This was sooo good! I loved reading about Jim and Pam's first holidays together, and not only that but having the rest of the Dunder Mifflin gang around as well- the camping trip chapter was actually one of my favorites for that exact reason. I can honestly say this collection is something I didn't know I needed.
Thank you everyone for joining to write this and sharing it with us!

*As badly as he wants to be inside of her right now, he wants her to have this. Wants her to feel this desired, this loved. He can wait, he could always wait for her.*
I loved this line. Way to end this fic with a BANG! (heh)
Great job, ladies! :)

“I don’t know who that was, but I need to see a lot lot more of her.”
Yes to this.
This chapter was indeed chaotic but in the best possible way. Drunk Pam is amazingly hilarious and extra boyfriend points for Jim for taking care of her pukey self. That's true love.

This was so funny, I loved "DJ Vu," lol... perfect. And look at you, with your teeny weeny bit of angst in the middle. *insert Ron Swanson gif*
*“A repeat of Valentine’s Day would be just fine,” she said instead, blushing and looking down at the floor of the car.
Jim let out a chuckle. “We can have a repeat tonight if you want.”*
Aw, good for them.

*Jim frantically put his hands together in a “v” shape yelling, “PIZZA SLICE! PIZZA SLICE!”*
LOL
You really captured the atmosphere so nicely in this chapter.
*“Well, what if I don’t want your germs?” she smirked.
“I think we passed that exit a looooong time ago, Beesly.”*
Okay, this was great. I really loved their banter in this one. And the whole bit at reception was great!

Damn. DAMN. Girl, you can write smut.
I can say without a shred of uncertainty that Roy definitely did not give her the greatest Valentines Day sex of her life.
*Pam lifts her head from against his chest and looks up into his eyes. She can tell they’re thinking the same thing. They usually are.*
GREAT button. This was fantastic.

This entire chapter was so cozy and lovely. Really like what you did creating such atmosphere, and your Jim and Pam banter is on point.
*Perching her head on her hand, she got lost in her own daydreams of him. They’d spent perfectly endless days discussing their past with one of the hot buttons being what they nicknamed, “Before”. He told her that he wasn’t completely incompetent driving a stick shift and she let on that she’d watched him in ways friends wouldn’t watch each other. They’d spent years on the wrong path, both feeling like they were in a never-ending haunted house. The conversations would last well into the night and that’s when Jim would typically confide in her how different this late-night conversation was for him than his ones with Karen. These he looked forward to, while he loathed Karen’s attempting to get out of them with any excuse that would fly.*
Loved all of this.

What an appropriately inappropriate office-not-at-the-office party! Poor Michael, love the twist that Pam and Jim knew about Hunter before the Dinner Party. I CACKLED at Meredith's fluffer suggestion and the fact that Kelly is clearly so self-absorbed she can't even tell it was Jim and Pam in the bathroom. Top it all off with being very impressed at Jim's four times (while drunk!) because they deserve nothing less.

We. Worked. Out.
This was so great. Tooth-rottingly sweet. Jim is seriously earning that Best Boyfriend card.
I love that he managed to get screen grabs from the doc crew, and Pam’s redo? Amazing.

This was great, the humor of the first part, then the turn halfway through with a more serious moment. Ending with the fluff. Awesome job.
Michael hosting Thanksgiving because he doesn’t have any family to celebrate wasn’t supposed to make me sad but it did. 😭
Question: when do you guys headcanon they first said their I love yous to each other? I would love to know!

The closing line to this story was perfect. You did a great job closing up this story. The rooftop picnic was so sweet and so was getting caught in the rain. Bubbly on my jam playlist and such a song Pam would love.
Thanks for sharing your spring fever story.

So that was fun and totally brought me back to celebrating ST. Paddy's day at college and in my post college days in city.
Oh and I'm so with Pam - I LOVE Taco Bell, my go to - guilty pleasure junk food.

I saw what you did there. Brought a little math into your story. We are a pi day celebrating family so I appreciated that. Great use and characterizations for the ensemble too.
Loving this ultimate collaboration.

This whole chapter was lovely but most of all it was the "what do you want" that stood out. What a powerful way to show the difference of Roy and Jim but also of Pam when with a partner who supports her and hears her (and wants to hear her not just supplicate her from time to time).
Well done.

Perfect way to wrap this all up. I had a feeling that Jim had something up his sleeve with a mulit-hour "lunch meeting." I mean it's possible, he does always hit his sales numbers after all, but Boyfriend Jim stay out all afternoon to do work when he could set up a picnic? Yeah, good choice on that one.
The rooftop picninc was lovely to imagine. A change to redo things with real dancing as well. Also this feels like the first real thoughts of marriage that Pam has. The wedding dip and all. Then they dance in warm spring rain? Beautiful.
The race back to his place to throw themselves at each other just as great for even more reasons. There goes Jim again putting images of white dresses in Pam's mind. I mean he's had the ring now for a while. Kinda makes sense he'd be starting to put those ideas in her head. Loved it.
The sex? Hot and steamy considering they're still probably soaked from the roof. I'm sure they had to more peel their clothes off in this regard and that's not a bad thing in any way.
The cuddle-ball moment there to wrap it all up? Ahhhhhhh. Loved it. Especially with Pam thinking about how much more her relationship with Jim means to her than anything in the past. How much she's looking forward to their future together.
This whole story has been a delight through everything. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.

