A look at Pam’s Season 3 journey through the eyes of her art instructor.

“Marla always started off the term asking students to fill out a survey about themselves... There wasn’t much on Pam’s paper; a few neatly written words that she worked as a receptionist, hadn’t taken art classes since high school, and liked watercolors best.”

“Are you free for dinner tonight?”

“Yes.” Her reply is immediate, eager, completely certain. He sees her, truly sees her, sees her eyes taking him in and her hands clenched in her lap and her hair the same way it has been every day that he has known her.

“Then it’s a date.” It is the most important thing in the world that he clarifies this last piece of information, that she knows what she is getting into. He is almost prepared to hear her recant, to take back her single syllable and tuck it away for someone else. But she doesn’t. 

Dear friends, may I present a short collection of events taking place during and after the events depicted in ‘The Job’ (S3) detailing Jim’s break-up with Karen and his first date with Pam. Get excited for some angsty monologuing from Jim, some indignant Karen and some super fluffy adorable first-date non-canon content.

High School Pam meets High School Jim and that becomes an opportunity for learning a few things.

Usual disclaimers: Don't own anything you recognise and, of course, not profit is being made.

What if Pam had found her voice a little bit earlier?

Set during Season 3, at the end of "The Merger" 

Jim and Pam, Hallmark(tm) movie style. Set in the S2 Christmas break (after the Christmas party, before the Booze Cruise). Canon-compliant until then, though with my own interpretation of how that break went, but it's a Hallmark Christmas movie so we all know how it's going to end. 

For the 2018 Secret Santa fiction exchange. 

It's been a while since Pam's been on a date. Good thing Jim's there talks her through her first few attempts. 

She sits on the couch and cries. Until she hears a knock at the door.

Jim and Pam's first week together--starting with a bad date, and ending with a ring.
