The more things change - the more they stay the same.
(I went crazy and rated it M -and then changed it back to a T 'cause - you know - it's still me doing the writing.)
With apologies to Charles Dickens, here's the real story of what finally prompted Pam to call off the wedding. Just a collection of confections from a parallel universe where all the Herr’s potato chips in Montreal can’t keep Pam and Jim apart. I hope it’s as therapeutic to read, as it was to write. A bit saucy."Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations." Faith Baldwin
A story inspired by Ms. Fischer herself and her recently publicized version of Pam's backstory that explains what the hell is going on in her mind now that she's made that poor heartbroken boy move away.

I bought a new suit and cancelled a plane ticket.Ryan finds an assortment of junk in Jim's desk. He lets Pam decide what to do with it.Okay, this is post Stamford (sort of) and is a little AU, given that we now know Jim and Pam have talked a little. It's a bit angsty, but I swear, I was absolutely seized by the urge to write this! It's based a little on some of the comments I read on Live Journal yesterday re: Jim as "a man with needs." Heh. That makes this sound as if it's going to be a pile of smut, and it's not. It'll just be a slightly different Jim - totally drunk!Jim.
Jonathan makes an appearance as well.
And for those of you who are concerned - remember, my fics always end with a happy Jim/Pam. :o) This one probably won't be as long as the others have been; I'm thinking it'll maybe be a two-parter.

Is it a homage, is it a tribute or is it just that I am not very good at thinking up original plots? Whatever, this story is 'inspired' by Jane Austen's Persuasion and is meant to have a similar mix of melancholy and hope. Set after the rumoured merger of the branches (spoilers up to Grief Counselling), Michael organises a bonding exercise adventure and Pam has to deal with seeing Jim again - and with his attentions to Karen. But if you've read Persuasion, you might guess that someone is heading for a fall ...
A silly short story inspired by all the stories I've read here involving Jim's now famous brother! It's just a bit of fun, people.
