Jim, the dictionary and Pam’s reaction was glorious. Ugh. I loved it so much. This whole chapter was so, so great! That paragraph where Pam says “we” and Jim’s reaction was so very Jane Austen in all the best ways. Lovely writing!

I love a fic that breaks up Roy and Pam “quickly” (well, you know, relatively... ignoring that whole ten years thing...)
The fact that you still have pranks on Dwight in this universe is wonderful.
I’d write more, but I have to get to the next chapter after that cliffhanger!

Ha, Kelly as a high school student is absolutely perfect. It sure fits her character well.
Michael as an eccentric school principal? Definitely a concept I can get behind. Pam as a librarian is great. Jim as a hunky teacher - not at all difficult to believe.
I love the AU setup!

First and foremost, welcome back. Glad to see you writing again and that this story's progressing.
Nice nod to a few canon elements in the dream sequence there. It's a bit of trick to add canon elements when the story is AU like this, but that was a great way to do it.
I like the concern Jim has for Pam here. Nice to see their feelings are still on track with each other. Still a lot of mystery to everything going on with Jim though. However that just compels the reader to want more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, warrior! I am so glad to be back and to see so many familiar names. Thank you so much for your review, it means so much! I hope you continue to enjoy!

I gotta say, I’m pretty desperate for an update to this. When this began I feared that we would be in for a prolonged time of the love triangle with Roy. When I read that Pam had no family around and considered Roy’s family to be hers I was certain that it would take a long time for us to see Pam leave Roy. I was absolutely overjoyed when I was totally wrong and after finding out about Roy and Katy Pam didn’t hesitate and dumped him. I will say though that I’m more than a little curious about where Jim was, why he missed weeks of school. I’m wondering f that’s at all tied into the men who came after him. I’m filled with just tons of questions that I hope we’ll get answers to. Of course, I trust that we will since one thing I’ve learned about you is that you come back and finish what you start. 🙂. Even if it’s years later, you finish it. Of course I’m very much hoping that we don’t have to wait nearly that long to get this one updated. You’re an extremely talented author and I cannot wait to see how this story is going to unfold. I just hope that you continue it SOON!

OMG I need more of this! The dashing undercover secret agent Jim Halpert is definitely a character I need in my life! I’m excited to see which of our Dunder Mifflin-ites is working for the Russians (it’s the Cold War - It HAS to be the Russians)! My money is on Toby. Haha!

I really hope you continue this story soon. I got completely hooked and now I need to know what happens next
Date: September 02, 2018 09:39 pm Title: Chapter 3
PLEASE continue this very soon. I’ve just watched all of season 1 of Jack Ryan and your story blends The Office with that show so well. Having just watched it I can so clearly envision all,of this happening and I’m frankly desperate for more, SO MUCH MORE. I’m dying to hear hi. Explain this to her. I want so much to know why he’s teaching high school math when he’s clearly trained to do so much more. I want to know who’s coming for him and how he’s going to protect Pam. You’ve really done an amazing job getting me invested in this but I’m now so eager to know what comes next?! Please, update soon!

I’m hooked for sure. I can’t wait to see how this progresses! Great descriptions of the action, and I appreciate that we didn’t have to suffer Roy for too long haha.

I love this au you have created so much. I am very intrigued to see what happens next!

When I said I wanted them to keep flirting with big words, I didn't realize that Jim would literally protect her by using the dictionary as a weapon. Amazing.
I like this Jim, BT. I like him a lot.
Author's Response: ;) Me too.

See ya, Roy. What a jerk. (sidenote: my grandma was an Avon lady when I was little and I had so many of those lipstick samples and had forgotten all about them until you mentioned them here. That detail made me smile, even if Roy was being a dirty cheater.)
This chapter is so well done! I loved how time passed through the first semester and into the second and how we got to see the little moments that are bringing Jim and Pam closer together. The tie-ins to the show are lovely, and I am 100% supportive of them using vocabulary words to flirt with each other.
Author's Response: I’m so glad the Avon sample lipsticks brought back a happy memory! I had a ton of those too, as a kid. And yeah, bye Roy.
I’m glad you brought up the tie ins! I had fun working those in. And I have to say, I was so proud of myself with the word of the day flirting. It’s maybe my favorite part about this chapter. I hope you keep enjoying!

First off, I love how perfectly suited these people are for the school jobs you've given them, right down to Kelly and Erin being schoolgirls. That seems right.
I'm a big fan of this particular period of time and an even bigger fan of the idea of the Math Teacher and the Librarian, so I can't wait to see what's going to happen in this story!
Author's Response: Thank you! I actually consulted my husband—“what class do you think Dwight Schrute would teach if he taught high school?” I’m so glad you think they all fit! I love this time period, too, and I’m so excited to see them in it!
Date: July 05, 2018 11:36 am Title: Chapter 3
So this is actually pretty exciting! It was fun to see our favorite characters in this setting. I'm glad we just kind of sped through all the early Jim and Pam angsty days of the show. I'm not at all familiar with the novels this is based off of. So that'll be fun to see. All in all I liked it. Lots of typical JAM moments, but in a new world. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I was glad to get past the will they/won’t they unrequited love stuff. There will still likely be some angst, just of a different kind. I hope you continue to enjoy!
Date: July 05, 2018 08:53 am Title: Chapter 3
Do not stop! I’m hooked now! This is fun. And I-hurl-giant-library-books-at-bad-guys Jim is sexy. Oh my god!
Author's Response: I won’t! Thank you! And yes, I don’t know where it came from but I got a mental image of Jim beaning someone with a huge dictionary and thought “yes this, this is good, must write it down immediately!”
Date: July 05, 2018 08:46 am Title: Chapter 2
Uhm, WHAT? And here I thought I was getting a cute little story about a 1960s teacher romp. Holy shit!
Author's Response: There will likely be some 1960s teacher romping of a different kind later on ;) ;)

Oh my god. The shirt found its way into a fic. I LOVE it!
And I’m super excited about this! I usually stay away from things that don’t take place in the present, but you’ve given everyone roles that totally suit them and I’m dying to know more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I’m glad you read even if it’s not what you usually like. And I mean, that shirt just *had* to feature in a fic somewhere, right?
Date: July 05, 2018 05:20 am Title: Chapter 3
Daaang. I like this a lot, from the period piece element to the characterization to the fact that you've already ditched Roy. But I think I'm legally required to ask you the same question I asked AG: 3 WIPs, really? ;)
Author's Response: I know, I know! I just couldn’t help it. But I’m glad you like it so far! I’m enjoying writing it for sure. Thanks for reading!
Date: July 04, 2018 10:23 pm Title: Chapter 1
Loving this story so far. Please continue, can’t wait to read what happens next
Author's Response: Thank you! I plan on working on it some more this weekend. Literally all I want to do is write this story, so hopefully there will be more soon!

-She was hit with the realization that his shirt had really grown on her--she actually liked it now.-
Lol! Now that is love... Jim you need to find a way to marry that girl now!
I also think that pic needs to get done up with an aged filter and put at the end of this chapter.
Author's Response: Pam’s thoughts about that shirt mirror my own, haha! It grew on me slowly for sure. I do need to add it to the story since I firmly believe EVERYONE needs to experience that shirt! Thank you for reading!
Date: July 04, 2018 08:55 pm Title: Chapter 3
Oh my God, I love everything about this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I hope you continue to enjoy!
