Summary: This is a sequel of sorts to Her Eyes Were Shut and Now They Are Open, I would read that one first. It's a little one-shot.

It's been so long since this was written but I loved it too much not to comment. I felt this narrative deeply. The pain, the longing, the hope. Ugh, so incredible. Just lovely.

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.

I have come back to reread this story several times & know I will continue to do so. It may very well be one of the most beautiful, melancholy, hopeful, despairing stories I have ever read. It's difficult to put into words, I don't have your gift. It's been a long time since it was written & you may never read this but thank you.

Summary: Jim wants to stop Pam's engagement to Roy, but is forced to watch it all play out because of an obligation to Roy. How far will he let it go though?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this update! I've read it enough times that I didn't need to start from the beginning, but I wanted to, so I did. Great chapter, love that they're talking honestly (also love the non-talking) and Pam is so straightforward.

Did I mention I was behind excited about the update, because I am.

Complex emotions felt and described in such a scant number of words. Each time I've read this I've marveled at that fact. This is my little JAM palete cleanser!

Summary: Past Featured Story

Jim and Pam are CIA agents assigned to break a Scranton element of a smuggling ring. "Stamford" is a cover for Jim being recalled to Langley after confessing his feelings for Pam, but now he's coming back. And he has to recruit Dwight as an asset.

NOW COMPLETE. Set in AU S3. Spoilers through S3.

Summary: “Karen, I don’t even have his phone number. It’s been four years since we last saw each other. When we broke up.” Pam emphasizes this last part as if Karen needs the reminder of her best friend’s personal history. “It’s not like… Look, I’m not going to fall in love with him again.”

I've read this a few times, one of my favorites. I adore the Karen & Pam friendship & you have Karen's voice down perfectly.

I'd like to knock Jim & Pam's heads together! It's obvious they belong together but Jim has changed so much, could it possibly work?

Hope there will be more updates! Your writing is just brilliant!

Date: July 31, 2023 Title: Chapter 13: I Don't Love You But I Always Will

I am ridiculously happy to see an update. I may have spent most of the day reading the entire story from start to finish when I should've been working. This story is one I come back to and is the top of my "Where did you go,I want more please" list.

The Karen-Pam friendship, Jo, mural makeouts, yes, yes, yes. It is all so good, even the painful parts. This chapter was wonderful, angsty but not as gut-wrenching as some of the others. I am hoping they work things out and Slick Jim fades into the background. Douche canoe indeed!

So happy you are back! Hmmm, I wonder if your other unfinished work will see some action.

Author's Response: Oh thank you so much for those kind words! We won’t tell anyone how you spent the day. 😉 I’m tempted to work on another update soon! 🥰

Summary:

What if...Jim never got Pam's note? Jim accepted the corporate job? Married Karen? Pam quit? Married Roy? What if...both are divorced and run into each other again? AU.

I was excited when I saw there was an update! This chapter exceeded expectations, glad they found a way to burn off those nerves. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Author's Response: Thank you! I had mentioned this previously, but I worked on this chapter constantly and kept not liking and deleting what I had written. I finally got to this point with it, and I was proud! Exceeded expectations? Well thank you! Hopefully the next chapter won't take as long! Thank you again!

Summary: People don't show up in the small town of Hinton, West Virginia for nothing. Who would want to live in a town as small as this? When Pam Beesly arrives and has an accidental run-in with a local whose tragic backstory leaves him "undesirable," could her own tragic backstory come back to haunt her? AU. TW:DV.

I hope you continue this story. Only one chapter and I am invested. This set up is excellent, you packed a lot into it, emotion, intrigue, fear & friendship. Love your Karen & Dan here as well.

Would love more!

Summary:

Two months after her husband dies, Pam receives a gift from him that helps her in more ways than she could ever imagine. Now it’s four years later and she’s finally ready to start dating again, but just like everything else in her life, it gets a little messy.

 

AU based off of The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. If you’ve read the book, this plotline will be pretty similar while still incorporating characters/references/small plotlines of The Office as well as possibly my own little twists.

