This was such a cute story, filled with all kinds of fun and sweet little details, which I always love. I think my favorite parts were 4 and 5, but only because I love the fluff and sweetness of them being together- but part 1 was definitely captured that bittersweet feeling that came with a lot of the Jim/Pam interactions in the first seasons.

Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us!

Author's Response:

Thank you for finding it and reading it and commenting after all these years! It always makes me smile when the MTT site reaches out from my fanfic-writing past. :)

 I loved writing this one. It was delightful to live with them over that whole span of time.

100% on board with Jim doing the bonus gifts thing again.

Author's Response: Ha, thanks!

Thank you so much for filling the gap here - it is disgraceful that we didn't get to see Jim and Pam's first Christmas together, let alone their first Valentine's.

Author's Response: We missed so much! I agree, which is why a LOT of my fics through that time were holiday-centric.

DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME CRY AT WORK.

Author's Response:

BWAH! I’m sorry— but I’m happy I can still touch your emotions after all this time.

 

Thanks for the reviews, my dear friend.

I love the call back to only buying his niece exactly what he's told to buy!

Author's Response: Thanks! I like that part myself. Heh.

Poor Karen. She was awesome. But she wasn't Pam.

Author's Response:

It’s funny how much more I appreciate her in hindsight. 

 

But she wasn’t Pam. Indeed.

This one is a punch in the heart. As per usual.

Author's Response: Well yes. Those were tough days for our boy. Thank you for reviewing chapters you’ve already seen!

I love so much that he clarified "I'm going to risk it" to himself, right after the urge to hug her. Ah, the beginning of JAM.

Author's Response: I had never done a “before the show” fic before! It was super fun to imagine how he got in so deep.

The teapot - take 2. There isn't anything I can say about that other than it's perfect.

What a lovely story!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun writing it. Your comments have made my night, thanks again for reading and letting me know what you thought! Happy new year!

They're so cute! And I love that he's finally buying her the art supplies.

Author's Response: I love them. Thanks!

"How many times would he be stuck right here?"

This is so good! It's bittersweet and sad, but ugh, it's so good.

Author's Response:

Thank you! That was my favorite line in this chapter, myself. Well, that and the unicorn thing... :)

 I am loving your reactions, thank you for taking the time to call comment on each chapter!

Oof, this one stings a little - I can't imagine what it would have been like to get a card from Pam and Roy and not immediately throw it in the trash just because Roy's name was on it.

Hang on to that other card, Jim.

Author's Response: Sorry for the sting! I have always loved thinking about those evening/weekend/morning hours when they have to mentally process the episode (or, workday, ha) just like we do. I do torture Jim a bit here. I’m glad you kept going!

Oh, this is cute. Poor Jim, he had it bad for Pam right from the start. The candy necklace is such a great gift.

Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun to try to imagine how it was for them before we “met” them.

Such a sweet way to bring thing around full circle. I love the new teapot idea and the new bonus gifts. Very well written. Thank you for sharing this one.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment on each chapter. I’m appreciate it so much! It’s so fun to revisit them and, in this case, see how things have been going. Happily Ever After is a nice Christmas gift, I think!

Aww, nice Jammy Christmas times here. Glad Jim could finally use his art supplies knowledge to use. Great little look into their world.

Author's Response: Thank you! I loved them in those giddy early days.

Ah Jim, still thinking of Pam. Nice to know that something like that could give him pause.

Author's Response: In my stories, it is rare indeed to find a Jim who isn’t wholly preoccupied with Pam! Glad you’re still enjoying!

Good take on how that night ended up. Gotta feel for Jim though getting that particular Christmas card in the mail on that day.

Author's Response: Thanks! That was probably a tiring day for several of them!

Aww, very cute. Nice to see good things happening in the parking lot too.

Author's Response: Ha! Yes, it wasn't nicknamed the Parking Lot of Doom for nothing, was it? Thanks for reading!

Ok this is beautiful. I don't usually care much for post-S3 stuff but I think the last couple chapters here are actually the sweetest and best

Author's Response: Thank you! I’m with you— most of my stuff is set in set in the early days. So I’m especially excited that you liked the later chapters! Thanks for reading and happy new year!

Very fluffy, very cute. Love it

Author's Response: I was specifically told to write something fluffy, so I’m so happy you thought it was! Thanks and happy new year!
