i feel like my stomach bottomed out omg? Okay he wasnt a douche but ..sigh yeah. Truly just having fun on the boat. Also. Ilove how this kinda mirrors what Ryan said about him being different bec of the environment of the office. Amazing foreshadowing(?) is that correct? But yeah just amazing writing all around.

JESUS. CHRIST. okay first of all WOW second of all HOLY SHIT third of all...i am actually incredibly glad about the end...see i was worried cuz I dont exactly love Karen becoming collateral in this way :( this is such a thrilling side of Pam but at the same time :(((( Besides that, it's incredible how youve written Ryan here. Im kinda glad she said his name instead.

Not done reading but once again, literally this story has it all. Angela being herslef but also softer to Pam is making my heart break. I loved how it's almost similar to how Dwight was soft to Pam during his concussion. And the way you write Angela and Dwight!! I can see why Pam would feel jealous 🥲 the way you baked the angst into this is splendid

At this point I'm just hoping HOPING ryan doesnt become a douche PLEASE IM BEGGING

Okay finally done reading the entire chapter. You balance the tense moments between them and such cute banter SO WELL. It's almost like I'm also Pam, interspersed with moments of glee and then anxiety and angst. The pacing is exceptional. And that little question during the drinking game about cheating tumbled me out of my seat

NOT DONE READING BUT I HAVE TO COMMENT ON DWIGHT AND PAM HIGH FIVING it's like you looked directly into my brain for this fic it literally has EVERYTHING. I love Pam's boldness here and how she gets along with everyone. I needed that for her in canon. And jim being jealous over someone who isnt a total moron (sorry roy) THANK YOU

You write Ryan and Pam's dynamic in a way that has me rooting for them im so sorry? At this point I'm just hoping they remain good friends instead if they cant be endgame 🥺

There's a deleted scene in The Job where Ryan actually jokes with Pam and it was SO. CUTE. I can totally see early season Ryan getting along somewhat with Pam, before he turns into a douche 😭 i absolutely adore how you e written the interactions here and with Karen too 🥺 they rlly would have been such a great friends. And jealous Jim is just the icing on the cake for me 🫶

I know this was written some years ago, but thought deserved a review. On the one hand this was brilliantly written and very absorbing, but I also wasted over an hour of my life for Pam and RYAN?! That’s should have had a warning! Absolutely abhorrent as an end for me I’m afraid (I should have seen it coming) Congrats on the excellent writing though. JAM FOREVER!

Wow, this was not where I thought (or wanted) the story to go, but you did a great job.

I read this a long time ago, and I still come back to it. It's a fun ride all the way through, and the final two chapters hit especially hard. There are so many lines that I've quoted to myself.
I love your attention to detail in this story. You manage so many little throwbacks, like the stamps that don't say "love" on them and Ryan asking Jim to send a postcard from Australia. Your use of quotes as chapter titles is honestly inspired.
The characterization is amazing. You use real issues from the show that undermine Jim/Pam (e.g. Pam being friends with Dwight, Pam being friends with Karen, Pam wanting something more than Dunder-Mifflin, Jim always holding onto the railing) to make Pam want more. And Jim is so recognizable as he leads Karen on and tries to start a relationship with Pam without really putting himself out there.
I ship Ryan/Pam, but I appreciate how this fic really transcends shipping. At its heart, this story is a love letter to Pam, and I'm very proud of her every time that she realizes that she needs to do something for herself.
Thank you for a wonderful story!

GO RYAN! Sorry if I'm late to this site but I kind of dig stories like this and I'm so glad I found this!!!!

I'm going to be honest, when I started reading this I had actually no idea it was Ryan/Pam, I came here looking for Jim/Pam and just wasn't paying attention. But I have to say you completely SOLD me on Ryan/Pam! This was such a gorgeous story! The relationship grew so naturally, and you really made Jim and Pam not work in a way that seemed believable and in character! You are so talented, thanks for writing this!

Awesome ! Ryan and Pam is the best- please more of them. Also when you said she went tober to his place you never said it was Ryan's place so you might have wanted to state a name .

Ugh. This was sad.

So I know this was written agessss ago. But it's such a different fic that I just need to vent, even if you probably won't read this.
I like Jim in this. I think you've portrayed him fairly spot-on, in a broody, angsty way. One of the things I think everyone loves about Jim is that he's always just been so in love with Pam. Even when he was with Karen, even when he was in Stamford, even when she shut him down, he loved her. And I like that you've portrayed that in this.
Pam in this is... too much I think. I appreciate what you're trying to do with her but i just don't see it. I mean, this was prior even to the fancy new beesly we have now. She was still wearing her hair up (ultimate symbolism), she hadn't had her coal walk, she hadn't done, or been through any of the things that make her the stronger character we see in the series now. The thought of her jumping into a relationship with Ryan, at this point in the series, seems just off. At first, I thought she was just using him to bait Jim, which I can imagine a bit, but yeah, not to this extent.
And Ryan. I like that you justified his douchieness. I'd probably be a bitch if i had to work with michael scott too. And in S1-3 he was half way normal. It took my brain a while to work its way around the dynamic they have now in the series - where Ryan and Pam seem to hate each other - to where you're portraying them to be. But yeah, all I could think about when I was reading this at the start, was Ryan's continuous rejection of Pam when Jim left. Like Pam's smiles at him in the conference room and him being like "what". I don't know. It just didn't sit right.
But honestly, it was fantastically well written. I'm a die hard JAM fan, so I was never going to fall in love with this. So you did pretty well in trying to convince a lost cause.
