A visit from Sasha, a secret code, and some tummyweather. Slightly angsty, but ends with the promise of fluff. Some spoilers for "Business School".
maybe things have to be raw and open and painful sometimes to finally be right.
Post-Cocktails. Pam, Jim, wounds both emotional and physical, and finally some answers.
It's not that Karen didn't see the signs, she just chose to ignore them...
Vignettes take place either during or close to episodes, including a post-Cocktails vignette.
Before, during, after (peas, waffles.) Post-Cocktails...but no fighting.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.
Another story telling the aftermath of "Cocktails".
The first thing she noticed was that he’d started rolling up his sleeves again.
Set a few weeks post-Cocktails ... I'm spoiler-free, however, so it's just speculation!
All the lights are changing red to green. From denial to truth in an enclosed space. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. Michael’s leaning forward on his elbows, staring at her across his desk. “That was definitely heroic and, if I may say so, romantical of you. Well done.” While he shoots her what is meant to be a congratulatory grin, Pam stares down at the teal glass shards in her laps, still clutching the ice pack, trying desperately to pretend that the tears have stopped.
Post-Cocktails.
A post "Gay Witch Hunt" story, as if the rest of season 3 hasn't happened yet.
Pam and Jim decide to get it out of their system...Literally. This idea just wouldn't get out of head, especially after all the fight fics, I figure there has to be another way to get rid of the sexual tension- why not actual 'casual' sex. Oh and it's going to really backfire. P.S. This is way fluffier than my usual stuff AND almost finished too. So there's that.
MEMBER'S CHOICE - "Here’s the thing Jim, sometimes being in love means doing things you don’t want to do for the other person. For you, right now, it means just being her friend. And I think you’re selling yourself short, you are strong enough to do this."
Jim gets some much needed advice about Pam and a little push in the right direction from Mark's girlfriend Jane. Spoilers through the Negotiation.Yet another post-The Job story, covering the week after the first date, and some fallout.
All finished now! Thanks for reading.
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
