Post "Ben Franklin," pre "Phyllis's Wedding." AU in the sense that...well, things go differently here between Jim and Pam than they went on the show.
This is what I'd wish for.
Also - this is a completed story.
You spend your days watching other people fumble over themselves and wade through life without having to actually live your own.
Response to the Documentary Crew challenge!
For all she’d tried to deny it, there was something about him that simply made her happy.
An Improv!Fic peek inside Jan's mind during her trip to Sandals Jamaica.
Pam's little evil voice has big plans. They involve Jim, the dress from Casino Night, and... not much more.
The universe seemed destined to tear them apart until fate intervenes. Pam is single and a little destitute. Jim is (not so) happily engaged to his high school sweetheart. How will this affect our favorite condiment? (Written for the Role Reversal Challenge.)
This is along the same lines as my other Away From the Cameras, in the sense that I'm exploring scenes that might have happened off-camera (or simply those that we didn't get to see).
A few things: First, I'm working on the assumption that a lot of what I wrote in the AFtC for season II stands (though I likely won't reference any of it here), up until Casino Night. (Clearly I was quite off about what happened after the kiss...heh.)
Second, there will be flashbacks filling in the blanks of what happened immediately after CN (how long did Jim work? how did he and Pam ultimately leave things? how did she end things with Roy? how did Jim find out about her cancelling the wedding?); the flashbacks will happen largely in the chapters pre-merger (to keep things interesting for Jim/Pam fans during their physical separation).
Anger, Pain, Love...someone has to do something
It starts with the first time Jim and Pam are in the same room again, followed by their first real fight and then..you know...a few other firsts. :)
