Super late to this party...
I’ve loved The Office for a few years now & have dabbled in fic for other fandoms. Deep in another rewatch, I thought there’s got to be some amazing fic out there for arguably one of the greatest shows of all time & here I am - potentially attempting to devour the MTT archive in its entirety?
If I manage to stop reading for long enough, I may attempt to add a few ideas of my own. Time will tell.
Edit May 19: Understandably, I've fallen head over heels with this archive and all that it offers. I've started a Fic Rec Friday thread on Twitter, where I enthuse about the many stories that have brought me joy. So, I'm just putting it out there if you'd like to stop by and have a look. I'm also super open if you have any suggestions that you think should be added/are must reads...

There sits that bag of chips, on the passenger seat, to remind her of him, of his skin, and of the things that need to be fixed in her life.
What if Pam reacted much sooner than Casino Night?
Set after S02 E06, The Fight.
Jim is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet-to-Be. Because I watch too much A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life every December. Set during "Dwight Christmas" in Season 9 for the 2018 Secret Santa Fic Exchange.
I own nothing here. Concepts and characters go to Greg Daniels, Charles Dickens, and Frank Capra.
An office party is not an excuse to get really drunk, or confront someone, or have a cathartic experience of any kind.
Also, Pam won't tell Jim what her favorite Christmas song is.
Jim and Pam, Hallmark(tm) movie style. Set in the S2 Christmas break (after the Christmas party, before the Booze Cruise). Canon-compliant until then, though with my own interpretation of how that break went, but it's a Hallmark Christmas movie so we all know how it's going to end.
For the 2018 Secret Santa fiction exchange.
Jim brings Pam home for Thanksgiving.It's been a while since Pam's been on a date. Good thing Jim's there talks her through her first few attempts.
NOW COMPLETE! Jim gets in an accident on June 10, and Pam gets to help. Only AU in that it deviates from main timeline between S2 and S3 (no different worldbuilding premise).
Disclaimer: I do not own the Office or its IP.
In which Jim and Pam work through their communication issues...in a way. A sexy way. A reimagining of the S3 episode The Return.**NOW COMPLETE!!**
Jim receives a peculiar call from Pam in the middle of the night that slowly turns into a habit for the pair.
Multi-Chapter, set after Booze Cruise.
Based loosely on the lyrics to "Wake Me Up" by Billy Currington (wait, I'm writing a fic based on a song?!? Who would've thought? ;)
Pam's ten year high school reunion is coming up, and she's not sure she's up for it. So she reaches out to someone who might help her get through it.
AU: Dunder Mifflin and the characters are real, but subject to a media and internet blackout about their own show. Pam gets suspicious when a simple search for "jam" returns an error code saying it is related to the show.
Set somewhere vaguely in an AU S2.
Pam decides to write angry letters without sending them. Or, well, the modern equivalent thereof. A fun little romp of a story!
AU: Canon divergence. Pam doesn't get back together with Roy in season 3. She leaves the wedding when he asks her to dance. They are not together for her art show. They don't go to Poor Richard's, she doesn't tell him about the kiss with Jim, and he never tries to attack Jim in the office.
No one's ever had a crush on her as far as she knows. Roy, maybe, but that was so long ago it doesn't feel like it even counts.Takes place during “The Merger”. A couple of alternative scenarios that result after Pam asks Jim out for coffee.
