Summary: The dazzling masculinity of Toby Flenderson, the dark plans of Dwight Schrute of the end of the documentary, Todd Packer speaks, Roy chooses his best man, and other odds and ends that just couldn't make up a whole fic unto themselves.

Recommender's comments: A *deeply* adorable look at happily married Jim and Pam, with a dose of jealousy and insecurity and Pam never really accepting that guys are into her. It's better than I'm making it sound... I'm honestly hoping the author just posts it here.

Summary: In an attempt to brighten Pam's day, Jim unintentionally sends Michael down a rabbit hole of misinformation, causing him to create an unbearable work environment. (Basically, it's a spec script for a Season 2 episode in which coronavirus is just starting to spread.) Note: links to PDF

Recommender's comments: Look, it's a little too soon to laugh about all this... but this feels a lot like how canon might have tried to handle the pandemic.

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.

Summary: It was his first time seeing where she lived now and if he had thought longer about it, he might have felt guilty by the slight thrill it gave him. Instead, his mind was only on the present moment/prank/joke and no-one else’s feelings, so he only felt a rush of pride as his long legs bounded up the stairs.

Recommender's comments: Christmas 2006, written pre-Benihana Christmas. In which Jim falls back into old patterns with Pam and struggles to find his footing with Karen. A quite insightful look at Jim's inner monologue that December.

Summary: When he gets the notes back on the scenes he shot they're pretty typical. Typical anyway, until the end. The cameraman who shot Pam's last talking head in "The Job" gets feedback from his boss.

Recommender's comments: Reactions from the folks in the room when Jim asked out Pam for the first time. A fun look at behind the scenes of the documentary... and also slots remarkably well into canon for reasons you'll have to read to find out.
