Hi, finally all caught up with this and it was truly one of the most lovely things I’ve read. I love how you captured each of them so well through this third party observer/sometimes gentle push giver and it really painted all of these familiar characters in a new light that I just adored. I loved every second! Perfection, each chapter.

Cupid,
All of this was just so clever and funny and entertaining. Very interesting to see when and why you meddled, when you let nature take it course and when sometimes your sparrows got misdirected (yikes Toby's sparrow hitting Roy almost resulted in disaster).
The whole bit with the building/parking lot got me in the feels.
The voice throughout this fic was so well done. And to end in with Beauty in the ordinary ...LOVE!

Girl, you killed this. A triumph.
*(That half-smile has been my best friend when sending sparrows to women about Jim. He's quite a handsome fella.) *
Yes, yes he is.
*I am fond of a fair amount of people I encounter. Really admire and like them. But every once in a while I come across someone really special. Like Betty White.
But this isn't about Betty White. This is about Pamela Morgan Beesly. One of my very favorites. *
Isn’t she all of ours? *heart eyes*
*Man, I wanted to send so many sparrows. Freakin' moral compass or whatever…*
HA! Loved this.
*It took Jim leaving to really cause Pam to dissect her relationship with Roy. Had she ever been happy with him? I think the answer was definitely yes, but it was as if there was a finite amount of happiness she could have with him and she had reached that limit long ago. Now she needed more.*
This is such a perfect assessment of post-breakup Pam, realizing everything she’s missed out on.
*It was a painting of the building she worked in. It was the place she found herself. Her hand ran over the painted parking lot. It was the place she met Jim. The place where she lost him. Twice. It would always be more than a building for her.*
We share this headcanon. To me, it was always about that parking lot.
*They really should name that parking lot after them.*
See above.
Fantastic job, WW.

*Because as far as she knew, she had been in love since she was 15 and it felt nothing like this.*
I can't really talk about my reaction to angst without sounding like an awful person. Just know that this line is brilliant, and you crushed this fic. As always.

I love that Cupid loves the ordinary beauty that Pam possesses. Really liked the way you brought us through her romantic life. That Roy was just kind of a thing that happened and it just didn't stop till one fateful Casino Night. Through the angst of S3 and then the joy of everything up till S9. Then once more in that parking lot she is reminded of everything in the best way. Loved it. Great way to wrap this one all up.

“Because as far as she knew, she had been in love since she was 15 and it felt nothing like this.”
Ugh. I will forever and always love this story. You were able to tell everyone’s stories through an outsider’s eye in such a creative and genuine way. I love that Pam is one of Cupid’s favorites. I love that Roy and Pam wasnt Cupid’s doing. I love how big of a Jam fan Cupid is. I love it all.
Next year we get a full Cupid story just about Mose, right?

"But every once in a while I come across someone really special. Like Betty White." AWWWWWW. Also, sadface. Also, *Creed quote*.
Ooooof. Roy literally not knowing who she was when they met stings. But I think this meeting makes a lot of sense - they're able to see each other differently when they're in a different context.
As noted, Pam just kind of drifting into things with Roy without really noticing makes a lot of sense to me. And another ouch with Pam literally giving up art school for Roy. I know it all ends well, but jeez.
"Man, I wanted to send so many sparrows. Freakin' moral compass or whatever…" HA.
This is *also* I think a quite accurate tour through the psyche of Pam Beesly in her denial era.
ROY. GETTING. TOBY'S. SPARROW. Toby gets zero breaks. Ever.
"(Platonically, of course. I'm not into mortals.)" LOL.
"They really should name that parking lot after them." SO. TRUE. Get on it, Dwight.
IN CONCLUSION: I'm really glad you decided to take this on. A very worthy experiment in style and voice, and a very entertaining trip both through Dunder Mifflin history and through a new take on Cupid. Well done!!!
