Finally getting caught up with reviewing and you are my first stop.
Took me a bit to even delve in since I'm not usually one for the smut, however By the time you posted your third chapter it had been shared by others that there was a bit in your chapter 3 that was very relevant to a survey question I had asked on the Discord chat. My interest was piqued so I began this story (i haven't yet read the chapter 3 that gets into the question which was about the BC pills, but I have read 1 and 2).
So I'll say again, not usually about the smut, only because I feel like I am intruding on too intimate of a moment between two real people, but I still really enjoyed what you did here. WHoleheartedly agree they waited and that the waiting was both torturous and tantric and a very good lead up to the purchase of a celeb sex tape (which yes I also agree felt very unPamlike) but feels very explainable as you write.
NOw your other reviews talk about how hot and steamy and while yes, it was, what I loved here were the more playful and very intimate moments that floated up around the steam The double speak while playing Free Cell/Watching Videos - yup so very them.
That JIm -despite the heat of the moment still slows to make sure it is still "Okay" - OH Jim, that is what really makes him sexy.
This line -
Yes,” she breathes against his mouth, and while it sounds like an answer to his question, she knows it’s the answer to every question he’ll ever ask of her. Yes, yes, yes. Anything. Everything. - this sensation, this feeling, that is passionate love. As is this-
"His stomach gives a little flip at the sudden realisation that they really do have all the time in the world now, that she really is his. He can worship her out in the open. He can fall at her knees and she’d let him.
That in the middle of it -Pam has a moment of Pamness - and Jim knowing her so well recognizes it and becomes her voice - all the while making sure it is all what she wants- that is hot.
These two had a quite a first time - nicely done.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I really appreciate that you gave this fic a chance, even if it wasn’t your usual cup of tea. While I absolutely love writing the smut, I also love to show the care they have for each other, so I’m glad that shines through and you enjoyed it. I must frequent the Discord chat more often! I’m a sucker for any mention of my story. 🙈

So that was a helluva chapter to be sure. It seems Jim's sense of how Pam is doing at any given moment is still pretty on point. Though Dwight's observations are more keen in other regards. Though I love all the quick comeback Jim had against Dwight, like the line about Dwight wearing glasses. Perfect.
Kinda figured we'd get a bit of comparison with Jim vs Roy here and it there wasn't really a surprise. Toss a couple midol and stay away for a week vs. actively doing his best to be supportive for her. You can feel Pam just swooning for him as she receives more than overdue support especially considering this period is hitting her so hard.
I agree with several other reviewers. The bedroom scene was very well done. Nice that you included some practical details too, like the black towel. Even non-period sex can get somewhat messy and having the ability to clean up is just practical. Also another way Jim is showing how much thought he's putting into taking care of her. Then he's gentle and patient with her. Letting her tell him what's okay and how to best be with her. Great job taking care of her that. No wonder she's so willing to reciprocate the next morning. You write them as equals in their relationship really well. Something I think both of them were craving in a relationship for a long time and they're finding it in each other.
Bravo.
Author's Response: I was swooning for Jim even as I wrote this chapter! Thank you so much for this thoughtful and in-depth review. I loved writing Pam and Jim as equals and definitely agree with you that they have finally found the relationship they were looking for in each other.

This was very thoughtfully and well-written and very tastefully (apologies for the poor pun) done. Full of pathos and didn't feel "dirty" to read (except possibly the very last paragraph, ahem!)
Author's Response:
Pun very much appreciated. 😅 Thank you for your kind review, I couldn’t resist a few small paragraphs of the dirty stuff!

The Jim. Halpert. Boyfriend. Experience. UGHHHHH.
Seriously though, you had some FANTASTIC lines in here. I’m not going to copy and paste all 13k words in this review box but I will mention this:
*Pam’s confidence in bed seemed to dither and surge like the changing weather, and while it didn’t bother him, and he in fact swooned powerfully over the shy, demure girl she could be sometimes, all he wanted to do was lift her up and show her how incredible she really was to him, that she had nothing at all to be afraid of. To see her taking this small amount of charge over his actions, guiding him even though he felt the trembling hesitation in her body, made his chest swell with pride. He would do anything for her.*
because I SIMPLY PASSED AWAY 😭🥰
Author's Response: Ahhhh, thank you! Wouldn’t we all just love a boyfriend like Jim Halpert? 😉🥰

