And Harder Still to Make Noise by Sophia Helix (NC-17)

Fandom: THE OFFICE
Pairing: Pam/Roy, Pam/Jim
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sophia_helix
Author Website: into the heart...
Why this must be read:

If there's a definitive Pam fic in the fandom, this is probably it. Pam's whole life history, tangible and real, and Sophia has such a knack for getting inside her head, illuminating the three-dimensional details of her life, with Roy, with Jim, with herself. The sheer scope of it is kind of breathtaking, and definitely memorable. And the way it builds and builds puts everything that happened in "Casino Night" in a whole new perspective -- which is an impressive feat in this fandom.

"He’s been in love with her all along. She hasn’t quite gotten that until now. He liked her when she first started, and he’s kept being her friend because he had a crush on her, and whatever he told Michael, it must have been about how he feels now. In love with her. He’s been waiting, hoping for something to happen, for her to notice him. That makes her feel good and angry at last, with him for being so hopeful and so passive, with herself for being so blind."