I loved these, all of them. The stories just made me so happy. I hope we can all find out ultimate some day.

I loved this! Loved the HSM reference, the wearing white reference, the other things (dot dot dot). It was so sweet and adorable.
Jim in the ultimate... excuse me while I cry at the end of this. It's been an absolute blast working on this with you all. I loved every minute of it (even when it was 2am and I was massssively struggling to stay awake while finishing St. Paddy's day.
I think I'm out of jellybeans, but just know I'd give us all of them if I could.

This was a really sweet chapter but what else would I expect from you - ahem -maybe angst now that you've turned over to the dark side with Picture. But I enjoyed the fluff and stuff of this first Valentine's day.
By the way 20+ years later and my husband still doesn't load the dishwasher correctly and now my kids don't either. It must be that pesky Y chromosome.
Nice job with this one.

What an excellent end to a wonderful collab. But I'll get to that later. This chapter was amazing. As a fellow Disney Channel stan, I loved the title reference and then the nod to HSM3. One of my favorites. And then how they couldn't get their hands off of each other even just while in the car? Hot. The bedroom scene was just perfection. You did a great job with this chapter, I loved it so much.
Thank you for being awesome, and since I know everyone gets the notifications for this fic, thank you WW, TPB, and Beth as well. You guys mean the world to me, even if we now have to never talk again. It was a good run, see ya on the flippity flip.
Date: January 06, 2021 10:57 pm Title: Let the Rain Fall Down, and Wake My Dreams
You came up with a lot of great images that were really well described here - I felt like I could see a lot of this playing out.
I love a nice reclaiming-the-moments-of-their-past fic, so I was psyched to see them recreating their roof non-date. That's one that really should be a good memory for them, and it's nice to see them embrace it.
And having them dance, and then keep dancing in the rain? You slay me. Congrats on qualifying for the Wet Jim/Pam tag.
I like the working in of wedding references building up to her realization she wants to marry him, I thought that worked well - and it's well timed knowing that Chair Model is coming right down the pike.
Good job with this one!
Date: January 06, 2021 10:49 pm Title: Let the Rain Fall Down, and Wake My Dreams
SO cute, Em! I am ALWAYS down for righting season 2 misteps. So actually dancing, getting to kiss each other on the roof, and then *everything* that happens afterward? Yes. Please.
And the last line! I'm so happy you wrote this but so sad it's over. I have loved every second of this collab.
Date: January 06, 2021 10:46 pm Title: Let the Rain Fall Down, and Wake My Dreams
Em!! Wow, I LOVED that this was our ending! So sweet, so fluffy, so hot. This is everything I wanted to see in Ultimate, and you hit it ALL in this chapter so well. The HSM parallels? The wedding dip kiss? The date recreation? Love, love, love.
I also need to thank you for doing this collab with me. Who would have thought we would have come up with this idea a few weeks ago and have it turn into this?! I’m so happy we were able to make this happen. All my love!

Pam is definitely a St. Patrick’s Day person, and it seems very on point that celebrating a holiday that people often take as an excuse for heavy drinking would not be much fun for Roy’s fiancée. And now we get to see Drunk!Pam, who is among the most important of all Pams. And I 100% believe is a very impressive rapper.
She managed to get Jim to dress up! Apparently it just takes the implied promise of sex to make Jim a costume guy. And bringing back Jim’s dad’s kilt was diabolical.
“It wasn’t that she didn’t want to spend her only two days off with people from the office, but she didn’t want to spend her only two days off from work with people from the office.” This is a mood. And I love that this is promptly followed by them nearly bumping into a whole group of Dunder Mifflinites. They can’t escape.
This is just a wildly entertaining chapter, and it’s nice to see them just relax and go a little crazier than they usually get to. *unusually loudly* DRUNK JAM WAS WONDERFUL.
Author's Response: I'm certain she would be a fantastic rapper. A hidden talent of hers, I'm sure. This was a fun chapter to write and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it!

Beth, this was so. freaking. fun to read. I looooove junk Jam and the way you wrote them was so fantastic and lovable. I had the biggest grin on my face the entire time.
“Do you mind taking us to the Bell, sir?” Why is this so adorable and funny? I love it.
I love party Pam and that she feels so comfortable around Jim and that he loves her even more because of it.
This whole dang thing was amazing!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I was dying writing those comments Pam was making. It was so unlike sober her and entirely too fun to write.
