“I hope when we hire an actual customer service rep that Angela likes them more than she likes you." Oh, Pam, you sweet summer child. Also, the Rugrats reference! PANDER TO ME!
I really like Marina! Such a fun addition to this world. Although she is possibly evil.
Awwww, Jim. You have such a crush. Eh, I'm sure it'll resolve itself soon enough. The stocking stuffers are too cute.
"The absolute dream was how she felt right now with the mistletoe hanging above her and Jim – like she was about to receive a Secret Secret Santa gift from her Secret Secret Wishlist." Like this line a lot!
Oh, Pam. He knew full well you were looking at the mistletoe. He's just not prepared to believe yet...

CHRISTMAS CAROL FIC.
I love Mrs. Frobisher and her calm and clear explanations, and you win extra points for her turning out to be alive and well and possibly magical. AND for offering a fully plausible reason for why Jim doesn't end up going to Australia.
And Snow Day Jim and Pam are adorable!

Great way to get all your elements in here! And really like this, just wished they'd have kissed!!
Looking forward to seeing more from you!

For a pre-season fic where Pam is still engaged to Roy I can very easily see why she'd be so conflicted about the mistletoe. However it's also somewhat refreshing to have her realize this early that she's outgrown Roy. To it's going to take a lot more time and a whole lot of angst to finally figure it all out.
That being said, it was still very cute. Seeing the I have a crush jitters and all. Marina also feels like a breath of fresh air. If only she'd stayed around longer maybe both Jim and Pam could have gotten the perspective they both needed.
Well done for your first fic here on MTT. It was a lot of fun.

Oh this is really good, I love Marina and a bit of a revelation about Pam admitting to herself that she has a crush on Jim. Looking forward to more!

Hi welcome to MTT and congrats on posting. I love a good OC character! 😉 Looking forward to getting more Marina. I like her spunk. I also enjoy fics where Pam tries out taking off her ring. 😉

I very much enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing! Definitely here for early Pam/Jim.

Okay, this beginning feels very canon-complicit. The way-over-the-top Michael dopiness is fun. And I do love Pam immediately selling out Marina. It's interesting seeing her with a pre-Jim partner in crime! She's well-characterized in a brief appearance here.
"she tried to ignore their warmth from being on Jim’s hands. She tried not to think about how it was kind of like holding his hand." Eeep!
Congrats on posting your first story here! Welcome to MTT! Looking forward to more from you.

Welcome! This was great and I can’t wait to see what happens in chapter 2! Marina is a great addition! I loved this sweet little gesture from Jim that made Pam’s heart swoon… her secret gift to herself… thanks Dwight for spilling the tea! Brought back early memories of Office episodes when the Jam connection was so strong and yet, neither acted on it. Love Pam’s sweet doodle of mittens on Jim’s message too. Hopefully in chapter 2 we find that this Michael even will have propelled these two star crossed lovers together— and I can imagine Marina might play a part too… ;) Thank for sharing!

Welcome! I love the new character! This is so creative and gives a whole new insight into Jim and Pam! Can’t wait for more!
Date: February 28, 2023 05:21 pm Title: Warm Gloves
Welcome to posting on MTT, glad to have you adding your stories.
Kind of fun little walk down memory lane. I like that you trusted your readers enough to know this is a pre-camera story. Also Pam acknowledging early that she has at least crush like feelings for Jim. That she likes the thought of holding his hand. We did get some of that in canon so it's nice to see how some of those feelings came to be.
As for the ingredients, up to you. If you don't want any spoilers than you can wait till the end of the story. Otherwise it's your call. Looking forward to Chapter 2 for sure.

Glad you stopped lurking and posted! Congrats on your first story!
Super cute, I LOVE the idea of Pam taking off her engagement ring when no one can see and pretending she's holding Jim's hand. Her secret gift to herself, omg that's too cute
Marina sounds like a lot of fun!

THIS IS EVERYTHING I COULDVE EVER HOPED FOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I freaking love it. I’ll tape it to the fridge. I’m so proud.
Post-show/beard Jim is such a daddy and everyone knows it. We wouldn’t bestow this title lightly.
I bow to you and your amazing ability to write the perfect blend of smut/fluff/domesticity.
THANK YOU HAVE ALL THE JELLIES.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you loved it. Now never ask me for smut again, lol.
May your holiday this year be as daddyful as this fic.
Thank you so much!!

Lots of fun down in Austin for sure. The fact Cece has Jim wrapped around her finger is adorable. As a father, yeah it's hard to say no to those puppy dog eyes. Love that Jim and Pam are still so ardent about each other. Feels like they have a great relationship still and I love it. Though the continued interpretations were funny too. That is till they finally get home and are alone. Very hot back in the bedroom. Great job.
Author's Response:
Cece definitely gets whatever she wants from Jim. I’m pretty sure she got that puppy.
Team Halpert, all the way. Kidding, lol. Let’s hope they didn’t make a third baby with that.
Thank to you so much!!
Date: January 28, 2023 02:32 am Title: A Dandy Daddy Christmas
Yay you're back! This was amazing and IRWT would clearly loveeee this. You have done so well with your secret santa!
Maybe you really are JK cause you clearly know what its like to have 2 kids! The first bit and the way cece was behaving was being a parent down to a tee!!
You definitely deserve Jack Ryan after this but don't get sucked in for too long we need other updates from you!
Author's Response:
Maybe I really am. Who knows…
Thank you so much! And I will watch Jack Ryan… soon.

