then another, and another. He was cleaning them up for you before you were even done, almost a stark contrast to when you’d first found yourself in a situation like this, where he refused to clean up your feathers unless he was getting wing time in return. Though as he sat beside you and placed the feathers down to play with your already plucked wing you guess in a way it’s still the same. “Ya know you could help me with the other one so I can finish this faster.” You suggested and he hummed, “maybe, I don’t know how to do it though.” “Just feel through, if you find any loose feathers just pluck them out,” he winced at the instructions and you chuckled “don’t worry it doesn’t hurt me.” he smiled, glad that it wouldn’t cause you any harm before situating himself by your other wing. As he began to pluck through your wing your hand dropped subconsciously and you hummed. You sat in silence for a few seconds, mind racing as you wondered if you should finally tell him about your recent growth in feelings towards him. You both were finally alone after all it’s not like anyone could interrupt this time. “Hey-” “Can we talk-“ you’d both spoken at the same time and you cringed at the awkward laugh that escaped you both simultaneously. “You can go first,” he mused and you could hear the smile in his voice. Taking a deep breath, you collected your thoughts as best you could, your heart racing as you began to speak. “I guess I just wanted to tell you,” you sighed, “I like you.” You decided to be blunt, you know if you tried to drag this out that you’d only stutter and mess up everything. You felt his hands stop combing through your wing, “like, like-like me or…?” You rolled your eyes, turning slightly to face him, your wing was pulled away from his hands though they didn’t drop. “No shit.” He stared for a second before a smile slowly started to break out on his face. He practically pounced on you and you both fell back into the previously placed pile of feathers. He giggled as you groaned, wrapped his arms around your waist on the floor. “I’m guessing this means you like me too?” “Yeahhh I guess you could say that.” He shrugged and you scoffed which only caused him to giggle. You couldn’t help but smile at the sound, looking down at him your eyes met and time seemed to slow as feathers still fell around you both. He sat up slightly, crawling over you before sloppily leaning in to kiss you. You chuckled before kissing back, using one of your hand to cup his face, your thumb caressing the skin of his cheek. He practically melted at the feeling before pulling back. “This makes us boyfriends now right?” Wally asked, his previous smile being even bigger than before. You nodded and he excitedly cheered, crushing you into a hug again.

Hollywood is on strike? Time to go back and watch The West Wing.

[princesssarcastia]

thinking about the tragedy of The West Wing tonight. thinking about how jed bartlet convinced josh lyman to work for him, before they ever met, by telling the truth even when it cost him political points. thinking about how bartlet massively betrayed the trust of the people working for him, and also kind of did defraud the american public!

thinking about how even when american liberals write their wet dream political fantasy they still can't get anything done. thinking about how the bartlet white house got so stymied politically the show spent more and more time writing convoluted military plotlines, because they'd hit the ceiling of their own political imagination.

let bartlet be bartlet, they said, and bartlet wanted to lie. he compromised on his agenda and his values. he promoted moderate positions and people. he sat there and watched everything he'd worked for be unwritten by a maverick republican speaker.

the most interesting moment in the back half of the show is when bartlet attains some kind of meta-level awareness of his own ineffectiveness and sends the government into a shutdown because he can't bear to play politics by the rules anymore. but it only lasts for a few episodes before it's back to business as usual.

"Filling another seat on the court may be the only lasting thing I do in this office," Bartlet says, and he's right. yes, they negotiated that deal on social security, but they couldn't take credit for it and that was it! that was their one thing!

no, don't go after the KKK and other white supremacist groups. no, don't publish that study about the necessity of sex education. don't do anything. espouse some grand ideals and watch as they're slowing crushed by the political machinery that YOU are operating.

it's best epitomized long before aaron sorkin left, in a half-overheard exchange happening in another room.

BARTLET: I couldn't disagree more, Cal. As long as these people are funding their public school districts with property taxes, neither the value of the schools nor the value of their property is going to go up. It's a vicious circle. It's terrible and it has to be stopped. CAL: So we're going to do something about it. BARTLET: I wouldn't go that far.

That's a real issue that we need a real solution for. But instead of reaching for the stars, the west wing decided to stay right here in the dirt where our current system has left us. and here we still sit, together, over twenty years later.

Bruce: I think you’re just being nice.

Tony: I think, if you ask around, you’ll discover that’s unlikely.

