Two Joys
Josh Lyman, pre-series AU, 100 words
When Hoynes was nominated, he offered Bartlet the second spot, with just one condition – he had to get rid of Josh Lyman. Jed didn't want to, but Josh duly fell on his sword and resigned.
Watching the campaign from the sidelines was hard for Josh, but he found himself running the Congressional campaign of his old buddy Chris Wick.
When Chris won, he made Josh his Chief of Staff, of course. Josh took some bitter joy in watching Hoynes lose the Presidency. He took more honest joy from the blonde woman in his arms who followed him back to Connecticut.
