What started as a single little one-shot of what may have happened after Stress Relief. (Jim was panicked, Pam was scared. They needed a place to feel safe.) This has now become a little series of vignettes I can't let go of.
Enjoy!
Takes place inside/after The Negotiation..pretty much AU after that, but pulls in themes from Beach Games.
Lots of inspiration from Everything by Lifehouse
TW: violence, swearing, domestic violence…a VERY different version of what happened after Roy tried to hit Jim. If you have been through interpersonal violence, or experience anxiety & panic, please go gently here.
100% there will be good stuff as we go...hence the spicy warnings...but in the beginning, it is going to be BUMPY.
In the beginning, each chapter will switch POV, and it will most certainly be Jim/Pam POV, with minimal potential for others. Then the chapters will be longer and shared POV.
*Please, be gentle and kind with yourselves, if you choose to read*
Below are a few resources, but if you are a victim of DV and need resources...please hit me up on the Discord group...I am more than happy to help you with additional resources.

I own nothing outside of a bad case of creative insomnia, a caffeine addiction, a need to dissociate and relax with The Office and a passion for social work.

It's fluff, it's a fix-it, it's just a story.
Soulmates' first words to each other show up on their wrists under the light of a full moon.
Unfortunately, there are massive taboos about actually checking for these, because not everyone has one.
4 In a series of unaired interviews from Dunder Mifflin Infinity, it’s revealed that nearly all of the office knew about Jim and Pam all along.
