I loved Dwight in his tractor. And you write their scenes if intimacy so well! I’m glad Pam came clean with Roy, even though he’d been unfaithful more often and for longer. I don’t want her to go into anything with Jim with a guilty conscience. Can’t wait to see how things end!
Author's Response: Yes, Dwight and the tractor were fun to write. Glad you enjoyed that. And thanks for all your kind words--it's really encouraging and much appreciated. I just posted the conclusion. Would love to hear what you think.

I really enjoyed this! I can't wait to see how it is wrapped up.
Author's Response: Thank you! The conclusion is up now :)

Roy is the worst, and I’m so very glad that he is the worst because hopefully it eases some of the guilt for Pam! She’s free to leave him and take control of what she wants in life. Good riddance...
Author's Response: One of these days, I should try to make Roy sound more sympathetic, but the art school thing and the attacking Jim thing just made that impossible for me. Anyway, thanks for the review. I just posted the conclusion...

"Pam stepped back into the hall, preparing herself for her escape if she had to. “Just last night,” she said. “Well, and then early this morning,” she couldn’t resist adding."
THIS. This line was amazing and just totally a powerful Pam move. I loved it, I laughed, I did a little happy dance. Amazing!
Author's Response: Thank you! And since I moved up Pam's newfound courage by a year or so, I had to insert some of that somewhere. I appreciate your appreciation :) I just posted the conclusion; hope to see you back here soon.

Oh man, Roy being worse than I expected. But yeah, that does help Pam out. Hope she gets where she's going OK. I enjoyed her and Dwight interacting.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. And yes, I always have enjoyed Dwight and Pam's relationship, so it was fun writing some of that. Ch. 7 is up now.

What an awesome confrontation!! You had kind of hinted that there was something going on with Roy. And it was conveniently Katy! I hope Pam doesn’t freeze to death. And I’m so glad there’s more to come!
Author's Response: Thank you! And spoiler alert: Pam will be just fine :) I just posted the conclusion.

Yeah, that's about what I figured was happening with Roy. Good for Pam that she did tell him what happened, and it seems very typical that Roy would react with such blatant hypocrisy. So good to see that Roy and Pam are done. Hopefully she doesn't get hypothermia on the walk to Jim's place.
Dwight was great here too.
Author's Response: Fear not; Pam survives her walk just fine. Glad you liked Dwight in this. I adore him so much. Thanks for the review. I just posted the conclusion.

Didn't see that one coming! Although to be fair the swap is one of my favorites in the fandom, it just always makes sense given what we get to see on the booze cruise.
I look forward to the conclusion. Hopefully Pam doesn't get frostbite or hypothermia.
Author's Response: Glad I could take you by surprise :) And yes, wouldn't it have been cool if Roy had ended up with Katy on the show? I would have loved to have seen that wedding! Thanks for the review. The conclusion is up now.

Omg! When Dwight came in I almost yelped out loud! Great chapter. I hope there's a little more.
Author's Response: Thank you! And almost yelping is the best praise I could hope for :) Next chapter is up now.

Dwight and the tractor was amazing!
Penny is a good sounding board for Pam to sort out her feelings here.
The sleeping bag moment was very sweet, despite the whole figuring things out with themselves and Roy hanging over them.
Author's Response: Thank you! And more of Dwight and the tractor next chapter, which, coincidentally, is up now :)
Date: April 14, 2020 04:46 pm Title: Chapter 5
Lots of interesting thoughts going on here. You wrote their conflicting emotions really well. Clearly this all of this is big deal for both of them. It's good that they did take some time to talk about things. I also liked that Pam reached out to Penny. Granted we kinda knew how Penny would react, but it's also good for Pam to have someone else other than Jim to confide in.
Looks like Pam's also come to a decision. I get that she's still having a hard time verbalizing everything, but it looks like there's progress for her.
Dwight in a HAZMAT suit was a hoot to envision. Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Thank you! And Dwight is always fun to write. Chapter 6 is up now.

Oh, such a lovely chapter! Especially these parts with getting warm (excellent surviving skills indeed!) and Dwight. Can't help it, I like him so much :)
And why do I have that feeling that Pam is going to have a big surprise at home?..
Author's Response: Thank you! And I'm glad you like my Dwight here. He's fun to write. Chapter 6 is up now.

I love the way you're writing this. Pam's struggle throughout this shows that while she cares for both of them, she knows where her heart is. I can't wait to see what you write next.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I don't usually write fics where they cheat, so I had to make sure I put in Pam's internal struggle. The next chapter is up now.

