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.

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. 

She had spent her whole life trying to put it into words.

What if Jim didn’t forget his umbrella?

An alternate look at season 9.

Somewhere between Casino Night and Gay Witch Hunt. Pam's honest thoughts over her feelings for Jim, and he leaving for Stamford, as she's parked in front of his former apartment.

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
