I love this story! So intriguing. Can't wait for Panama!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so thrilled to hear you're enjoying it :) Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate it. And hope Panama delivers haha...

Yeah, here's me not caring that this is getting broken up into two chapters. This was just great. It really feels like they finally have a chance to just be themselves for a day. To enjoy each other's company and to no one's surprise it all goes great.

More than that all the adapted things from canon. Pam and the hot sauce, Toby making out in front of Jim and Pam with his girlfriends, getting drunk on margaritas, asking if the other is drunk, teasing banter with each other. All of it solid gold. It really feels like they've taken some much bigger steps together in how they feel. Just beautiful to see and experience.

Of course there's still some tension in the air. Drying off like that in the same room. Sharing a bed again. Hopefully they'll still remember and have the courage to say more things to each other in the morning when sober.

Wonderful update with this one!

Author's Response:

Ah, thanks so much! This one was a lot of fun to write, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it :) And yeah - I did want to give them some angst-free moments to actually enjoy each other's company...

Really pleased you thought the borrowing from canon worked too (that Toby scene from the show, I have to say, is one of my favourites. Just from the pure awkwardness). Thank you so much for taking the time to review!

I'm so glad you're back!!! And with such a great update! They always make me happy, and this one... oh my, the scene on the plane was so wonderfully written... and heart-aching. I nearly cried at the moment with Pam reading through the newspapers and looking for Jim's name... okay, I'm nearly crying just writing about it in this review. So touching...
Also, I love to see Toby happy and content! Thank you for giving him that!
I can't wait to read your next chapter (and can't wait to find out, how the tension between "Mr. and Mrs. Halpert" will go...)
Oh! Nearly forgot! The line 'this thing between them feels so perfect, and so fragile, and she doesn't want anything to ruin it,' is lovely and describes my vision of Jam perfectly. Thank you

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! Ah that's so lovely to hear, I'm really glad you enjoyed this one.  And yeah, I felt like they couldn't have separated even as kids without just a bit of pining... 

I did really want to give Toby some happiness! I briefly contemplated having him join them, but then I thought I'd actually just rather he finally got his Costa Rica dream. And I'm really pleased you liked that line! Thanks very much for reviewing :)

Here comes your 101st review. Congratulations !!!
I was just thinking about this story when your update showed up. I love how you are going with this. I like the slow movement in their relationship. No matter how much passion and love they have, Pam has just got out of/sort of from an engagement and facing a complete betrayal while he has merely re-entered her life.

Author's Response:

Ah, thanks so much! I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying it - and yeah, I didn't want her to jump straight into something else while she's still dealing with Danny, but equally I do think she deserves some happiness at some point... 

Thanks very much for talking the time to review! :)

Yay! I was hoping we'd see you back around here soon!

Okay, I really love the note about Pam telling Jim she'll take care of him right after he's promised his mother he'll take care of her. Very sweet, very modern for the time period that he reacts well to that, and very JAM.

I thought the note about Pam's fascination with air travel was a nice period touch - a girl from the sticks of Texas would have still thought of this as a pretty novel experience at this moment, I think.

THE AIRPLANE CONFESSIONAL. THE PROPOSAL. THE AWKWARDNESS AFTERWARDS. "The phone calls, and stolen kisses, and holding hands - that’s how she should be keeping things. Fun. Light. While they…investigate her ex-fiancĂ© for potential murder." I'm a little short on words, but it was squee-worthy.

As always, I love what you're doing with Dwangela and their insatiable horndoggery. (Dwight is also absolutely the guy droning on about famous airplane crashes in an airport. And I'm glad Toby found some happiness, at least in this iteration of Toby - him meeting someone on the bus to ziplining is a nice touch. Plus it's useful for narrative purposes that Jim has someone more neutral to confide in.

How are the job applications going?

Author's Response:

Ah, thanks very much! And yeah, I'd like to think that even 1960s Jim would be on board / secure enough with the idea of Pam taking care of him? I did want the air travel as a sort of way of broadening Pam's horizons, so glad you liked it! And the awkwardness after the airplane confessional lol, I think I'm a fan of a conveniently-timed near-death (but not actually) experience helping nudge them along a bit.

