Wife, mother (of children, not dragons, generally). Hopeless romantic, massive JAM shipper.
Also present on FanFiction.Net under the same name, where I wrote a fair number of stories for Bones, which for over ten years was the TV love of my life. Until now.
I’m still fairly new to The (US) Office, but as a Brit, I was really into the UK version and wasn’t too sure about this upstart US reboot, even with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s input. I’d seen a few episodes over the years, knew vaguely about the Jim/Pam storyline and that there was chemistry, but not really clicked on how good it was, and as for the rest, the little I’d seen? Well, Craig Robinson is Doug Judy in B99 to me, Rashida Jones - Ann Perkins in Parks and Rec; and I didn’t even know that Ellie Kemper and Ed Helms had been in it for several seasons, let alone James Spader and CATHERINE TATE?! Then I binge-watched it all the way through early in UK lockdown in Spring 2020 and suddenly it all clicked, and I fell hard for JAM. Really hard.
I’ve now watched some episodes several times, but I’m following via the Office Ladies podcast, so I’m really getting into the detail of the show itself as well as the love story.
In real life I have my own Jim (although his name isn’t Jim and he doesn’t work in paper, but he is lovely), two teenagers, a naughty Beagle and a cheeky Jack Russell. I work in the IT Industry.
A miniature Choose Your Own Adventure™ fic that offers four possible storylines immediately following The Dundies. What’s going on in Pam’s mind after she kisses Jim, and what is she going to do about it? That’s up to you!
So awesome you did another one of these! I absolutely love it. Nice work!

1 This was absolutely lovely, great first post!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
When Special Agent James D. Halpert is supposed to begin his first day as the personal bodyguard of the newly elected President William Beesly's daughter, Pamela Beesly, he didn't think he would be neck deep in a parasitic controlled religious cult based in a remote section of Spain hell-bent on world domination. Hey, just another day, right?
Future chapters will now only be posted over at Ao3. Follow me over there @ babyboyking for more updates. :)
1 Hello and welcome to posting on MTT! I’m not a Resident Evil person. Or a horror person. But I did want to pop on to commend you for a very well written chapter and I’m sure there will be people who absolutely love the premise and the gorier stuff. I’ll certainly give a second chapter a go.
Author's Response: Thank you! I’ve actually being lurking since like 2017 but have never made an account here until just a month ago. I figured I’d try my shot at some writing. :)
1 This is getting better and better!
Author's Response: Thank you!!
This was so entertaining again, nice work!
Author's Response: Thank you!!
1 Noooooooooo!
You need to fix this. Next chapter please. Must. Have. Happy. Jam.
Author's Response: ahhhhhhh, I'm sorry
1 That’s really sweet. Nice Drabble, Lady!
A story about a boy, a girl, and a word.
1 That was an absolutely pleasure to read. Straight into my favourites.
1 I think the way that you can read this top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top and it still makes complete sense. Nice work!
Author's Response: Oh I’m so glad you picked up on that! I toyed with which way round to have it for ages and then went backwards, thinking the most important moment was when they met. Thanks for the review.
This was absolutely lovely, Warrior! I think this is extremely “Jim” behaviour and his Michael-management spot on. Beautifully written as always.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Nice to hear I had Jim and Michael written well. Thanks for the feedback.
Jim, Pam, and Michael are office building tenants who share a love of true crime, but soon realize they’ve stumbled upon one in their own workplace.
So this is the most wonderful thing that could have been conjured from your amazing JAM loving brain! I love OMITB! I am so excited about this and how you’re going to build it.
Forget the investigation, this sends JAM in a whole new direction! (I hope no one has done that one yet other than your reference at the top of the chapter.)
Author's Response: Yay! I take it from your comment you're a fan of the show?
Oh yeah - I see Em mentioned the artwork in her review. That reminded me: That TOTALLY rocks. :)
How did I miss this? This is so lovely, TPB :)
8 1 Quite simply genius. Please do more of these! As good if not better than the rejected cold opens! (And it’s a high bar!)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! There are (probably) more of both coming soon.
This is such an interesting premise that I don’t recall seeing on MTT before and you write extremely well. I’ve enjoyed the first couple of chapters and looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you!
1 How the hell did I miss this story? Just want to say the fact you've mentioned Kalooki, THAT I STILL PLAY IS THE MOST AWESOME THING ever. Poor Pam though, I remember that "two under three" period, hard work!
Author's Response:
Ooh I don't know!! But hopefully you liked it!!
And absolutely Kalooki for the win!
1 OMG this chapter was so awesome, Angela actually showing some girl-talk humanity!
Author's Response: Hehe thank you!
1 This was altogether brilliant.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! So happy you liked it!
1 Oh Warrior, this is fabulous! I can’t wait to see how this unfolds…
Author's Response: Thank you! I've got a lot of fun ideas, should be a good time.
1 Am loving the slow build up of this, Warrior (and the recipes don't hurt either ;))
Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying the story and the recipes. Thanks for being here for everything.
you know what they say about having a six foot handsome man on your doorstep
1 This was brilliant. I know it’s for Mrs K but thank you for sharing, I absolutely loved it.
Oh, not sure the Americans will get the title though, they’re funny about the metric system over there…

Author's Response: this made me lol!
The List made me do it.
A reimagining of the episode "Gossip" and all those sweet, sweet rumors.
1 This is a lot of fun!
