This will be a series, not sure how long, but all starting from a place inspired by an AU created in the future, and started in episode-centric events.  

 Pam is anxious, nervous and timid but will grow in confidence.  Jim is confident and self-assured but will show lovely vulnerability.  All events from the series still happened, but they are going to take some different turns.   

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.

Beth the waitress returns!

A series of stand alone, slice of life, one-shots in Pam and Jim's life, all tied together with the thread that runs through them; they all end with dinner at Christopher's, where (in my headcanon) they had their first date. 

The first and the last chapter NOW COMPLETE work in tandem, but everything in between is its own story if you want to pop in for one whose title strikes your fancy. 

It's Jim's first Christmas party in Athleap.

Pam decides to give him a hard time.
