It's 2022 and Pam has found herself in square one of the relationship game: single. Or, square two: single and ready to mingle. Lonely and ready to move on, Pam finds herself seeking companionship while she's away from home - just not a full-on relationship so soon after her previous one.
Oh what's that, a new match?
Set late(ish) -S3, possibly after Cocktails/The Negotiation (post Pam splitting up with Roy mk.II)
A bit steamy and a bit sweary at points.
Au, where Pam never dated Roy and once she left high school, she got an art degree. But she still becomes a receptionist at Dunder Mifflin, but in Stamford.
When the Stamford branch closes, she is offered a position in Scranton, which she accepts. This is where she develops a crush on the handsome salesman, Jim who is in a long term relationship with saleswoman, Karen.
Pam and Jim had many missed opportunities but fate still brought them together. On Valentine's Day they realize the first missed opportunity was much earlier when they were just 13 years old at a mutual friend's Bat Mitzvah. An AU like story based in canon.
No copyright infringement intended. All I own is a love of these characters.
“What was the point of secrets anymore, for three years he had kept this inside hoping it would fade but could only feel it getting stronger. Pam would reject him, Jim knew that, but at least he could say he was honest.” An alternate take on Casino Night.
