This is just really solid from beginning to end. You have created a very natural set of circumstances post-Casino Night to allow Pam to wake up, realize what she’s feeling and do something about it, and a Jim who seems worthy of it – the line with him asking her to get out of the street is perfect. And as always, you’ve crafted an amazing Larissa and let her in on some of the fun as Jim and Pam get up to shenanigans. Good work with this.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Making Jim worthy of it is such a lovely description of what I wanted to do here that I will treasure it. And thanks for the Larissa kudos!

I really enjoyed this! I do like stories that explore their lives and their friends and family outside of the office, and this one does that really well. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate the specificity of that comment and the kindness of your response in general.

Such a lovely story! I'm glad to see confident Pam and how easily she interacted with Jim's family. What a shame that the show had gone otherwise :(
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.

Oh, Comfect! You do this to me every damn time!
This is so wonderfully, beautifully written. I really like your Larissa here, the Halperts shared Prankness (Quick Draw Pam at the elevator was a damn delight!). This chapter read (absolutely a compliment) like an episode: feel good moments, humor, the plot moved forward to that call with Jan.
Speaking of Jan, I really like how realistic this WHOLE part was. I like Jan (until they turned her into a caricature; I'll refrain from launching into my Thoughts on That) and I feel like you gave a small nod to her romantic and sentimental side here.
That last line was so great!
As always, well done and thank you for this treat from you!!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you DC! There is no higher compliment than that it felt like an episode, and felt realistic (I agree about later Jan). I really appreciate your taking the time to read and review!

This story was everything that is good and pure in the world. I loved it so much. If only Pam had been so bold so early. This iteration of Larissa was a great inclusion too. Thanks for sharing!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you so much! I'm delighted to hear all of this, particularly the part about Larissa (I'm always concerned about writing her since she's basically a non-entity in the show). Thank you for reading!

Great birthday present. Thank you very much. I've very much enjoyed this tale. It's great to see Pam realize so quickly what she really wants and then to act on it so decisively. I loved how you wrote Larissa as well. I get the feeling that in this universe she's been on of Jim's go to people when he's needed to talk about Pam. Thus all her wonderful silliness here is her way of expressing her joy about everything as well.
I also really liked the do-over kiss at Jim's desk. I have to ask, what that little scene in any way inspired by "Reset and Restart?" If so great way to use that idea but make it your own. If not, same compliment still applies.
Lots of fun with this story. Thanks for writing it. I'll leave with my normal send off for a completed fic, but this time it seems to fit even more.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. That scene was not inspired by "Reset and Restart" but I do think great minds think alike (or run in the same gutters as my parents used to say) so I do recognize the overlap now that I've written it! It was just because I realized I had Pam literally in the office still wearing the dress...
I fully agree about Larissa, and I'm glad that worked for you, because that's how I would have liked to see a fleshed-out sister on the show. God knows Jim could use some people to talk to (and maybe if he'd had them he wouldn't have been so angsty...but that way lies madness).
Fortune does indeed favor the bold, at least here. And in all my fics, actually, but this is probably the most explicit about that...
