Summary: Michael decides to have a sleepover at the office. Shenanigans ensue.

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: 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.)

Summary: Jim and Karen discover that The Sound of Music just isn't quite as cheerful when you're a grown-up.

Recommender's comments: In which Jim and Karen watch a movie together and Karen overidentifies with a woman who is about to be on the losing end of a love triangle. Better than I'm making it sound.

Summary: “I like talking to you. I LOVE talking to you. You’re the best person I talk to here.” “I’m the only person who you talk to here, Jim.” - jim gets a little drunk cleaning up after a party and pam is stuck in the office taking care of him until he sobers up. sometimes things are cliches for a reason, folks
Recommended by: darjeelingandcoke
Recommender's comments: It's Jim. It's Pam. They're cute. He's drunk. He confesses his feelings. They make out. Listen, if you're reading this, do you actually *need* more than that to want to read this story?

Recommender's comments: A sweet but mainly hilarious glimpse at Pam and Jim making a game out of hiding their new relationship from their co-workers during the post-The Job summer. There are just some killer lines here.

Summary: Jim has a secret agenda including Pam, and the Dunder Mifflin cameramen are interested.
Recommended by: darjeelingandcoke
Recommender's comments: Jim proposes. Pam says yes. They get married. From the POV of the camera crew that's gotten way too invested in this story. If that intrigues you, read on. (AU in the "this is a prediction of what would happen from S4" sense rather than the "this is the story set in a different universe" sense.)

Summary: Kelly’s probably had this discussion about a million times in her life, but she’s so excited that Jim is actually playing along that she doesn’t mind. Plus, she really would like to know his opinion on this. It’s always good to get a guy’s perspective when it comes to romance and dating, even if that guy doesn’t understand the most amazing movie of all time.

Recommender's comments: Jim/Kelly during the dark days of Season 3 (although it *could* be read as Jim/Kelly friendship if you're insistent on canon compliance), very in character for both of them, featuring a mostly oblivious Karen and world's worst boyfriend Ryan and Jim having a very predictable take on Pretty in Pink.
