Wish I had more eloquent comments. I am simply so blown away with engaging and beautifully you have captured the emotions of all this…

I am in tears…. Good grief, I can feel the sadness and tension in each scene. And adding in Dwight missing was a PERFECT touch.

Holy moly…. Just… wow….
This whole time was hard to watch and I love seeing the correlation between the start of the show with the last season. Pam really had stopped speaking up as much and Jim made really bonehead decisions.

How brilliantly appropriate for you (nicemorningtoo) to end this one this way. Fun and sweet - after all the angst, they can enjoy their mornings again.

A deliciously perfect morning for sure. I get the feeling that Jim locked the door before he crawled into bed the night before. No use in taking chances.

Loved the canon lines at the end. A perfect way to end this one.

Not cool. You're not allowed to do that ever again.

You are, however, allowed to break and mend my heart in this manner whenever you want. The part where she replays all their moments was peeeeeeeerfect. Paper Airplanes on delicious steroids.

Please don't wait months to post the epilogue. I love this story too much.

Ah, finally the light starts to dawn. Same problem with these kids as always: they'll do *anything* for each other except communicate.

"I don’t just want you home more, I want you to come back to me." Um.

“You are what makes me happy. Nothing else.” Excuse me.

"When we finally started dating, I had to constantly remind myself that I wasn’t dreaming. Sometimes I still have to remind myself." Ma'am.

“I’m not going to give up on you.” Who do you think you are.

"She can’t give up on him, either." What gives you the right.

You! You! You! You just freaking did THAT!!! Here I was getting all sorts of ready to have my heart ripped out and YOU FREAKING DO THAT!!! Who in the hell gave you the right!!

Okay, now that I've got that out of my system. Good god what an update. Jim finally realizing what he's in danger of missing. Pam still trapped in her fear. Then when she tells him to leave, he finally does the right thing. He doesn't. He shuts the door and comes back to her. And of course the memories roll and at long last they've back together. Yes there will be stress, but they'll face it together. Thank you for bring in that moment and for Pam realizing just how much he's been there all these years. Outstanding resolution to all of this. Oof, ok, hopefully I can breathe now.

Great chapter and lovely to have this back, I did go back and re-read the whole thing, which was a pleasure!

Reading the chapter, it made me want to hit Pam over the head with a frying pan, to see if she clears up. Good thing she did in the end.

Oh god this was so angsty, I was preparing myself for a heartbreaking cliffhanger. So thank you for not hurting my heart like that. I loved Pam remembering everything at the end there. Looking forward to the epilogue!

I have to say that it was good to see Jim realize that
he could actually lose Pam. I do wish that Pam would stop being so hesitant about moving on from Dunder
Mifflin because her hesitancy is what caused her to stay with Roy for so long and the hurt she, and Jim had in season three. Someone on FB said that they didn’t like how Jim(and even Roy) got to end the show with the job that he loved but Pam was never happy with her career options. It was like the writers wanted her to be all about the man in her life instead of letting Pam have something just for herself,
like her art, and I think that played a part in the problem Pam and Jim had in season nine. 🤔

Thanks for the new chapter. It's amazing that Jim is still so lost about the one Pam wants or needs. I loved that she told him to his face that he doesn't give a shit about the company. But the encounter between them has been wonderful.

“Just let me do it, okay? She’s gotten used to me doing it.” Who do you think you are. What gives you the right.

"She’s praying and hoping that dropping the kids off at their dad’s won't be a normal occurrence, but at this point, she’s not sure, and she hates that." Thanks, I hate it too.

Okay. Ow. Why are you doing this to me. Ow.

Congratulations on managing to turn steam into a bummer, btw.

"She’s never had a one night stand, was never interested in sleeping with some random guy she met in a bar just for the fun of it, but she imagines the walk to her car is similar to what the walk of shame might feel like." wtfaly.gif

It’s interesting that Pam felt like their current situation is like what it was in season three
because that’s how I always felt it was as well.
As much as I love JAM it always drove me crazy with their lack of communication. At least the Pam in this story is being upfront with her feelings and boundaries.

"He starts to pull back but she doesn’t let him, figuring that she’d rather suffocate this way than how she would if he stopped." EXCUSE ME?! Who gave you the right?

This was so fullllll of beautiful angst and my heart hurts. I hate watching them realize how far apart they have grown but I trust you will fix that. Or I might have to disown you as a soul sister.

Ow. Let me go ice my feelings.

Ouch. I want to say so close and they're making progress, but there's still so much hurt and pain. Clearly they still need and want each other, but Pam's right nothing's fixed. However this time I'm putting the responsibility on Pam. Jim was there offering to talk, to listen, to be with her. And she leaves this time. So yeah, that's a much worse walk of shame at the end. I get that she's hurt, but she's also giving off huge mixed signals. Telling Jim everything she wants and when he offers to start working on it, she turns away from him.

So maybe a tiny step forward, but they're still a long way away from fixed.

Just stab us in the heart, why don’t you?!?! OMG the angst! I’ve recently been watching these episodes and they are SO. DAMN. HEAVY. and this chapter is no less!! Pam dropping the kids off at Jim’s Philly apartment? Waaaayy too similar to a routine kid exchange if they were divorced. Her pulling Jim
back up because she “couldn’t be with her thoughts alone”?!?!? Pam having to leave before the morning?!?!? Them both not saying I love you?!?! Baby Phil in a pack and play and little Cece in a giant bed at not their home?!?! Killing us here! Please say it gets better! Pleeeeeease?!?!

I love the stories that happen in season 9. I'm pro Pam the whole series, even during all her failures (Roy, Pratt, Michael Scott Paper Company), but I'm mostly pro Pam in season 9. Maybe because we live those disappointments in our daily lives and I saw myself reflected, or maybe because Jim showed how selfish and idiotic he is, something we already knew, but it was especially seen in season 9.
All this to tell you that I like your story. I like Pam who is determined and fights for what she wants, and I like that Jim got what he deserved. I hope you continue it.

I somehow missed there was another chapter of this! And an even more heart-breaking one. Jim not knowing the latest with Pam's routine is such a good (and sad) nod to them not being quite in sync at the moment, and the fact that he's not been listening to her lately like he usually does. I really like that Pam stands up for herself on the phone with him - even though I feel for him - because it's important for her to call him out for some of this stuff (which I sort of wish we'd seen on the show). Him almost going to her and then making a u-turn, but for very different reasons to the last time he did, is so hard to read (in the best possible way). I also love, love Pam's moment with Dwight at the end. I really need this to have a happy ending though because that last line has killed me!

Yeah, I have a lot of questions

Number one how dare you

(This is beautiful and sad and very real and you are doing an amazing job of breaking my heart, keep it up. Also Dwight made me teary eyed and I never thought I’d say that.)
