A look at Pam’s Season 3 journey through the eyes of her art instructor.
“Marla always started off the term asking students to fill out a survey about themselves... There wasn’t much on Pam’s paper; a few neatly written words that she worked as a receptionist, hadn’t taken art classes since high school, and liked watercolors best.”
“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.
She wonders why it is so hard for her to be happy these days. She wonders why it takes her so long to fall asleep, and when she does she tosses around dreams of the office and Jell-O and Jim. She wonders why it has been so easy for her to ignore the swelling of her heart that makes it feel like her chest is going to explode. She wonders why her skin comes alive for Jim but never for Roy. And she wonders why it was so easy for her to nod and push him away, when she knows she should have just pulled him back in and let herself drown in him forever.
A response to the 'Pam in Stanford' challenge. Beginning on Casino Night (S2), this AU explores what would have happened if Pam transferred to Stamford instead of Jim.
Loosely set between S03E11, "Back from vacation" and S03E12, "Traveling Salesmen".
It's that magical Friday again, but Michael is too busy trying to improve his morale with the warehouse guys. And he is not afraid of bringing the big guns. After all, what could go wrong?
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.
One task after another, one empty thought followed by the next, just like yesterday, just like tomorrow.
Season 9.
What if Pam had found her voice a little bit earlier?
Set during Season 3, at the end of "The Merger"
Jim and Pam, Hallmark(tm) movie style. Set in the S2 Christmas break (after the Christmas party, before the Booze Cruise). Canon-compliant until then, though with my own interpretation of how that break went, but it's a Hallmark Christmas movie so we all know how it's going to end.
For the 2018 Secret Santa fiction exchange.
Jim’s not much of a costume guy, but he has on occasion made exceptions…
A Halloween Fic set in Season 5, after the "Employee Transfer" cold opener, with high school flashbacks (because who doesn't love that?!)
Note: not eligible for prizes in our Halloween contest, just writing for fun!
Based on the song If I Could Tell Her from Dear Evan Hansen. which I also don't own.
College AU, Jim falls in love with a friend of a friend (you know those kinda weird friendships) and cannot imagine that she also might be in love with him.
She sits on the couch and cries. Until she hears a knock at the door.
An Office Prequel from Jim's perspective (at least mostly).
James Halpert starts his first day at Dunder-Mifflin just to earn a paycheck. Little does he know that accepting a job as a paper salesman would change his life more than he ever thought possible.
It's been a while since Pam's been on a date. Good thing Jim's there talks her through her first few attempts.
Jim and Pam's first week together--starting with a bad date, and ending with a ring.
Jim and Pam are CIA agents assigned to break a Scranton element of a smuggling ring. "Stamford" is a cover for Jim being recalled to Langley after confessing his feelings for Pam, but now he's coming back. And he has to recruit Dwight as an asset.
NOW COMPLETE. Set in AU S3. Spoilers through S3.
Pam decides to write angry letters without sending them. Or, well, the modern equivalent thereof. A fun little romp of a story!
AU: Canon divergence. Pam doesn't get back together with Roy in season 3. She leaves the wedding when he asks her to dance. They are not together for her art show. They don't go to Poor Richard's, she doesn't tell him about the kiss with Jim, and he never tries to attack Jim in the office.
