Sometimes things happen in life that make people stop and wonder what it is they really want. The truth can be painful, or it can be exhilarating. Story starts in the present but ventures off into AU.
In the end, it is never, never giving up.
[Post Cocktails]
A shockingly accurate post-cocktails fic written during the hainous. Jim rebuffs Pam's apologies and while distraught at the grocery store she meets a handsome stranger who catches Karen's eye too.
EPILOGUE ADDED :) STORY FINISHED! I had to change it to Explicit Sexual Content so avoid the epilogue if that isn't really your thing.
Jim and Pam are good buddies. Jim helps her with her two problems: work and Roy. But what if she didn't have those problems? What would happen if they didn't have Dunder Mifflin in common?
A/U story. Basically, fluff, friendship and...romance? Spoilers for all seasons (sort of).
Jim and Pam reconnect. No Spoilers.
Pam comes clean at the Laudromat, which in case you didn't know is quite the hotbed of romance. :) Post-Cocktails fic.
He gathers up enough resolve to ask her what's wrong, bracing himself for I thought you said it was a long time ago.
Set post-The Secret.
Post "Ben Franklin," pre "Phyllis's Wedding." AU in the sense that...well, things go differently here between Jim and Pam than they went on the show.
This is what I'd wish for.
Also - this is a completed story.
What inspires Pam when she's painting?
