Oh boy, lilo and stitch was a long time ago. Another enjoyable low fat chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you!

You did it again. Sitting at work my partner looked over at me like I'm a crazy person. That last line implying that Stitch is smarter than Dwight? Genius. Accurate too. After all Stitch can operate an interplanetary spaceship. Dwight has issues with the copier from time to time so there's no real contest.
I digress. Adorable chapter. Educational too. There was some stuff in there I really didn't know. Lots of good times all around.
Author's Response: I'm proud of my ability to make you laugh. Especially in ways that make your partner think you're crazy. Glad you enjoyed!

Awww, it was sweet as ever! And the amazing fix of Booze Cruise disaster :)
I especially like the idea that the next kisses are better than the previous ones.
Thrilled to see koalas (and even more thrilled to see Pam's reaction on koalas and Jim's reaction on Pam's reaction on koalas; or would it be Jim who would show more interest?..)
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope the koala chapter lives up to your expectations.

Honestly, I don’t even like Sydney that much - it’s probably my least favorite Australian city & here you are making me long for a visit (& harbor views...)
Redoing booze cruise was a lovely touch. So sweet to have Pam’s “I’m cold” end in a far better way.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad I can make a city you don't love feel fresh to you. And I'm intrigued which cities you like better; everyone I know who's been there has raved about Melbourne, but I'm open to other suggestions of better Australian cities as well.

Absolutely loving this fic, but didn’t they do the booze cruise in January ? Sorry if it was in fact feb. still loving it
Author's Response: You are right! That's what happens when I don't fact check. I've updated it. Thank you!

Some well needed closure on one chapter and a new adventure for a different chapter in their lives. Lots of fun envisioning them in this scene.
Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate your support.

Looking forward to the Bearslys ;)
Short, to the point, fluffy, and excellent as usual.
Author's Response: I mean, they're always short ;). Thank you!

Yay for koalas!
And, I'm not sure, but, perhaps, it's time for Jim and Pam to make some pleasant boat-related memories :)
Author's Response: Thank you!

So first they get Casino Night right, now they're getting the Booze Cruise right? I like it, I like it a lot. Man I wish I still had some jellybeans to give this story.
Lovely banter between them.
Author's Response: That's the goal! Thank you :)

I am absolutely in love with this story. It's the perfect fix-it read, with just the sweetest back and forth and a relationship that's real, that works. Really look forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate it!

The Meredith dig was on point, that got a chuckle from me.
I look forward to the next one, this was great as always.
Author's Response: Thank you! I try to bring in as many people as I can...

'But every day could be the first time she did something.'
I like it. I like it very, very much. Things she's done a million times before seem new because she does them now happy and together with Jim. It's so sweet.
Or, perhaps, I'm just being sappy now...
Author's Response: Thank you! I am very sappy as an author and a person, so that's how I roll too...

I'll write my usually kind of review in a moment, but I'm pausing here. Caveman Jim watching a rugby scrum is just to perfect of a line. Well done there man, just well done.
I was kind of wondering how the second rugby game would go. You didn't dissapoint. I get the feeling that jim is now starting to relax a bit. In a good way of course. Pam's here, they're together, and he doesn't have to constantly impress her or do anything to keep her there. She wants to be with him for who he is not what he can do to impress her on a first date. It's a subtle but to my mind important change. Rather than building the foundation for their relationship, now they're onto building the first floor and room. What they like doing together and having fun at the same time. Just a lovely way to watch the relationship progress.
Same goes for Pam. Previous memories I'm sure will contine to be a part of her thinking for a while yet. This is still early in the Jim and Pam part of things. However it's a joy to see her explore this new and so much better dynamic with Jim. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Screen time at work has been doing my head in, so screen time for leisure has taken a hit...
I have to say, I wasn’t expecting learn anything about duck penises in catching up with this story, but here we are.
All their activities were great. I liked the touch of Jim falling asleep during performances, that was a fun piece of backstory.
I’m still very much with this story - even though I’m a little slow on the reviewing these days.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you're still with us, and I totally get the screentime thing--doubly so when you have your own fic to consider.
Date: May 02, 2020 09:30 pm Title: Chapter 56: Rugby League
Still riding high, just how I like it. Great as usual, see you next time!
Author's Response: Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this one.

I've finally caught up (again) with this story- five or so chapters I think!
Now that things have fallen into place, it fun to tour Sydney with these two and have them enjoying their own interests and each others. I especially liked that Jim is into classical in the last chapter and how Pam described her experience. Reminds me of how Kandinsky approached art.
As always, this is great and such a nice escape when trapped at home!
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Glad you're caught up! I'm glad you're enjoying the little details as well as the big sweep of the story, and thanks!

Awww, how being in love changes people! And it's lovely that they can talk even about things they consider embarrassing.
Very sweet chapter!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks!

Jim sleeping through a concert sounds quite fun. Nice way to introduce a minor character flaw for him. Well not so much introduce since we did kind of get how he acted during the finer things club. Nice refference there by the way. However, it's also a good way to expand on that and show him growing.
Loved that Pam is there engaged with the music. More people need to be exposed to the true masters of music and I'm glad Pam is getting Jim engaged. Also glad that Jim is open and honest with her. Shows they're starting their relationship out right.
Bravo!
Author's Response: Thank you! I think Jim can't be perfect, even if I like it when JAM as a whole is.

So, this chapter was quite enlightening. After reading it, I spent some browsing (more than I expected), and have to say that the cases of the Argonauts and hyenas, perhaps, amazed me the most.
Also, gastro tourism — it the best kind of tourism I know. *sigh*
Hope they make it to the opera in time :)
Author's Response: Glad you browsed around! I am also a gastrotourist, and I wish I could be one right now...so this is some wish-fulfillment. Thank you for the review!
