AU from “Negotiations”; Roy isn’t in the mood for closure. Pam suffers the consequences and rises from the ashes, while Jim tries to find his way back to her.
"It's not about ideologies anymore or what we wish the world was. It just isn’t. You have to decide what matters and then do whatever you can to keep it. Sometimes that means making impossible decisions; choices that take a piece of you.”
A version of Christmas Party where Pam makes the right choice - with a little help from an unexpected friend.
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?
“W-why did you call…me?”...Toby paused, “well…it’s-it’s Pam. And uh-um…well you’re…you’re her emergency contact, Jim.” Season 3 AU of cocktails and it’s aftermath
The year is 1929. Pamela Beesly was doing alright despite everything going on in America. She was engaged to a miner, Roy Anderson, who swept her off her feet and took her to a new kind of life back in Chicago. After the stock market crashed she began to seek employment in order to stay afloat. Thanks to a sexy local club singer, in a pinstripe suit, named Jimmy Halpert and his in with the owner of the Green Door Tavern Pam was working nights as a waitress at the town's most popular speakeasy. Not to mention she was now employed by the largest Mob Boss in America. Michael Scarn.
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?
Pam, Dwight and company scramble to uncover what happened to Jim, while Jim engages in mind games with his reluctant but unstable captor in hopes of being found alive.
WARNING: THIS IS DARK AND EMOTIONAL. CHECK NOTES AT BEGINNING AND END OF CHAPTERS FOR WARNINGS. Mod Note: Graphic Drawing in Chapter 4
TW: there is heavily implied domestic violence in this story.
I do not know I how to summarize this really.
The writing style is a little bit different, but I felt it was the best way to convey what I was imagining. It switches POV quite often, so watch out for that. I also tried to avoid names until a particular moment, so that's part of it too.
It's some post casino night angst, canon divergence, with a little bit of a cheesy ending.
An arrest. A trial. A prison cell.
Jim and Pam fight to keep their hopes alive, while Dwight tries to uncover the truth.
When the secrets of one employee cost the others twelve hours of peril, locked in the office under a hostage situation, true colors begin to shine through.
Essentially taking the General Hospital Metro Court hostage crisis from 2007 and pretending it happened in The Office, so if you've seen it, some plot lines will probably give you nostalgia... :)
NOW COMPLETE! Jim gets in an accident on June 10, and Pam gets to help. Only AU in that it deviates from main timeline between S2 and S3 (no different worldbuilding premise).
Disclaimer: I do not own the Office or its IP.
Pam shows Jim the power a good woman can have when all the chips are down.
AU: Approximately seven months post-Diwali, if Jim's little drunk-biking incident had been witnessed by a police officer.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Suicidal ideation, references to past sexual abuse.
Life as they knew it is over. Everything has been and can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Despite this, they found each other. But can they ever find home?
Inspired by A Quiet Place.
