Glad to see you back at it, thanks for updating!
I really liked how you portrayed Pam's shock at the situation, the mental disconnect with reality came across quite well.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Author's Response: Thank you! I’ve never been in that situation and hope never to be, but I tried to think about how I’d react if I were in her shoes! I’m glad it read well and that you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

“You want to share my life?” OH. MY. GOD.
Could they be anymore adorable and domestic? I love this version of them so much.
“There was, of course, no way for them to know that “tomorrow” would be too late.” Umm... It’s cool. I’m not too scared to read on or anything. We’re chill here. All is well.
Damn, BT. Damn. That was vivid. My heart is in my throat. Pam was the perfect mix of frozen in fear and driven to action.
Author's Response: I love love love domestic Jim and Pam! But we couldn’t have a spy story without some danger, huh? I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for reviewing!

Holy cow. The range of emotions this chapter brought. Couldn't stop smiling at the beginning because they're adorable. Then was just terrified during the rest of it. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Yay! I love making people feel things! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Now THAT is how to get out of a writing funk. Well done, can't wait for the next chapter!

Quick pause in my reading of this chapter otherwise I'll forget to mention this in my review. I do have to wonder, which pistol she's mentioning there when she said she's seen everything? ;)
And then it all comes crashing down on them. Yeah, that's a very exciting chapter. Kinda figured we'd be in for something like that fairly soon.
The action scene itself was very descriptive. The feeling of time seeming to slow down, small details becoming razor sharp in focus, senses heightened, all a very real feeling of the flight or fight response. Good on Pam to mostly keep her head. Yes it takes her a bit to catch up, but when she does, she just acts. Good to see that. Same with her packing up all the supplies she can. First Jim took care of her. Now it seems it's her turn to take care of him.
I doubt they're out of the woods though. Really looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
Author's Response: Thank you so much as always, warrior! And yes, she’s seen everything everything, if you catch my drift. I’m so glad you enjoyed the action scene. I’ve had that in my head for so long (I think I started this story knowing that Pam would eventually shoot someone) and it was kind of tough getting it out. So I’m so glad you liked it!
And you are likely correct on them not being out of the woods just yet. Stay tuned!

Wow. I get that you were in a funk but you wouldn't be able to tell from the story. Nice twist, very believable adrenaline rush, and good emotional beats. Yay!
Author's Response: Thank you so much Comfect! I’m glad it flowed well and that you enjoyed it. I always appreciate you reading and reviewing!

Ugh. This is so delightfully wonderful. You write their intimate moments so perfectly. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! I like having them in a tiny cabin with little to do but be intimate in one way or another. :) I hope to have the next chapter up soon! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

I mean. The “stay still” bit. You’re an evil lil genius, ya know that?
I LOVE that we kind of get to see a little role reversal for Pam’s inner monologue! She’s in love with him but doesn’t want to say in case he doesn’t feel the same. But then he comes right out and says he turned down the job offer to stay with her. Ugh. Confident Jim is so...*swoon*
Author's Response: Confident Jim is one of my favorite Jims. Right up there with “stay still” Jim 😉

"No ma'am."
That's it. That's my favorite sentence in this entire chapter.
I'll be back with real reviews later but I felt that needed to be called out right now.
Author's Response: Right? Same. I can hear it in my head and *swoon*

This was well done. And don't worry about being unproductive; this is a weird time in the world. We're delighted with whatever you end up having time and concentration for.
Author's Response: Thank you, Comfect! Finally sitting down and finishing up a chapter did help to get me back in the groove. I hope to update again soon!

Damn, BT, damn. First of all, bringing a little bit of Fancy New Beesly into this universe was incredible. But, the real standout here is the backstory for Josh - way to take something from canon and repurpose it in such a unique and yet completely believable way. Wow.
And on top of it all, Pam and Jim were just so delightfully soft and vulnerable with one another all throughout this chapter. I am feeling all the feelings.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Jenna! I hope you keep enjoying it so much. It’s been fun to flesh out these canon details/characters a bit in this new setting. I have some big things planned, so stay tuned!

