Set late(ish) -S3, possibly after Cocktails/The Negotiation (post Pam splitting up with Roy mk.II)
A bit steamy and a bit sweary at points.
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.
But baby I won't be there to catch you when you fall. 'Cause I'm always your last call...
It's a little AU, with Jim still working at Dunder-Mifflin, but attacking his job issues and his journey with Pam from a different direction. What if Jim worked in the warehouse with Roy when he starts to find the office receptionist way too attractive for his own good?
What would have happened if Jim had been a little later getting back to the office?
Karen finds love again after Jim
Jim and Pam argue...and then make up.
