Jim and Pam get suspended, but they're thrilled about it.

Post "Secretary's Day."

The List made me do it. 

A reimagining of the episode "Gossip" and all those sweet, sweet rumors.

Pam is initially anxious, nervous and timid but will grow in confidence.  Jim is confident and self-assured but will show lovely vulnerability.  

If ethical non-monogamy isn't your thing, move along.  This is our JAM love with a 'love affairs and relationships look different from the outside' twist.  Lots of smut for the sake of pure smuttiness. 

All events from the series still happened, but they are going to take some different turns.   

This will be a series, not sure how long, but all starting from a place inspired by the AU "The Unicorn" created by Big Tuna in the future, and started in episode-centric events.   

What started as a single little one-shot of what may have happened after Stress Relief.  (Jim was panicked, Pam was scared.  They needed a place to feel safe.) This has now become a little series of vignettes I can't let go of.

Enjoy! 

Takes place inside/after The Negotiation..pretty much AU after that, but pulls in themes from Beach Games.

Lots of inspiration from Everything by Lifehouse

TW: violence, swearing, domestic violence…a VERY different version of what happened after Roy tried to hit Jim.  If you have been through interpersonal violence, or experience anxiety & panic, please go gently here.  

100% there will be good stuff as we go...hence the spicy warnings...but in the beginning, it is going to be BUMPY.

In the beginning, each chapter will switch POV, and it will most certainly be Jim/Pam POV, with minimal potential for others. Then the chapters will be longer and shared POV.

*Please, be gentle and kind with yourselves, if you choose to read*
