The dialogue in the bedroom scene is terrific, and I like the idea of Niagara Falls as a place with a separate special meaning for each of them individually.
And as always, I like that you've set Pam down the road towards a split with Roy for reasons that have everything to do with Roy as a person and the rut their relationship is in and that he's fine with it staying in. Very true to the Beach Games lines.
Author's Response: Thank you. The bedroom scene was inspired by a bit of a challenge NLM set as to why the motorcycle picture is in the hallway and in Jim's room. That part was good fun. Glad you liked the reasons they sought out the falls even if at this point in their lives it's more than a little heartbreaking.

So I saved this for the anniversary and I'm glad I did. Great angst buildup. Good mixing of times. And we all know I love a good thoughts l thoughtless Roy.
Author's Response: Thanks. This chapter was fun to bring together. Lots of heartache at that time to be sure. I'm glad it came across well.

I am loving this concept! The arm draped across her shoulder almost did me it. So hoping this ends the Niagara we all know and love!
Author's Response: There were a lot of moments like that in S2 where it's clear Jim is trying to be more-than-friends, but Pam just can't quite get there yet. I hope you like the rest of what I've got planned. Thanks for the comment.

I really liked this concept! Setting up the importance of the falls with the flashback & having them both visit in times of turmoil. It definitely adds another dimension to their choice of wedding location in canon...
The flashback was very, very sweet. I enjoyed Pam’s prank and Jim’s spiel about it.
Is it the teapot letter that Jim’s contemplating throwing overboard?
I hope the falls answers them both - more so Pam in this instance...
Author's Response: Thanks Jenna. I wish I could let you in on where we're going with this, but what fun would that be? Stay tuned though and all your questions will be answered. It was fun to add that flashback with the prank and banter to give a start as to why the falls were important. I'm glad you liked it. As always I'm very grateful for your constant feedback.

I can’t wait to see how this one goes. Already in love with the set up here. I think the description of Pam and Roy’s relationship and Pam’s role in said relationship as motherly is strangely apt both here and in cannon.
Author's Response: Thank you. I've long thought that Roy is the kind of guy who peaked in high school. Thus he can't handle an adult relationship with Pam which leads to her feelings here. I hope to hear more from you going forward.