I mean, wow. That was exceptionally written. I agree with Jenna in that infidelity is a struggle for me, even in fiction. But the way Roy is acting makes me wonder what exactly his conversation with Pam earlier had entailed. That last line though, oof. I can’t wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I don't like infidelity either, but that certainly happened a lot on the show too. As for Roy, you'll just have to wait and see what happens. Chapter 5 is up now.
Date: April 11, 2020 05:11 pm Title: Chapter 4
3 days of quarantine sure, but let’s not forget the several years of tension... In that sense, it’s definitely not too soon. I do feel a little uncomfortable about Pam’s situation. I’m not a fan of cheating, under any circumstances - even when it’s Pam and Jim. I kind of hope that’s Pam’s conversation with Roy earlier had a bit more going on than we readers were privy to...
Nonetheless, and infidelity aside, this was a very sweet moment between Pam and Jim. Great to see some of those iconic lines repurposed and put to good use.
Author's Response: I agree with you; Pam's cheating is not okay. But even on the show, she was cheating when she kissed Jim back, and she was cheating for years emotionally with Jim. I'm glad you enjoyed things about the chapter in spite of that. But wait, there's more...chapter 5 is up now :)

Oh boy...
Your writing is amazing and sensual, but the way they communicated... okay, I'm locked inside my apartment for almost a month, so I can relate. But still... it's sad.
But hey, at least Jim gained some memories to keep. And I hope that they could talk to each other and sort things out. Please?
Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Yes, I did throw in some angst, which I actually always hate doing yet find myself in the middle of all the time. I think it's just the entire Jim/Pam relationship is just so sad in the early days that it lends to angsty storylines. Thanks so much for the kind words about my writing. Chapter 5 is up now!

Well that's certainly one way to have them start getting their feelings out.
Roy's acting shifty. Just there and gone again. I have thoughts on that matter, but it's to soon to make any conclusions.
Is it to soon for sex? Maybe, but considering everything you've been building in this story it also fits. Now I'm very curious to see Pam's reaction. Will she follow after Jim, retreat into herself again, call Roy, call Penny? (please let her call Penny so we can have some more delightful Penny pushed Pam towards Jim banter)
Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Thank you! I was worried things were going too fast for them. I gotta admit though, being trapped with Jim would offer a pretty big temptation for any girl. I just posted ch. 5. Thanks again for the great review.

This was great. You built up the intimacy between them of being completely alone and spending time together as friends before the kiss. This is a perfect situation because Pam couldn't really run away after the kiss. Also good foreshadowing that something is up with Roy.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this chapter. Foreshadowing, you say? Hmmm...stay tuned.

Well shoot. That will make the rest of the time VERY awkward especially if I'm not right that Roy cheated on her. But if I am, good timing dude. Nice chapter. I do expect better of Jim later though, 'cause dude, pressing more ain't super nice.
Author's Response: You'll just have to wait and see with regard to Roy. As for Jim, I want to emphasize the fact that Jim was being persuasive with Pam; he wasn't pressuring her. I even made sure to give his thoughts that he would stop the second she stopped him. I think loving couples do this all the time--tempt each other with their sexual prowess. If you misunderstood, it wasn't my intention. Thanks for the review.

Oh. This is so, so good! The yoga, the laughing together until they end up holding hands, the end...I can’t wait for another update!

Ah! I'm here with Jenna - I am also hoping for the update soon!
I have some mixed feelings, though - I dislike cheating, but at the same time, I wanted Pam and Jim to be together so badly!.. Roy, I beg you, make something disgusting that allows Pam to leave you and has her own 'happily ever after.'
Author's Response: Yeah, the thing about fanfiction and any kind of shows or movies, etc, we can suspend our own morals for the fantasy. I admit to writing lots of things I personally wouldn't do, lol. So, thanks for staying with me despite the dubious choices of the characters. Chapter 4 is up now!

Aww, they named a yoga pose after me. Kidding of course. Having taken a few yoga classes over the years I'm familiar with that position. Still it was a nice little detail.
So yeah, this chapter just had sexual tension from start to finish. Jim waking up to Pam's morning yoga routine, an entire day of nothing but banter, and then of course the puzzle table.
Great use there. Clearly they do fit together well. The picture on the front of the box to use as a guide is face down for them right now though. Which of course means that while they can get some pieces fitting together right, they won't be able to complete the whole puzzle until they can really see what they're working towards without any distraction.
I mean that was just a great piece of writing right there. Still can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank you! And though I didn't intend the puzzle metaphor, I wish I'd used that, lol. Maybe I still will later. Can't wait to hear what you think of ch. 4.
