Since reading the fan fictions, I have read 3 stories so far that can come close to what the "real" Josh and Donna would say to each other. It's not overly sappy or generic. Good job.

"The speech does suck," Donna admitted. "That's why I'm looking for Sam." "You're not crowding his desk with this knucklehead stuff, are you?"..."I'm saying, Sam's no longer a speechwriter!" Donna smirked. "That's why I'm not looking for Sam Seaborn, Deputy Chief of Staff. I'm looking for my old friend Sam, who might have some friendly suggestions." "How d'you plan to keep those separate?" "The same way I separate the Josh Lyman I sleep with from the one who's currently ** me off. Josh went blank for a second. "Yeah, thanks for doin' that..." - I SO admire Donna's skill at being able to even do that.
"Josh..." He shrugged. "The-- I dunno-- any of the things we were just talking about! I'm worried about Sam!" Donna shook her head. "No, see, this isn't worried-about-Sam behavior. If you were worried about Sam, you'd take action. You might, for example, give him the night off and mock him relentlessly until he agreed to a fix-up with Ainsley Hayes..." "I didn't fix them up!" Josh insisted. When Donna arched an eyebrow that said she wasn't buying, he sighed. "I might have suggested-- or, you know, ordered her to get him drunk. Whether she takes advantage of him after that is totally her call." "Generous of you." "Yeah, I like to think of myself as benevolent in my rule." "See, that's worried-Josh behavior." - LOL, and I would LOVE to see Sam Seaborn drunk...
"Sam and Ainsley Hayes. You really think...?" "Maybe. I dunno. I just thought I'd try making some events." - Sam and Ainsley is going to be totally cute together, though God help them each election day with that Republican/Democrat thing they have going.

Okay, so I'm a wee bit late finding this. But it'd be unforgivable if I didn't tell you how much I adored this story. The touch of nostalgia, the banter, the reliving of the Gaza incident... it's all here.

Perfect pacing, dialogue and the most in-character Josh/Donna moment I've read in ages. Much to be proud of here, dearest.

Great fic, I liked how she acted and the bit about Sam and Ainsley.

I can't wait for your longer fic.

That was awesome! I can't wait for the next story. Great job with the voices and a really perfect description of the moment they finally talk about the past as well as Donna's motivations. Also, love the line "you should try doing it when a hot blonde answers"

Loved the story, especially the Sam/Ainsley angle. Do more of that! But I also liked Josh and Donna, and miss the bellowing.

Excellent! Very Josh/Donnaish

I was very entertained. Well done.
