Set late(ish) -S3, possibly after Cocktails/The Negotiation (post Pam splitting up with Roy mk.II)
A bit steamy and a bit sweary at points.
Not Time Travel but Time Travel adjacent.
A kind of fantasy in reverse – Pam wakes up to find herself in an alternate life without Jim, her children and much of the self-worth she found being in love with and by him. Could she find it again with Jim gone from Dunder Mifflin and without him could she break free from Roy to get back to her other life?

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*

I own nothing outside of a bad case of creative insomnia, a caffeine addiction, a need to dissociate and relax with The Office and a passion for social work.
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.
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.
It's 2022 and Pam has found herself in square one of the relationship game: single. Or, square two: single and ready to mingle. Lonely and ready to move on, Pam finds herself seeking companionship while she's away from home - just not a full-on relationship so soon after her previous one.
Oh what's that, a new match?
Moving on is not easy, nor pretty.
A little over 15 years after Casino Night and Jim's move to Stamford, Pam bumps into him. (AU)
Who knew a TV show could mean so much?
An unexpected threat surfaces, testing Jim and Pam's deepening bond in ways neither could have anticipated. Just how far do they need to go to outrun their troubles? How far can they go?
AU: Cameras, cameras everywhere, with a far more sinister purpose. Set in a dystopian version of America. The people aren't taking it lying down!
*Book 3 in the Freedom First trilogy. This story picks up after Safety First. If you haven't read the series, this installment may fall short of sensical.*
Jim missing Cece's recital is what makes Pam realize she's falling back into her old ways. She's accepting things she doesn't want to accept and not standing up for herself like she should. She decides she needs to find herself again before her and Jim can be happy.
Loosely based off of Grow As We Go by Ben Platt
"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."
An exploration of Angela Martin.

3 Pam's monotonous days of living in New York with her longtime boyfriend are broken up by the friendship she forms with Jim, who she meets in a coffee shop. This is the story of their friendship, told through a list of what he gave her.
Continuation of Elliptical Orbits, can be read as a standalone
Coffee Shop AU one-shot
Jim and Pam meet one fateful day at a local coffee shop, and for Jim, everything changes as they strike up a friendship.
Two months after her husband dies, Pam receives a gift from him that helps her in more ways than she could ever imagine. Now it’s four years later and she’s finally ready to start dating again, but just like everything else in her life, it gets a little messy.
AU based off of The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. If you’ve read the book, this plotline will be pretty similar while still incorporating characters/references/small plotlines of The Office as well as possibly my own little twists.
Beth the waitress returns!
A series of stand alone, slice of life, one-shots in Pam and Jim's life, all tied together with the thread that runs through them; they all end with dinner at Christopher's, where (in my headcanon) they had their first date.
The first and the last chapter NOW COMPLETE work in tandem, but everything in between is its own story if you want to pop in for one whose title strikes your fancy.
Pam has always wanted to spend Chanukah somewhere warm.
So it's a good thing then that Roy just bought two tickets to sunny California!
Or, as it happens, not.
