Okay so that was a nice development and omg such a cute way to repurpose their grocery shopping moment aww

Oh Pamelamala, yes get the confusion out of the way so they can finally both be happy. The parallels are fascinating and it's so interesting to see their dynamic twisted like this cuz even in a love/hate situation they still have their "banter" their "thing" UGH so good

Damn 😭 it's sad to hear he doesn't even really have his family to back him up?? :(( the bit about Pam being like Michael's little sister was so cute i love Michael and i think i like him even more here and now i just want Jim to know how much he does actually affect Pam. Oh these two sweet stupid summer children. The juxtaposition tho of their characters is interesting. Pam is coming off at least with more of a backbone and self assuredness. I really wanna see how that snaps or helps Jim out eventually it's interesting.

I love how metaphoric your writing style is and the chapter going full circle was just a delicious cherry on top. Thank you for sharing your talent!d84;a039;

Wow, not an ending I would expect. (Which is probably sad, as you already pointed to it, but give yourself a pat on the back for surprising me anyway :-).)

Your Chapter End Note was absolutely true. "OkI guess I can exhale now..."

"Like sometimes she’ll look at him in this certain way, lately especially, and he’ll think yes. He’ll think this is me that you’re seeing and talking to and he’ll hope that she can gain some kind of telepathic power just in that second so that she‘ll hear him and suddenly get it. Sometimes she’ll smile at him or flirt with him and he’ll believe it…he’ll believe her, until he gets hit in the head with a boom or until somebody yells cut and he’s reminded that the cameras are rolling and, unlike him, Pam is an excellent and skilled actress. Pam has a fancy degree that makes it really easy for her to pretend to like someone she actually hates. But sometimes he forgets that and those are really the moments that he loves his job."
I love this whole fic, I really do, but this might be my favorite paragraph in the whole thing. It's just such a beautiful distillation of the key idea.

I read this story for the first time yesterday. I'm reading it again today. I'll probably read it again tomorrow. Damn you are a writer!

Really great writing. Love the cool twist on the characters.

God. This is so good. I mean, I'm not even talking fan fiction good. This is better than most of the books I've read and I have a degree in English lit. I'm more on love with this Pam and Jim than the Pam and Jim on the show right now. I'm sure you're not around here much anymore but I really hope you're still writing. You have such a talent.

So this fic came up many times in the MTT 10th anniversary survey and I decided I better read it and wow, yeah, the hype is most definitely justified! Such an amazing AU you created here, your famous! Jim and Pam are quite different from show Jim and Pam but I still believed every second of it. Love this story, will probably read it 5 more times and will definitely be putting it on all the recommendation lists. All!
Author's Response: Wow thank you, NobleLandMermaid! So glad things are picking back up a little around here, and glad you enjoyed my imaginary universe for these characters! I appreciate the review and any recs!!

Ch.1 - Wow! This story was recommended to me by NanReg and I'm so glad! Such an interesting premise which I didn't fully understand at first but by the end of this chapter, it became clear to me. I love how different Jim and Pam are in this story. The best part? This whole story is completed so I can read through it in one sitting :D Or read a little and not rush through it. Either way...yay! More chapters to read!!!

Wow. That fic was soooo good. I really liked how you worked in that the show was sometimes scripted, so that Jim and Pam weren't completely different people to the characters we see. Very, very, very clever!
One of the best I've ever read!!

Just have to reread this every once in a while. IMHO, one of the best two stories ever posted on MTT. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!
