Summary: Carol knows-- deep down-- that this won't end well.
Recommended by: darjeelingandcoke
Recommender's comments: You ever wondered what, exactly, Carol Stills could possibly be thinking in dating Michael? And continuing to date him even after everything? Well, now you know. Really cool character study that does a lot to fill out this minor character.

Summary: "Her father was trying to make her into the person God wanted her to be. It was her own fault that she was never good enough for either of them."
An exploration of Angela Martin from childhood through to mid season 5.

Recommender's comments: Very well-written if extremely dark look into Angela's backstory. Major triggers abound, but it's a high quality Angela taken seriously fic still in progress.

Summary: After hooking up that one night a month before Angela’s wedding, Angela and Dwight bring an unbearable sort of tension into the office. After about two or three weeks, their coworkers decide to put a famous play by Shakespeare into action to hopefully fix their problems and also bring back peace into the office.
It’s a comedy, really. That’s all.

Summary: This is how Karen's last week in Scranton goes.

Recommender's comments: Some jossed inner monologue from Karen post-The Job. Her last encounters with some of her Scranton co-workers. This is just well-written.

Summary: Ryan does a number on Kelly's emotional well being, again. This time, Kelly finds a new solution.
Recommended by: darjeelingandcoke
Recommender's comments: This is Kelly/Erin. Very well-written, and a great one if you love the rest of the ensemble too *and* were mildly horrified at the romantic drama the writers put these two through in later seasons. Or if you just feel like Ryan never quite got the karmic punishment he deserved and Kelly deserved better. (There is some interesting Kelly perspective on JAM in there too though.)