I don't know how I am just reading this now. Such an intense plot, it has me completely engrossed. You describe the settings, characters and emotions so beautifully I can envision it all. Roy really ratchets up the intrigue and suspense, he seems like a devious, disturbed and dangerous guy. Love how Pam had to take the bull by the horns and ask Jim out, clueless Jim is an adorable Jim. Also love that there were nerves and some awkwardness on their date, that is more realistic than declarations of love from the start.

Pam has also been a tad clueless. Roy has been over-the-top from the beginning, the mailbox note, showing up at her work constantly, the gift, limo, all of the red flags flapping in the wind. I hope there is more soon!!

Just reread this for the third(?) time. It's a wonderful story and damn it future Pam and Jim deserve some happiness. Pam's trajectory is so believable and the way they got pulled back into each other's orbits as well. I hope to see an update soon!

Author's Response:

Thanks so very much! Next chapter is on its way and I finally figured out how to finish the story so... :) 

Reviewer: Invisiblecynic Signed 1
Date: January 14, 2022 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Really excited to get an update! So much in this chapter to digest. Pam feels a bit surprised by and out of place in Jim's world which is understandable. She has only spent time with "casual Jim". I hope she is right, that "Jim was Jim. No matter where he happened to be."

I think it would be difficult for Pam and the boys to move to Philly. She has a support system and they're at that age where friendships are important. Her job may not be high-profile, like his is, but she loves it, it's important to her and something she sacrificed to achieve.

Time will tell if it is too difficult for Jim to permanently return to Scranton. It sounds as if he may be realizing spending time with his family as well as Pam's is where his heart lies.

It's swoon-worthy to find that the love they had for each other has remained through everything else.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review! 

I had a major writers' block but it's finally over. 

Yeah, you got it right. Apparently, Pam can't move. And Jim either. A bit of a dilemma.

Cheers!

I was excited to a ridiculous degree when I saw you'd posted new chapters. This is one of the stories that I really, r e a l l y, wanted more of. Great chapters! I feel terrible for Pam & even Philly Jim. Way to go Lewis!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!!!

The fact that I couldn't finish this story was really bothering me... for years! 

But now I have it all figured out and the last (lasts?) chapter is on its way. 

Cheers! 

Summary: Young reporter Jim Halpert travels to Savannah, Georgia to attend a mysterious, week-long party thrown by a reticent host. When a murder is discovered and the entire guest list seems to have a motive, can the truth be uncovered before the authorities arrive?

So happy to see a new chapter! I may have read it at 2:30am and it may have prompted me to have some very strange dreams but it's totally with it.

I have more questions than ever now. Why are the employees still working like maniacs with Packer gone? Who is the murderer? I have a theory. Everyone in the house! We need to talk.

I was so excited to see this update and it did not disappoint. The only negative thing is that it's over. This was such a unique plot, you managed to dump our characters in another time, place, and situation but they were all recognizable and themselves.

Cannot wait for what you write next!

Summary: Is it you? Is it me? Did you find somebody better? Someone who isn't me, 'cause I know that I was never your type.

Another season 3 fix-it, this one set during The Negotiation and based of the song "Good Things Fall Apart" by Jon Bellion.

This is how I like my angst, deep and fleeting (TWSS). So much emotion packed in a one shot. Always amazing when they honestly share how they were impacted by casino night, especially Pam. Jim wasn't the only one wounded. Angst with a heaping side of heat, nice.

Summary: AU It’s summertime and Pam is the head counselor at camp Dunder Mifflin Scampton. When the cute new hire Jim Halpert causes more trouble than she bargained for, Pam takes him under her wing and the spark between them becomes harder to ignore. As their relationship shifts to something that could almost be mistaken for serious, Pam has to keep reminding herself that it’s nothing more than a summer romance.

I have to say I felt sad when I saw "yes" next to completed before I began the final chapter. This was one of those stories that I kinda hoped would go on forever.

This last chapter did not disappoint, in fact everyone throughout the story was in character & it was so well done.

Can't wait to see what you write next!
