Great use of all your elements and I loved your Penny!! The line about Pam wanting to sample Jim’s cookies made me laugh so much
Sorry it took so long to review (was on holiday) but excellent fic! Hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year!

“Pam, you’re squashing my footlong.” Dead. Literally on the floor. Too funny. 11/10

But also great fic! Very funny with the boob hats and I loved Jim’s flirty tone. Apologies for the time it took to review (damn holiday!) but excellent job!!

This was great fun! I have kind of a soft spot for Jim and Pam First Christmas stories. Because we didn't get one in canon, it's one of the few areas where we can write within the run of the show but still be free to explore. Thus things like Jim's beard. Great use of the opportunity.

Tons of fun with the cookie decorating gone awry. Makes perfect sense that combination of booze and bedroom would make other things fall to the wayside. Good thing everyone has a sense of humor about it.

Thanks for sharing this one. I really liked it.

I really enjoyed this! Poor Pam not getting what she wanted--except hooray for Pam getting what she did actually want. Adorable.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! (I still fangirl when I see a review from you 😍) very glad you liked it!

Meet Cute by proxy, how clever and holiday magical. Was getting "Christmas Wrapping" vibes as we headed out into the wastes. I also enjoyed the 'dhdr' line and the something better than ice cream line.

So tell me, which came first your story plot or the elements? Either way, I enjoyed how you brought them and the story to life-especially as I spent yesterday holiday baking and read this story while waiting on a batch.

Happy Holidays!

Author's Response: Thank you! I totally made this up to shoehorn plot elements into; I had no idea what to write before I looked at them. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I love Penny. She just cuts right through all the BS they'd normally have to deal with. It's so great to see someone just tells them straight, "look you two morons, you love each other, stop fighting it and enjoy it." Absolutely delightful. Though you have also made me want midnight ice cream while on duty tonight. Not a bad thing mind you.

Wonderful work as always. I really liked this one.

Author's Response: Thank you! I enjoy making someone just outside their relationship knock their heads together (metaphorically). I also wanted ice cream after writing it, if that helps, though I don't do late evening shifts.

I didn't see it coming in the first chapter, but I did fairly early in this one. Those two really are just destined for each other. I liked how they went about researching all the various ways to sell the dollhouse and guitar. Then when the gig was up on Christmas it had a good feeling of wholesome-ness. They realize how much they're alike and not mad at the other one. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.

Author's Response:

I figured that you would. It was written with many clues. Did you know the story it mimics? That was hinted at in many ways from the very beginning?

But glad, you enjoyed their planning phases...I really leaned into what was happening in the season in that part. 

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

this was so heartwarming!! i was reading this and run by taylor swift started playing and it was the perfect timing! no but fr i loved the whole story, and you REALLY took me by surprise because when i read the description i assumed dwight was gonna be the one who read jim's letter (not sure how that would've worked but it seemed logical) but ROY was the one who read it? you had me hooked AND shocked!!! i also really liked how you wrote jim and pam's thoughts and how this whole story turned out!! you're an incredible narrator

also, i'm SO glad this fic is recent because most of the time here i feel very nostalgic seeing the dates of most of these stories; it's nice seeing that people are still here!!!

Nice to get a last chapter for this one. I can picture and hear the oral diary entries - nice way to have them express some feelings to each other under the guise of play. Got some strong butterfly on my shoulder vibes in the closing scene of that paragraph.

Now the Roy's sister angle is not one I've seen done, but would make sense (like how she's slightly estranged from her selfish family) and like how you wrote it.

And here's where the one room/one bed plot pays off - nice way to end this one (while having her have some space and time in the relationship at large).

Author's Response: Jim and Pam almost always have fun together. So the fake journal entries seemed a great way to explore that. Glad you liked them. I've toyed with bringing in the idea that Roy's sister doesn't approve of Roy in the past. I'm glad it landed well with you. Same with the ending of this one. After a decent amount of soul searching, why not just reach out for what you really want? Life's short, eat dessert first. Wonderful to hear from you as always.

Reading about Roy’s history with his family certainly explains his behavior in his relationship with Pam,
and his shock over the fact that she actually dumped him. His ego is in shock. I like his sister and can understand why she distanced herself from that toxic family. I think it’s smart for Pam to want to take her relationship with Jim slow even though she confessed her feelings to him. I think she does need some time on her own before she moves in with another guy. Please update soon because I’m curious about what is going to happen when they go back to Scranton and Pam goes over to Roy’s with Hunter.

Author's Response: As always I appreciate your detailed comments. Lots of growth for Pam here that's for sure. I also wanted to add in some hope that though Roy is a bit of an oaf, with a bit of straight talk from his sister, he can turn things around. Also we have come to the end of this story. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to how things unfold from here. For now though we can leave Jim and Pam to enjoy their last night in the cabin. Thanks for the review.
