“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
1 Oh man, I am really liking this story! I cannot wait to read more concussed Pam... with Jim!
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?
1 When I first started reading this, knowing it was alternate universe, I did not expect Dunder Mifflin to be involved. So when I discovered that this Pam was still our DM Pam and not some AU version working at some random coffee shop it wrecked me even more... just knowing this broken Pam is our sweet warm caring DM Pam, ugh. But honestly with Jim not there for her I could see this as as path for her. Here’s hoping Jim can join her there one day and all can be right in their worlds again.
I do have a guess about what happened to Jim therefore I have a very strong gut feeling this story may completely wreck me. I am fully aware of what you are capable of.
Author's Response: I labeled it AU since they don’t meet in the office, and since Jim isn’t working there, but I do plan on having different cast members pop in and out throughout! It’s definitely going to be gut wrenching but that’s what I take pride in, haha. I take your last couple sentences as a huge compliment, so thank you :)
If the film crew can call Pam and Jim out on their relationship in “Fun Run”, this doesn’t completely suspend disbelief… An AU take on “Back From Vacation,” wherein Jim receives some insight from an unlikely source.
1 This is an absolutely adorable and completely satisfying one shot!
Author's Response: Thank you! That’s so lovely of you to say & definitely the goal of a one shot!
1 She’s not so dorky anymore, Jim ;)
Sometimes I really love Kelly, she serves her purpose well. Actually everyone here was spot on, great ensemble writing.
I love this story!
1 Ya know, a couple weeks ago the Ross/Rachel “I’m over you/when were you under me” phone call popped in my head and I really wanted something new for jam inspired by that. This hit the spot wonderfully, especially the “hey suck face” voicemail, lol.
Loved this, can’t wait for part two!
1 Good gravy, you managed to make him practically fall head over heels before he even met her and it didn’t feel forced in the slightest. Their back and forth was superb, I loved reading every second of it. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That's really wonderful to hear, because I was worried about it.
Ha! That was amazing!!
Author's Response: Thank you!
I fully expect the backsliding but this side of Pam is always a great joy to read, especially so early on.
Author's Response: Thank you! We will have more of it, I assure you.
1 Oh this is fun! Can’t wait to hear more from Pam!
Author's Response: Thanks! Soon...
This was fantastic! Loved every bit of it!
Author's Response: Thank you so much - I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
