Y/N has been at Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch since she was eighteen, and since Jim Halpert showed up, they've been best friends. But, what if Jim never really loved Pam like he thought he did? And what if Y/N realised she liked Jim as more than a best friend? -- This is a Jim Halpert x Reader fanfiction originally posted to Tumblr by me (@jackryanplz). It follows the timeline of the show for the most part, starting in 2005. As such, use of offensive language accepted at the time will be included in the story as excerpts of the show's dialogue are a part of this fic. Nothing written speaks on my beliefs, this is a work of fiction. 16+ Warning: contains depictions of domestic abuse, discussion of death, scenes of a sexual nature and cursing.

Freshly moved from upstate New York, you're hesitant as life in Scranton PA doesn't seem too promising. You're 23 and just got out the longest commitment of your life with your ex boyfriend. Nothing seemed too promising until you meet a salesman at your new job who might just be worth it. (none of the characters are mine unless stated so all rights to the rightful owners)
