Jim reaches an important and final decision that started from a simple lunch break with Pam in the break room.
Takes places during Conflict Resolution, and is canon compliant.
Jim returns to Scranton from Stamford in a world where Karen doesn't exist. Pam wants to pick up where they left off on Casino Night but Jim tells her he's done all the pursuing so far, and he'd like be pursued (read: seduced). "Give me a reason to come back."
Inspired by the Taylor Swift song "I Think He Knows".
Pam reflecting on her life.
Post Casino Night.
“What was the point of secrets anymore, for three years he had kept this inside hoping it would fade but could only feel it getting stronger. Pam would reject him, Jim knew that, but at least he could say he was honest.” An alternate take on Casino Night.
The darkest timeline post Company Picnic.
AU from “Negotiations”; Roy isn’t in the mood for closure. Pam suffers the consequences and rises from the ashes, while Jim tries to find his way back to her.
'He thought that one day when things were finally right between them, he would tell her about this evening, and the painting, and the sun in her hair. But this day hadn’t come yet.'
Set before the seasons (and in AU).
Pam lets Roy take her home after Phyllis’ Wedding.
Sometimes you just listen to Tegan and Sara’s entire discography, get lost in your feels about early Grey’s (particularly that time Meredith slept with George) and write this…
"When you're a kid, you assume your parents are soulmates. My kids are gonna be right about that."
Pam on soulmates and finding her person.
He's scared to face his future. She's struggling with her past. Two brokenhearted strangers. One night in New York City.

The summer after her 16th birthday everything comes crashing down. Pam's life as she knew it begins to change. The perfect cocoon of a life she had originally had begins to crumble.
"This morning, phone guy comes in, and he shows Michael that our phones have a PA function... and then he just, left..."
Pam thinks of Jim.
Set somewhere in the midst of Season 2.
A young Pam feels trapped in a vicious cycle of flashbacks and fighting for her life. She recounts where it all went wrong until someone breaks her out of her trance.
An AU that may be pretty far-fetched and my first fic for The Office!
