Hurray for Katy and Pam! I’m so glad you brought her back, and now have her as an actual friend to Pam: this is what we missed out on on the show. I also love this look into shrewd business Katy, and the idea that Pam can actually learn from her. (And this line just feels very Katy: “Cheer camp.” Katy winked. “The only thing more important than church on Sundays was football on Fridays”). Michael misinterpreting Pam and doubling his offer before she even asks is also brilliantly Michael. And aww with the Jim text at the end. Great update!
Author's Response: Thank you! Pam deserves friends! And honestly, so does Katy...not enough friendship in the Office, I sometimes think, especially for women.

Ah, I love this. A Katy/Pam friendship chapter! And nice to have Pam have someone giving her a push with some perspective on what it's like to work as an independent operator - she doesn't have that much in canon.
Author's Response: Thank you! Pam deserves friends! Especially ones who support her professionally!

Fun to see Katy and Pam like this. I could easily see how the two of them could form a nice friendship. Sadly events in canon precluded that, but thus we have AU. Katy telling Pam to not sell herself short is wonderful. Nice that Pam has more than just Jim in her corner when it comes to these kinds of things.
And in the end Michael doubles his offer. How very Michael of Michael. You know Pam there's a saying about looking gift horses in mouths. Seems like she needed that pounded into her head a bit.
Always a pleasure getting an update from you and this story.
Author's Response: Thank you! I feel like the Pam & Katy friendship would have been really nice if canon had gone that way. But...what can you do. Thanks for reading!
