Holy f*ck! This has been amazeballs so far. You made me cry, happy and sad tears. Thank you so much. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Summary: This is another alternate ending story from season three, beginning just before Phyllis' Wedding and ending at Business School.

Many thanks to Beeswax for her advice and encouragement.

I still own nothing, not The Office, not Jim and Pam, and nothing affiliated with TV or Scranton. I am, however, getting a new laptop for Christmas, which is why I'm purging this one of this story before the holiday. On that happy note, thanks for reading!

I loved every word of this beautiful story. Thank you!

Summary: Past Featured StoryThe first time she does it, it’s simply to answer a question: how quickly can she pack the essentials and make it out to the car? She doesn’t know exactly why she wonders; something, surely, related to a friend having to pack an overnight bag during a pregnancy or an episode of Oprah or something.

There are tears in my eyes and I do not know why. A beautiful idea, that was just perfect. Thank you

Author's Response: Wow, what kind words! I’m glad you liked it <3

Summary:

Pam calls off her wedding. Roy loses it. Jim's in Stamford, but not for long. 

A hospital stay and the recovery afterward, almost entirely from Jim's POV. Earnest and fluffy and sweet, with a side of steam for dessert. Tons of inner monologue, lots of dialogue, dramatic with plenty of humor sprinkled throughout.

I love this. So beautifully written with poignant emotion and drama, with the right amount of humor in just the right moments. This is a new favorite of mine, and this will most definitely read again.

Author's Response:

Dang you're a fast reader! Thank you so much for the feedback :)

I'm on the lookout now for a new story idea. My inspiration has run dry. And that's what's goin' on!

Summary: Past Featured Story

The Office meets Parfumerie/She Loves Me/Shop Around the Corner/You've Got Mail. Pam and Jim meet earlier in life in AOL trivia chatrooms without knowing who each other are. 

In addition to the above-mentioned sources, also owes a lot to a number of fics on this site, most notably Expressions in Emoticons and the Love-Song of Squirrel McPants. 

Now Complete: AU, starting before S1 (and thus also a Prior Meeting), running into S2.

This is so cute!
Love the concept, and it’s written so well.
I have reading a lot of your stories lately, and have loved every one of them.
Thank you!

Author's Response: Thanks! I really enjoyed writing this (as well as everything I've written on this site) so I'm glad you enjoyed it too!

Summary: Past Featured Story

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.

Summary: “Karen, I don’t even have his phone number. It’s been four years since we last saw each other. When we broke up.” Pam emphasizes this last part as if Karen needs the reminder of her best friend’s personal history. “It’s not like… Look, I’m not going to fall in love with him again.”
