aaand you nailed Angela and Dwight. I'm curious about their story (and where is mose?).
"Jim felt his brows met, "Shaved?" ---- Noooo!! no no no no keep the beard *whisper*
Lifting his head to look at her, he swiped an open palm over his face. "You're so beautiful." --- yep, love it.

I love everything in this chapter. Now, this:
"Jim placed his hand on her shoulders and shook his head again. "The only thing that made that place home was you," he signed. He pointed to her, then touched his chest with his palm and with fingers gathers tapped his cheek and then his jaw. "You're my home."
And this:
He pointed to his heart, then crossed his forearms over his chest and finally pointed to her. Tears sprung to her eyes quickly and she took his hand and leaned forward to kiss him. "I love you, too." she whispered, her forehead pressed to his. ---- BRAVO! the tenderness omg

This is amazing, I'm trying my best to read at a slower pace because I don't want this to end! lol You have succeeded in maintaining the AQP atmosphere and all the little things that make me love JAM at the same time. I just - have no words?
"Pam passed a sign for Mount Pocono and she sniffed, “I was gonna finally do it, Mom, I was gonna leave. If I were braver I would have done it a long time ago-” “Pam, you are so much braver than you realize,” Helene quickly said. --- Yes, she is. Fancy New Beesly has always been there.
I kind liked how Roy died. It reflected pretty well his character and personality.
"She smiled and reached up to wipe her eyes, her gaze falling on a card Jim was clutching in his lap. His hand obstructed it, but her name was clearly written on the front." --- oohh THE CARD!!!
Also, the Larissa & Jim moments are so powerful.
"Before she could turn back to face him there was a boom and a crack. One more boom and the door came off it's hinges and fell. Filling the entire doorway was the outline of a silencer." --- what an unnerving sense of danger, I had chills.

WOW. I've been in tears since you described Larissa's death, and holy cow after this I'm just dying. My heart hurts for them but I could not be more excited about what's to come. This is amazing.

Oh this was lovely. Thanks for updating, and I like very much what you've done with the update. They got to hear each other! SO SWEET. I'm enraptured.

I just binged this all in one sitting and I feel so conflicted! I’m so happy to have read something so great but I’m already missing reading it! Great job!
Please update soooooon :)

Quite the roller coaster with this chapter. The first parts with Pam and Penny add a lot to the sense of dread Pam is feeling here. Considering everything going on in this world and those kinds of experiences she's had, it makes complete sense she'd be so anxious about everything.
The dread they felt as Dwight led them out of the farm was well placed too. Often times it's what we imagine that is more scary than anything that could really happen. While I'm hear it was heartbreaking to hear more about Ben and Mose. Everyone has lost loved ones in this world. You really make the reader feel for Dwight and Angela there.
Great way to give Jim and Pam somewhere to let themselves be heard. Not just with their voices, though that was touching. They're also letting their feelings be heard in a variety of ways.
To wrap it all up with a proposal was very sweet. Great job as always.

Just stopping in to say
1) I missed this story and
2) I didn’t think a “smutty” scene could very well break my heart, but you have officially proved me wrong.

I love, love, love Dwight and Pam’s friendship and this is no exception. I think you’ve built it beautifully to both mirror canon and fit uniquely in this universe. It’s also fun to see Dwight and Jim’s dynamic in this world. It adds a little levity to the situation.
The proposal was very sweet too. It’s nice to see it bringing a little comfort for all those conflicting feelings about the future.
Of course Dwight has a bunker...
It was great to see an update, I anxiously await the next one!

Ahhhh. I can’t believe I’ve reached the end (of what’s currently posted). It’s like when you binge a great show that’s on Season 4 & you finally catch up & have to wait a week for each new episode. I’m glad to hear you’re working on the next chapter!
Poor, poor Angela. Poor Dwight. Bless Mose. He’s a sweetheart, always. It’s nice to see Angela open up to Jim here.
Pam and Jim have certainly gotten themselves into a wonderful, difficult predicament... I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with it!

I think this is my favorite chapter so far... The journey Pam travelled, leading her to Jim. Pam’s kindness towards Dwight. Pam and Jim just generally being adorable and in love.
I hope with Dwight’s analysis of the encounters they’re able to figure some things out - like how to take down the demons/silencers. I’m a sucker for a happy ending & I’m a little worried that’s not where this is ultimately headed...

Pam and Jim dressed like Pam and Jim was unexpected in this world, but I kind of loved it. A nice prelude to the more physical side of their relationship taking shape.
I’m feeling for Dwight & Angela... But somehow this chapter felt lighter, the little hints of humor/joking with each other adding to that familiar dynamic. I feel like they’re in their groove. I love the Jim has his disc-man, adding a very tangible soundtrack to moments of this story.

I am so here for Dwight, Angela, the cat and the goats! It seems fitting that Angela would call the creatures demons. Even without speech, Dwight is still so very Dwight. It’s great!

Oh. My. God. Schrute Farms was a treasure I was not expecting to encounter in this story... I now have my fingers crossed for Dwight to feature...
I’d be remiss not to comment on the Pam/Jim situation and their confessions of love which gave me all sorts of feels!

Okay, that “Troy the troll” line was comedy gold. I loved the Christmas present & the repurposing of the teapot card! I hope Pam gets to read it a little sooner than canon - I don’t think I can wait like seven seasons this time...

I loved the contrast between Pam & Jim’s dreams. I completely get the unconscious brain dreaming in both those ways when faced with a silent world. I found it a really interesting inclusion.
The unicorn necklace storyline was adorable. Jim has caught feelings! I loved his flicker of jealously. Smitten Jim is such a sweetheart.

Poor Roy... kind of... I did love his final words though. Trish sounds like a treasure. I like the idea of Roy having a sister with a few more redeemable qualities.
It’s a nice kind of tentative friendship that you’re building here between Pam and Jim. I’m too impatient to keep reading to leave thoughtful reviews...

First of all. I didn’t watch the trailer. Whoops. I did watch that clip of the kids in the car & John signing “I love you” and then screaming, so I feel like I have the gist of it anyway...
So much of what makes up Pam & Jim’s chemistry is their banter. It’s interesting to see what remains when that’s minimized. There’s still some sort of a spark, that much is obvious. I’m intrigued to find out more of Pam’s backstory too.
Is Howard, Ryan? If so, I am not a fan in this universe...
My heart hurts a little for Larissa, & Jim. I suppose that’s the thing about an apocalypse, there aren’t many silver linings...
Onwards to the next chapter!

Oh, this chapter.
I knew Angela's story was going to be sad but I still wasn't ready for it... I'm glad she was able to talk to Jim about it and that they were able to have that bit of a bonding over survivor's guilt.
And I especially love that even in her own grief, Angela just can't believe how dumb and naive Jim and Pam are concerning their little situation. Her passive comments were peak Angela.
Oh Jim. Oh Pam. The Larissa flashback/dream were lovely and sad all at once and I know that Jim's going to protect Pam the best he can but like, I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready to handle those kinds of scenes.
Everyone's going to be okay in the end, right NLM? RIGHT??
Author's Response: I mean do you really want me to give it away? (Also you’re assuming I even know what’s gonna happen 😆) thanks for your review. Writing a believable Angela is what I’m the most nervous about so I’m glad to hear I’m at least keeping her in character.

I may or may not have squealed out loud when I saw the update to this. I love this fix. And great chapter. Was nice to find out what happened to Ben and the wedge between Dwight and Angela. And of course love the surprise at the end. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading! Bout time for me to get cracking on the next installment!
