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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjDojEOiMcE

TW: violence, swearing, domestic violence…a different version of what happened after Roy tried to hit Jim.  If you have been through interpersonal violence, 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.

Each chapter will switch POV, and it will most certainly be Jim/Pam POV, with minimal potential for others. 

*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.

In different places and different times, Pam meets Jim, and these meetings change both their lives. 

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. :)  

Pam discovers Jim is gentle when he wants to be. She thinks he wants to be gentle with her.

Set in season 3 rather than season 8, Jim discovers he has high-blood pressure, and things only decline from there.

And yes, the title is a Mitski reference, because her music is everything. 

Life as they knew it is over. Everything has been and can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Despite this, they found each other. But can they ever find home?

Inspired by A Quiet Place.

Jim suffers a traumatic experience after one of his pranks goes horribly wrong.

Set after: S7 - Classy Christmas, definitely canon divergent 

Warning: This story will cover PTSD

Trigger warning, violence

Meeting in an unusual place in life, a broken Jim and Pam try their best to put the pieces of their lives back together while not falling apart and back down the hole that they're trying to help one another out of.

Based on the song "How Not To" by Dan + Shay, because do I *ever* write something that *isn't* based on a song? 

AU from “Negotiations”; Roy isn’t in the mood for closure. Pam suffers the consequences and rises from the ashes, while Jim tries to find his way back to her.
