Don't take this the wrong way, but... you should go for that job.

What would have happened if Jim had taken that job in Maryland after all? Season Two angst - spoilers for Halloween through Email Surveillance, then goes AU from there.

When Jim can't be there when Pam needs him, he sends a little love through the mail.

My contribution to the "Pam in New York" theme

"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."

Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.
