You can make this story go on as looooong as you like… I love living vicariously through this gorgeous, sexy, expensively high end JAM AU! I LOVED Jim’s birthday gift from Pam— so sweet and thoughtful— and loved that he hung it straight away!
And I loved that Pam actually cooked for Jim—totally counts, she doesn’t even need to hide the jar of pasta sauce! I’m not sure what I’m excited for next— the I love yous or their realization of their impending “creation”— but no, it’s definitely not too early to say it, JAM! Clearly they are smitten with each other— even when one or the other is asleep on the couch.
I’d love a triple date with JAM, Dwangela, and KRyan. Speaking of, twins?!?! Oh what an adventure!
Can’t wait for more… aside from their romance, they would make a lovely creative team professionally! Fantastic work as always!
Author's Response:
Haha I hope you still feel that way in like 25 chapter’s time 🤣🤣 but I love that you love it and I love living their life so much, my search history is hilarious trawling through all the elements that make up their life!
Glad you liked the cooking there! I got the idea from your last comment, so thank you! I’ve already got some more Pam not cooking cooking planned for in the future! Any other ideas, please do send them on over!!
Thanks so much for the review and the jelly!!

This kind of content is what fanfiction was made for. I’m a little sad that the pool scene got cut short (c’mon, Pam!) but I loved it regardless. Jim takes such good care of Pam and I love every second of it.
Author's Response:
Oh thank you 🥹 that’s really made my day!
Sorry about the pool scene, but it was smut with a purpose (wow I’m not sure that happens much!!) and it was needed!
Thanks so much for the review and jelly!

Cathy is a complete psycho!
Karen(and Kelly)is just sad and desperate.
However, it does seem that Jim isn’t blind to what Cathy is trying to do. He probably has had other women throw themselves at him.
Angela is a good match for Dwight because
they are both socially awkward.
I’m getting the feeling that yes there will be another Ordinary Things baby. Please update soon!
Author's Response:
Yup Cathy is crazy and Jim can deffo see something is going on, just like in canon! Eugh that woman!
Next chapter is already in the works, don’t worry!
Thanks for the review!

Okay finally catching up with this one, and lots going on! First of all, Karen is crazy. Cathy is crazy. But I guess that's to be expected.
Holly and David... are they a couple? Did I miss something? Where is Michael? THIS MAKES ME SAD
"The room expects sex..." amazing. and yes, totally from Friends, don't lie, Jim.
*Jim just stared at her. "Wow," was all he could say. I love you, was all he could think*
awwwwwww
*"I promise you," he said between kisses, "no one is coming up here." *
EXCEPT THEM, you mean? *ba dum tss*
Pam with the kids on halloween was a cute reference to canon. They keep falling asleep on each other, don't they? XD
Excited for Jim to finally say the L word...
Author's Response:
Oh! Ok so maybe I should go back and tweak the Holly and David bit - it made sense in my head with my list of characters in front of me 🤣 but no, David is very much married to Rachel. Holly is HR at Athleap! And don’t you worry, Michael hadn’t been forgotten. Don’t be sad, it’s gonna be worth it 😬
Omg, EXCEPT THEM phahahahha that has made me laugh so much for the review and jelly!
Thanks so much

Uh oh. Someone's in trooooooooouble.
Don't worry, Pam. Kevin's just Like That. Or possibly he knows. He has a sense for these things.
Oh, Karen. Honey. He's just not that into you. There's a whole movie about this. You 100% had that blow coming.
As did you, Tom and Pete. Although your wives didn't.
EEEP. THANKSGIVING. YOU CRAZY KIDS ARE MOVING ALONG AT PACE. Which is maybe for the best, all things considered...

Haha yes! That movie could literally be written about Karen
The wives will get over it, Jim’ll do something nice for them don’t worry
Maybe for the best indeed!!

Ah, you're really bringing the steam in this chapter. "You said I should eat." JAMES DUNCAN HALPERT. Lol. They're really stretching their boundaries here. I was on the edge of my seat to see if they were going to get caught.
VERY interested in hearing more of the Roy backstory. And YIKES. Karen, get it together lady.

