What if Pam had found her voice a little bit earlier?
Set during Season 3, at the end of "The Merger"
A Will They or Won't They AU with Pam and Jim as next door neighbors.
“Pam, come on. Don’t do that.” The sound of his bare feet on the wooden floor following behind kept me in motion through the dining room, looking under chairs for my sandals. I summoned everything I had in me not to look at him in his currently half-dressed state.
“Don’t do what? Jim, I’m fine. Really.”
I’m just in love with you and you only want to be friendly neighbors. And, also, since I’m being honest with myself, my body is not loving the unsated high of being as aroused as I just felt with your hands on me like that.
It’s the ten year anniversary of Stress Relief and all the love floating around Twitter over the past couple of days got me thinking – what if the fire “drill” at the beginning of the episode had taken place in Season 3 instead. Set sometime between The Merger and Phyllis’ Wedding.
An AU version of season 2's "Valentine's Day".
Pam is more than a little annoyed and Jim steps in. Holiday fluff ensues.
[I got the idea after reading "V-J Day", by Comfect. I you haven't checked that one out yet, do it. Now.]

Karen pays a little more attention during ‘The Merger’
(Please note: despite my terrible description above, this is JAM-centric)
High School Pam meets High School Jim and that becomes an opportunity for learning a few things.
Usual disclaimers: Don't own anything you recognise and, of course, not profit is being made.
The only thought fixed in his mind is how easy he and Pam have landed into that comforting, exciting place of banter and pranks and how he never ever wants to leave it again.
Pam is jinxed and Jim knows he has to take this chance.
Set during season 3.
“We’re friends,” she says, and it is the only true thing she can bear to admit in this moment. The only true thing she thinks he could hear without being lost to her forever. “We’ll always be friends.”
Response to 'The Apartment' challenge. Set immediately after the events of 'The Merger' (S3), Jim changes his relationship status and moves into the apartment across the hallway from Pam.
“Are you free for dinner tonight?”
“Yes.” Her reply is immediate, eager, completely certain. He sees her, truly sees her, sees her eyes taking him in and her hands clenched in her lap and her hair the same way it has been every day that he has known her.
“Then it’s a date.” It is the most important thing in the world that he clarifies this last piece of information, that she knows what she is getting into. He is almost prepared to hear her recant, to take back her single syllable and tuck it away for someone else. But she doesn’t.
Dear friends, may I present a short collection of events taking place during and after the events depicted in ‘The Job’ (S3) detailing Jim’s break-up with Karen and his first date with Pam. Get excited for some angsty monologuing from Jim, some indignant Karen and some super fluffy adorable first-date non-canon content.
If the film crew can call Pam and Jim out on their relationship in “Fun Run”, this doesn’t completely suspend disbelief… An AU take on “Back From Vacation,” wherein Jim receives some insight from an unlikely source.
Answers the question that no one asked - what if Michael unwittingly got the cocktail party cancelled and Jim ended up in the bar with his co-workers?
'Cocktails' with a twist.
This story started out being a one-shot inspired by the Taylor Swift song Gorgeous, but then it became so much more. Thanks to Coley for reading and giving feedback.
Pam and Jim meet right before Jim starts at Dunder-Mifflin. Pam develops a crush on Jim and has to figure out what to do about it.
Another day, another conference room meeting with life altering consequences.
Set Season 3, somewhere between 'The Merger' and 'Phyllis' Wedding'
Jim and Pam navigate their first dates. My take on scenes we didn't get to see between "The Job" and "Fun Run". Fluffy, romantic, sexy fun.
What if Jim hadn't left Pam after Casino Night?
