I think you are right, there had to be more than just one "teapot note", there must of been many times Jim must have tried to put his thoughts down to paper even if they would never be shared anywhere besides the box. I enjoyed this take on it and how the box got passed around. Now I'm a bit surprised that temptation never got to any of the possessors but hey it's your story...and I'm glad WE got to see some of the other notes -both before and after they get together.
And I just loved the line about losing his dream -
“Lose her? She’s right here. And I’m never letting go of her.”
Nice job with this first story.

Firstly, congratulations on your first MTT story posting. Secondly, that was utterly gorgeous, a real pleasure to read. Did we get a hint at the end that there could be a Pam version of this with some of her drawings? I would love to read about that.

Well, first off, welcome to MTT. What a way to make an entrance. Charting a bit of the history of the Teapot not through time. There were so many emotions wrapped in this one. Jim's hurt as he preps to leave for Stamford. Pam's confidence building but not quite there when Mark gives her the box. And of course the love they clearly share when she finally reads the Note and then all the other notes. Beautiful.
I really love the idea that Jim had to write something down and store it when his feeling got just that bit extra. I can also see why he'd call it a Pandora's box of sorts. In the early days I'm sure it would be something that would be in equal parts comfort and pain. Then later good reminders of his feelings for her. Lovely way to treat it all.
Outstanding look through their lives with these snippets. I loved it.

Ok this was just AMAZING! I honestly loved it so much. I'm a sucker for Mark (well my internalised version of him) and I loved him keeping the box and then giving it to Pam. And her never opening it!!! Way more restrained that I could ever be!
All the little notes that Jim has kept are just TOO CUTE!
'I don't want you to lose your dream' 'lose her? she's right here' killed me - that was just too good
Congrats on your first fic here and looking forward to lots more from you!