Fresh Bruises (Josh Lyman x Reader) Part 10

Y/N couldn’t believe that any of this was happening. She sat on the cool tile floor of the bathroom, her head leaning over the toilet as she vomited what little contents she had left in her stomach. She had been drinking the night before, of course, but not enough that she was hungover, and she prayed that this wasn’t the flu or something like that. But she also thought of another option that could be causing this sickness. 

“Y/N,” A voice called as they knocked on the bathroom door. 

“Come in,” Y/N groaned. 

Donna popped in, her hair and makeup already partially done. “I got the stuff,” She said as she set the plastic bag on the counter. “How are you doing?” 

“I’m ok,” Y/N said as she slowly got up and splashed some water on her face. 

“And you’re sure this isn’t just some wedding day jitters.” Donna asked as she gently rubbed her back. 

A smile spread across Y/N’s face. She couldn’t believe the day had finally come, after months of planning today was the day that she finally married Josh. And now there was a possibility of more excitement. 

“No, this is, this is different.” Y/N said as she pulled out a Pedialyte and a pregnancy test. 

“Y/N, hun, you gotta hurry up, you still need to get your hair and makeup done.” CJ called. 

“I’ll be right out.” Y/N called as she turned to Donna. 

“Are you going to be ok?” 

“Yeah, of course Donna,” Y/N replied as she started to take the test out of the box. 

“Y/N,” Donna said as she reached out and grabbed Y/N’s hand. “Are you going to be ok if this come back negative, I don’t want this to ruin your day.” 

Y/N smiled sadly. “I am anticipating it is going to be negative, I mostly just want to double check to make sure I’m not getting Josh sick. I don’t want you to have to take on any more of his work that you already do.” 

“Ok, I’ll just be right outside.” Donna said as she closed the door behind her. 

“It’s going to be negative, it is going to be negative.” Y/N kept telling herself as she waited for the test. She needed to keep her expectations low or it would end up ruining her day. That was why, when the test came back looking positive, she had to keep staring at it. 

“Donna!” She called “CJ, Ainsley!” 

All of the girls burst in, dressed in their bridesmaids dresses. “What’s wrong?” CJ asked. 

“It’s positive, I mean look at this that is positive right.” Y/N exclaimed tears in her eyes. 

All of them looked at the test before screaming and hugging Y/N tightly.

“Oh my god! This is so beautiful.” Ainsley said. 

“This can’t be real.” Y/N said her hands shaking as she still had the dance. 

“Well, it is and while this is all very exciting, we have even more excitement that we are going to be late for if we do not get your hair and make up started.” Donna said as she started as she ushered Y/N out in the hotel room to get ready. 

“You know Claudia is a really great name for a baby.” CJ said causing everyone to laugh. 

    ****

Y/N stood in front of the mirror, taking in her appearance. Her dress had off the shoulder straps that hugged her arms as it went into a flower patterned bodice that went into a large princess skirt. Her hair was pinned up with a dark blue comb that Abby Bartlet had lent to her for her something borrowed and something blue. On her wrist she wore a bracelet that Josh’s mother had given to her one christmas, it had been in Josh’s family for generations and it was her something old. For her something new it was something that no one would see but herself and Josh. The new lingerie wore was something she had bought especially for this day. 

“Y/N you look so beautiful,” Donna replied tears in her eyes. 

“Donna you can’t already be crying, you are going to make me cry.” Y/N replied and CJ quickly handed Y/N a tissue to dab her eyes. 

“Josh and you have been through so much, I just can’t believe we are here, and I can’t believe you are pregnant.” 

Y/N felt her breath his in her throat as the tears started to well up in her eyes. All she could think about was telling Josh that she was pregnant, she could just imagine the look on his face. And in that moment she could picture their future together with their new family. 

“I love you all so much, that you all for being there for me and Josh. You are our family and I am so happy you are all here to share this moment with me.” 

All of them hugged again, when there was a knock on the door. 

“Alright Y/N, it’s time.” Her wedding planner said and Y/N took a deep breath her stomach filling with butterflies. 

“You got this,” CJ smiled as she handed Y/N her bouquet that was filled with white and dark blue flowers that matched the bridesmaid dresses. 

