What Karen is up to while Jim and Pam are on their first date, and beyond.
Ok, all us Jammers are happy about "The Job", and we know that in truth, it was good for Pam to "Grow a pair" (in Michael's terms) and have some time to figure stuff out on her own. But what if we just sped things up a bit? What if she gained that boldness sonner rather than later?
Spoilers through Casino Night, and (soon... when I finish...) through all of Season 3, including The Job!!! intrigued? Good. Come back soon to see the completion...
MEMBER'S CHOICE - An alternate universe where Pam and Roy had a wedding, Pam goes to art school in New York, Dwight owns a restaurant and Jim works for a job in advertising that he likes a lot more and gets a lot more money at.
Basically? Dunder Mifflin never exists. And everyone meets under different circumstances.
The characters are pretty much the same -- personality-wise -- they just have different roles and work different jobs.
Five Little Reminders That Simply Had To Go.
Sometimes Pam things that Jim is a little bit too gentle with her.
I'm marking that it's complete even though I left room for more if I get the urge at some point (which I probably will).
22 The Ladies Love Cool James. A few people run into Jim Halpert at the Super Walmart.Now that they are together, it's all about them.Pam gets a taste of what her life could be like. AU“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.
A collection of loosely-related moments (more like a bunch of one shots than a WIP. So jump in and out as you like.) Unapologetic smuff."So, Jim," she started, setting the empty can back down on the table as she returned his cup to him. "Have you ever done drugs?" She leaned in towards him for even more emphasis. She grinned widely at him before sitting back in her chair. [Spoilers up to and including Drug Testing for part one. Part two and beyond set in an AU-version of season 4.]While MTT was down for a brief time one night, I wrote a couple 55 word fics in the TWOP thread about Jim and Pam reading fanfic. I will likely continue this as a long running series, referencing my favorite stories and also newer stories as they come about.
Jim and Pam and two telephones, post-Season 3.A first fight and a bowl of make-up spaghetti. (No spoilers.)
This will just be a series of short vignettes about Jim and Pam getting to know one another as they start their adventure into true coupledom. Embarrassing moments, phobias, guilty pleasures....the truth comes out.
Right after The Job aired, someone on the NBC message boards posted with regards to Jim and a potential life with Karen in New York that “Jim is not the kind of guy to do the city...he's going to be much more content to live life with Pam sitting next to him on the couch while she rocks their baby to sleep.” ~sedimentary
This statement warmed me all over and has stuck with me for a long time. I wanted to write about it.
