I like the idea that somehow, in every universe imaginable, Michael Scott manages to burn his foot on a George Foreman grill.
“Fun fact: did you know you can’t brew loose-leaf tea in the coffeemaker like it was coffee grounds? Or that you shouldn’t put an entire order of tea into a single coffeemaker? Michael does. Now.” Joking? or something that actually happened?
Developing their bits and enjoying their games, Pam leaning over Jim's counter as opposed to Jim leaning over Pam's, building their way into each other's routines... I don't know. I just really like this version of them.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Multiverse Michael is always grilled. And I think we should take Jim's statements at less than face value--but that one definitely happened.

I am loving the routine Pam’s fallen into (and the last line about how she’d be happy to keep it up for the rest of her life, which is very sweet and also just so Pam), but yes: I’m also very up for it being disrupted! Her and Jim’s jokes about why they don’t have tea are very cute and funny. And I really like her genuine fondness/sympathy for Michael that goes beyond just Jim: the ‘she’d like him not to hurt himself more than he already has’ line I think just sums up her feelings for him so well. Grenadine and green apple - especially with a milk steamer - also sounds...foul. But those are some very imaginative flavours, lol. And I’m really enjoying the Jim egging her on/her playing along. Basically please just keep writing about them in a coffee shop forever, I love the way you’ve written all of their interactions so much.
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate all of this. The whole concept of a coffeeshop AU to me is that it's pretty expandable, so we'll see how it goes, but it might be pretty long ;)

This is nice. I like how she seems intent that she's doing all these things for her, but underneath there's something, or someone, pulling at her. That being said the fact she doesn't have to get up and cook breakfast ridicu-early in the morning and can enjoy a bit more of a lay in is nice.
Nice touch with bringing in Micheal grilling his foot. Likewise for all the reasons there's still no tea. Nice and banter-y and all sorts of fun. Speaking of banter, a bit of a role reversal here and I'm 100% for it. Pam is coming up to Jim's counter to talk. I wonder how long it'll be till he puts out a jar of her favorite candy.
Nice to see them still getting on great. Always fun to get an update for this one.
Author's Response: Thank you! This is a bit of a slow burn, obviously, but Jim is definitely going to pull out the candy--and maybe even someday some tea--because he likes Pam being there.
