Bio:

Super late to this party... 

I’ve loved The Office for a few years now & have dabbled in fic for other fandoms. Deep in another rewatch, I thought there’s got to be some amazing fic out there for arguably one of the greatest shows of all time & here I am - potentially attempting to devour the MTT archive in its entirety?

 If I manage to stop reading for long enough, I may attempt to add a few ideas of my own. Time will tell.

Edit May 19: Understandably, I've fallen head over heels with this archive and all that it offers. I've started a Fic Rec Friday thread on Twitter, where I enthuse about the many stories that have brought me joy. So, I'm just putting it out there if you'd like to stop by and have a look. I'm also super open if you have any suggestions that you think should be added/are must reads...

Summary: Past Featured StoryThis is the last of my "near miss" rewrites for season three episodes. This one is based on "The Negotiation" and also a Pam talking head from "Michael's Birthday". It's also more angsty than the others.

Many thanks to GodInThisChilis and to Beeswax for their amazing advice and encouragement. Thanks also to all who have read my stories.

What if Pam refused to let Angela drop her off at home after the Dundies?

“I want to go to Jim’s,” Pam said, interrupting Angela’s thoughts.

Angela felt as though her head might pop off and land in one of her cup holders. Would the depravity of this night never end?

New Chapter added - more Jim/Pam holiday fluffiness.  :-)

Summary: Season three ended beautifully. But from about Benihana Christmas on, I felt that there were many near misses on Jim and Pam actually having an honest conversation.

Here's another take on what might have happened if Jim had found Pam crying over him in Back From Vacation. I know, I know...done and redone. Just can't help myself. Spoilers for Back From Vacation.

Summary:

After a slight pause, Jim rose as well, moving to follow Dwight.  Pam stood and shook her head at him. 

 

            “Let me go…I owe Dwight one.”

 

 

 

Alternate Scene for Money I couldn't get out of my head.  What if Pam went after Dwight?  Short, comments would be great.

MEMBER'S CHOICE - "Here’s the thing Jim, sometimes being in love means doing things you don’t want to do for the other person. For you, right now, it means just being her friend. And I think you’re selling yourself short, you are strong enough to do this."

Jim gets some much needed advice about Pam and a little push in the right direction from Mark's girlfriend Jane. Spoilers through the Negotiation.
