During mandatory lockdown there is still work to do, and Pam is nothing but a professional.
Contemporary AU lockdown JAM.
Jim returns to Scranton from Stamford in a world where Karen doesn't exist. Pam wants to pick up where they left off on Casino Night but Jim tells her he's done all the pursuing so far, and he'd like be pursued (read: seduced). "Give me a reason to come back."
Inspired by the Taylor Swift song "I Think He Knows".
In different places and different times, Pam meets Jim, and these meetings change both their lives.
UPDATE 4/6 - Marked Complete - see story notes for a message of explanation and gratitude.
What happened after Jim "struck gold" during his job interview in New York (season 3 finale) and before Pam went mining for celebrity sex tapes (season 4 opener), this chapter by chapter WIP has the story told through many points of view - none of them from the documentary film crew.
Jim and Pam meet during their sophomore year of college. They’re at different schools, but somehow, they just might make it work. Modern day college AU.
It’s Jim’s birthday. There are a whole lot of gifts coming his way but the biggest one he got months before. Spoilers through Fun Run.
Title Update
The Snoopy mug origin story...
Pam and Jim spend their first New Year's together babysitting.
As the year 2007 ends, Pam's got to face her fears of interacting with children.
This is a teeny tiny plot bunny that has barely any plot at all.
It just came into my mind after I saw a gif of this scene (S3E8, The Merger). Enjoy.
An exploration of what might have happened if our favorite couple lived in the age of the dating app.
Set in early Season 3, if Season 3 happened to take place in 2017.
And when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me
She left her house that night with nothing but a too tight dress and a plan to leave as soon as possible. She walked back home with the man who would become her everything. 1950’s Scranton.
"He doesn’t want to be presumptuous but all he’s been thinking about for the past twelve minutes as the car sped away from the restaurant is how much he wants to kiss her again; how much he wants to keep on kissing her until he either dies from happiness or wakes up."
My (canon-compliant) take on Pam and Jim's romantic journey, beginning with their first date. Includes flashbacks.
'His mother would probably scold him with how often he tends to eavesdrop, but that doesn’t stop him from doing it anyway. He had to be observant in order to survive his two older brothers and the trait followed him to adulthood. Plus, if he was honest, he liked being able to find things out about strangers he would likely never see again. Learning secrets, finding out information, listening to arguments. There was nothing he could do with the stuff he heard, but he enjoyed knowing that the people surrounding him had their own lives just like he did.'
55 word sequel to Copper Strands.
I only own my words, not them.
Somewhat canon-complicit? 6 or 7 short blurbs of the moments where Jim had butterflies while with Pam. Pure fluff, I apologize!
