Jim's thoughts...pre-Casino Night.
They say there are 5 stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. You'll see Pam go through them - with some future fluff every other chapter to keep you from pulling your hair out. There will be 10 chapters in all. :)
Pam sees something she used to not like very much through new eyes.
The five minutes immediately following Casino Night. And then beyond. Author is spoiler-free.
This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well. I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.
This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters. My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

Future fic, but with some imagined back-story for Jim as well.Jim and Pam are a couple. He asks a question. She contemplates.Sometimes you double check to see if you can hear a dial tone.
Then again...sometimes you might be too distracted to bother. ;)
Some musings from Pam, post-angst. Just for fun.For the Caught Red Handed and "Nobody knows" Challenges. Sometimes you're so distracted that you get careless and what you think is a big secret isn't such a secret at all. :)Sometimes Pam's a tad insecure. Jim loves her anyway. Extremely mild spoilers/speculation for S3. Nothing like that MySpace debacle. ;)
Jim and Pam's first date. Fluff ensues.
What comes next after the kiss?
I have decided to expand on the idea of Codename: Chicken Plate. This will be my take on the emails, phone calls and conversations we missed over the summer and for the first part of Season 3 (until Pam and Jim actually communicate themselves) My idea is that Jim knows exactly what happened between Pam and Roy and knows exactly what is going on in Pam's life right now even if WE don't see it.
A bridge between Casino Night and GWH, with some projection beyond. :) Author does not read spoilers or watch previews. Chapter 1 "M" for language; chapter 2 "MA".
