Megan, may we have an awesome blossom, please? Extra awesome.
You must know by now that I think The Office is teh bestest thing evah. But what awesome-y thing about the show can I rec to you? Besides the show itself, of course.
Oh my God, you guys. Awesome Office fanfiction. You can keep up with new fic via scranton_times, courtesy of maintainers kyrafic and annakovsky. And here are some of my all-time favorites, by category.
Are you emotionally drained by the Jim/Pam drama-palooza of Season 3? Are you missing the light, airy and sweet fun of their S1-S2 relationship a la The Alliance, Office Olympics, Halloween, or Drug Testing? Dammit, you just want those kids to work it out!
June, by unfold (aka broken__records)
Spring Cleaning by fearlessfan (also a great ensemble fic)
I’m not sure if this gem has a title, but I refer to it as the “Elevator” series, by honey_wheeler (part 4 also belongs in the BONUS category below)
Pack Up Your Bags, It’s Never Too Late! by kyrafic and annakovsky
Maybe you’re the type who feels better about her own life when she’s reading about characters with uber-angst. Or perhaps you’re simply a sadist.
Nothing Better by obsession_inc
Hope by nomadshan (AU’s aren’t my bag, baby, but this story is set in the Depression era and just blows me away. Which is hard, because I’m not feather-light, yo)
And Harder Still to Make Noise by sophia_helix (delicious Pam-angst from way before all the cool kids -- like the actual writers on the show -- were doing it; totally belongs in the BONUS category, too)
Do you love the characters so much that it doesn’t matter what the pairing is (or whether there even is a pairing!), as long as the story is well-written and perfectly in character?
Five Stories Kelly Kapoor Never Told by winter_baby (Kelly, various)
Hung Up, or The Mysterious Absence of the Dundies in Season Three by dollsome(Michael/Jan)
may faith stand firm by miss_bennie (aka Code Name Remax) (Angela/Ryan!!!)
So Much Better on My Own, or Five Things Pam Learns When She Moves into Her New Apartment by darastar (Pam)
Spring Cleaning (again) by fearlessfan
Five Reasons Pam is So Hot, by Jim Halpert and by Kevin Malone by greenfish-- there is not enough Kevin fic in the world.
Burden of Proof by daygloparker -- brilliant Dwight POV
Life During Wartime by honey_wheeler -- another perfect Dwight POV. Dwight/Madge from the warehouse
Here's a special category for other Andy devotées like myself.
Free Break by obsessive_inc (kind of a Stamford-ensemble; very slight, blink-and-you-miss-it Jim/Karen).
Five Highs and Lows in Andy and Karen's Rollercoastery Friendship written for yankeeficswap by agate
Crossing the Line by annakovsky
The warning_labels series, wherein Jim & Pam are doing it all throughout S2. Guuuuh. It’s a collaborative effort starting with miss honey_wheeler’s Caution: Do Not Use on Bare Skin
Things Jim Can’t Remember by annakovsky (Jim/Mark, Jim/Pam)
Tumbler by nomadshan (Jim/Josh)
An Office/Arrested Development crossover!
The Life and Times of a Temporary Employee by kyrafic, GOB/Kelly. This fic is basically everything that is awesome.
