Something Goes Wrong
Josh Lyman, pre-The Fall is Going to Kill You, sequel to Drabble 40 (so it's an AU), 100 words.

What was the president going to do? Resign? Run again? Get impeached?

No. That wasn't who Jed Bartlet was. Okay, it was a secret – a huge secret – but Josh had his share of secrets. PTSD. The woman outside his office, smiling and softly humming in contentment.
Whatever happened, Josh was standing by the Real Thing in the Oval.
He just hoped it wouldn't break the Real Thing he was starting with Donna.