Okay but, going AWOL was completely fine if THIS is the product of that!
First off, thank you for opening up this conversation about how menses are normal and how any menstruating individuals out here in the world shouldn’t feel ashamed for doing so! We need more of this type of attitude toward it.
Now, HOLY HELL! Never would I ever imagine to read a fic about period sex and adore it, but here we are! Just Jam taking care of each other… I love it. I love Jim caring for her like this (in EVERY sense of the word). Just, ugh, made my heart melt!
This was amazing, cannot WAIT to see what else you have in store for this fic!!
Author's Response:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The smut is certainly a joy and very fun to write, but I loooove to write them caring for each other, with all that intimacy and love.
I started off way back in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, where period fics were fairly common, for obvious reasons (vampires, blood etc.) But I couldn’t find any on here! So I just had to write my own. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

That's quite the mojo return!
I loved the lead-in here, and all Jim's observations of Pam and the way he's luxuriating in being *able* to observe Pam. The Dwight dialogue is terrific and very much in his voice, and the details throughout are really solid - the fake business names, the background stuff with Kelly's mouse and Dwight's weaponry. Felt very true to the branch.
I really appreciate your commitment to Pam's emotional as well as physical journey in this one, and the way that having a supportive and loving partner helps her make that journey.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I really appreciate those kind words. I actually loved thinking up those fake business names, so I’m glad they were noticed, haha.

I am really enjoying this series so far! Drunk Pam is an always guaranteed good laugh! I knew it probably wouldn't happen, but my mind kept drifting off to 'What if they get caught?!' LOL! Jim's such a good sport through it all and of course, very loving to her. I hope this keeps going, can't wait to see what you come up with next 😁
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I would have loved for them to get caught somehow, but just couldn’t work it realistically. Maybe in another chapter... ;P

Your drunk Pam is spot on, and very funny. The smut in this is amazing, again, and I’m not sure how you made a scene that ended in Pam throwing up quite so hot and adorable but…it was very, very good. (Jim’s ‘well that was flattering’ also made me lol). Handsy Pan in the bar was a lot of fun, especially Jim trying to fend her off under the table, and there are some really great lines in this: ‘and that brings back another memory of a night like this, of Pam drunk against his lips for a brief second, of “Second drink!”, and his stomach warms’ and ‘getting her arms through is like threading a needle with cooked spaghetti’ are I think two of my favourite. And then the ending with Jim taking care of her is so sweet. I loved this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, what a lovely, thoughtful review! I watched ‘The Dundies’ to refresh my drunk!Pam memory and she’s a hilarious drunk, so I really wanted that humor to come through. So glad you liked it.
Date: September 12, 2021 10:50 pm Title: The Things You Can Do With Your Hands
The title set me up for a drunk Handsy!Pam. The first few paragraphs inside Poor Richards had me settling in with that thought because you wrote drunk Handsy!Pam so well. Then BAM. Nope; you wrote a realistic physicality for several Long Island Iced Teas where someone else has to take over.
You have a knack for throwing in lighter moments at just the right time like Pam's difficulty with her panty hose and Jim's "Well, that's flattering" You also get in the inner monologues (Jim's thoughts on should I or shouldn't I) fully but with an economy that is admirable. Lurking in the deeper recesses was the "I can be first in a car" motivation yet you didn't belabor the point. You are very good at straddling the line of more or less.
No MTT sophomore slump in Chapter 2. Good onya.
Author's Response:
Ah, what a flattering review, thank you so much! As much as I love writing the smut, I do like the lighten it up a bit with some humour, so I’m glad it’s working well.
Definitely pushed myself sometimes late at night to keep writing through tiredness, so it worked well to get into Pam’s headspace, haha. Long Island Ice Teas’ll knock you around.

Ha! I love me some drunk Pam, and I think you did right by her. Knowing what we do about drunk Pam, I can see her being particularly uninhibited at this relatively new stage of their relationship. And handsy-ness aside, this seems very much in line with the drunk Pam we see in The Dundies and PDA.
"she’s floppy and exaggeratedly sullen like a toddler who’s not ready to leave play group yet, being led away by their mother... getting her arms through is like threading a needle with cooked spaghetti." There's a lot of quality drunk!Pam description here. You walked the line well between Goofy Happy Drunk Pam and Sex Kitten Drunk Pam.
And the smut!!!!!!
And the smut ending with Pam throwing up is a great comic touch!
Author's Response: My two favourite Pams! Thank you so much for your lovely review.

