Oh.My. God. What a stunning story! I listened to Everything Has Changed a couple times after reading and read it again and this is just a stunning match to that gorgeous, gorgeous song. I’ve read it before but read it again in anticipation of traveling to London in a few weeks and I just love it soooooo much. This Jim and this Pam and the way she just hands him her coffee in the elevator and that they just happen to work in the same place and both come from Pennsylvania?!? The dialogue was funny and heartwarming and you just feel like you’re in a little pub staring at this incredibly star crossed couple falling in love and starting their story. I love how Jim just blew off that girl from the back of the cab too. I mean, like she was just nothing… and she is compared to Pam. Your use of canon dialogue is so beautiful too in the way Pam tells Jim about Roy and finally decides it’s truly over with Roy. And I love this idea that they’re just so destined to be with each other that they aren’t waiting agonizingly to make decisions… like they know this is it, and they’re just tying up loose ends— as Pam promptly calls Roy, says it’s over, and heads home with Jim. Just stunning! There are 1000 incredible lines but one of my favorites is the one where they’re at the parrot tree and Jim has a vision of Sunday mornings with the paper and groceries and children and phone bills. Come on! Loved this so much!

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you liked it.
Enjoy London! It’s one of my favorite cities. If you have never been, you will love it. Paris is my fave (which is where part two of this story goes) but London holds a special place for me as well.
Thanks again for commenting and letting me know you enjoyed it!

I have read several stories with angry Jim and Pam having a confrontation after Casino Night, but angry sex? Wow! That was SO HOT!!! And I love that Jim somehow has the strength to bump her fist afterwards like a version of their high-fives. LOL Awesome!

I can’t believe I missed this! Thank you for mentioning it in evermore.
This is a great version of Jim and Pam and I feel as though I could get lost in this world forever. You make it feel so real! I love the evermore version of this too. I hope you plan on continuing this story!

I really liked this; interesting - and sexy - to see Jim actually make that trip (and not jump to the wrong conclusion. You had me worried... :o) )
Thanks!

Honestly, how dare you? Here are the moments of this chapter that kill me each and every time I read it.
"And I am so glad I came home to you."
The elevator scene. Just... the elevator scene.
""When I never think about this, you usually take it off.""
Pam noticing Jim's calendar while being bent over the desk.
"It had been weeks since they had done this, visited a place with less than fond memories and made it their own. Their rethreading making him realize that fate wove through every corner of their lives, some more pleasant than others but ends always found each other, the fibers of their past twisting together with the promise of what was always just the two of them." One day, let's talk about other places they've reclaimed. For science.
"Do you think anyone can see us?" "I hope so." Listen, I don't mind the sass.
Bored. This is so beautifully written and you captured one of my favorite songs from the album perfectly and I'm just really happy you wrote it.
Author's Response: I really love that enjoyed this chapter because it was so fun to write. Honestly, I would love to write about many, many reclaimed places. ;) Thank you, as always, friend!

I cannot believe I never left a review of this chapter because I LOVE it so much and re-read it often. Truly, so perfect and enjoyable. You do such a great job of telling this little meet cute in London and it feeling totally real. I really love how you weave in these little details and nuances and details of him falling so in love with her that I miss sometimes on a first read but find nuggets of on a second or third. It is all tasteful and real and so vividly done. Honestly I’d read a full fic on it. Truly truly wonderful chapter. I could not love it more.
Author's Response:
Wow, thank you SO much! It delights me to hear that the little things are noticed because I often think I spend too much mental energy on details that likely no one will pick up on.
You might enjoying knowing that there will be a continuation of this story in the upcoming evermore collab so definitely stay tuned. ;)
Thanks again, bayjb!

Well the short version of my review is I love everything about this. Long version: great backstories for the items. Pam's inner dilemma about the shoes was so funny (and later when Jim said keep them on, claiming them as for him instead of that other guy was damn hot). Your Pam and Jim voices, especially Pam are always so fun. Of course the money part of this is muy caliente, but I also laughed at the visual of Jim being like "so we using this tie? Maybe? No?". And of course that sweet ending, with the fun foreshadowing of their eventual wedding. Just great work, Coley.

You should have seen me when I was like “Marcie, whose Marcie?” And then I realized, oh that sneaky Isabel!
The friendship between Isabel and Pam is great stuff (and what Pam deserved way more of on the show). “She doesn’t have time to murder Isabel, because Jim is all of three feet away from her.” I love this line XD
Small thing but you always do such a good job of portraying Roy as not a horrible person but just the kind guy making no effort that we have a tendency to tolerate too long when we’re young.
A big yes to everything in the bedroom scene, that’s exactly how this conversation would have gone down, and of course the rest of it. I like your line at the start that Pam is a wait and see kind of girl but then she finally breaks out of it and makes things happen.
The childhood flashback is so good (I think we all had that moment happen to us) and the way you tie it in with the present, beautiful.

This is my favorite track so I went into this with unreasonably high expectations but of course you exceeded them. Your reign as the queen of writing Karen continues, you always manage to make her so bold and cool and flawed and real. Jim and Karen being friends with benefits makes so much sense I’m now surprised I don’t see it more in fic (and the mention of Karen and Wallace made me simultaneously say “Oh honey no” and “Get it girl” XD). You took me back (waaay back) to the chaos of college house parties with such amazing vivid writing, not to mention everyone’s “role” at the party being so flawlessly cast. The 7 or rather 14 minutes in heaven, guh, so hot and intimate and yet heartbreaking. Like other reviews have said, when it’s revealed this is hardly Pam and Jim’s first time having sex its such a good little twist, suddenly all my assumtions of their backstory was out the window and I needed to go back to reread and reconsider the dynamic. I’m afraid you’d be ashamed of me for how late in the story I picked up on the Normal People vibes XD. And like NP you left it with that ambiguous ending where you want to believe they’re going to work it out but the nagging feeling they just never will. It hurts, I love it T_T

I’ll try to be coherent in this review. I just adore everything about this concept, that Pam’s “homemade sexy sweater” (as Angela Kinsey would call it) ended up tossed in the corner and almost forgotten.
“Maybe Peter and Wendy, except he’s the one that grew up and left” Such a perfect way to include that lyric.
I love a good “addressing our past angst” conversation between Jim and Pam. Then Jim asking Pam to wear the cardigan for him was so sweet, and then she undresses before putting it on and (Andy voice) TUNA!!! DAYUM!! *incoherent noises for 5 minutes* And then that last line, amazing. Gray cardigan redemption!