As they made their way through the hotel and past their reception area, Y/N really took in the awe of the location and decoration. When Josh had told her they had booked the Hay-Adams hotel for their wedding and reception, she couldn’t believe it. Every since they had first gotten engaged, Y/n had mentioned that her dream location to get married but she had knew how hard it was to get booked. And Ceilia had been amazing with helping her find a wedding planner and helping with some of the homemade decorations. It was the wedding of her dreams. Of course when she was younger she hadn’t imagined that there would be secret service agents at her wedding. 

“You look beautiful,” Bartlet said as she appeared near the doors. 

“Thank you so much.” She beamed as he held out his arm for her. When thinking about who she wanted to walk her down the aisle, the only person she could think of was the man who had become like a father to both her and Josh. She knew it took some major negotiating with the secret service and she couldn’t be more grateful that it worked out. 

“I am so happy for the both of you. You two truly are made for one another.” 

“Thank you sir, and thank you for everything you have done for Josh and I. We owe you so much.” 

“You don’t owe me a thing, I care about you both deeply, and I want to make sure you are well taken care of.” 

He pulled her in for a hug, just as she could hear the music start for her entrance. She had picked the song At Last by Etta James for her entrance, it felt appropriate. 

“Are you ready for this?” Bartlet said. 

“I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.” She smiled. 

Bartlet nodded and the two secret service agents opened the door. 

Her nerves were going crazy when she saw all the people looking back at her, but the minute she locked eyes on Josh all her nervousness went away. 

Josh felt his heart skip when he saw Y/N. Instantly this eyes were flooded with tears. He couldn’t express how beautiful she looked and how grateful he was that they had made it to this moment. 

“Hi,” Josh whispered as Bartlet handed Y/N off to him. 

“Hi Lemon, you look very handsome.” She smiled as she took in his appearance. The man wore suits every day, but some how as he stood in front of her in his dark blue suit, she had never been more attracted to him.

“Let’s get married.” He smiled. 

“Let’s do it.” 

Josh had asked Leo to officiate the wedding ceremony and Leo did a beautiful job adding in funny stories about the couple. The two had also written their own vows, Josh’s were emotional and funny but full of heart. Y/N’s were powerful and tear jerking but with a lot of humor as well. And before the couple knew it, Leo said the magical words, 

“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride.” 

Josh didnt hesitate as he pulled Y/N in for a kiss as the entire room errupted in applause. 

“I love you so much Y/N.” He said kissing her again. 

“I love you Josh.” 

The wedding photos went by in a blur, all Y/N could think about was trying to find the right time to tell Josh. They were just constantly surrounded by people and all she wanted was a moment alone with him to tell him. So when they finally got called out to do their first chance she knew this was her best chance. 

The song that Josh and Y/N picked was Crazy Love by Van Morrison, and as they swayed to the lyrics Y/N could feel herself tearing up. 

“Mrs Lyman, what are you thinking about.” He asked. 

“I have a surprise for you.” She smiled. 

“I don’t need anything, I have everything I need right herel.” 

“Well, you might need to make room in your heart for someone else.” 

Josh looked at her confused. Suddenly she watched his face brighten as it clicked. 

“Are you serious?” He asked his voice cracking. 

Y/N nodded with a giant smile on her face. 

“Oh my god!” Josh gasped as he pulled Y/N into his arms tightly. “We are going to have a baby.” 

“We are going to have a baby.” She said and at that moment Y/N felt that she could never be more happy in her whole life.

[malkaleh]

Inspired by discussions with my discord friends especially @unseenacademic and @jessbakescakes about how Abbey adopted the staff as her kids as much as Jed and Leo did and probably earlier. TW for abuse discussion.

Sam has never been Josh, the son you worry about. Not really. Oh, there had been moments, Abbey knew that but of all of their unexpected additional children Sam had been one of the easiest.

Maybe that meant they should have paid more attention - the sweet kind level headed (relative to perhaps) ones like Sam, like Donna hiding in plain sight.

They’d had Dr Freeride show up, of course (the fact he was ever even passed through the first year of medical school disgusts Abbey beyond measure). But now, now it’s Sam’s own ghost. And none of them had seen it, had noticed.

She knows of course, that child abusers hide in plain sight. But it’s never been her son, her child.

[in-between-sleep-and-awake]

So I’m fine and everything is fine and we’re all good but also I’ve decided to rewatch some of my favorite West Wing episodes (not as a coping mechanism why do you ask) anyone have any episode suggestions?