 I mean, I do also feel like Pam's not a million miles off and Angela's response to stress is horndoggery. And I still really don't understand why some people think airports are the perfect time to start talking about crashes, but...yeah, Dwight does feel like that guy. Glad you liked the Toby too, I wanted to give him a happy ending for once!

And thanks! Job applications are now mercifully over (we're meant to rotate every couple of years, which is all great until you have to do applications/interviews every couple of years). Thanks so much for reviewing!

You have no idea how happy I am that this was updated. Everything is right in the world again.
The plane ride was starting to scare *me.* I really wasnt sure for a second if they were gonna crash or not. But Pam distracting Jim was the cutest thing ever. I cant wait for that almost proposal to turn into a real one, and I sincerely hope that Jim will be able to explore Pam like he wants to. Amazing chapter. Good luck with the job hunt!

Author's Response:

Ah, thank you so much! And sorry for the delay lol, am very glad there's still interest in this though! The next chapter hopefully shouldn't take quite so long... 

And eek no, I could never actually let anything happen to them. (Although actually I'd definitely read a fic about Jim and Pam in a Lost-style situation). It was fun writing her distracting/comforting him for a change though, so really please you enjoyed that!  And thanks very much on the job hunt :)

Glad to see an update for this one. I was starting to wonder about it to be honest.

Kind of a filler chapter to get us to Costa Rica but filled with all sorts of tension between Jim and Pam. Though a better kind of tension that's for sure. Glad they can at least admit to themselves they love the other one. Hopefully a declaration out load won't be to far off. Especially with what Jim was saying there on the plane and the fact they keep getting mid-ID's as a married couple.

Dwight and Angela sneaking off continues the great nods to canon. I can very easily see Dwight going off about airplane crashes statistics like that. Once he gets going it's usually kind of hard for him to stop.

Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much! And yes, sorry: am hoping to get the next chapter up without quite such a long break :D But I sort of wanted to give Jim and Pam a break in between all of the multiple revelations, lol. A declaration shouldn't be *too* far off, though... 

I could 100% see Dwight being that guy with the airplane statistics too, glad you enjoyed that! Thanks so much for reviewing :)

Good to see you back! I liked this chapter a lot. It’s so easy for me to imagine Pam being comforting to Jim, and I’m glad you incorporated that with the whole plane situation.

It’s sweet to see that Jim, in his heart of hearts, does want to marry Pam. And I’m not surprised that she’s a little nervous that he said that - it’s a big step, especially since Danny still thinks they’re engaged - but I hope she’ll come to realize the same.

Anyways, it’s great to see you back. Good luck with your applications!

You're baaaaaaaack!!

I've missed this story so much! And it was well worth the wait. I adore the way Pam distracted Jim on the plane and how he let it slip that he definitely wanted to marry her. Ughhhh so good.

I love the nod to the Costa Rican honeymoon too! And I love the last paragraph. And I really love this Jim and Pam so much and I'm excited to see what happens next!

(Good luck with the job applications!)

Author's Response: Thanks so much! (And very sorry for the delay lol, I'm really glad you enjoyed this chapter though!) I think Jim/Pam accidentally letting thing slip is becoming one of my favourite things. I am definitely aiming not to take so long with the next chapter though, am now blissfully free of the job applications. And thanks very much!

Ugh. How do you make each chapter better than the last?? Like every time I think "certainly it can't get better than this" and then it does and I'm forever grateful but also how do you do it?? Their moment in the hallway just about killed me and I'll be rereading that part forever, so thank you. I cannot wait for the plane ride and for her to hold his hand super tight and for them to eventually say I love you to each other. Cannot wait.

Author's Response: Ahaha thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the moment in the hallway too (although I think I'm losing count of the number of times I've interrupted them/stopped them from going any further in this fic...) Thanks very much for reviewing!

I think it's 100% in Robert's wheelhouse that he'd send Frank after Pam. There's a loose thread in his (Robert's) orginization and no one he'd been expecting either. Makes sense he'd try to send in the muscle. However now he's up aginst Jim and Pam.

When Jim and Pam get together it's rare that anyone can really stop them. Case in point here. Jim leading off Frank, Pam slowing him down with Dwight, (and a great call back to canon to boot) and now they're off somewhere I doubt Robert is expecting. The only thing I could see is that with Jim and Pam and co. out of the country it could give Robert time to cover his tracks. Remains to be seen. But enough about Robert.

