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*

There's always a sequel, guys. Even if it takes six years.

Pam Beesly: a woman with a broken engagement, little money in the bank, and stuck at Dunder Mifflin. Oh, and the man she loved had a new girlfriend. 

Inside Pam's head at the beginning of 3x09. Canon-compliant.  

They’ve just got one scene left for today (so says Michael), and Jim thinks it’s supposed to be a sort of touching moment of humanization for the villain, as he gives his tragic backstory— but this being a Michael Scott film, of course it doesn’t work that well. They've read through it in the (just a working draft for now, people!) script a couple times, and Jim can't help the swoop in his stomach at one particular stage direction:

[SANDRA gives GOLDENFACE a kiss.]

 In which a scene from Threat Level Midnight is filmed at Dunder Mifflin, and Jim may or may not flub some lines on purpose.

Pam turns 30 determined to make this year better than the chaos of 29, which brought the end of her eight-year marriage to Roy. Married young and believing they were building a shared future, she was blindsided when Roy took a job out of state, ignored her pleas to come home, and revealed he never planned to return. Though heartbroken, Pam realizes she had always felt like something was missing. After meeting Jim at her new job, they begin to grow closer, and Pam starts to realize she’s entering an entirely new chapter of her life. As she rebuilds, Pam discovers that sometimes the ending of one chapter is the beginning of something even better.

The CIA needs receptionists, too. A short, silly story where Pam ends up a clandestine operative. Post Negotiations. 

Jim Halpert finally got a date with his dream girl, the one he’d been dreaming of for months.
