"Indulging Dwight all day long while simultaneously poking fun at him is, at this point, an odd form of foreplay for them." That is... spot on. Just nailing them there. I loved the Hays code reference, too.
The vibe here feels very them - half-silly and half-sexy and mainly real and also deeply romantic. I think you really caught the spirit of them well here.
The beds being literally bolted to the floor is funny enough, but Jim knowing Dwight well enough to make sure he has a wrench, just because he has a feeling, makes it art.
It adds a whole new element of comedy to canon that they're literally getting interrupted mid-foreplay every time Dwight and Mose are making a fuss, so thank you for that.
I really liked this versio nof Dwight in the flashback. He's a hard guy to write as a non-comic character in normal interactions, and I think you made it work.
The birds were a great joke and a great image to close on.

I love this fic and how you filled in the missing scenes from these two great eps! I loved the fluffy parts the most.

The playful banter at the start of this one was just so great. I'm with Jim, Pam in her pj's, especially those pj's, super cute and really sexy. Pam staring at Jim like he's a steak she's about to devour was delightful as well. The line that messing with Dwight is foreplay for them was just so perfect.
So there are really two things Jim's paid close attention to over the years. Anything and everything Pam, that goes without saying. And Dwight and what he gets up to. Thus the forsight of needing his own tools.
Flashing back to S3 this time. It's tough, but at the same time it's also kind of sweet. The Dwight/Pam friendship has always been one of those almost underated aspects of both of their characters. You really did well in portaying all of that.
As always your way of going just a bit beyond what we see in canon was great. It all fits perfectly with the scenes we're familiar with. Rather than taking anything away you just add depth that melds perfectly with what we know about them all. Fantastic work with that.
Author's Response: Thanks for the Pam/ Dwight comment especially, I love their dynamic and found it incredibly interesting and fun to write. :)

When I started reading this chapter, I immediately began to wonder what the flashback scene was going to be. I honestly wasn't sure, but I was very curious. And then when I got to it, I actually gasped out loud and immediately messaged a fellow MTT reader to rave about this chapter. (By the way, if you're on Discord, MTT has a server and you should join so that I can rave about you some more. Rapidly moving along so you don't think I'm a weirdo.) I know I say this every time, but the way you set up flashback with present day and fluff with angst is just insane. I'm in awe of every chapter, and this one was no exception.
Author's Response: I think I might have a discord account but I haven't used it in forever... but I'd love to go anywhere people are talking Pam and Jim. If you could direct me to how this works, I'd be much obliged. And thanks for continuing to keep up with the story, I really appreciate you taking the time!
