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: HalloweenJack has a number of fics on MTT, but this one didn't make it over. A quick read with a bunch of hilarious tidbits in it.

Recommender's comments: Jenncho is one of the great fanfic champions of Andy/Oscar and has written 10 stories on AO3 about this pairing. This one, which could easily be canon-compliant, is my favorite. Set post-series, it's both a sweet getting-together story *and* a fun nostalgia trip. A good example of her work, and worth reading even if you're not into the ship.

It has magic powers.

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: Quick slices of life from after the EPISODE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING (for Dwight).

The author just has a good handle on character voice, it's worth a read.

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: 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.

Recommender's comments: Post-Casino Night speculation. If you can't get enough "Pam figures her life out during the post-CN summer" fic, this one is for you.

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