First off, because I noticed them a couple typos. "looking for all the world like the car that ate the canary." What kind of car would that be? A Buick? Chevy? Ford? They didn't have Yaris' back then so I think we can rule that one out.
"They’d spent the rest of the previous day in the bedrothe bandage on her wound after showering (again)" Yeah not quite sure about that one which is why I mention it. Through context I kinda get what you're saying. Figured I'd mention it is all.
Okay, now that that's out of the way. First off another very warm and sensual way to start things off. Love how they connect like that. In more ways than one. You've got them paired so well that it's lovely to read.
Also glad we're getting more into the meat of this story. The sexy fluff is fun don't get me wrong. But I'm dying to know what's going on with the rest of everything.
There you go again Pam being well matched for Jim. Her pointing out that Josh is now quite likely an enemy was a brilliant way to show that. It seems like until she said that, Jim couldn't quite wrap his head around that concept. Now that she's pointed it out though, it seems he's forewarned about this new potential threat. And of course forewarned is forearmed. I can almost see the gears turning in his head as he starts to process all this.
Great job as always.
Author's Response: Lol! Definitely a Buick. Thanks for pointing all those out for me! And for your well thought out review, as always. I am interested to hear what you think about upcoming chapters! I might have a twist or two in store...maybe!

I'll be honest I'm much more invested in the cabin plot than the espionage intrigue, but nonetheless, it's enjoyable all the same.
Great writing as always. Looking forward to seeing more!
Author's Response: Honestly, same. Sometimes I’m like “why did I make it a spy story when I just want to write them in a cabin?” Maybe a Little House on the Prairie AU next, lol. But I promise that the espionage stuff won’t take too much away from the fluffiness and cabin-esque stuff, and hopefully provide a good and gripping story in some chapters to come! We’ve had a lot of exposition after having action right up at the start, so we’re due for some action again soon! I hope you continue to enjoy, thank you for reviewing!

So this is what you were building towards. Well earned and justified in story and well done.
Author's Response: Thank you! I thought about delaying it until other things in the story play out but I actually think it fits in nicely with plot points I have planned (that’s a lot of P’s, haha) so I am glad to hear that it makes sense in the story!

Yeah, I think Pam's got some new memories to take over that first initial shower. Jim too. I mean holy smokes that was hot.
Glad to see them fit so perfectly together like this. I'm sure there will be more ups and downs as this story goes on, but for now at least it's lovely to see them enjoy each other for a bit.

Holy cow. Wow.
First of all, this story is amazing. Who knew that Jim and Pam being teachers in the 60's and Jim having a dark, secret, dangerous past would be this thrilling. I can't wait to see what comes out of this, it's so good.

“She didn’t want to compare Jim to Roy, because there was truly no comparison.”
This. This is it. This is the whole damn thing.
Oh boy, how did you turn the whole casino night/misinterpret conversation around, tip it into its head and have it land on its feet so smoothly?! Wow. Seriously. Wow.
Rating well and truly earned in all the best ways. Another wonderful update!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It’s been really fun to reuse dialogue from different episodes put them somewhere new. I’m glad you are enjoying it!

I was excited to see an update for this fic!
Good to get some backstory on how Jim ended up at the school and his "secret " life. The dialogue between them is just perfect- I forgot I was actually reading!
And this:
“I like that job.” Jim met her eyes and their gazes locked. It felt significant."
Oh, it was significant alright!
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Thanks for writing
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I enjoyed filling in the backstory for this version of Jim. I hope you keep enjoying!

"You serve, if you don’t mind,” she requested. “I managed a can opener with my left hand, but I don’t trust my ability to ladle.”" I don't know why, but this sentence made me laugh.
I love the entire backstory you've created for Jim. It's so rich in details, and real, and it makes sense that he would end up where he is now.
"I like that job." I was so busy swooning over that moment that I almost missed the part where you brought in the name of this story as dialogue and I love it all so much, because now I just want to sit around and solve puzzles with Jim.
And then you brought in the dialogue from Casino Night and this entire chapter is so damn good, I keep going back and rereading sections I've just read.
So looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Coley! The ladle line also made me laugh so I’m glad someone else thinks it’s funny! And I appreciate the comments on Jim’s backstory. I have worried that it would read as being too “out there” or not believable, so I’m happy to see that that’s not the case! I hope you continue to enjoy it!
