Love that Jim and Pam are very much partners in crime here. Even though they're dating they still haven't lost their sense of fun. Getting one over on Dwight like this sounds just about perfect too. Can't wait to see what kind of chaos it brings.

I can totally see Dwight finding this online "certificate," and using it for extra authority points. "It says 9 and up Jim! They don't just give these out to anyone!" Michael with 6 shooter caps guns would be an exercise in non-productivity for sure.
Glad Pam and Jim were able to take a quick break from all that craziness. Always fun to see them in a good place and finding ways to be together. Lots of fun in this chapter.

Absolutely wasn’t a filler chapter, was very cute! (Sorry it took so long to review!)
Loved that last line!
As. Ever looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks! Took me long enough to write the chapter too ;)

Feels like she's still getting her mental status in order. It's still the new phases of the relationship and that's all pretty exciting. And considering the previous relationship it feels like she wants to make sure of positive longevity with Jim. Not that she really needs to worry, to much. Still I think it's good to see her taking some time apart from him to get some perspective. Even if said perspective is a grilling by her folks. The reward at the end made up for it I'm sure.
Author's Response: Thanks, as always, for your careful and thoughtful reviews. I really appreciate you as an audience :)

"the old Flash Gordon movie with Brian Blessed as Ming the Merciless."
I LOVE that you know this film. Although Brian Blessed played Prince Vultan, leader of the Winged Bird-Men :D (sorry, my inner-nerd is showing.) Brian Blessed is a national treasure in the UK.
Loving how things are developing for Pam, too...
Author's Response: Valid point, but I'm gonna leave in Pam getting that wrong :) I'm a huge Blessed fan since his days in early Blackadder, so I had to get him in somehow. Thanks for reading!

Oh I just loved this chapter!! That ending was perfect! Can’t wait for the next update!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm afraid the next one is a bit of a filler, but I hope you like it anyway!

Yay! A big and bold step from Pam. One that matches the energy Jim brought. I can tell he was very excited to show her the listing. Then when she starts suggesting more than just a simple apartment hunt one can almost feel the usual warning signs going off in his head. They've been a part of him for so long I'm sure it would be hard to just turn them off. That is until Pam's statement there. Love the twisting around of the canon line. That was probably just as much of a mental tire-screeching halt to anything going on in Jim's mind as when she said she and Roy were no longer a thing.
Really like that Pam's also gotten the clarity about her feelings for Jim. That those feelings are real. That there's not feelings of a rebound or anything like that either. Great to see her some to that perspective on her own as well. Love me some good healthy Pam growth.
Well out of jellybeans by now, but this would have gotten one. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: You have such thoughtful comments that I really wish I could do them justice here in the replies. Thanks for the careful reading, and even though next chapter is a bit of a slowing of the plot pacing I hope you enjoy it!

Another small step for her. But a much more enjoyable one.she can just relish spending time with Jim. No overtones of guilt. And a fun and mostly harmless prank on Dwight. Great fun for sure.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And hopefully you'll enjoy a little more of a large step next chapter...

More questions bubbling up for Pam. She's got a taste of what Jim could be like as a more permanent fixture in here life. Seems like she's liking the taste too. Don't worry Pam, the answer wouldn't be no.
Feels like we're moving more and more into better times for the both of them. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
Author's Response: Thank you! As in most of my stories, this is a fairly slow Pam (she doesn't seem to realize quite how gone Jim already is!) but I think she's earned that, since she also hasn't gone through Casino Night or anything yet...

Nice gentle build up for Jim to "help" Pam, looking forward to how this pans out between them.

I love this chapter, but especially this line: "The copier still accepted whatever eldritch sacrifice it had been offered at the last repair call" - superb!

Very much liked this chapter, particularly the Jam banter at the end. Looking forward to apartment hunting!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I promise we'll get more banter (though the apartment-shopping itself may be more summarized than shown)

I can imagine that it was all Jim could do to not choke on his lunch or pull a spit take. This is huge for him to be sure. You've got him handling very well. Making sure she's ok first and THEN leaning into humor. Well done Jim for making sure to get the priorities right.
A couple bubbles of new feelings coming in for Pam too. Granted she's still fresh off the breakup, but there's something stirring there. Now that she has a squire at her side, it'll be fun to see where this new adventure takes her.
Also I love that you keep putting in references to things like classic literature in your stories. You've brought other more academic shall we say topics in that past. It works really well here too. Great job.
Author's Response:
Oh yeah, Jim is biting his tongue really hard here. And Pam is...starting to think.
And thank you! I work with classic literature in my day job, so I guess this is that coming through, so thanks for noticing!

So sorry to hear you haven’t been well. Hope you’re doing ok now. Great chapter as always and glad to see Pam’s thinking about her future and what could be for her new home!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm feeling better now, and so we have a new chapter! I'm glad you're enjoying it still!

More plans forming here which is nice. She's starting to adjust to the reality of not being with Roy which is also progress as well. So, yeah while daughnting, it also looks like she's keeping her eyes open to potential of things coming down the pipe.
Author's Response: She's working on it! We'll get some real progress next chapter. Thanks as ever for reading!

Yeah, the fallout can wait for a little bit. Pam still wearing the ring does sting a little. Feels like one last vestige of fear she needs to get over. Hopefully that'll happen soon.
Always great fun to see her and Jim messing with Dwight. Especially like this. Jim, needs to man up a little too. Stop using his sister as an excuse. It's handy for sure, but dude come on. Now granted he's unaware of her relationship status so ok, but still. Lovely job as always.
Author's Response: Thank you! I enjoyed writing that prank a bunch, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thus the damn bursts. Took long enough. Well done on Pam for finally seeing through everything. She's ready for a hard conversation and Roy blows her off yet again. By action he proves she's not a priority. After everything she's been going through mentally he blew his last chance to try figure that out. Not sorry for Roy in the slightest. I do feel bad for Pam since she's going to be going through some hard times in the near future. Though I suspect things will look up sooner than later.
Great job as always.
Author's Response: Thank you as ever! Pam is going to have a tough time, but not immediately, because after every storm there should come a calm, I figure.

A bit of return to old habits here. Tomorrow, I'll do this big thing tomorrow. Still, considering the day seller has some allowances can be made. We'll be generous and say two steps forward one step back. So yes there is some progress, but not as much as there could have been. Old habits die hard after all. Hopefully Jim will be around to give her a bit of inspiration soon as well.
Author's Response: There will be progress, I assure you! But it's still Pam, so yes, still some old habits as well.

Feels like Pam is getting closer! I liked the revelation at the end there of realising they hadn’t messaged each other
And absolutely Pam needs another large pizza. How she made it last a whole weekend shows a lot of restraint on her part! But maybe that’s also reflective of her relationship and taking things slow. Or maybe I’m just hungry and want pizza 😂
Author's Response: Thank you! I think she's a bit closer...and I think of Pam as the sort of person who tends to eat two pieces of pizza at a sitting, though I myself am much more of a pizza hog, so chowing down on a whole large in one day (Friday-Saturday) is a lot for her....YMMV.

Really liking the introspection Pam is doing here. She's not letting Roy or herself off the hook. Instead it feels like she's taking a good long honest look at her life and relationship. It's long overdue. That she's seeing the splotches now shows she's getting some needed clarity. Of course she's still making some compromises, like getting topping they both like on the second pizza. She's not quite comfortable in breaking all the ties quite yet. However, she's closer to mentally breaking up with Roy which means closer to actually breaking up with him too.
Author's Response: Thank you! She's much closer, and today's update will only push her further...though actually doing it is certainly another thing than thinking it.