Woohoo! I cannot wait for a Crazy Cathy chapter. She needs the love (hate) and attention that she deserves
Pranky, drunk Jim who’s too tired to have sex is so fun to read. That Jimmy Choo joke was hilarious.
And Karen just happened to be in the same place as Jim’s birthday party? That’s pretty sketchy. Yay for Pam being a complete badass bitch to her.
Can’t wait for more!
Author's Response:
So glad you liked the Jimmy Choo joke, it was right there so I felt I had to do something with it 🤣 I’m glad you liked drunk Jim, he was fun to write
Cathy will be returning soon, don’t you worry!
Chapter 10 is on its way, don’t worry! Thanks so much for the review!!
Date: June 03, 2022 07:27 pm Title: The First Month Part Five
It’s nice to see that Jim is comfortable in his relationship with Pam to let her see the silly prank
side of his personality. I do think Karen is a bit delusional to think that she has something real going on with Jim, even if she’s thinking it’s an on/off thing.
It’s kind of like how Kelly was with Ryan.
I am surprised though that Karen didn’t cause any drama when Pam told her that she is actually Jim’s girlfriend, and that Karen wasn’t invited to Jim’s party. I have to say that you do have my attention when you said that Pam’s boobs were bigger right now. 🤔 please update soon!
Author's Response:
Yup Karen is definitely delusional, but I always thought she was in canon to think she could force the relationship to work. Very Kelly and Ryan you’re right!
I didn’t want any drama ruining this night, and in canon Karen didn’t cause any drama when Pam finally let her feelings out. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be some coming :)
There will definitely be an update, and I’m sure Pam’s boobs will feature too 🤣
Date: June 03, 2022 05:40 pm Title: The First Month Part Five
So, a few hints of something else going on with Pam there. Clothes not fitting right and so on. Perhaps something else happened that first night. Remains to be seen for sure.
Really liked that Pam put Karen in her place. Just coolly ignored her until she got to reveal not only was she invited to Jim's private party, but she's also his girlfriend, and won the pitch. Basically everything that Karen wants, Pam now has. There's probably going to be some drama there for sure, but as Pam gets more confident, I've no doubt she'll come out on top.
Jim transitioning to Jimmy as he gets more and more drunk was a lot of fun. And he starts targeting his brothers, who let's face it, deserved it. His sister-in-laws kinda got caught in the crossfire though. I don't blame them for chewing him out a bit. Otherwise, a very fun chapter for sure. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
Perhaps something did ;)
I hope the Pam/Karen interaction fell a little true to canon in that Pam is so reserved in herself until she finally says what she does after Beach Games.
Glad you liked the fun of this chapter, I liked imagining drunk Jim here! But yeah, the poor SiLs!
Thanks as ever for the review!

Oh my gosh! I just adore this story! It’s so much fun and so interactive with the pictures! It’s almost like I can see this like it was filmed! I’m an OR nurse and just got off of a long ass 12 hour shift with a zillion cases and no break since lunch—what a treat to open this at the end and be transported to this sexy, funny, posh, sweet world of CEO JAM! I love Jim’s playfulness, and think the ‘I love yous’ are coming soon! Is it just me, or are there little hints of a knocked up Pam? Mostly, I loved her confidence in this chapter. How can you not when Jim so clearly demonstrates his love and adoration for you in front
of his friends and family!? Will we ever know what Jim’s bday gift from Pam was? Incredible work!
Author's Response:
Oh thank you so much! I love how much you love this, it makes me so happy!! So glad I could help with something to unwind with at the end of a huge shift too!
There very well could be some hints, you’ll just have to wait and see :)
I’m sure we’ll find out what the present was soon enough, don’t you worry

These two are just magic together… and I love that they are sharing their souls with each other… this time on Jim’s part. I love the reveal of Pam’s secret too. Can’t wait to see her birthday present and their “drinks thing” where Pam meets Jim’s people…. I also adore the details and live for the end of the chapter pics! So fun to have that visual! Do either of them ever cook?!?!? Please post soon! Great AU! And mention in OL!!!!

I love that you love them :) Jim'll be finding out about Pam's secret soon, don't worry! His birthday party is up next, so that should be fun haha! And no, I don't think they do cook. Apart from Jim's grilled cheese!

