An adorably fluffy way to wrap this up!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!

This is a quite clever prank, to begin with - and one I feel like no one would think to call them out on given the evidence.
I *loved* the two cards - perfectly friendly and yet well suited to send Jim all a kilter. And their fake date was just the sort of thing they would be able to talk themselves into pretending was platonic.
I appreciate a gutsier Pam who is willing to take in everything that happened and actually react to it. Definitely a heart-leaping moment when Jim found her at the poker game!
Author's Response:
For a moment I consider not making her go back, and then they'll meet at the office the next day, etc, etc... but I love it when Pam takes some initiative, so there she is.
I din't want to write Pam's PoV, but I had a whole thing about she getting into Jim's house and him not being there and hoe awkward that could get...
Anyway, thanks a lot!

This is already off to a much bigger start than their canon S2 Valentine's Day.
Author's Response:
Thanks!!
Canon S2 Valentine's is cringy, painful even. And Jim does nothing!
Anyway, yeah. I like it when these two are up to somehting.

Very nice way to end this. Them sitting on the bed at 2am playing thumb war is very Jim and Pam. Lots of nice touches throughout. Jim's reassurance that Pam can go through with the breakup. Her nervousness and leaning into him. I love how they've connected throughout all of this and that it ends with them together. Nice job.

Aw, I like this ending. Well, I like the whole thing. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Author's Response: Thank you for all your support!

Oh, I loved this. I mean, the ending (pre-epilogue) was unexpected but well- choreographed, and the emotional beats were great, but before all that I wanted to highlight a paragraph:
“You got me. And I must say you’re a great victim. Very cooperative.”
This just hits the jam dynamic perfectly for me, between the joke and the context and the tone. Well done.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I wasn't really sure about the ending, but I always wondered what would have happened if Jim didn't disappeared after Casino Night and gave Pam a little time to think things through :)

This started out a lot of fun and only got better as it went on. It was a lot of fun to envision Jim and Pam at the arcade and then using their spoils to get out of the office. Everything else after that was wonderful to see too. Jim coming home to see Pam there waiting for him and their conversation afterwards was just icing on the cake. Nicely done.
Author's Response: Thanks very much! It was fun to think of ways of ending this with the together, making it both Jim's and Pam's efforts.

So far so good. Looking forward to seeing what Jim has planned. You've got them nicely in character here and it comes off very cute.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Those two are great to write, I'm glad you think I got them in character :)

This Valentine’s Day is really delivering on the fics! I can’t wait to see where this is headed!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the rest :)

So I saw this, and I started reading, and halfway through I clicked back to make sure it was going to continue (and I was so glad to see "Complete: No"). I really like your setup, and I'm intrigued by where you're going to have Jim go with this. Also, independently, I'm flattered that what I wrote in some way inspired you. But more importantly, I'm very excited for where this might go.
Author's Response:
Thanks a lot!
No, this is far from done. I wanted to post it all last night, but I got sleepy and didn't get to finish it. I couldn't help myself from posting that first part, though. An introduction of sorts.