Bit movement from Pam. Taking off the ring for the last time! YES!! All the yes! No better sign to pretty boy Danny that she's not going to dance to his tune anymore. Even better she and Jim can't seem to keep themselves away from each other. Even when they have to, they both want to get back to being next to the other one. Love, love, love that.

So, what will we find abroad? Really looking forward to finding out.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much! And yeah, I do love a Jim and Pam team-up (and the occasional Pam and Dwight team-up), so really glad you enjoyed that! I felt like it was time on the ring, haha. Although, with the size of the diamond that I'm imagining in my head, I personally would have followed Dwight's advice on selling it and not just left it in the house. But symbolic gestures etc. And yes - it's nice being able to write a Jim and Pam that at least aren't hiding their feelings from each other. 

Thanks so much for reviewing! :)

As always, this was very well-paced, and the action sequences were tense. I kinda needed the breather afterwards. I love this use of Karen and this moment to bring her back, to - take that, Karen from "It would've been you." Her striking the balance of kindness and support to the Beeslys and continued rivalry with the Austin reporters is on point.

For the record, while I understand the concern (and enjoyed the solution), I say let Dwight at Frank. I bet he could incapacitate him real good. And reusing Dwight and Pam trashing Frank's car was greatly apprecited.

So many sweet moments with Jim and Pam here. The kiss on the bus, the kitchen scene... you've just given them a great vibe here. They're quite adorable.

Hey, not only is Karen back, you've managed to find a way to work Toby back into the story too! Fun! There's a lot of great use of character development and plot seeding here, including Jim's fear of heights looming... and the idea that plane travel is a novelty is very time period-appropriate.

Speaking of the 60s... did you sneak a freakin' Grassroots reference in here???

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! That is actually great to hear on the action sequences/breather - I found it weirdly hard to get back into the pacing for this chapter, it felt a bit jarring. I think I've come to the conclusion that I can't write extended action scenes, lol. And yes hehe, I am trying to make up for the Karen character assassination.

So I sort of wasn't sure what Dwight's actual fighting skills would be like without the pepper spray or nun-chucks (/didn't want him to get done for battery or accidental murder by going too far with Frank). But yeah, I would probs watch a Frank and Dwight show-down otherwise. 

And haha, I'm really pleased you noticed - it is a Grassroots reference!  (Except...the ring is now off her hand, geddit). So confession time is nigh 😏 There *might* be a couple of references to a slightly less niche 60s band in there too.

Am I dead? Yep, I'm dead. The suspense of this chapter was too much to bear, but oh my gosh, I'm so happy that Pam left this place unharmed and safe! Thank you so much for that!!
I'm sorry, I probably can't write a proper review right now (my hands are still shaking!), but I want you to know that I love this story (you're such a wordsmith!) and anticipate the next chapter greatly!

Author's Response: Ahaha - thank you so much! That's really kind of you to say :) And sorry for the delay in updates, next chapter is coming - really glad you're enjoying it!

That was stressful.

I could almost taste the tension in the room between Robert, Pam, and Danny. Everything about Robert disgusts me; the fact that he clearly has some obsession with Pam, was trying to get her drunk to tell the truth, and when that didn’t work, manipulate her using her family? What a dick.

It’s definitely unnerving that Danny hadn’t wanted her there from the start, but I don’t believe that it’s because he wanted to spare her from a stressful situation. Why would he care if she said something? Would it look bad if he’s married to a liar?

I’m also slightly concerned about Angela now. What does her father in Panama have to do with Robert? Why are the Californias spying on him?

It was cute to see how protective of Pam Jim was, which was a stark contrast to Danny. Jim is actually relieved to see her and the feeling is mutual, but Danny is probably more worried about saving his own skin.

I feel a climactic chapter coming soon. There’s always a storm before the rainbow, I suppose.

BlindManCassidy

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! And sorry for a stressful chapter and then a bit of a cliffhanger lol - but the next chapter is on it's way :) Yeah, I found Robert pretty disgusting on the show, so I may have just turned it up a bit here. 

And I will say on Danny: I wanted to make his intentions a bit more ambiguous than Robert's. But you're definitely seeing him through Pam's eyes here, where she now doesn't trust a single thing that he does. His motivations will be revealed though - and so will what's happening with Angela's father and Panama...  

Thanks so much, as ever, for reviewing!

