Written for office_romances, post season one.
Kelly is really and truly done crying over Ryan, and she knows it because she’s gone to the MAC counter at Nordstrom and bought herself a new lipgloss, and she didn’t think once about what Ryan would think when he saw her wearing it. It’s a frosted purply-plum called “Tres Cher!” It sounds like something a model would wear in a Vogue photoshoot, striking a pose in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Bright is not stupid. He isn’t. He isn’t. Things just . . . have a way of slipping out of his head. Take history, for example. Columbus discovered America in 1492. In 2002, Bright Abbott rushed one hundred and forty yards in the second-to-last game of the season, adding insult to the other team’s injury, and helped bring about a spectacular, fiery win.

Set pre-series.
Lilly is six years old and Duncan a bit younger. Dad takes them to Las Vegas to see the Cirque du Soleil. It’s amazing! Lilly loves the bareback rider and the sinuous, sparkling acrobats. She vows to her dad that she’s going to join the circus as soon as she’s old enough. He laughs and buys her another cotton candy.
In the middle of the show, a man stands in the center ring. He wears a top hat and a light shines down on him. He juggles swords and melons, firebrands, glass spheres as airy as bubbles. There is nothing to juggling, decides Lilly. You just have to keep all your torches in the air.

Set post s1, for office_romances: Roy & Toby.
Roy marries Pam in June, but by December she is gone; his safe, reliable girl morphed into a cold, unforgiving woman who packs up her clothes while he’s at the bar and leaves for parts unknown. No note, no nothing. He calls her parents and they tell him she’s in New York and that she doesn’t want to see him. In March, the divorce papers arrive. He signs them.

Set post-s1 finale
At five a.m. three days after his football team takes the state championship, Matt Saracen gropes clumsily for the ringing phone. He knows who it is; it’s the only person who always, always, gets the time difference wrong between Texas and Iraq.
“H’lo! Hello!” he says into the phone as loudly as he can without waking his Grandma (who should be used to weird early morning calls but somehow isn’t, and has a tendency to get confused and sometimes cry, so Matt tries to answer the phone on the second ring and be as coherent as he can, be a man about the whole thing). “Dad! Hello!”

one-half: love is hell
This is what she might have done: forgotten the white dress and the veil, the sharp trap that is marriage. Flung open the window to the Caribbean breeze. Spread out her arms and lain on the blond island sand, bottle of rum in hand, and never set those trees on fire.

set before 1×20, “Drug Testing,” when Dwight turns in his uniform.
The office is a hotbed of intrigue. Dwight knows that behind every corner and in every drawer, people are keeping secrets. He can feel it when he walks by; the whispers follow him everywhere. Secrets need to be made known. Secret-keepers need to be found out — just, not yet.

Written for Silverdime in the Yuletide 2004 challenge.
There was once a girl who dressed in red tights and wanted to be a fashion designer. That girl grew up and got balls, though. Now she’s a hardass CIA director and she wears black suits. She’s had the same haircut for five years. The window of her office is scrupulously clean and overlooks roofs of other buildings. Her files are alphabetized.
That girl’s been all over the world and she hasn’t seen anyplace she wants to stay.

Written for office_romances. Angela & Bob Vance.
2001. Scranton Marriott. Jesus Saves revival meeting.
Inside the conference room, the air is stifling and Angela fans herself with her hymnal just so she won’t fall over. Finally the minister has addressed something of concern to her, and she isn’t going to leave now.