Guh. This was glorious. I love how you talked about Jim not being sure if this was what Pam wanted and then having him remember "that she wants him always, rain, hail or shine, first thing in the morning or last thing at night," because that was just adorable. And DEAR LORD the smut. No words. Just awe and a melting heart.
Author's Response: Awe and a melting heart, just the reactions I wanted! So glad you enjoyed, and thank you for your kind review.

No you did drunk Pam justice that's for sure. Especially a Pam that's now with Jim. Finally drunk Pam can truly have her way with Jim and it's just all sorts of hot and amazing. The nearness, heat, and closness of them in his car like that really came through. Made it a great read. And of course Jim being the kind and responsible boyfriend he is, is right there the next morning to take care of her. Great job.
Author's Response: I can’t pass up an opportunity for Jim to take care of Pam. Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed.

Drunk Pam may be hard to write, but you captured her SO WELL!
Drunk Jim/Pam is always a fun trope to read, and you executed this so goddamn perfectly!
“She’s exquisite, a goddess sent from heaven, sitting in his lap” UGH YES! Jim worshipping her is *chef’s kiss*

HO-LY shit. That was a very good first chapter!!! Welcome aboard!
Really, really well written. The first three paragraphs established a nice rhythm. You have a firm grasp of voices, characterizations, and mannerisms on each character you mentioned – not just Jim and Pam but Toby, Kelli, even Sadiq. Your pacing, details, and follow through on each scene was commendable; you didn't rush anything.
The funny bits were wonderful.
Only one shoe between them
god, he must have been booking it
Pam falling on the stairs and Jim's “go, go, come on”
Jim getting her bra off “in all the commotion” cracked me up
Pam clapping her hands over her face and Jim having to peel them off (It takes some getting used to my unique sense of humour)
I hadn't checked the rating before beginning to read. Halfway through, I was glad I can find my smokes by touch. I needed one but didn't want to interrupt my reading.
I've always thought the video was the Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee leaked one. Pam was just curious what her prior possible namesake was up to. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Good onya

Author's Response:
Thank you so much for that fantastic, in-depth review. It warms my li’l soul! I’m so glad it’s coming across as authentic and accurate, despite the huge smut-fest.
I’ve heard on Office Ladies they debated whose sex tape it was, but the year that ‘Fun Run’ came out was the same year as the Kim Kardashian sex tape, so I had to imagine it was being advertised everywhere online in ads, and took inspiration from that. 😂 I definitely don’t discount the Pam Anderson idea, though!
1 [Report This]Date: September 07, 2021 05:24 pm Title: A Celebrity Sex Tape?
Hee, I love this as a reason why Pam might have downloaded that celebrity sex tape! But also, to echo a lot of reviews here: wow. That was something.
I really like the way you’ve made this so them even with all the smut, and how you’ve written the two of them finally really able to just enjoy each other (it’s very joyous smut, if that’s a thing, and I love it). Also this line midway through was perfect: ‘Wow, she thinks in sudden realisation, sex with Jim.’
This was so good!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I took pains to try to get the characterisation right, so I’m glad it comes across. Joyous smut is a great descriptor, I guess I just want them to be happy and in love always. a86;a039;

Attempt #2 of writing a full review for your chapter!
It must have been a rough first six weeks for Jam, huh?
I absolutely loved your fic. Your writing style for spicy things is incredible! I also loved how you used the sex tape to lead into Pam’s “game” she shows Jim. Ugh, that part killed me.
The entire spicy section was AMAZING. You write Jim with dirty talk so well! I love it!
I cannot WAIT to read more! Welcome again to MTT! What an amazing first fic!
Author's Response: Ah, thank you, thank you! a86;a039; I must admit, I do love to write the spicy stuff, and Jim/Pam just make the most perfect pairing for it. I can’t wait to write more!

First off welcome to MTT and writing here. Always great to have another writer join the crowd.
Second, holy hell!! While I agree with some other that I doubt Jim and Pam lasted six weeks before really going for it, writing it this way provided for a delicious build up. The way they can openly flirt with each other now at the office was delightful. Of course when they get alone they just throw themselves at each other. Beautifully descriptive.
One quick point of order, at the start of S4 Ryan was at corporate not there in Scranton. Just a quick note from my pedantic brain. VERY minor quibble. Everything else was fantastic.
Author's Response: Ooh, thank you, I've just gone back and changed that! I definitely appreciate a pedantic brain while writing smut, as it's easy to make a mistake on those little details when other, more fun things are going on. ;) Thank you for your kind review and welcome.
