Summary: Michael decides to have a sleepover at the office. Shenanigans ensue.

Recommender's comments: This is script-fic set between Business Trip and the MSPC arc, and it's absolutely brilliant. Could 100% be an unproduced episode - everyone's voices are dead on.

Not particularly JAM-focused, but there are some very sweet JAM moments I would've loved to see onscreen... including some conversations we really didn't see enough of about Jim's goals besides being with Pam and Pam's feelings about being back at DM.

Recommender's comments: In which Jim and Karen watch a movie together and Karen overidentifies with a woman who is about to be on the losing end of a love triangle. Better than I'm making it sound.

Summary: Although Pam knows Roy isn't perfect, she also knows that she can't expect anyone better than him to come along. Then one day a new salesman starts at the office. Inspired by Pearl Jam's "Better Man."

Recommender's comments: A Pam POV stretching from before Jim arrives at Dunder Mifflin to somewhere around Stress Relief, and a lovely little walk through her head - one that also illustrates the parallels and relationship between her failed engagement to Roy and her parents' unhappy marriage.

Summary: Roy can see them before he opens the door, as he walks up the stairs. Jim’s leaning in towards Pam and she’s laughing at something he’s just said. She never laughs like that at anything Roy says anymore. When he sees Roy, Jim will straighten up and Pam will smile forcedly. Roy knows how things are. He isn’t as stupid as everyone seems to think.

Recommender's comments: A sweet but mainly hilarious glimpse at Pam and Jim making a game out of hiding their new relationship from their co-workers during the post-The Job summer. There are just some killer lines here.

Summary: Jim has a secret agenda including Pam, and the Dunder Mifflin cameramen are interested.
Recommended by: darjeelingandcoke
Recommender's comments: Jim proposes. Pam says yes. They get married. From the POV of the camera crew that's gotten way too invested in this story. If that intrigues you, read on. (AU in the "this is a prediction of what would happen from S4" sense rather than the "this is the story set in a different universe" sense.)

Summary: A series of challenge stories based on the 52 LJ prompts. JimPam. (Chapter 11: Five games that changed a relationship; because it's not about winning or losing, it's about how many pranks you can pull along the way.)

Recommender's comments: Daughter of Atlas is an uncrowned queen of Jam fluff. (Laws of Variation in particular is just wonderful S4 fic that feels very much like something that could have happened on the show.)

Summary: "She brushes a thumb over the skin of his hand and he’s sure his heart is breaking inside his chest because he can’t do this. And he can’t let her do this. They’re not these people. This, this moment, his hand in hers, this is okay. They can wake up tomorrow, see each other at work on Monday and laugh about too much beer and a dumb moment with a high five that ended poorly. But what goes on beyond that… they are not those people." A story in which Jim innocently invites Pam to his house party and she comes feeling a little upset. But he puts his feelings aside and tells himself that tonight, he’s going to be a good friend. And what do good friends do when their friends are in pain? Help them forget with a little fun and a lot of booze. A one-shot of our favourites in one of many moments they could've slipped up while Pam was with Roy.

Recommender's comments: This is a quintessential Season 2 one-shot, featuring all the greatest hits: Pining White Knight Jim, Almost About to Come to Grips With Her Feelings Pam, Jim and Pam Being BFFs and Not Just Secretly in Love, Roy being a jerk and everyone being juuuuuuust a little drunk. Fabulously well-written, very in character.
