10	''[[https://www.archiveofourown.org/works/5154896 Five Times Karen Knew (It'd Never Work with Jim)]]'' by [=NobleLandMermaid=]
11	* Recommended by Tropers/KizunaTallis
12	* '''Status''': Complete
13	* '''Synopsis''': There were five instances where Karen knew she and Jim were doomed to begin with.
14	* '''Comments''': A sympathetic exploration of a character who was an obvious romantic false lead and her own feelings on the situation she was placed in.

16	''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/315975 Moving On My Mind, or Five or So Reasons Roy Is in No Hurry to Get Married]]'' by [=TrisB=]
17	* Recommended by Tropers/KizunaTallis
18	* '''Status''': Complete
19	* '''Synopsis''': Roy had his reasons for not being in a rush to get married.
20	* '''Comments''': A well-written look at the disposable fiance of the series. It's really easy to hate on Roy and turn him into a one-dimensional jerk, but this story gives a real feeling of sympathy to the reasons he had for dragging his feet on his and Pam's wedding.

22	''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/686822 Sacred]]'' by klutzy_girl
23	* Recommended by Tropers/KizunaTallis
24	* '''Status''': Complete
25	* '''Synopsis''': Angela wants to be happy with Dwight, but she can't. Unlike her husband, her vows mean something to her.
26	* '''Comments''': An exploration of Angela's emotional state through Season 9 that feels true to her character while making her rigid personality a point of real sympathy.

28	''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/236243 Sleepover]]'' by dollsome
29	* Recommended by Pardoxia
30	* '''Status''': Complete
31	* '''Synopsis''': Michael decides to have a sleepover at the office. Shenanigans ensue.
32	* '''Comments''': It truly feels like you're reading a script from The Office. It's funny, it's sad, it captures the spirit of the show perfectly. For context, it takes place in between 5x07 “Business Trip” and 5x08 “Frame Toby”.

34	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4555810/1/The-Miseducation-of-Michael-Scott The Miseducation of Michael Scott]]'' by Bears Eat Beets and Halloween Jack 138
35	* Recommended by Pardoxia
36	* '''Status''': Complete
37	* '''Synopsis''': Michael wants to learn the true meaning of being African-American. Meanwhile, Dwight hires Pam to illustrate his independent comic. Cringeworthy humor at its finest.
38	* '''Comments''': A highly recommended fic if you want to see Stanley try to avoid one of Michael's shenanigans only to end up getting caught up in it further. Everybody's in character and, much like the author(s) stated, there is some fantastically agonizing cringe-worthy humor in it.

42	''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/201521 Borneo]]'' by Sophia_Helix
43	* Recommended by Nicodemus
44	* '''Status''': Complete
45	* '''Synopsis''': The Office takes up exercise and online gaming. Pam is out sick, and Jim leaves a lot of voice mails. Takes place right after Casino Night.
46	* '''Pairing(s)''': Pam/Jim. It's typical early Pam/Jim though.
47	* '''Comments''': Amazing. Incredible. Unbelievable. I could use a lot of words to describe this, but I'm pretty sure you get the point. Captures the characters perfectly, and Jim's voicemails get more and more desperately funny in a way that is totally realistic and in tune with the character. And Michael. Just Michael.

50	* Recommended by Tropers/KizunaTallis
51	* '''Status:''' Complete
52	* '''Synopsis:''' AU, post "The Job". Karen's reeling from her break-up with Jim. Andy becomes a surprising source of support.
53	* '''Pairing(s):''' Andy/Karen, background mentions of Jim/Pam.
54	* '''Comments:''' A very unusual pairing that is written in a way that feels very believable and true to the characters while being extremely sweet at the same time.
