Ryan finds an assortment of junk in Jim's desk. He lets Pam decide what to do with it.Okay, this is post Stamford (sort of) and is a little AU, given that we now know Jim and Pam have talked a little. It's a bit angsty, but I swear, I was absolutely seized by the urge to write this! It's based a little on some of the comments I read on Live Journal yesterday re: Jim as "a man with needs." Heh. That makes this sound as if it's going to be a pile of smut, and it's not. It'll just be a slightly different Jim - totally drunk!Jim.
Jonathan makes an appearance as well.
And for those of you who are concerned - remember, my fics always end with a happy Jim/Pam. :o) This one probably won't be as long as the others have been; I'm thinking it'll maybe be a two-parter.

An unexpected conversation with Karen gives Jim some perspective. Based on unspoiled speculation for season 3.Pam makes an important call
Is it a homage, is it a tribute or is it just that I am not very good at thinking up original plots? Whatever, this story is 'inspired' by Jane Austen's Persuasion and is meant to have a similar mix of melancholy and hope. Set after the rumoured merger of the branches (spoilers up to Grief Counselling), Michael organises a bonding exercise adventure and Pam has to deal with seeing Jim again - and with his attentions to Karen. But if you've read Persuasion, you might guess that someone is heading for a fall ...
A silly short story inspired by all the stories I've read here involving Jim's now famous brother! It's just a bit of fun, people.

Five moments from the time Jim returned to Scranton, that taken one after another, lead Jim to finally believe in second chances.
The Merger happens in Stamford. What will Jim do now?
Jim does what he intended on Casino Night.

Jim, Pam and Karen, kidding themselves about how things really are.
Post Merger - Except the years he waited, he was able to witness her falling out of love - She's getting to watch him fall in love. Pam reaches her breaking point and decides to take a leap.Jim and Pam try to fix what's broken in the parking lot the day he comes back from Stamford. I'm sad. Pam's sad. Jim's sad. Karen's waiting for him at Coopers.
Something had to be done.
This is just my answer to Thursday night's angst - my attempt at an explanation of what the hell they were thinking, as well as my offering of a happy ending (TWSS!).
