Summary: This story takes place in October of Season 3, between Grief Counseling and The Initiation – deep in the heart of angst country. In one of my previous fics (I think it was Sheet Music), I put forth some rationale for why I thought Jim’s birthday was in October (like JK’s), so I’m going to continue with that assumption. Hope you all enjoy. Comments are always, always, ALWAYS most welcome!

I wish this continues, but I love the AU. Great concept.

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.

This was delightful, not least because I didn't know which day it was going to end on until it actually did.

Author's Response: Wow, what a compliment! Thank you <3

Summary: Jim has no idea how he’s gotten into a situation where beautiful, sweet, engaged Pam is fiercely kissing him in a dark corner at a party at Phyllis Lappin’s house at Christmas, but he knows that there are only a handful of possible outcomes, and while they range from one end of the spectrum to the other, there’s only one good one he can think of, and it seemed the least likely.

I can see how this chapter might feel abrupt, but I do think you did a good job of building up to it, so it works.

"John Schneider" does sound exactly like the sort of client Michael would have--and that he'd somehow find a way to re-charm.

“Don't leave, Jim. We're a good team, even if you're my worst enemy. And sometimes,” - Dwight let out a muffled cry - “sometimes you're tolerable!”

I love this.

Summary: Season 2 AU, post "Ben Franklin." I'm pretty sure Jim would have been angry had he known what Karen said to Pam in the kitchen. Epilogue now added!

I really enjoy this series; I'm not usually into fics that go beyond s. 4 or so, but this continues strong year by year.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, that's a reason why I started this fic, to make myself write about later seasons, glad to hear you still enjoy it as it goes on

I love this (and also the spinoff. It's a really awesome story itself). There's just something amazing about seeing Pam's changing thoughts and how it does or doesn't line up with her actions.

I love that ending! I mean, the whole thing is great, especially Pam overhearing, but the ending is special.

Summary:

 Like many high school sweethearts, Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly were sure nothing could ever break them up. And, like many high school sweethearts, life after graduation proved too much for their relationship to bear and they ended up going their separate ways. When their paths cross again 10 years later, old feelings are stirred up, but will Pam and Jim have a second chance at first love?

I mean, Jim...you don't have a problem, you have an opportunity. Gotta think in VP buzzwords and make them useful for once!

Nice chapter; good to see this back!

Summary:

This is a “what if” situation that takes place during S3E16: Business School. It begins the day before this episode, on Valentine’s Day 2007, and ends at Pam’s art show the following night. What might have happened if Pam actually married Roy on the wedding date he set on the Booze Cruise (June 10, 2006)? This fanfic finds out.