Well. That definitely took a turn. This was... tense. Even with the warning that enough bad stuff had happened to Pam, definitely a stressful chapter here. You walked the wire well.

The fact that Danny starts off *really* not wanting Pam there is alarming... and the fact that Danny clearly doesn't know what Robert was actually planning is even worse. Never a good sign when a bad guy is nervous about what another bad guy might do. And the twist that Robert's intentions are actually way more dangerous was really well handled, as Danny's genuine concern afterwards... deeply aggravating as Pam notes, and also deeply alarming.

But okay. ANGELA'S FATHER. PANAMA. IS THIS GONNA BE A WHOLE ANGELA ARC OF COMING TO GRIPS WITH A GOOD MAN IN HER LIFE NOT BEING GOOD JUST AS SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER GOOD MAN, OR A PARALLEL STORY WITH ROBERT TAKING BOTH OF THEIR FATHERS AWAY? I am looking forward to finding out.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much! That's really great to hear on the tension - I sort of didn't want it to descend into melodrama too quickly, lol. But writing Robert as a genuine bad guy is quite fun. And hehe - you have actually hit the nail on the head for the two options I was considering for Angela's storyline when I first started writing this. But I have decided which one it will be... 

Thanks so much for reviewing! :)

Kinda figured Gabe would say something. Simpering little toady that he is, I'll bet Gabe thinks this is his chance to make somthing of himself, show his boss his potential and all that stuff. Robert really comes off as creepy here. Just leaning in like that, expecting and demanding for Pam to break. Thing is, had all this happended without Jim back in her life, she probably would have. However also without Jim back in her life she would have never found any of this out. She's still be in her guilded cage and only vaguely aware of how much she hates it.

Looks like all this has finally broken through the vaneer of control Danny's been putting up. He knows something's afoot, but for once he can't charm his way out of it and I get the sense he's feeling rattled. Good, the jerk deserves it.

Loved Jim's concern for her. His timing with the doorbell seems just in the nick of time too. I once said good on Jim for not being the white knight to solve Pam's problems for her. However in this case it's good he was there. She was in a little over her head so him being able to pull her out of that situation felt like a relief.

Glad they can have a quick moment to re-connect once she's away from the house. So what exactly did they find? Looking forward to finding out.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! And sorry for a bit of a gap in updates - yeah, simpering little toady is a very good description for Gabe haha. I did just find Robert pretty creepy on the show, although I've probably made him worse here...and yes, I think the thing is, Pam would probably never have been in a situation where she was confronted by Robert if she hadn't found any of this out.

I'm with you on the white knight complex lol - but yeah, I also couldn't see a situation where Pam was potentially in danger and Jim just sat around.

And more will be revealed on Panama/Angela's father...

So you wrote this... while moving. Your talent is ridiculous. Congrats on the move!

I love Pam's growing anger at Danny - much like in canon, it's not so much that she didn't have a problem with how she was being treated, but until Jim was in her life it just didn't really CLICK somehow. You also did well balancing Pam's growing feelings for Jim and her horror and anger at the deeply situation she's stuck in here. The images from her dream were vivid, and the detail of her insisting on him picking her up on the porch is great.

"It’s impossible not feel lighter, warmer, just when he walks into the room." #ISeeWhatYouDidThere

Robert's smirk... I feel like the fact that it didn't actually happen and that, you know, they murdered people and falsely imprisoned her father overshadows it a bit... but really, the fact that they essentially pimped Pam out to get good press for themselves is deeply creepy and also deserves payback.

Let's see... the parallels in Dwangela and Jam are great, and Dwight being uber-prepared and fully ready to save their bacon with his article is exactly what makes Dwight a fun character. The calls are lovely and very in-voice... as is Dwight's article! Ha! Great references there.

That cliffhanger is deeply ominous. Please update fast, I am worried about Pam. And maybe a little Dwight, who seems like the guy who ends up actually having to do the physical side of any rescue.

Author's Response:

Weeell, moving / writing to procrastinate and avoid unpacking the numerous boxes that I need to tackle. I am deeply, deeply talented at procrastination. But thanks very much! :D 

And yes! I always liked the concept in canon of Jim just helping her realise what she already knew. 

And heh, I actually realised as I was writing that that he’d technically walked into a garden. Not a room. But ah well...

