This follows most of the episodes from a different standpoint, adding more Angst to already Angsty Pam and Jim love story. If that's even possible. Pam is obviously unhappy and she begins to see things different with each passing episode.
This line made me laugh out loud - "She had just opened a big can of crap" I've never heard that expression before.
10 This was such a good peek into Jan's thoughts and feelings. When I read about her wanting a man with beautiful eyes who would play basketball with the kids my first thought was - not Jim!!
Author's Response:
Thanks;) And heh, no, I didn't really mean Jim;) Although, who knows;)
This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well. I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.
This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters. My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

I just love this story!
So much to love about this chapter - sex in the shower, Jim picking out the blouse, Kelly thinking Jim looked heartbroken, Michael thinking Pam was giving Jim the cold shoulder, Pam taking off her bra and dropping it on Jim's lap - and Michael handing out condoms! Great, great chapter!!
10 Don't know how I managed to miss this chapter last week when you updated - but I was glad to read it today! Such a hot and steamy and Jammy chapter.
10 Loved this line - "Just keep looking at me that way. And take your shirt off." and "That shirt is so coming off later." And I thought I was the only one who jumped when opening a can of biscuits!
10 I loved how Jon reacted to their being together - so happpy and sweet. And I truly loved the hot steamy action at the end. Wow! I bet Pam never goes home, unless she takes him with her! I know I wouldn't want to be more than a minute or two away from him.
This sounded so like them. Can't wait to see the prank they play on Jon. I hope it isn't too bad, he's been so supportive of them!
What a hot and sexy end to such a wonderful story. Thank you for the beautiful happy ending.
This was heartbreaking. Yea for Jonathan being there to help her pick up the pieces.
So glad that Jim brought Jon as his date. Calm and sensible Jon is just what is needed here. And so happy that Pam realized that breaking up with Roy truly was the right thing to do.
Too funny that Michael watches "Pimp My Ride" so he can connect with the employees from "the hood". And it was so much fun to read about Kelly helping Pam with her make-up and her dress - and that Kelly thinks she's doing it for Roy.
I love how you're spending your evening entertaining us. Another awesome chapter, you have everyone's voice down so well! Michael trying to make the announcement sounded just like him. (But why can't she leave now, why wait till next week - ack.) I love how Jon is encouraging Pam not to give up.
Aww, I love that Jon tried to make Jim jealous, and it worked!! Also totally love the last line. Can't you stay up a wee bit longer and update? You can sleep in tomorrow, right? (Sleep is over-rated anyway!)
This was so heartbreakingly sad. I aboslutely loved the last line - "And there just didn't seem to be anything there."
This was an amazing chapter. I could just see it happening like this - Karen so sure and confident of herself and Jim at first thinking of Pam. Karen is exactly what Jim needs now and you did a beautiful job of showing us exactly that.
It was sad to read of the pain Pam was going through, but when compared to all of the pain Jim had already been through, it was justified.
This chapter covered so much. I think you captured everyones thoughts and feelings perfectly. You are an amazing author!
This was so heartbreaking. You write angst so well!! I love Jon and love him trying to help.
Awesome chapter, I really can understand Pam's pain but at the same time I feel badly as Karen is so into Jim and I think (hope?) she is heading for heartbreak.
10 Totally loved this chapter. Goodbye Karen, don't let the door hit you on your way out.
PS I think you meant eyes in this sentence:
Her ice were hard as flint, lips a firm line.
Hee, kaystar - I had to take a break from the writing to thank you for pointing that out! I've had wine, but not that much -- I'm just posting as soon as I get them done, so I'm proofreading quickly. :o)
Thanks as always for being such a great reviewer!
Aaagh - please don't leave us hanging! Powerful chapter but we need to see the next one, soon!!
I was hoping drunkJim would connect with Pam, not with Karen (pouts.) But this was a very well written chapter, I could totally feel Jim's frustration and Karen's pain. And I'm glad he didn't drink and drive.
At first she's all wrong, but in the end maybe she's a better fit.10 This story is beautiful in so many ways. First your sheer talent to write such an awesome story - and so quickly. And to take a rather unpopular pairing (to us Jam-ers) and make it seem so real and natural - wow. I truly loved this. You covered so much ground in such a short story. I loved the way their relationship grew - and really loved the proposal in Hawaii! I did feel a bit sad when Jim ran into Pam but she's the one who blew it. Jim deserves to be happy and you made it happen. And the last line - sheer poetry.
10 This was beautiful. I love your style of a few words about Karen and then elaborating in paragraphs that seem to escalate in time and feelings before Jim realizes what he lost and where his heart truly lies.
