OHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I am smiling AND crying over here…. Excellent finale. Much much love to this little AU.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks for the kind reviews, and for going back and reading my stories. I'm so glad you liked it. This one was especially fun to write.

Fist pump in the air and a whoop for my wonderful Dwight!!!! Love how many other authors see him for the kind rule follower he is!
(And EXCELLENT twist with around being with Katie! I found myself eluding to that in one of mine too!)

Finished this a few days ago and hadn't had a chance to leave a review until now (in the small chance you are still seeing these).
I really appreciated how you wrapped this one up - with Pam strong in her need to be independent and be with Jim, them coming back to visit with the old couple with the parallel story, and the repeated line of Katy of course with a different answer.
Again, we think very alike as I have some parallels of my own in stories I had written long before I ever read this... including a mention of pivoting (guess we both watch Friends).
Anyway wanted to share with you my enjoyment of this story and if you are out there reading this...maybe consider dropping by with some new stuff. Meantime I'll be sure to check out some of your other stories.
Author's Response: Hi! Yes, I am reading your reviews! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review. I'm so glad people are still finding these and hopefully enjoying them. I don't see myself writing any more for "The Office," but if you go over to fanfiction.net and look me up under this same screen name, you'll find lots of other fandoms I've written for. I'd love for you to check them out. In the meantime, again, very cool that you are reading.

This chapter was full of surprises I was not expecting but they worked so well. The bit with Dwight was just so sweet and while the thing with Katy and Roy was not - it made sense and was just the thing to ease Pam’s difficult next move. Well played.
Looking forward to seeing the bow tie this one neatly up.

So I know Jim's nickname for her is Moneypenny but I feel a better one for her here is Pennywise - you've written her to be quite so.
I enjoyed this exchange:
“It was the bittersweet kind,” he said, his voice smooth and deep, like dark chocolate.
“Not my favorite,” she said, trying lamely for a hint of levity. She sensed his smile.
“Oh, I know. Good old Hershey’s for you, Beesly.”
“I don’t like the bitter with my sweet.”
“Sometimes,” he said thoughtfully, “it’s worth it, just to have a taste. Better than nothing at all.”
And Dwight - yup you wrote him well.
Looking forward to seeing how you bring this baby in.

I forgot to mention in my review of the last chapter how much I appreciated that last line so I'll mention that here.
I was enjoying when it was just the buildup and I wasn't quite excepting what happened next but I was cheering when it did. Of course, there will be guilt along with it, but again, the last line was amazing.
I really hope you still check in from time to time to get these reviews. Maybe you might even be inspired to share some new stuff. Meanwhile, I'm off to enjoy the rest of this story.

Okay, I promise I have never read this before but there are so many little tidbits in here that share some DNA with stuff in many of my stories - every time I caught one it made me smile. I know that's why I'm enjoying this so much as we seem to think a lot alike.
So yup, your Roy is exactly how I see him reacting - jerk!
And I love your Penny, especially her mischievous packing job.
Really enjoying this. Wonder if you are still around to see my reviews? Hope so.

I have a thing about fics that have them
drinking hot cocoa made with milk (love that detail). And about fics at DM without everyone else around. Bless Pam’s kind heart for making Jim stop. Also loving that she knows to call Jim when her car won’t start (He’d no doubt be there in a flash). Great set up to force them alone together in the place where they fell in love to get her to truly see how she really loves (at least I hope where this is going). Looking forward to how it all goes down.

Awesome! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! That was one of the best Jam fan fics I've read! It was beautiful, believable and HOT! Thank you!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much!

This was a deliciously fluffy ending. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I love what you've done with Dwight here - this really suits him, in all his obnoxious, sexist, maybe-less-oblivious-then-he-lets-on, ultimately good-hearted glory. And wow, Roy. Just wow. Pam giving them Katy's cheer on her way out the door was AMAZING.

So. A Pam who actually gets in touch with her emotions, and a Jim who gives her room to do it? Check. Pam seeking the outside counsel she desperately needs? Check. Pam and Jim kidding themselves into thinking they can share a sleeping bag without it devolving into steamy sex? Check. So this was all pretty wonderful even before you gifted us with the image of Dwight patrolling a snow covered Scranton on his tractor. Thank you for all of it.

I can definitely see them going this route under pressure, especially with the rest of the world feeling so far away and them in their own little bubble. Also: hawt.

Pam teaching Jim yoga is everything I never knew I needed.

Fun use of Penny and Mrs. H as shippers on board - and jeez is this Roy ever a schmuck.
I think this works well as a "locked in a room together" fic - it's less about them being forced into dealing with their sexual tension by physical proximity and more about just letting them be Jim and Pam without distraction for a while and letting that evolve.

Love the setup here, and this is a great (and very in character!) use of the ensemble.

I've finally had the opportunity to catch up on this one!
Dwight and his tractor, interrupting everything and saving the day! Sweet that he's looking out for Pam. Their friendship is one of my favorites.
I love how you bookended your story with Stella and Jerry. Incredibly romantic!
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I love Pam and Dwight too😊 I really appreciate the kind review.

You wrapped this up so perfectly! I loved it. Job very well done. I especially loved their conversation about taking it slow and Pam having her independence. You’re very talented and I can’t wait to read more from you!
Author's Response: Thank you! You are too kind. Hopefully I will have another new fic soon.

What a sweet note to end on! I love that they visited Jerry & Stella.
The Friends reference made me giggle. This all wrapped up so wonderfully.
Author's Response: Thank you! Cool you caught the Friends reference, lol. Glad someone did. I appreciate all your kind words for this fic.

Very easy to see why Jim was going a little stir crazy there at the beginning of the chapter. Loved the way they take care of each other after Pam makes her way to his place. You wrote them in a way that continue all the feelings they started sharing while they were cooped up in the office.
Lovely to have to have them go back and see Stella and Jerry. I loved that they got advice from them as to how to make their relationship stand the test of time.
Great fic. A few ups and downs, but that's what makes a story fun.

Awwww What a sweet ending!
The only moment that made me cringe is when Pam brushed out her hair. As a fellow curly, I can only imagine the mess that created 🤣
All the jellybeans!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I also have curly hair, and I know how frizzy her hair must have gotten (I described it as wild, lol). But she just wanted it dry because she was cold. I appreciate your great reviews for this fic.

I love a good happily ever after. This story was well written and filled with great moments. The Jerry and Stella, Jim and Pam echo was a nice touch, if a little predictable. I especially liked the callback to Katy's line from booze cruise at the end, that tied it all up very nicely.
Author's Response: Thank you! And I almost always write happy endings. So glad you enjoyed this fic.

Great job with this story!! I loved reading it and watching it all unfold. I love that Jerry and Stella had the same story as Jim and Pam, its like connecting all the dots, super cute!