Yeah, I think on the sliding scale of terrible things they’ve done to Pam, Danny probably ranks that one pretty low down as he thinks she’s getting something out of Jim. But very creepy. 

Glad you enjoyed the Dwight and Dwangela!  

And the next chapter is up, but: if it’s any comfort, I sort of feel like I’ve had enough awful things happen to Pam in this story already... 

Thanks so much for the review!

Once again, you left me speechless and craving for more. I love this aura of bittersweetness and long night phone calls and Pam's boldness at the party. The idea of Dwight writing the article for Jim is fantastic (could we bug you to write the said article as a postscript to this story? please?), and it's touching to witness Dwight's connection with Angela (too soon to speak about love? I don't think so).
And, of course, the ending. Honestly, I'm disgusted with Danny and his boss so much that I can't even think of what punishment would be enough to remedy everything they've done and mean to do. And I do want Pam and Jim to be a part of this... or, at least, to be a pebble that causes an avalanche.
Thank you so much for your frequent and excellent updates! And good luck with moving house and the rest :)

Author's Response: Ah, thank you so much! That’s really lovely of you to say :) hahaha I am not sure I’d be able to match Dwight’s dizzying heights/writing ability...but I will think about it. It would probably be quite fun to write. I do love some Dwangela 😍 Pam and Jim will have a role to play in the avalanche...

This chapter was quite a bit calmer than the rest, which I can actually appreciate. There's been quite a bit of turmoil lately and a smooth filler chapter is the perfect way to offset it.

I think that’s it definitely important to flush out both the Angela/Dwight and Jim/Pam relationships, especially the latter. Although Angela and Dwight are entertaining - and god, they seem to be sleeping together every time they get a chance - Jim and Pam’s relationship is the focus of this story. I feel happy for Pam that she’s finally got someone who’s willing to drop everything just to call her, even if it’s just about a nightmare. After all, we can see now just how miserable she was about her engagement, even if she hadn’t recognized it herself.

It’s pretty clear that tempers are beginning to rise. Angela’s snappiness with Robert seems like it’s about to hit a peak, especially since Dwight is also upset with him.

I am a little confused about the conversation between Jim and Danny at the end. Was Danny upset about the article? Did Dwight write him out to be awful? And why would he want to keep Pam away from Robert?

Anyways, I hope all went well with moving. I hope you like your new home better than Pam likes hers.

BlindManCassidy

Author's Response: Thanks so much! And yeah, I did feel like they needed a bit of a break after all the drama lol. I’m really glad you enjoyed the Dwight/Angela and Jim/Pam - but yes, it was always going to focus on them more (much as I do also love Dwangela). 


So, the convo at the end: Dwight didn’t write bad stuff about Danny, he wrote what he thought was good stuff (but in a Dwight way, so slightly weird...which Danny noticed). And Danny’s reasons on wanting to keep Pam away from Robert will be revealed 😏
 
Haha, thanks very much! I’ve got no terrace, but also no awful fiancé, so...

Feels like a bit of a filler chapter this time around. Nothing wrong with that as it does bring in some interesting points. Pam is seeing her world through a much different set of eyes. She knows Danny doesn't know much about her, but she's also realizing she doesn't know much about him. That she'd kind of blindly jumped into an engagement based solely on the fact Danny was there after things went bad and he was handsome and charming. Now that she's had a taste of what it can be like with Jim, yeah no wonder she wants nothing to do with that anymore. Let alone the fact Danny and Robert have torn down her childhood home, and may have left her father to rot in jail and be responsible for the deaths of men in her hometown. Glad she's finally gotten the perspective she needed.

Both Jim and Pam's thoughts about the other one are lovely. Same goes for their nightly phone calls. Good way to keep in touch with each other. I am glad they were able to get at least one stolen moment with each other.

Kinda feels like next chapter things will ramp up a bit what with dinner and all. Also feels like Danny is putting on more of a show than we may realize. Should be very interesting to see where we go from here.

Also nice bits of canon put in here and there. Pam's typing speed, Dwight and Angela sneaking away, great way to add those elements in too.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much! And yes haha, I was actually planning to get into the drama in this chapter but then realised it was getting a bit long...whoops. But yeah, I did want a moment for Pam to be able to appreciate seeing things differently! I’m really glad you enjoyed their phone calls :) and things will be ramping up... 

Thanks so much for your feedback!
