Takes place inside/after The Negotiation..pretty much AU after that, but pulls in themes from Beach Games.

Lots of inspiration from Everything by Lifehouse

TW: violence, swearing, domestic violence…a VERY different version of what happened after Roy tried to hit Jim.  If you have been through interpersonal violence, or experience anxiety & panic, please go gently here.  

100% there will be good stuff as we go...hence the spicy warnings...but in the beginning, it is going to be BUMPY.

In the beginning, each chapter will switch POV, and it will most certainly be Jim/Pam POV, with minimal potential for others. Then the chapters will be longer and shared POV.

*Please, be gentle and kind with yourselves, if you choose to read*

Below are a few resources, but if you are a victim of DV and need resources...please hit me up on the Discord group...I am more than happy to help you with additional resources.

THE APOCOLYPSE 

An ‘THE OFFICE’ characters and ‘THE QUIET PLACE’ plot fanfic, a homogeneous mixture of horror, humor, and hysterics. Main Romantic Pairing(s): Jim/Pam, Dwight/Angela 

++ ‘ If this is the apocalypse then where is my action hero?’ She signs, quizzical.

 ‘ Please, action heroes are fake Hollywood garbage. We should be looking for the villain.’ 

 ‘ They always survive.’ Dwight says, his signs ending with harsh, pointed movements.

‘ Shut up Dwight, the only villain here is your furniture choices. Like–beige with hard oak? Ugh!’ Kelly emphasizes with a roll of her eyes. ++

Happy Reading!

I have been suck into a reddit rabbit hole for a while now and I thought what if the people from the Office write in one of this forums? And this is what I came out with. A series of stand alone stories from most of the DM caracthers seeking advice from strangers on the internet to figure out if they are the AH, or some relationship advice, or how to deal with annoying coworkers, you know, all the fun things. 

Just like in true reddit form, I'm gonna change names, ages, and even genders in some of this stories, and lets see if with the limited context they give us, you think that they are indeed the AH. 

A series of second  impressions (and some sneaky firsts) during significant moments of JAM. Earning my stripes through the unwritten rule that everyone new to writing this fandom must write this kind of story. 

"Her father was trying to make her into the person God wanted her to be. It was her own fault that she was never good enough for either of them."
