Two months after her husband dies, Pam receives a gift from him that helps her in more ways than she could ever imagine. Now it’s four years later and she’s finally ready to start dating again, but just like everything else in her life, it gets a little messy.

AU based off of The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. If you’ve read the book, this plotline will be pretty similar while still incorporating characters/references/small plotlines of The Office as well as possibly my own little twists.

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. 

A series of Jim/Pam one-shots, inspired by lines in the show (now in chronological order!)  

"Sitting at her desk that morning it suddenly registered with Pam that her hair felt heavy, pulled back in that trusty barrette like it always was...

She locked her computer monitor and glanced at her reflection in the black screen, studying it intently."

An introspective look at the thought process behind Pam's haircut in the s3-s4 interim.

What if Jim didn’t forget his umbrella?

An alternate look at season 9.

Following a crushing showing at the art exhibition, Pam is offered a new path forward by her instructor. Finding confidence and a renewed sense of self worth, she is afforded the opportunity to break free from an oppressive and toxic environment. What happens when Jim stumbles intor this alternative life and witnesses her growth firsthand? (Late Season 3 - AU)