I love Jim's birthday fics because he never really celebrated his birthday in canon.
I love that you added that Jim still has to work out after days of interrupted mornings. Although, I'm sure he's still getting a lot of cardio (lol)
Pam doing the lingerie hidden in a trenchcoat bit then trying to talk herself out of it before finally going through with it is insanely funny. And of course, not so sneaky office sex. To be young and in love. Kevin will know for sure, right?
Oof, the Katy drama. Although, I'm on her side her to be perfectly honest. I would get why Jim would look so sketchy here. But at least he's honest with Pam so hopefully no amount of Karen (or Cathy) will get in between them.
Author's Response:
Yeah you’re very right about that! I kinda feel I have free reign here with it!
Glad you liked the trench coat bit 🤣 I’m sure Kevin knew really what they were up to. He does hear everything!!
Hopefully Karen won’t cause too many issues, but we shall see!
Thanks so much for the review!

TBH I actually can’t (completely) be mad at
Karen for trashing Jim’s relationship with Katy because that freed him up to be with Pam.
Pam should send Karen a thank you card 😂
I do think Jim was being naive by hanging out with Karen because it allowed Karen to fake a relationship with him. The office sex was hot. However, I’m a little disappointed that Pam isn’t willing to do it in her own office. I would love to see JAM get caught by Cathy
and her absolute jealousy. 😈
Author's Response:
I guess there always was a reason for Karen, she made JAM getting together even sweeter!
Absolutely, Jim was naive hete, but we know season 3 Jim was a bit of a tool. He’s back to his normal wonderful self though, so no need to worry!
Pam had a glass office 🤣🤣 might be a little tricky for them to do it there!! Don’t worry, Cathy will still be storing up lots of trouble for our favourite couple.
Thanks as always for the review!

Ok so, story time. Back when I first met my wife and we were in the getting to know each other phase of things, I mentioned how I'd spent a month studying in Greece while I was in college and had made a scrapbook of my time there. Naturally this cute young lady who would become my wife wanted to see said scrapbook. Not the first time, but one of the next times I was over at her apartment I brought it with me. The next day she texted me saying I had forgotten to grab it on my way out the door so when would I be free to come back and get it? Years later, I'm pretty sure we were engaged at this point, I mentioned to her that I'd let the scrapbook there on purpose. Not that I had any doubts that I'd get an invite back, but it was still a fun prank to play. To this day she'll give me a smirk anytime I bring out that scrapbook. So when I read that Jim, "forgot" his sweatshirt at Pam's apartment, I have this vision of him walking out of the door of her building with that smirk of his on his face. Especially knowing full well how much girlfriends love to steal their boyfriends sweatshirts, hoodies, flannels, or other comfy clothes.
Loved that Pam worked up the courage to be more openly adventurous like that at lunch. You wrote her anxiety about it all really well too. But once they got going, there was no holding them back. Great scene to visualize.
So not only was Katy a cheerleader but a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! Nice way to work in some canon elements there. Then Karen comes in and ruins it. Now Jim wasn't completely blameless. He clearly should have set boundaries with Karen from the off and when it didn't, yeah it bit him. However for Karen to act like that and continue to act like that doesn't speak well for her character. What I do like is that Jim seems to have learned from his mistakes last time. Being upfront with Pam about it all. Trying to set safeguards with this relationship he has with Pam. Shows he's grown and how serious he is already with Pam.
As much as I've gone on about Jim being well off money wise, Pam's not doing to bad for herself either. Between lunch and dinner that's probably around $400-$500 she spend for him. Well done Boss Lady Pam!
Loved the update. Keep 'em coming! TWSS!
Author's Response:
Oh you guys are all the same haha!!
I was a little worried about the whole underwear thing, as I felt it might be a little OOC for Pam to be so open like that, but I felt a good does of internal conflict would help things. So glad it came across ok!!
I'm glad the Karen part came across ok for you, I'm going to add a little explainer into the next chapter notes about her and why she acted as she did, and that it wasn't really too far from canon Karen (should have done that already but I deleted it for some reason!) But yes, Jim was not blameless in the situation, just like in season 3, but he's definitely learnt from his mistakes.
And hell yes! Pam is a Boss too! She may not earn quite as much as Jim, but she's still up there and has quite the nice collection of designer shoes and handbags, plus I would not say no to her apartment! So she can afford to spoil her brand new boyfriend!
Glad you liked this one! Lots more to come (we'll get to the end of this month eventually!!) Thanks as always for the review and jelly!

