Wow. Just..woooww. This fic was perfectly and beautifully written. All Characters were spot. on. Each talking head was perfect, I think I laughed out loud at most all of them. And now, since I'm a procrastinator for my technology project, I will tell you my favorite thing from each month::

Pam squeezes the frosting tube in her hand so hard that the gingerbread man she's working on had an inexplicable yellow lump instead of a button. "Jim?"
Then later..
Her hands are shaking so hard they spread the blob out worse, so she makes it into a tie.
Um yeah, that was perfectly Pam.

We have previously contacted one Dwight Schrute, but as his anonymity was compromised, we look to you and the training you received at Cornell to help save America.
Of course. Because Andy + Cornell = saving the world.

Jim watches her go and takes a sip of his coffee, wondering when exactly he became the guy who didn't do anything on Valentine's Day. You know - that guy.
Awww. Poor Jim. I mean...Karen.

Karen straightens up and squares her ( ... )

Oh, man, I love this like crazy. There are so many little things that delighted me about it throughout that I'm totally going to have to go back through and find them all. :-D

Okay! Here we go!

-Andy's New Year's Resolution. Bwahaha. So perfect.

-Karen's talking head was absolutely heartbreaking, in the most wonderfully understated of ways. I absolutely love how you handled her and her relationship with Jim here -- so sad. Jim accidentally turning into pre-bearded Roy just kills me.

-That horrible, heartbreaking scene in the bathroom between Pam and Karen. It honestly filled me with an overpowering sense of "Nooo, Karen! Don't leave us!" I have gotten unnaturally attached to her.

-Bwahaha, Pam and Jim messing around on April Fool's Day! That possibility had never occurred to me before, but oh, it's too perfect. I love Stanley being irritated about his keyboard, and Creed not knowing what it is. Oh, Creed.

-For a second or two, he forgets to not be in love with her. Siiiigh ( ... )

This? Is amaaaaazing.

I don't really have more words than that. Your characterizations are just perfect, and I love, love, love that you have included pretty much every character ever in this story.

And this line: "...but she gives him a hard, fake smile and goes to shred things, and he knows better than to follow her." KILLS me for some reason.

I'll probably add more when my brain is working better and I've read this a hundred more times. For now - thank you!

I really enjoyed this! Lots of nice little touches, and a believeable progression. Also, ha ha to "the large of her back."
