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: Miss Pamela Beesly is faced with an unexpected choice. (Casino night done regency romance style because, why not? Just a bit of fun, and yes, there's a happy ending.) ""Ah! Halpert, good man. See to her, won't you? Philbin's waiting for me in the card room." Pamela Beesly glared at her betrothed, her face flushing, fingers clenched into the blue fabric of her gown. Surely he would not leave her on this terrace in the middle of their conversation? Mr. Halpert, her dearest friend and neighbor, murmured his acquiescence, and Captain Roy Anderson disappeared back into the ballroom."

Recommender's comments: I mean... it's Casino Night. But regency romance style. And with a happy ending. Isn't that kind of all the recommendation you need? Here's rooting for Mary to post this here too!

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 very good Roy POV piece if you want to understand Roy better without someone trying to convince you you should like him.

Summary: Dwight's your person and he's Jim's person, and you're both going to help him together. Pam and Jim understand each other a little better, these days. Sometimes Pam thinks it's all because of Dwight. And that's a scary thought. [spoilers up to 4x04, Money; also for Buffy the Vampire Slayer through Season 6]

Recommender's comments: A genuinely adorable JAM/Dwight friendship fic, fun both for being a good early-JAM dating slice of life and for exploring the Jim/Dwight parallels that Money alludes to.

Recommender's comments: Set shortly before the cameras arrive, this fic is a bit heavier subject matter but really well written and compelling. (contains a couple allusions to abuse)

Summary: "The people around you are basically who you end up spending your life with." Brian and Pam's friendship through the years. This fic follows the canon storyline up to 9.15 "Couples Discount."
Recommended by: NobleLandMermaid
Recommender's comments: Not a ton of Brian fics out there but this is by far the most in-depth one I've found (83k words!). Basically the entire series from Brian's perspective, each of the 9 chapters covering a season. The first two chapters will make you fall in love with the show all over again, also some really nice "off camera" stuff during seasons 3 and 5. Fair warning, this fic doesn't shy away from being rather critical of Jim.
