Title says it all.

This started as a short little oneshot in response to the All About a Peripheral Character challenge, but some very kind reviewers mentioned it might be cool to continue with this idea. So here it is, the new and improved story of the other Jim and Pam :o)

How does Hunter, Jan's former personal assistant (and I guess Ryan's current assistant), relate to our favorite office? Well, let's just say he's a lot like Jim...

Takes place after "The Job". 

Jim has finally asked Pam out on a date. What happens now? This story follows their relationship as it develops throughout the summer, and shows how the rest of Dunder Mifflin reacts to both this and other recent changes in their lives.

This is along the same lines as my other Away From the Cameras, in the sense that I'm exploring scenes that might have happened off-camera (or simply those that we didn't get to see).

A few things: First, I'm working on the assumption that a lot of what I wrote in the AFtC for season II stands (though I likely won't reference any of it here), up until Casino Night.  (Clearly I was quite off about what happened after the kiss...heh.)

Second, there will be flashbacks filling in the blanks of what happened immediately after CN (how long did Jim work? how did he and Pam ultimately leave things? how did she end things with Roy? how did Jim find out about her cancelling the wedding?); the flashbacks will happen largely in the chapters pre-merger (to keep things interesting for Jim/Pam fans during their physical separation).  

It's Valentines Day. Creed has been invited to a poker party. Now if he could just find it....

The tale of Gentle Pamela and Hansome James aboard the pirate ship Dunder Mifflinia. May contain some bodice ripping and lots of pillaging.

"Once we had finished the season, we knew.  We had the ultimate prank," Pam said breathlessly.

"A way to make Dwight Schrute believe that his world had been turned upside down, that superpowers really do exist, and that Dunder-Mifflin was hiding a secret so huge that it would stop at nothing to keep it hidden.”

Self-explanatory....Begins with his first lunch out with Pam (a follow-up to my first ever fic, "Pam's First Day at Dunder-Mifflin"), ends with his and Pam's first REAL date. Hopefully, by the time the last chapter is written, the frenzy of JAM first date stories will have died down, and mine won't be too redundant.

No spoilers in chapter 1.
