Aw the hand holding was a sweet touch!

Season 3 is so much more fun when Pam and Jim are on better than good terms... This was lovely. Jan in particular was delightful - I love that she’s onto Jim, but completely encouraging about it. “Upwards in this company.” So great.
Author's Response: Thank you!

Glad you're only doing the episodes that strike your fancy, write what comes to you!
Manager Jim running interference was a nice touch.
Author's Response: Thank you! I like the idea that non-angsty Jim is maybe better at his job.

Very cute. Another nice Jim moment. And actually not that far off base from what Jim told Jan. Watching movies IS bringing the team together. It's kind of fun to see that for all his craziness Micheal actually is a pretty good boss. Unorthodox to be sure, but once you look past the 12 year old, he does inspire loyalty in his staff.
Of course Jim and Pam are also glad for the time to hold hands so I can't blame them there either.
Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate it--and I'm glad you found it believable.

Oh, I love that Pam had some 'girl time' with Kelly and that Kelly was over Ryan - or, at least, doing her best to be over him (please, please, please, let Kelly be happy and valued!)
And Jim's reaction on Pam's date is precious. And I hope Pam won't be banned from Cugino's :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I am not sure how I am going to deal with Ryan/Kelly, but she does deserve some happiness...

Amazing! You wrote Kelly so well, Ryan being the rice of the relationship had me chuckling. What a way to end the date, it was so nice that Jim understood that Pam wouldn’t want to disappoint her.
And you can’t beat a classic TWSS joke ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! I like an understanding Jim...

Oh boy, I loved the prank on Dwight. I think my favorite moment was Stanley not even being called in on it, but still going along with it, ignorance or not.
“I am not the rice of a relationship.” This is perhaps my favorite comparison of all time and I kind of wish I had heard it when I was dating & used it in every breakup ever...
That double date was absolute perfection. I love the idea of Pam getting banned from another place. I also loved that she supported Kelly despite the sheer awkwardness of not actually being single...
Author's Response: Thank you!!!
Date: May 13, 2020 10:16 pm Title: Chapter 67: The Convention
I kinda like it that they're not really advertising the fact they're together. Though when that comes out, a whole year early in this world, I'm sure it'll be interesting to say the least.
Nice job on post-break up Kelly. I think it's very in character for her to just ramble on like that. Also I like how you've got Jim and Pam here. They realize Kelly's going through something and so rather than hurt her more, they go along with the plan.
Nice to see a non-jealous Jim too. I'm sure he's not thrilled about Pam going out on a date while he's not there, but the fact he doesn't blow a gasket about it I'm sure is a big relief to Pam considering who would be the jealous type.
Oh Pam, you keep getting yourself kicked out of places. Good thing there's still Olive Garden to go to. After all Jim does love Italian food.
Lots of fun here in AU S3.
Author's Response: Thank you! I really prefer non-jealous Jim, especially if they're already together, so I had to write it. And yes, Olive Garden does seem the next place, not that they'll necessarily go there but...

Nice way of f working the convention and the date in! Jim was very understanding.
Jellybeans!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I've read a lot of fics here where he isn't (in an AU where they're dating at this point) and I figured a counterpoint was worth writing.
Date: May 13, 2020 07:43 pm Title: Chapter 67: The Convention
I snorted myself when I read that their night out was at Applebees and they got kicked out. This was a funny update!
Author's Response: Thank you!

The Kelly characterisation here was great. The bulldozing into a double date was on point, and getting banned from another restaurant was just icing on top.
We're definitely still wil you here!
Author's Response: Thank you! I tried to stay true to both the universe I've made and the actual episode.
Date: May 13, 2020 07:26 pm Title: Chapter 67: The Convention
This is soooooo very Dwight:
“As you would know if you kept your ears open. A good salesman is always listening.” He creased the edge of a piece of paper for no reason Jim could see. “Always. Listening.”
The prank and the dialogue was just like Jim and Pam.
I like that the story is still continuing in the original timeline with the convention and the blind date, but with a new set of circumstances.
This story is still so fun! Glad you're continuing.
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you! I love writing Dwight in little snippets like that, so I'm glad it worked for you. I'm extra glad you're still with me for it! Thanks.

Oh, poor Dwight... I'm torn between joy (because it sooo nice to see Pam and Jim working together as a team again, and they are just awesome!) and dread (because if someone pulled that prank on me, I'd seriously doubt my sanity).
But, I hope Dwight someday responds appropriately, and the balance in the office will be restored :)
Author's Response: I mean, it is classic gaslighting, so like a lot of the pranks in the show not actually good in the real world. But I think he'll manage to pull through--Dwight has almost boundless self-confidence. Thanks!

What a way for them to come back, and what an excellent prank! It almost reminds me of ‘Asian Jim’. Very creative, well done :)
Author's Response: Thank you! That is definitely the sense I wanted to pass on, so I'm glad it came through!

Poor Dwight... but it was fun ;)
Jellybeans!

That was a funny prank! I was laughing the entire time. Pam and Jim are so cute here too!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Date: May 12, 2020 10:47 pm Title: Chapter 66: First Day Back
I get the feeling of Asian Jim here, but of course without Asian Jim. Always fun to see an effective prank pulled. And a simple one too. Also kind of reminds me of when Jim and Pam found Dwight's wallet and just gave it back to him. Simple, easy, effective. Nicely done.
But of course, Jim right where he's supposed to be now. Even moreso since he and Pam are finally together. Nicely done.
Author's Response: That is definitely the vibe, so glad it came through! Thank you, as always!
Date: May 12, 2020 09:31 pm Title: Chapter 66: First Day Back
That's great, reminds me of the Asian Jim cold open. I was especially amused by the various bribes offered by jim, particularly Ryan's new number for Kelly, that's just downright cold.
Author's Response: Yeah, that is definitely the vibe I was going for. Thank you!

I raise my cup for the power of procrastination and good luck!
And I'm a tad scared of that they are going to do to Dwight...
Author's Response: :) I think he'll be OK. Thank you!
Date: May 12, 2020 06:03 am Title: Chapter 65: Who's Dunkin My Donuts?
They're so cute together in this. So natural and adorable!
Author's Response: Thanks! I really enjoyed writing them.
Date: May 12, 2020 02:31 am Title: Chapter 65: Who's Dunkin My Donuts?
Aww, they’re still them and still adorably in love back in reality! This even more unified team that they are definitely spells bad news for Dwight...
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

“Because he wasn’t going to be an assistant regional manager. He was just going to be happy.” MY HEART
Author's Response: Aw, thanks!
Date: May 11, 2020 09:50 pm Title: Chapter 65: Who's Dunkin My Donuts?
Of course I want to know what they're planning! What with all the changes how could they not use this to pull one over on Dwight.
All that being said nice filler type chapter to get things firmly squared away now that they're back home. Lovely to see them so them.
Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you enjoy the prank...

Prank time! Poor Dwight, I hope they take it easy on him.
I wonder why Jim didn’t pick up Pam for their date, tho
jellybeans!!
Author's Response: Thanks!! In my mental map of where I'm pretending Isabel and Jim live, the shop is walking distance for them both.

“Well, I don’t need a better Jim. I’m happy with the one I have.” Comfect! You make my JAM heart ache
Very excited to see the AU season 3!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! That's very good to hear!
