The first graf is just a very solid description of Pam's confused state of mind about Jim.
I love this exploration of Jim's fundamental, albeit somewhat reluctant, affection for Michael. And I'm glad that you rooted it in one of Michael's heartbreaking moments of self-awareness - certainly feels like an easier guy to like in canon and in this tale when we see the sadness underneath the clowning.
This mention of Jim's consciousness of the fact that his courtship advice looks a lot like his plans with Pam definitely has my attention. I don't think much about it, but it does seem like Jim did a lot of lying to himself about that relationship, too.
Author's Response: I think Michael should always have something grounding him, because if he doesn't he's just awful. I'm glad that came through here.

I’m really enjoying how we are mostly seeing Michael through the eyes of the other characters, it’s definitely an interesting way to view his character.
Author's Response: Yeah, I think I find I'm more interested in people's reactions to Michael than in Michael's reactions to the world, so you'll probably keep seeing 3rd-party impressions throughout ;). I'm glad that's working for you.

Lovely as always. Can’t wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Danke :). I'll try to keep them coming.
