Interesting twist for Casino Night. A different Pam and a different Jim. Pam is being more bold and Jim is more understanding that he’s putting a lot on her.
Good start let see what happens next!

WW, in short I love this. I’ve read many-a post-Casino Night but you still made it feel new and interesting and fresh. I’m so here for a Jim that is aware what a bomb he dropped on Pam and wants to give her time, as well as a Pam who knows (almost) right away what she wants and goes for it.
And this line, “She's been with Roy so long that he's woven into so many of her life's tapestries and she's not sure how she's possibly going to shred them and remain intact herself.” What a beautiful way to incorporate the song lyric and create an apt metaphor. Looking forward to the next chapter!

"What strikes her most, however, is that this isn't a new look. Jim has always looked at her this way. It's only now that she recognizes it for what it actually is."
This is so good.
Wow, this is so the way it should have happened. Excited to read more!

I loved how this was set up so far. I love reading people's ideas of alternative endings to Casino Night. Looking forward to future chapters!

So that's a different take on post Casino Night to be sure. Pam is more sure of herself, Jim is more understanding of the situation he put her in. I mean I like it don't get me wrong. However we're also face-to-face with the fallout of her decision. Especially telling Roy like that. However I do applaud her courage. She's got some fire to her and despite everything it feels like she's not going to let it go out. Bravo Pam! Well done.
I do also see the potential for more trouble ahead. If she's going to jump right into something with Jim so quickly. I mean unless she and Jim really try to hide the fact that they're together now, it's going to be all but impossible to hide said fact from Roy or anyone else at Dunder-Mifflin.
The fact we also get an insight to the Anderson clan was also really good. An angle we never got in the show, but it must have been there. Nice job on that.
Really looking forward to seeing where we go from here.

Oh man. I adore this. We often get everything that Pam is leaving behind by leaving Roy acknowledged as a fact, but having her be confronted by it literally the day after Casino Night is intense. Pam's musings about how all these people who have been part of the foundation of her life are about to be brutally cut off forever is painful to read, poor girl. It does a fun thing for an AU - offering a pretty solid explanation of why things went the other way. The teapot gifts pushing her to be with Jim sooner? Jim's supportive texts end up pushing her to go faster with the break-up? Heart eyes. Although, yikes, Pam - that's a solid parallel to Jim's breakup with Katy.
"She doesn’t know if she wanted to be that close to him right now." Ouch. Poor Roy. I mean, he had it coming, but still.
