Been looking forward to this one. Great look into Jim here. That even Cupid feels that Jim and Pam are perfect for each other says a lot. It's true they had a long road to get together, and I'm frankly impressed that Cupid stayed out of the way as much as he did.
You really get a feel for how long Jim was pining for her and how devastating Casino Night was to him. That Cupid saw he had an iron cage around his heart was a challenge to be sure. However, they did get there.
I also liked how Cupid kept an eye on them after they got together. And he reminded them of what was really important that day in the parking lot.
I would give this one a jellybean, but I only have one left to give and I've been saving it for the last chapter. So consider this jellybean'ed from me.

The way that this broke my heart and made it grow three sizes repeatedly should be a crime. But I love it so so so much. You captured jim’s feelings so perfectly and made absolute complete sense of why pam did some of the things she did. “Sorry sweetie, persuasion is my job” is one of my fave lines ever. But also “she wasnt pam” broke my heart and you used it TWICE. Ugh. I love you.

First, I'm glad to see my exact headcanon about Jim's romantic past reflected here.
Second, that Jim and Pam were sparrow-free, essentially their own creation just naturally drawn together by being THEM was a really nice touch.
Third, "the heart can be merciless." So you can you, WW. So can you.
Fourth, "I can't feel physical pain, but if I could...oof." Me too, Cupid. Me too.
Fifth, Katy being a semi-deliberate plan of Cupid's? Love it.
Sixth, "you can't completely bisect a cord that's as tightly woven as the one the two of them had crafted." EEEP.
Seventh, "How she didn't realize his feelings right then and there will forever baffle me." Me too, Cupid. Me too.
Eighth, "He wouldn't have to pretend he liked jelly beans"? TWIST.
Ninth: CASINO NIGHT WAS CUPID'S FAULT?
Tenth: "You can imagine that when working alongside the all-powerful, you don't really want to piss anyone off." Too. True.
Eleventh: "I had never wished that I could go get a beer with someone more than I did in that moment." OW.
Twelfth, while it would be nice to be able to lay Karen off on Cupid, glad to see he learned his lesson.
Thirteenth, I love this take on The Job.
Fourteenth, the umbrella being a sparrow makes SO MUCH SENSE.
Fifteenth, heart eyes.

Loved this chapter!
“ It was basically a sparrow with a broken wing” - AMAZING
