Whew! Glad Karen’s out the picture. Hmm… Jim found Pam’s last name.

"He was counting Pams." EEEEEP.

This feels like a very good portrayal of the problems that might arise in a Pam-free Jim/Karen relationship... Karen not quite able to accept the parts of Jim that aren't what she wants, Jim going along to get along well beyond their sell-by date. And the slow dissolution of their relationship, the little things suddenly becoming big things, feels very real.

One could almost get the impression that there were a lot of reasons to call off his relationship with Karen... but he didn't care about any of those reasons until he met Pam.

THE SHAKE SHACK TRIP CHANGED EVERYTHING.

Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting the twist at the end of either of the last 2 chapters, so kudos to you on that! Loving the story so far!

You have a way of making us feel we've been watching this relationship disintegrate all along, even though this is our first real look at what's been going on in it.
The little things like the toothpaste cap and refusal to admit fault have a very "lived in" sense to them and had it not been for meeting Pam and the magnifying glass that she seemed to deliver to him while he was counting Pam-sheep, he may have let the issues lie longer. Glad Karen forgot to lock the door and gladder still she once again wouldn't take the blame – felt like a very true breaking point.
And then for Jim to have the aha moment where he remembers the receipt – bravo. Now that he has her name, next chapter please! We got some Roy to get rid of.

Sorry you’ve had a lot to juggle, but lovely to see this chapter up. So satisfying to see Jim finish things with Karen and actually be ready to go after Pam!

omg! Find her, Jim!

Loved this:

*Meeting Pam, whether he liked it or not, had put his relationship with Karen under a magnifying glass. All the flaws and weak spots that he could once ignore or explain away had become glaringly obvious. And he began to worry if that magnifying glass was held there too long, it would only begin burning a hole in the relationship.*

That thing where Karen can’t admit she was wrong about the key, omg I felt that 😆

Thanks for updating!

WW. OUCH. YOU WROTE JIM AND KAREN BREAKING UP 😱

In all seriousness though, I loved this! Their decline as a couple since he returned home was written SO WELL! Sometimes, it just takes one moment or event for someone to realize they aren't happy. I'm glad that Jim started piecing that together about Karen

Oh my gosh! I love this movie and I love Jam and this is kind of amazing!!! (Said in the Kelly Kapoor sing sing fashion! ;)) I think you perfectly captured both the Jam kismet and the Serendipity pull that even though Jim (and Jonathan) should be content with what they have, it’s even more telling that the search for Pam (and Sarah) is making them question everything!!! I’m so glad that Jim has more to go on than just a store charge account! Only thing better would be if Eugene Levy could show up! So glad you’re keeping this going; it’s an excellent, excellent crossover!

Author's Response: I'm so glad someone else has seen this movie!! It's definitely one of my favorites. I know this fic isn't exactly the same but I'm glad you see a little of the spirit of it! I'll see if I can work Eugene Levy in somewhere hahaha

 
Thanks for the review!

A long time coming for this chapter and I'm very glad to have it. Really got me worried at the end of the last chapter and how things would go. Really interesting to see how meeting Pam sparked Jim to really take a hard look at this relationship. If he was really happy in it now and what it meant for the future. So with that perspective he puts it under the microscope and seeing that it's missing a lot. Not just the little things, but the big things. How she treats him and the like. Yeah, kind of a hard band-aid to rip off, but there you go.

And now he knows Pam's last name and seems on a bit of a quest. Is next chapter going to be similar but from Pam's POV? Kinda hoping so. Great to see this on updated for sure.
