This is a 5-Things story based on my favorite game show.

A post-Beach Games fic.  Some glimpses of what might've happened after the cameras stopped rolling (not that enough didn't happen while they were rolling...). 

Spoilers through Beach Games.

All it took were a few (real) flames to edge off the impurities and let her emerge, sparkling.

Post Beach Games speculation...so, spoilers through Beach Games.

MEMBER'S CHOICE - An alternate universe where Pam and Roy had a wedding, Pam goes to art school in New York, Dwight owns a restaurant and Jim works for a job in advertising that he likes a lot more and gets a lot more money at.
Basically? Dunder Mifflin never exists. And everyone meets under different circumstances.

The characters are pretty much the same -- personality-wise -- they just have different roles and work different jobs.

I decided to write a sequel to Charcoal & Watercolors !!!!

The story picks up right about where Charcoal & Watercolors left off -- Jim and Pam's wedding. Then goes from there into their future. Jim still works at the advertising company and Pam works (exclusively) at a publishing company where she is an illustrator of children's stories.

I added a few more characters ;) and am planning on keeping almost all of the characters from the previous story.

Enjoy!!

“Quite an interesting collection you have here, Jim.”

Pam and Jim are learning all sorts of interesting things about each other.

A smattering of short(ish) scenes on the subject...

A pool party and a shirtless Jim. Need I say more?

Another story in the series - Jim Halpert: More Than the Sum of His Parts
