Post-"Gay Witch Hunt"; Pam's growing up and realizing that if you want something, sometimes you have to fight for it.
10 This story is so good. I like the idea that Pam might have some unspoke, unacknowledged (because she does have a deniel problem, even if she's working past it) anger at Jim for kind of abandoning her.
Jim doesn't have to stay at Wendy's, does he?
This might turn into something like my Away From the Cameras (in that I'll try to do one for every episode). This is, of course, assuming that those sneaky writers don't reveal something totally the opposite of the assumptions I'm going on here.

I'm really loving this, and think I actually need it and fics like to survive the absolute dirth of Jim and Pam (and the Jim/Karen. Stupid chips.) on the program.
More, more!
This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well. I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.
This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters. My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

And it's only Friday, and I think you said your husband was gone all weekend! Yay! (for the fic, nothing against your husband:))
Such sadness! And it is awesome, as usual. More, more!
10 Aaargh! Why do you have to sleep? Why?
This is awesome. The last scene when Jonathan suggests he might possibly be intested in Pam, and Jim's reaction? I was actually breathless. I think my heart rate picked up:)
10 Um. Reposting to prove that I can spell interested. Obviously Jonathan was not intested in Pam. I don't know what that is, but it sounds repulsive. Clearly, I should go to bed, too.
10 So very, very good. I'm so glad Pam got some gumption - it's very true that Pam was put in a nightmare situation on Casino night, no matter how much she loved Jim. Now, if only we would see some of this love on the show...
When gods want to punish us, they grant us our wishes.10 I'm really loving this - it's such a cool concept. Update soon!
(Creed repeatedly calling Pam Sam - hilarious)
Five ways Jim finds out about Dwight & Angela.10 This is so cute. I love #1, but I think I like #2 the most. Talk about a way to break the ice:)
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I think "dirt on Dwight" would be the ultimate peace offering for Pam to offer Jim, don't you?
She didn't know what hurt worse; that Roy's family hated her, or that he didn't.
This was very good. To think about the enormity of calling off a wedding...Good for Pam!
A really nice look at all of the people you don't think about when a wedding is called off, like Pam's mom, who is wants what is best for her but is still disappointed, and the (not quite) sister-in-law who lost weight.
It is fics like this that are getting me through these sad, Jim&Pamless episdoes. I so hope something like this is true. How can each be so chipper? How? They were practically codependent before.
Anyway, I really like it:)
This story follows "Grief Counseling". Ed Truck's death makes Pam reach out to someone.
It was too late to change her mind now. She knocked on his front door.
10 This is so sweet. And this part,
"Really? He said he was so heartbroken he had to leave, and he was really upset about it because Josh is an ass."
completely cracked me up. The truth according to Michael Scott.
Ryan finds an assortment of junk in Jim's desk. He lets Pam decide what to do with it.10 I loved this, loved that Pam was the unshippable item. Are you going to continue this, have a chapter where Jim receives the envelope? Please?
Author's Response: It wasn't in the original plan, but it certainly open for a chapter 2, isn't it?
MEMBER'S CHOICE TOP NOMINEE - Jim and Pam must interact in network sponsored live chats to promote their documentary. Angst (and maybe some smut) ensue.
Story now complete.
9 I just read this all at once last night and it is fantastic. So original, and the whole chat room/email vs "real life" concept could have been really confusing, but you executed it really, really well. I stayed up until 1:00 in the morning reading this, and I have a three-year-old and a baby, so anything that I willing to give up sleep for must be great:)
MEMBER'S CHOICE - Katy and Jim are still dating during Jim’s “Email Surveillance” BBQ. When Pam sees them together it lights a fire under her.I just found this story and read it all at once. I loved it! I love intimacy smut:) I thought the built up, with Pam's slow realization that she had been in love with Jim all along, was very well done, and very believable. It's so nice to discover a great new author. Off to read more of your stuff:)
Author's Response: Thanks, Muppet. I love the build up ;-) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. Really means a lot!
77 The title says it all.I really enjoyed this, and agree with your opinion about Pam's return. It's hard to remember most of the time that the virtue isn't succeeding, but trying in the first place. There is no shame in pursuing something and then finding out that for whatever reason it isn't for you. That's how you find out what IS for you. Anyway, I really like this series of Jim and Pam snapshots.:)
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! You\'re right - there\'s no shame in failure if you\'ve tried, and Pam just doesn\'t fit a certain mold. She\'ll be okay, though. :)
