When Special Agent James D. Halpert is supposed to begin his first day as the personal bodyguard of the newly elected President William Beesly's daughter, Pamela Beesly, he didn't think he would be neck deep in a parasitic controlled religious cult based in a remote section of Spain hell-bent on world domination. Hey, just another day, right?

Future chapters will now only be posted over at Ao3. Follow me over there @ babyboyking for more updates. :)  

There’s something unnerving about the sun still being out, something that makes it all seem a little more serious. Something about seeing the dust in the corner, the sources of shadows, the scuffs on the floor all illumined by the warm light streaming through the windows.

'The main source of her distress laid on the table, almost shining under the lights. Pam knew it would be hard to break with it but had no idea how much.'

Set during and after 'Benihana Christmas.'

Meeting in an unusual place in life, a broken Jim and Pam try their best to put the pieces of their lives back together while not falling apart and back down the hole that they're trying to help one another out of.

Based on the song "How Not To" by Dan + Shay, because do I *ever* write something that *isn't* based on a song?
