This week, we’re sharing some of our favorite fics set (or partially set) in Season 2! Be sure to tell us your favorites, too!

Eight Years by miabicicletta | Rated G | Danny Concannon/C. J. Cregg | Complete | He says her name over the TV and the chatter. all will be well by joshatella (shuuuliet) | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | It is, without a doubt, the worst birthday that Donna has ever had.

So she’ll go back to her apartment, and he’ll go back to work, and things will go back to normal, whatever the hell that means.

-El enigma de Lawrence. Desde que vi “Get Out” se me hace difícil confiar en los personajes de Bradley Whitford, pero el Comandante Lawrence no podía ser tan malo verdad teniendo en cuenta al final de la segunda temporada ayudó a escapar a Emily y a June, aunque ella haya decidido quedarse. En la tercera temporada, poco pudimos descifrar al críptico personaje de Whitford. Esto es lo que sabemos de él: se trata del creador de Gilead, o sea, es el responsable de ese sistema diseñado en donde la mujer es relegada a ser la acompañante fiel y donde la criada solo es un objeto que debe procrear, pero lo más importante de Lawrence no es su poder, sino su kriptonita; Eleonor (Julie Dretzin), su esposa.

No está claro si la razón de la inestabilidad mental de Eleonor es producto del lugar, de la culpabilidad o si siempre estuvo enferma, como sea, ella se queda por él y él no puede salir de Gilead porque sería acusado de crímenes de lesa humanidad. Tampoco se sabe si es que Lawrence se arrepiente de su creación porque abrió los ojos o por simple conveniencia o lo siente por el estado de su mujer, pero cuando June es designada como su criada, parece que él mismo sabía que los problemas llegarían con ella. En ese sentido, la relación de June con Lawrence es simbiótica hasta evolucionar a una alianza estratégica e hipnótica. Después de perder a su mujer, ayuda a June en su plan de sacar a los niños de Gilead. Whitford rodea a Lawrence de un hermetismo impenetrable con una agenda indescifrable, sabemos lo que hace, pero no sabemos por qué. Tampoco sabemos qué fue de él tras ayudar a June ni qué será de él en la cuarta temporada.

Samira DID NOT deserve that nomination. I am not even sorry to say that. It should have been Yvonne. Ann Dowd, Madeline Brewer or Amanda Brugel I can accept, but Samira did NOTHING. 'You are the gender traitor' was a big moment but the other ladies had more and better big moments like that.

Seriously. She had a nice chunk to work with in S1, marginally adequate amount of content in S2, but S3? Really? WHY?

ESPECIALLY when you have literally every other female character who had a better season and far more to do. Except maybe Alma (cos she got shafted too). I mean off the top of my head, actresses more deserving of a nom from THT S3: Yvonne (OBVIOUSLY), Ann (huge presence in S3), Julie Dretzin, Ashleigh Lathorp, Alexis (who actually had one of the most moving scenes/subplots all season and I say that as NOT an Alexis fan), and yes even at a push Madeline or Amanda. 

I just don’t understand it. I just don’t.
