Nervous!Jim is adorable. Love how the Beeslys treat him, knowing exactly why he's there. Especially her dad. ;)

God, I was breaking out in a nervous sweat right along with Jim. Very true to character. Nice job!

Awww, that's really sweet! I think you really captured well Jim's nervousness and linked it really well to the show.
I also love the fact that Pam's parents know exactly what Jim is doing, and yet keep pretending and are still very moved. The sentence about Jim relating to Pam's dad because they have one goal in common was really touching.
Very well done! And poor 34-years-from-now!Jim :D

P.S. This moment is beautful: Mrs. Beesly wipes her eyes and folds him into an embrace. “You do make her happy, sweetheart. You make her so happy.”
He wraps his arms around her and whispers “thank you” in her ear, feeling choked up.

Awww, your Nervous!Jim is adorable, and very believeable. I might never have pegged Jim for an "ask the parents" sort of guy, except for that talking head where he mentions he wants to do well to impress Pam's parents - which means he's really a very traditional guy in a lot of ways. Fun read. My favorite part was the "he would find out 34 years later ..." bit.

This is fantastic! The image of Jim and the Pam's parents is so vivid, ivy, that I felt like I was there. Jim's "speech" is sincere and perfectly in character. Great job.

I adore how inside Jim's mind this is! You did an amazing job capturing, not only, the nervousness of Jim, but also the feelings Pam's parents had when he came by the house, unannounced and without thier daughter. They knew what was coming, and I loved how Helene knew the boy needed a drink and Will, while recognizing that he has an adult daughter, remained a protective dad.
I loved the opening sentence, it made me wonder if, once back at home with Pam, the rest of the evening could be captured in another story of yours that I love...
Author's Response: My original thought was for a one-shot, but if the muse bites (do muses bite?) I'd be open to adding another chapter.

My husband and I always look at each other and say "Yeah, kiss her. Kiss her good" every.single.time that we see people kissing. It's hilarious to us, and our friends don't hold back on their judgment of us. It's the circle of life.
That said, I lovelovelove the idea of this. Love. Can I say love one more time? Because I love this. Jim's nervousness, Helene's understanding of why he was there immediately, Will's nonchalance. Perfection.
Author's Response: You and your husband sound awesome.

NAILED IT!!! I have always wanted to read a fic where Jim asks Pam's dad for his "permission," to marry Pam, and you seriously nailed it. I could see Jim acting JUST like that. Nervous and stumbling over his words. Brilliantly done. Love it!
Author's Response: Thank you! I liked the line about wanting Pam's parents to be "psyched" about his plans.

Wow. This was so amazing! You conveyed his emotions perfectly! I started to do a nervous tap with my foot between each pause. Love love love it! :)
