But he's Jim. And he looks at her and she feels that way she can never quite define. Post The Job.

Mid-season 3, Michael takes the staff out for some much-needed fresh air.
A first fight and a bowl of make-up spaghetti. (No spoilers.)
“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.
MEMBER'S CHOICE - An alternate universe where Pam and Roy had a wedding, Pam goes to art school in New York, Dwight owns a restaurant and Jim works for a job in advertising that he likes a lot more and gets a lot more money at.
Basically? Dunder Mifflin never exists. And everyone meets under different circumstances.
The characters are pretty much the same -- personality-wise -- they just have different roles and work different jobs.
Your feet hurt and your chest feels tight and it’s quite possible that you’ve never felt so alive.
SPOILERS FOR BEACH GAMES, tiny spoiler for The Job.
Post finale Jim/Pam. That's all I can say without spoiling people. Summer picnics, maps, rain...things change year to year. (No spoilers.)When her mom gets sick, it seems like it'll be alright. Set sometime in the future with Jim and Pam married. MEMBER'S CHOICE - It's Michael's Birthday. Pam remembers. It's a whole lot different than it was just a year ago.Before, during, after (peas, waffles.) Post-Cocktails...but no fighting.From denial to acceptance. Takes place after Boys and Girls, and written off a prompt from unfold.
You hate that she’s the only thing that makes you warm because now you know you can’t have her.
Takes place during Booze Cruise.
Written in response to the Evening Coming (aka the Scarf) challenge. Not usually one for prompts, but this one got me thinking.
Jim and Pam discuss cohabitation on a Sunday morning. Written after Back from Vacation as an antidote to Pam's crying scene. Just couldn't leave it alone, now could I?

He knows she smiles behind her book when he gets up, stands behind her, puts his hands on her shoulders and tells her that she brings balance to the force.
A few light bits and pieces I'd accumulated (have written enough angst lately, thanks.) Since they were just languishing, I figured I'd resurrect Vignettes and send them out into the world. Each is a stand-alone, NOT a chapter in a work-in-progress, so feel free to jump in and out. (I'm thinking there will be 3-5 pieces, but will have to see how the mood strikes me.)
If I owned these characters, would I be writing this stuff? Seriously. No copyright infringement is intended.
Post The Convict - just a brief scenario, pondering that episode. Jim, Pam, Karen, Einstein...the usual gang. (Originally written as one of a collection of scenes; decided to let it be a stand alone. For now.)
A scene from sometime down the road…viewed with rose-colored glasses. Through Diwali. Little bit steamy.
Just a collection of confections from a parallel universe where all the Herr’s potato chips in Montreal can’t keep Pam and Jim apart. I hope it’s as therapeutic to read, as it was to write. A bit saucy.Inspired by the premiere’s melancholy whiff o’Jam. Except with a happy ending, because…I felt like it. Contains a possible SPOILER – nothing you wouldn’t know unless you’ve avoided even those tiny tidbits in the mass media. Just saying, to be fair.
