by NobleLandMermaid
- Recommended by Kizuna Tallis
- Status: Complete

Moving On My Mind, or Five or So Reasons Roy Is in No Hurry to Get Married by TrisB
- Recommended by Kizuna Tallis
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Roy had his reasons for not being in a rush to get married.
- 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.

Sleepover by dollsome
- Recommended by Pardoxia
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Michael decides to have a sleepover at the office. Shenanigans ensue.
- 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”.
The Miseducation of Michael Scott by Bears Eat Beets and Halloween Jack 138
- Recommended by Pardoxia
- Status: Complete
- 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.
- 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.
Borneo by Sophia_Helix
- Recommended by Nicodemus
- Status: Complete
- 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.
- Pairing(s): Pam/Jim. It's typical early Pam/Jim though.
- 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.
