This oneshot is based on a prompt at TWoP to write a fic based on a screen shot from Gay Witch Hunt showing that Jim has a note stuck to his monitor reading, "Smile!" This is what I imagine he was thinking when he looked at it. Oh, so, spoilers for Gay Witch Hunt, sort of.

He was well aware of the fact that what he was contemplating (no, planning) could result in the loss of his job; after all, the very definition of a documentary stipulated that the cameramen not alter the natural course of events or become actively involved with the subjects in any way.

Even more than that, though, he understood that to do this would be to tread a dangerous line; it was rather like playing god in some ways.  

What if Jim could see what we've seen?

No spoilers, all speculation.   A oneshot.  Yes, a oneshot.  Seriously - it's finished.

He gathers up enough resolve to ask her what's wrong, bracing himself for I thought you said it was a long time ago.

Set post-The Secret.

Her voice is so quiet that she's not sure he hears her, but then he's sighing and saying, "Yeah," like it's something he's been waiting to hear.

[Post Phyllis' Wedding]

She's broken the ice the silence and
She waits.

[An attempt at a slightly different writing style. / Spoilers up to the latest episode.]
