It's another Stamford office friday night, and Josh is buying the first few rounds. Jim tags along and hopes to start building some new relationships. That turns out to be more true than he could have imagined.
Just a collection of confections from a parallel universe where all the Herr’s potato chips in Montreal can’t keep Pam and Jim apart. I hope it’s as therapeutic to read, as it was to write. A bit saucy.This story follows "Grief Counseling". Ed Truck's death makes Pam reach out to someone.
It was too late to change her mind now. She knocked on his front door.
Okay, this is post Stamford (sort of) and is a little AU, given that we now know Jim and Pam have talked a little. It's a bit angsty, but I swear, I was absolutely seized by the urge to write this! It's based a little on some of the comments I read on Live Journal yesterday re: Jim as "a man with needs." Heh. That makes this sound as if it's going to be a pile of smut, and it's not. It'll just be a slightly different Jim - totally drunk!Jim.
Jonathan makes an appearance as well.
And for those of you who are concerned - remember, my fics always end with a happy Jim/Pam. :o) This one probably won't be as long as the others have been; I'm thinking it'll maybe be a two-parter.

This is a one-shot inspired by last night's episode and Hot!Tortured!Roy. I shall say no more. :o)
Feedback is appreciated!
Jim does what he intended on Casino Night.

Every evening, he hangs back just a bit longer than the others, and waits.Post Merger - Except the years he waited, he was able to witness her falling out of love - She's getting to watch him fall in love. Pam reaches her breaking point and decides to take a leap.This is just my answer to Thursday night's angst - my attempt at an explanation of what the hell they were thinking, as well as my offering of a happy ending (TWSS!).