What a delightful little surprise this story is! I love nothing more that a good post finale Austin Jam story and beardy sexy Jim to boot? Just delicious! Cece may not be the most well behaved but definitely deserves points for knocking before opening the door and interrupting Jam’s sexy moment… it did give Jim and Pam a moment to become “presentable”, lol. I love the daddy banter.. because I was just chatting with MrsK about HER daddy Jim! I love the Isaac reference too… and yes, Jim’s back now… you can start being a douche to another family!
Cute little callback to reception Pam… I love that they are trying to sneak away for a little moment at the office party too… Jim deserves it after planning the party, right? And I love the shout out to MrsK’s OL question about the tie!!
Darryl was lovely in this little fic too… what a great little reveal that he knew about the Halloween tryst in Jim’s office at the Athleap headquarters! I loved his little comment about Pam not being able to pass for a slurry librarian since she couldn’t keep Jim quiet!!
Def got some PDA vibes of drunk Jam and loved it too! Kudos to Darryl and Melissa for being DDs and getting Jam home safely! And oh, glad to know Serenity by Jan is doing well! What a sweet and hilarious gesture from Pam! And clearly those candles still smell as strong as they did during Dinner Party! I loved Jim’s transformation as he realized that maybe he does love being a daddy to Pam too… albeit a much different daddy… and great callback to JF’s Tan Baster idea (although, I’m
Not as convinced as to the greatness of the idea as drunk Jim seems that be…)! Love Jim falling asleep immediately too— great call back to AK’s reveal on OL that during Sabre, there was a deleted talking head where Pam calls Jim out on falling asleep after sex… but she did just get him to admit to liking daddy from her, so… great job. Funny, sweet, and sexy. Go enjoy Jack Ryan. You deserve it!!!
Author's Response:
Aww thank you so much for this amazing review! I’m really glad you liked it.
I’d like to imagine he really had that transformation in Texas. Those Men’s Health magazines must have done the trick.
Thank God Cece knocked. She doesn’t need that kind of trauma.
I loved looking back at the OL stuff. There were so many behind the scenes that only two people who were there, could tell us.
Jim officially loves being called daddy. Take notes everyone.
Thank you again!

Well first off, congrats for popping your smut cherry. Very proud of you.
Second, you used my OL mention d84;a039;
Third, well done on writing this. I absolutely could not have done it
Fourth, it’s great. Just great.
Ok I’m gonna stop now before you get EVEN MORE conceited than you are
Great work buddy. You go enjoy Jack Ryan now
Author's Response:
It finally happened. I wrote some smut.
You had an OL mention? *gasps*
Just the two compliments? Really? *goes back to sleep*
Thank you for being such an amazing human being. *claps in JK*

Always enjoy a story with a bit of mysticism in it, especially when it offers the kind of subconscious hope it gave to Jim. Nice job with this one.
Author's Response: Thanks Max! I'm not much for the supernatural (a bit of a skeptic TBH) but I really wanted to write something with a vague hint of a Christmas Carol without it actually being a Christmas carol, or similarly It's a Wonderful Life. I wanted Mrs Frobisher to have a little hint of Clarence in this story as that enabler to help Jim have his happy ending (bit of an innuendo there but you know what I mean :D)
Date: January 08, 2023 05:43 pm Title: The Ghost of Jam's Future
This was a lot of fun for sure. To get more of a reason why every so often we'd get glimpses of the real Jim in S3 was a nice way to frame it. As Jim said just before they got married, he knew all along he was waiting for his wife. Love that we get more detail as to why he's able to hold on to that kind of hope. While it would have been fun to have an AU Jim and Pam get together early kind of thing, this works well too. By the time they're truly together, they're ready for each other and then have a bond so strong, nothing will tear it apart. Lovely job.
Author's Response: Thanks Warrior! I thought hard about those moments when "our Jim" rather than the "evolved" version popped out in S3. It made sense that his subconscious might have a reason for that, however far-fetched! I watch S3 with a heavy heart sometimes, mainly because I want Pam to shake some sense into him and to get them together that much quicker! But it just wasn't their time yet. And I feel like I've given myself a reason to be able to watch S3 with a little more enjoyment.

Let's all thank our lucky stars that Jim is such a klutz and bumped his head before his Australia trip.
And thank you Mrs. Frobisher. You're a really great wingman.
Author's Response: Thank goodness for klutzy Jim! I loved writing Mrs Frobisher, I had a clear vision of her in my head. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Never apologise for British spelling!!
I always like a Christmas Carol style view of the future, so I enjoyed this.
Would love to know what your words were! And I guess, thank goodness for that headache, in a way!!

To be perfectly honest, these gifts are pretty crap since they gave Dwight exactly what they asked for. Or maybe Jim should have specified that he wanted a hundred thousand dollars.
Such an amazing fic. And super thankful for such a Dwimmy present. Belated Happy Holidays!

You are most welcome!
No more fics for a very long time. I’ll send you a smoothie instead

Awww, such a happy ending for Dwight. I'm sure Pam planned it to be that way since... besties and stuff.
