Awww, look at Pam doing something so sweet for Kevin. Lovely. So I'm sensing a theme here. Jim and Pam almost meeting, but as of yet, not quite getting there. Makes the story very compelling to be sure.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

Pam's on a mission. I like it. A bit tragic the news about Phyllis' backstory though. And a Micheal sighting. Behaving quite curious too. Sounds like there's something more going on there.
Author's Response:
Thank you for reading! Yeah, I'm not entirely sure that Phyllis deserves the pain I'm causing her in this AU haha.

The photobooth speculation is a lot of fun, and feels a lot like the sort of games Jim and Pam would play. And the image of a nun-habited Pam showing up an adult emporium is hilarious.
Author's Response:
Thank you very much! It reminded me a lot of the clip where they're trying to decide what Dwight was trying to say with his signs haha. Yeah, maybe she should have gone for the cat costume... She would have stood out less...

I love the wordless communication between them - very sweet and very JAM. And Pam makes for an adorable prankster/spy/deliverer of lost goods.
Author's Response:
Thank you! This is becoming more of a Pam Beesly prankster/spy/deliverer of lost goods AU than an Amelie AU haha.

There's a lot of fun stuff in here. A very cool sort of whimsical, fantastical tone. I like it.

Thank you very much!

My heart swells from the sweetness and subtle sadness of this chapter. Poor Phyllis, waiting for a husband who never comes back (if only you won't change it ;)), and I found it amazing to give the role of Raymond to Michael. Can't wait to see how their friendship will develop, as well as can't wait for Kevin's reaction to his childhood treasures!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Something tells me Pam will come up with a way to cheer Phyllis up! I think I'm going to have to take a bit of artistic license with Michael... I need his heartfelt moments of wisdom to be a little bit more frequent than usual. It'll be hard for him, but I think he can do it (that's what she said).

I love this AU you've created and am happy to see Jam sort of meet and a hint of Dwangela!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I know from all my lurking that this is the right place for a JAM meet-cute, so I'm glad you like it! :)

Very cute here. Always love when there's an instant attraction between Jim and Pam. Depsite a differnt time and place, it seems our usual cast of characters are fairly similar versions of themselves. Very easy to see Dwight talking into a tape recorder like that, same for Angela's judgemental glances.
No I don't think you're imagining things there Pam. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
Author's Response:
Thank you! It was fun to see how easily the characters fit into those of the source material.
She's almost never imagining things when it comes to Jim!

Not me tearing up when Pam had to say goodbye to Fluffy...
This is one of those stories you can tell is gonna be a good one. I'm excited to read more!
Author's Response:
Don't be sad - the bond between a woman and her goldfish is one that can never be broken.
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you! :)

A quick but good look into Pam's character here. I get why she'd want to get out of that house. Glad she's found the city excititng. The image that she can skip stones across the river to say hi to Fluffy is adorable.

Thank you for reading and for your kind feedback!

Nice set up. I don't know the source material for this one so it'll be fun to see where this goes. Good way to introduce the cast in this world.

STANLEY SIGHTING!
This scene of them wordlessly communicating across the train tracks is lovely.
This is a hilariously creepy Dwight.
I don't know how much you're following the movie, but this does feel very JAM like so far.
Author's Response:
Take a shot every time Stanley appears in the background of scenes in this story. I'm going to scatter him in more and more as we go on haha!
Thank you so much! The general story is the same as the movie, but I'm trying to 'JAM it up' where I can. It's a fun little exercise for sure!

I've actually never seen Amalie, but the pun is worth the price of entry here.
There's some really cool and well-described imagery here - and I love both the introduction of the ensemble and the sign of the connection between Jim and Pam!
Author's Response:
Haha thank you, the key to writing fanfic is to start with an excellent pun. This prologue was actually really fun to write. It was a fun little warm up for writing this!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE it! I like to blend things I like together myself, and you chose such a fantastic AU! Your story is so whimsical and dream-like and just perfectly captured the movie's spirit. And I like that just in a few sentences, you introduced us to the main characters and other heroes of this story. Thank you!
I am looking forward to the following chapters!
Author's Response:
Yay! Thank you so much! The more I was thinking about the more I realised how PERFECT these two would be for an Amelie AU, so I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
