Not Time Travel but Time Travel adjacent.

A kind of fantasy in reverse – Pam wakes up to find herself in an alternate life without Jim, her children and much of the self-worth she found being in love with and by him. Could she find it again with Jim gone from Dunder Mifflin and without him could she break free from Roy to get back to her other life? 


Disclaimer (it's been a while does it go here?) I don't own these characters or canon elements of the story or an FSU mascot -  no CR infringement intended.

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*

When you finally say it, it is absolutely not this huge romantic moment that you imagined.

It's 2022 and Pam has found herself in square one of the relationship game: single. Or, square two: single and ready to mingle. Lonely and ready to move on, Pam finds herself seeking companionship while she's away from home - just not a full-on relationship so soon after her previous one. 

Oh what's that, a new match? 

Pam just wants the perfect Christmas. Is that really too much to ask for?

For the 2024 Holiday Fic Challenge. 

Pam turns 30 determined to make this year better than the chaos of 29, which brought the end of her eight-year marriage to Roy. Married young and believing they were building a shared future, she was blindsided when Roy took a job out of state, ignored her pleas to come home, and revealed he never planned to return. Though heartbroken, Pam realizes she had always felt like something was missing. After meeting Jim at her new job, they begin to grow closer, and Pam starts to realize she’s entering an entirely new chapter of her life. As she rebuilds, Pam discovers that sometimes the ending of one chapter is the beginning of something even better.
