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.

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.

Stuck between overbearing parents, abusive exes, and new jobs that just don't compare, the two of them struggle to get to their future while enjoying where they are.

Recommender's comments: This story is sooooooo good. It’s about Michael and Holly, and this site is severely lacking in stories about everyone’s favorite soupsnakes, especially after they move to Colorado. Almost everything they do in this story makes sense for their established character, and it has some pretty great OCs too. Fair warning, it is 100 chapters, and 200k+ words, but it’s definitely worth reading.