This was a great chapter. I loved the opening scene with Pam feeling bad she missed midnight and the little joke about Jim's morning energy.
Wow, Pam is ballsy! It was so fun to read her changing in the bathroom and then panicking as she rides the elevator. All for a good cause, of course.
The one thing I would say is that I think Cathy would make more sense as the Katy/Jim relationship wrecker. It's not chronological, but in my opinion, Karen isn't quite evil enough to create all that fake evidence. Loved it all otherwise!
Author's Response:
Hehe thank you!
So with the whole Karen thing, I was actually going to leave an end note about her, but end deleting it. I'll add it to the start of next chapter. I know she comes across as a little crazy and more like Cathy might be, but she's not meant to be crazy as such, just more desperate like she is in canon. i.e. wanting to stay with Jim even though he had feelings for Pam (I NEVER understood why she stayed with him after that revelation), the obvious displays of affection to Jim in front of Pam, the deleted scene of her trying to remove Pam's art flyer. But also, season 3 Jim was awful, using Karen as a shield and distraction from Pam, so similar here in using her that was from missing Katy. Hope that makes her character here a bit more understandable and a bit less OOC than she may have been. Also, just Karen. YUCK.
Thank you for the review and jelly :)

So first off, I'm loving the boost in confidence Pam is getting here. Clearly Jim is bringing out the best in her and it's great to see. Changing her title to CEO is of course a great way to see that. Her banter with Jim about it was also a lot of fun. The other way I see that is that she confronts Cathy about the package. To be clear, yes Pam you can fire her for failure to the package. What if's an important piece of business mail? Part of being the boss means laying down the law from time to time. That deserves a reprimand at the very least. Even more so because Cathy seems to be stealing personal packages which is just as bad. Time to be Boss Lady Pam methinks.
Aww Jim you big softie, getting her the right so soon. I mean you're not wrong, but at the same time yeah, you're gone for her. Nice cameo with the Prince family too. Also like others I'm quite curious to know what happened with the whole Karen/Katy thing. And why David is warning Jim to talk to Pam about it soon lest history repeat itself. Makes one curious.
Lots of fun with the Halpert dinner. His brothers felt very in character as did Betsy and Larissa. Gerald is a little interesting. We don't really get a lot about him from canon, so it leaves an open canvas in fic. Clearly, he's used to putting the pressure on Jim, but at the same time he also cares for his son. Makes for an interesting dynamic for sure.
And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this last part. Does this Gerald also have his own whisky collection back at home? Thus, asking for a bottle of Blue Label? Kind of fun to read that for sure. Great job as always.
Author's Response:
I’m all about Pam getting more confident and owning things. That girl definitely needs empowering!
The whole Karen/Katy thing will be coming out soon…
Im sure we’ll be seeing more of Gerald and his whiskey again. Wonder if he’ll have a bottle of Warrior Liquor hanging about 😬

"No man is ever going to boss me around again. She had a quick flash of Jim very much bossing her around this morning and flushed slightly." LOL.
Love the canon work-ins here (although a bummer that Oscar *still* won't get to do his origami), but special props to Jim for noticing the change in title immediately.
Yes, Pam, you absolutely can fire you front desk person for attempting to steal your package. Get wrecked, Cathy. Also, get wrecked, Ryan. Also, get wrecked, Helene. Pam has a very high percentage of people in her life who are The Worst. Which is such a sharp contrast from Jim, whose people are mostly pretty awesome. Poor Pam.
This is a fun working in of Jim's uber-fast engagement ring purchase... and I'm glad to see the Princes landed on their feet.
Lol at Larisa immediately throwing Jim under the bus. And I like the dynamic between him and his dad, feels worth exploring...

Yeah Pam doesn’t have the best people in her life, but I don’t think she did in canon either (although her first mum was nice)

Okay so Cathy is creepy. Does actually she think that Jim would want to see her in the bra and panties?
I am now dying to know what Karen did to Jim/Katie!
Just like Jim I’m also surprised that his dad hugged him. Jim’s dad came off at being cold and distant towards Jim, which I think adds another layer
to Jim’s personality, and depth. Pam’s mom is annoying.
Pam is right that her mom is projecting her hate towards Pam’s dad onto Jim. I love the ring Jim got for Pam. I hope that Cathy doesn’t get her hands on it.

Yeah I think Cathy is generally crazy in every universe 🤣
All will be revealed with Karen and Katy soon, don’t you worry!
