Set in season 3 rather than season 8, Jim discovers he has high-blood pressure, and things only decline from there.
And yes, the title is a Mitski reference, because her music is everything.
Sometime in the distant future, the UN intercepts a message from a planet sixteen lightyears away. You, Dr. Jim Halpert, are one of the world’s leading anthropologists, specializing in interspecies communication. You have been chosen to make the journey to the source of the message, the third planet from the star Altair. Along with you are captain and veteran astronaut Michael Scott, engineer and astronaut Dwight Schrute, and cosmologist Dr. Pam Beesly. With ten possible endings, choose your own story as you travel through the galaxy, and maybe find love along the way. Inspired by a Choose Your Own Adventure™ children’s book of the same name by Edward Packard.
Au, where Pam never dated Roy and once she left high school, she got an art degree. But she still becomes a receptionist at Dunder Mifflin, but in Stamford.
When the Stamford branch closes, she is offered a position in Scranton, which she accepts. This is where she develops a crush on the handsome salesman, Jim who is in a long term relationship with saleswoman, Karen.
Pam needs very little time to know how she feels about Jim and what she needs to do to fix the mistake she just made. But things never go as planned for these two, do they?
This is my first ever writing. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
What will Pam and Jim take to remember the other when Jim goes to Stamford? And who will influence their separation along the way? And why am I feeling the need for some angsty-ness?
Starts out between Season 2/3
Following a crushing showing at the art exhibition, Pam is offered a new path forward by her instructor. Finding confidence and a renewed sense of self worth, she is afforded the opportunity to break free from an oppressive and toxic environment. What happens when Jim stumbles intor this alternative life and witnesses her growth firsthand? (Late Season 3 - AU)
UPDATE 4/6 - Marked Complete - see story notes for a message of explanation and gratitude.
What happened after Jim "struck gold" during his job interview in New York (season 3 finale) and before Pam went mining for celebrity sex tapes (season 4 opener), this chapter by chapter WIP has the story told through many points of view - none of them from the documentary film crew.
Pam and Jim had many missed opportunities but fate still brought them together. On Valentine's Day they realize the first missed opportunity was much earlier when they were just 13 years old at a mutual friend's Bat Mitzvah. An AU like story based in canon.
No copyright infringement intended. All I own is a love of these characters.
Michael inadvertently attempts to smooth things over between Pam and Jim. Who would want two of their very best friends to be miserable after all?
Set after The Convention.
"This morning, phone guy comes in, and he shows Michael that our phones have a PA function... and then he just, left..."
Loosely set between S03E11, "Back from vacation" and S03E12, "Traveling Salesmen".
It's that magical Friday again, but Michael is too busy trying to improve his morale with the warehouse guys. And he is not afraid of bringing the big guns. After all, what could go wrong?
