Au, where Pam never dated Roy and once she left high school, she got an art degree. But she still becomes a receptionist at Dunder Mifflin, but in Stamford.

When the Stamford branch closes, she is offered a position in Scranton, which she accepts. This is where she develops a crush on the handsome salesman, Jim who is in a long term relationship with saleswoman, Karen.

When Jim realizes he hasn’t said a word about his feelings for Pam because she’s still engaged to Roy, he decides to take an unexpected trip to Australia some days before their wedding week. Eventually, he will come back to Scranton to stop the wedding. 

Following a crushing showing at the art exhibition, Pam is offered a new path forward by her instructor. Finding confidence and a renewed sense of self worth, she is afforded the opportunity to break free from an oppressive and toxic environment. What happens when Jim stumbles intor this alternative life and witnesses her growth firsthand? (Late Season 3 - AU) 

Two months after her husband dies, Pam receives a gift from him that helps her in more ways than she could ever imagine. Now it’s four years later and she’s finally ready to start dating again, but just like everything else in her life, it gets a little messy.

AU based off of The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. If you’ve read the book, this plotline will be pretty similar while still incorporating characters/references/small plotlines of The Office as well as possibly my own little twists.

It takes a few endings to get to a beginning. Season 3, but make it exile. 

(When I was talking about folklore inspiring fics I didn’t mean me, whoops...) 

Sometimes Jim doesn't get Roy.

A version of Booze Cruise where Jim rocks the boat.
