Summary:

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? 


Disclaimer (it's been a while does it go here?) I don't own these characters or canon elements of the story or an FSU mascot -  no CR infringement intended.

Summary: Feature

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.

Summary:

Don't let the name fool you. It's fantasy but Harry and Hermione don't actually show up here.

In fact you don't need to be a Harry Potter fan or even know anything about HP. 

You should enjoy stories about time travel and the magic of love.

Michael discovers a Time Turner and takes Pam on a time-traveling adventure. 

Starts off as canon but with time-travel, things naturally start shifting (but no shape shifting), veering and swerving soon after.

UPDATE 4/6 - Marked Complete - see story notes for a message of explanation and gratitude.  

What happened after Jim "struck gold" during his job interview in New York (season 3 finale) and before Pam went mining for celebrity sex tapes (season 4 opener), this chapter by chapter WIP has the story told through many points of view - none of them from the documentary film crew.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Pam and Jim had many missed opportunities but fate still brought them together. On Valentine's Day  they realize the first missed opportunity was much earlier when they were just 13 years old at a mutual friend's Bat Mitzvah. An AU like story based in canon. 

 

No copyright infringement intended.  All I own is a love of these characters.
