hahahahahaha!!!! HOW did you come up with this one! Awesome job! Bacon grease? Good lord... you are the Dwight master. Explaining torture to Sasha! Geez. I'm incoherent. Oh man. So many brilliant Schrute touches - the analysis of the light situation (he never goes the most obvious route, does he??), the response to Sasha's drawings, the Red Vine thought process... Well done. I salute you. And I'm still laughing...

HOW did you come up with this one!

Well, I looked at the elements, and red vines & a goldfish clearly indicated a kid of some sort, and Angela & medieval torture devices clearly indicated Dwight, and somehow the Time magazine thing got tied in with what we know of Dwight's before-hours routine from "The Return", so, yeah.

I'm delighted that you liked it, and even more so that you found it so funny! Yay, thank you!

GAH! Why don't I have a Dwight icon to salute this momentous occasion?! I loved this SO much! Who knew if you paired these two in a story together it would come out so brilliantly? Loved this line: Dwight is pleased by the small girl's fierce attitude, although her artistic abilities still leave much to be desired. Ahahah, I can only imagine what will happen when Dwight has offspring of his own.

Seriously! Especially if he has them with Angela! Oh, man, this bodes ill for humanity. One thing we know, though: those kids will enjoy beets.

Glad you enjoyed it!

this is just wonderful! I love that Dwight distributes the newspapers to the people who want to read them, and how he takes care of the office, and how he feels responsible for Sasha, and just, oh. It's always nice to see the milder side of Dwight, and this is just so sweetly perfect.

Aww, thanks! I was completely bowled over by "The Return", especially all the scenes showing Dwight taking care of all the little things at the office; he's so quietly determined and loyal and sweet, in such an off-kilter way! I was worrying for a while that I'd have to figure out some way to make Dwight decide that he was responsible for feeding this kid, and then I realized-- no, I don't; Dwight just IS responsible, because he's DWIGHT.

Again, I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

Okay, this just wins in every way possible. First, it has Sasha, who is the cutest little girl in the history of...everything, and also it has Dwight AND Sasha. Her interactions with him (and vice versa) were so sweet and funny, and oh, I love Dwight.

THIS! Dwight is pleased by the small girl's fierce attitude, although her artistic abilities still leave much to be desired.

I'm dying over how much that sounds like him. I am all kinds of happy right now after reading this. It's something that I never, ever imagined I'd ever read, because, Dwight and Sasha?

But it's so perfect. Amazing job!

It's something that I never, ever imagined I'd ever read, because, Dwight and Sasha?

I know!! I never even thought of such a thing before the elements seemed to indicate that they should both end up in the story, and then I thought about it and I was like, "DUDE." They're totally two great things that go great together! Dwight Schrute and Sasha Flenderson: THEY FIGHT CRIME!

I'm so glad to hear that I pulled it off, and, more, that you enjoyed it! Thanks!

I'd bet money he has at least entertained the thought.

And yes, this is TOTALLY his idea of appropriate child care. In a way, it's not bad! He asks questions, he teaches, he feeds the kid. All the basics are covered!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I thought of you when I wrote this morning's Improv!fic, just so you know. :-)
