And when he walked me home that night

All the stars were shining bright

And then he kissed me

She left her house that night with nothing but a too tight dress and a plan to leave as soon as possible. She walked back home with the man who would become her everything. 1950’s Scranton.

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. 

'The main source of her distress laid on the table, almost shining under the lights. Pam knew it would be hard to break with it but had no idea how much.'

Set during and after 'Benihana Christmas.'

It takes a few endings to get to a beginning. Season 3, but make it exile. 

(When I was talking about folklore inspiring fics I didn’t mean me, whoops...) 

"I need to get out of this dress."

"I need to get out of this dress." 

A rare moment between Jim and Pam.

My response to the 55 word challenge. 

 Jim and Pam navigate their first dates. My take on scenes we didn't get to see between "The Job" and "Fun Run". Fluffy, romantic, sexy fun.

The road stretches before him and threatens to swallow him whole.
