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.
The documentary company needs a little help to finalize a distribution deal, so the head of the camera crew decides to recruit a mole.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.
Jim and Pam reconnect. No Spoilers.
“I get it now, she’s everything I’m not.” She says as a few tears slip out from beneath her lashes. His subconscious realizes at this moment that she’s unconsciously mimicking a line from the Royal Tenenbaums, one of their joint favorite films. When he replays this conversation in his mind later, this will break his heart.
Another story telling the aftermath of "Cocktails".
Pam’s hands grip his shirt, and he looks up the ceiling. He hears Pam let out a sigh as she continues to cry, the tears sliding down her cheeks. He thinks for a minute she had fallen asleep, the bags under her eyes suddenly obvious, but no, she stays awake.
(Isn't as angst-y as the summary, I promise)
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.

“God, Jim. There’s been an…there was an accident and…Roy came back and he got upset and…God, he shot Della Jim, Roy shot her.” And suddenly Jim’s not even breathing.
Post The Negotiation (no spoilers).
My attempt at working it all out. This will span ten chapters and will include flashbacks to previous episodes/seasons.
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.
Karen decides to see what all the fuss is about when it comes to Pam Beesly. Jim/Pam/Karen smut!
