She sits on the couch and cries. Until she hears a knock at the door.

An Office Prequel from Jim's perspective (at least mostly). 

James Halpert starts his first day at Dunder-Mifflin just to earn a paycheck. Little does he know that accepting a job as a paper salesman would change his life more than he ever thought possible.  

When the secrets of one employee cost the others twelve hours of peril, locked in the office under a hostage situation, true colors begin to shine through. 

Essentially taking the General Hospital Metro Court hostage crisis from 2007 and pretending it happened in The Office, so if you've seen it, some plot lines will probably give you nostalgia... :)

It's been a while since Pam's been on a date. Good thing Jim's there talks her through her first few attempts. 

NOW COMPLETE! Jim gets in an accident on June 10, and Pam gets to help. Only AU in that it deviates from main timeline between S2 and S3 (no different worldbuilding premise).

Disclaimer: I do not own the Office or its IP.

Pam shows Jim the power a good woman can have when all the chips are down. 

AU: Approximately seven months post-Diwali, if Jim's little drunk-biking incident had been witnessed by a police officer.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Suicidal ideation, references to past sexual abuse.
