Spring Cleaning by fearlessfan (PG)
Fandom: THE OFFICE
Pairing: Jim/Pam, ensemble
Author on LJ:

Author Website: curiousity slowdown
Why this must be read: This is so good it reads like an episode: post-Casino Night, Michael makes everyone clean each other's desks. The ensemble stuff is hilarious, and the Jim/Pam is perfectly heart-wrenching and sweet and smart.
fearlessfan captures the awkwardness between them and the tangible minutiae of office life -- favorite pens, memos, Free Cell -- in a way that advances the plot before you even realize what's happening. Plus the Michael/Ryan(/Kelly) parts are to die for.
"Creed likes Kelly's desk. It's isolated. He finds four dollars in loose change in the top drawer and takes seventy-five cents (enough for peanut butter crackers, not enough to arouse real suspicion). He finds an envelope of pictures in the second desk drawer and pulls out the ones featuring attractive girls (there are several). He spends the rest of the day making long-distance phone calls and trying out the pens in Kelly's desk to find the best ones to take with him when he leaves (he takes four)."
