A series of second  impressions (and some sneaky firsts) during significant moments of JAM. Earning my stripes through the unwritten rule that everyone new to writing this fandom must write this kind of story. 

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.

Jim finds advice in an unexpected place.  

Written for the 2022 Christmas story exchange. 

The List made me do it. 

A reimagining of the episode "Gossip" and all those sweet, sweet rumors.

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

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. :)
