This is a fun remix of canon - a Pam who draws lines with Roy after their disastrous first dates is a fantastic Pam, and I really enjoy her rationale for saying the Kevin's Bar night was not a date. She's not letting Jim back into this one, he's going to have to earn it.
Author's Response: I had a lot of fun writing the closing for this chapter, assertive Pam is a lot of fun to write. Glad to hear you enjoyed reading it!

I'm finally catching up on all the recent updates, so I'm a bit late but nonetheless, this was a great chapter! I loveee how you mix in parts of canon while also making it all your own, like how Jim asks Pam out. Loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing regardless! I'm glad to hear you liked it.

Aw! I loved how you turned the “that wasn’t a date” scene on its head and have her ask to be wooed. So cute! Also, yay Roy for providing Pam the in she needed to get closer to Jim!
Author's Response: Happy to hear you enjoyed that, thanks for reviewing!

Very interesting backstory there. Roy's coming off as the kind of brutish oaf he normally is. I wonder if he's going to make anything of it. County Deputy vs City Cop type thing. Still it's nice to see that Roy and Pam are not an item here.
Even better to see what looks like the start of Jim and Pam getting together. Looked like a nice smooth transition from friend to more than that. Fun to read Pam being mischievous and demand to be wooed. I've got a feeling Jim will rise to that occasion.
Nice work here.
Author's Response:
I'm more familiar with the system we have up here for police services, so that's what I've been leaning towards. By default, if a municipality doesn't have a police service it is provided by the provincial police, and usually incorporated into the taxes. If no provincial police service is present, it's provided by the federal RCMP. Some communities may find it more cost effective to hire and maintain their own police force, as the RCMP can get quite expensive over time, so that's what I imagine Dunder Mifflin has done. The Sheriff's office actually fulfills the role of prisoner transport, security for courts, and corrections, that sort of thing. There may be some manly competition though, we'll see. Maybe Roy's realised what a good thing he missed out on all those years ago?
I figured after years of knowing each-other, with no attachments, all these two needed was a little nudge in the right direction to get them together. I'm glad you liked Pam's attitude there, that was fun to write too.
Thanks for your review!

I’m so here for answers on the Roy connection...
“When he met her eyes, he saw her beaming ‘Save me!’ into his brain for the second time that night.” Oh I love the way they understand each other. It’s great that a look for Pam is enough to communicate exactly what she needs from Jim.
Right, the double date. Ha. Poor Pam, good thing she got out of that!
“but he was pretty sure fake date was worse than friendzone” Oh Jim. I don’t know about that - fake dating to lovers is one of the best tropes out there. I feel like there’s hope!
I LOVE that Pam hasn’t dropped his hand. The fact she’s tracing patterns? My heart.
Morning pancakes. Well, that’s all kinds of adorable.
Wow. You’re really throwing out some of the biggest and bestest lines here:
“Some people might say that we had our first date last night”
“Are you free for dinner tonight?”
I am living. They have such a fun, flirty dynamic here.
Author's Response: Loving the play by play review here, gave me a good chuckle. Really glad you enjoyed this diversionary chapter into the character drama side of things. Thanks for reviewing!

I hope you continue to be hungry (not like dying or anything) because the pancakes part was so cute! I really enjoyed this, and I hope that there is more cop show, more wooing, and more of the backstories you've conjured up to come!
Author's Response:
Gee, thanks for wishing hunger on me! Glad you liked it though, it was a lot of fun to write, although I'm sort of worried about setting a precedent here, this is my second fix-it that involved a pancake breakfast early on in their relationship.
Happy to hear you're enjoying things so far, definitely more of all of the above to come, don't you worry.
Thanks for reviewing!
