Oh my god, this was the sweetest, and I loved the way you dealt with Andy/Angela in this, because, yes, that's exactly it. (I should not still be sad over that, right?)

But, Andy! And Oscar, and the Finer Things Club, and the absolute perfect level of sweetness vs awkwardness in Andy/Erin. AND OSCAR WATCHED A MANDY MOORE MOVIE, I FEEL LIKE KELLY WOULD SHARE MY JOY IN KNOWING THAT.

Thank you, buddy!

I should not still be sad over that, right?

Yes you should! We ALL SHOULD! The neglect of Angela in general this season is bumming me out (seriously, has she done anything besides stand in the background and occasionally offer typical Angela-style disapproving remarks?), but gosh, I would have loved to see some actual fall-out and relationship rebuilding in terms of the whole Season 5 Triangle o' Death. It's like, they had this insane breakup and they still have to see each other every day at work! Not everyone has the glory to flee to Utica like Karen! SHOW US SOME FALLOUT, TELEVISION PROGRAM!

... or, er, you know, I could just ... write ... some fanfictions. My issues, they are copious & overly emotional!

I STILL LOVE THIS. I also love that simply saying "Andy Bernard" sparks an entire fic. I am full of such inspiring thoughts!

THANK YOU! :D Your inspiring thoughts are much appreciated for always, milady!

Oh! This was so great - your Andy voice is PERFECT. I loved it!

Thank you so much! :D

Confession: I loathe A Walk to Remember (Mandy Moore, why do you wound me so? You are so cute otherwise!). But man, this almost makes that film's existence worthwhile. Angela being kind (she was being kind at the end there, right?, subtly helping Andy with his EPIC wooing of Erin), Oscar being discerning about literature, Andy breaking my heart ("Crippling Despair, 25. Nard 'Dog, 0" = TOO SAD). I like that I don't have to watch the office anymore, I just read your fic instead.

(NGL, I'm a little conflicted - how do I choose between Oscar/Andy and Erin/Andy? Too cruel.)

ALSO have you seen the POTTER MUSICAL announcement?!

I remember seeing A Walk To Remember and being VASTLY DISAPPOINTED because middle school me held that book in such high regard! I do not think I've ever read anything else by The Sparks that didn't make my soul want to hurl a little bit, but I still have an embarrassing fondness for that little book. Which is my long off topic way of saying HEY, THANKS FOR READING!

And yes! YES! YES I SURE HAVE!!!! Omg, Voldie and Quirrell better own that stage with their legendary bro love!!!

Oh man, oh my robot insides, oh my soul, oh the dark abyss of my heart!!!

I think you won me over completely here:

Crippling Despair, 25. Nard 'Dog, 0, sings out a little voice in his head.

ANDY BERNARD, YOU SAD, WONDERFUL LITTLE MAN, YOU.

What a TOTAL SURPRISE that this fic is like a Celine Dion love ballad FOR MY SOUL. Only NOT. You put my heart through the ringer, lady (But this right here, her looking up at him all petite and soft and sweet, that little smile on her lips -- that's why. For awhile, he went through a phase where, man, he would do anything to get that smile.), and then brought it all around to such sweetness. And hilarity (There's a long, awkward silence. Andy's about to start whistling Halo).

ERIN. I WANT TO HATE HER FOR INTERRUPTING, BUT. I CAN'T. (Okay, I can a little bit, but it's not enough that I would key her car or anything. It's just enough that I have these WORDS.)

(Well done inserting some Oscar/Andy interaction, too, you clever person, you!)

(WELL DONE ALL AROUND. PARENTHETICAL APPROVAL, WHAT UP!)

(I RESPOND TO YOUR PARENTHETICAL APPROVAL WITH SOME PARENTHETICAL THANKS OF MY VERY OWN! ALL IN THESE OBNOXIOUSLY CAPPED CAPS! I DON'T KNOW! I CAN'T BE STOPPED! IN SHORT: this made me feel like there should probably be an Angela fic wherein she is sad and lonely and she and Dwight have this most peculiar unkillable distance between them, and she maybe goes on some dates with a perfectly acceptable gentleman from church, but she is lonely and sad and she is eventually driven to regret the fact that she ruined things with Andy, and meanwhile he does things like woo Erin with, okay, lots of violent birds, but also twelve drummers drumming, and there is a spark, there is a flicker of Where Did I Go Wrong in Angela Noelle Martin's cold dead heart! Like, this should be a thing, right? Canon 'til someone tells me otherwise!!)
