Bio:
Bio:
Wife, mother (of children, not dragons, generally). Hopeless romantic, massive JAM shipper.
Also present on FanFiction.Net under the same name, where I wrote a fair number of stories for Bones, which for over ten years was the TV love of my life. Until now.
I’m still fairly new to The (US) Office, but as a Brit, I was really into the UK version and wasn’t too sure about this upstart US reboot, even with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s input. I’d seen a few episodes over the years, knew vaguely about the Jim/Pam storyline and that there was chemistry, but not really clicked on how good it was, and as for the rest, the little I’d seen? Well, Craig Robinson is Doug Judy in B99 to me, Rashida Jones - Ann Perkins in Parks and Rec; and I didn’t even know that Ellie Kemper and Ed Helms had been in it for several seasons, let alone James Spader and CATHERINE TATE?! Then I binge-watched it all the way through early in UK lockdown in Spring 2020 and suddenly it all clicked, and I fell hard for JAM. Really hard.
I’ve now watched some episodes several times, but I’m following via the Office Ladies podcast, so I’m really getting into the detail of the show itself as well as the love story.
In real life I have my own Jim (although his name isn’t Jim and he doesn’t work in paper, but he is lovely), two teenagers, a naughty Beagle and a cheeky Jack Russell. I work in the IT Industry.

Ohhh I like this, haven't seen a college fic for ages. Looking forward to see how this goes! One question, is Pam actually with Roy at this point or is that just a memory of her having had a crappy dinner wit him?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Yep, she is still with Roy at this stage, but wanted the relationship to be further along in this universe.

Boooo - Roy needs to go already and we’ve not even gotten to him yet! That was a fun chapter, looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I feel that way about Roy too, and its fun dropping in hints of the state of the relationship before he's shown up in the fic.
Summary: So what did Jim get for his 30th birthday?

Not Time Travel but Time Travel adjacent.
A kind of fantasy in reverse – Pam wakes up to find herself in an alternate life without Jim, her children and much of the self-worth she found being in love with and by him. Could she find it again with Jim gone from Dunder Mifflin and without him could she break free from Roy to get back to her other life?

The gradual reinvention of Pam Beesly, over a few month period— physically, emotionally and artistically.
Title from ‘Express Yourself’ by the Black Eyed Peas. From the Bratz Movie soundtrack, because it’s an unironically good song.

Hi, I really enjoyed this, was a really entertaining read.
If you get a chance, I saw a couple of typos - "groyne" I think should be "groin" (the former is used to reduce wave action/erosion on a beach, pretty sure Pam wasn't looking at that) and at the end you said "grin" but may have been "green" (or even "grinning")?
Author's Response:
LMAO ur right about the typos, i wrote a lot of this at 5am and google docs auto corrects a lot of stuff that doesn’t need to be corrected. thank you!!
and thanks for reading!!

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?
