Looks like they have had a super cute day up in the North Pole (New York)! Love it. Look forward to seeing what goes down in the cabin with their kinda new relationship situation.
Author's Response: Thank you! Having a cute fun day was entirely the point. I'm still working out the details, but it should be a lot of fun going on from here.

The two of them being alone in a cabin together sounds very intriguing. I can’t help but wonder
about Roy’s reaction to seeing Pam’s note and ring
she left behind. Will we by chance get a glimpse into
how Roy takes it? 🙏
Please update soon.
Author's Response: I did include a line that said Pam had to wade her way through more angry voicemails from Roy before she called her family, so we'll say Roy initially took it badly. Them being alone in the cabin should be a lot of fun. Glad to hear from you.

What a fun trip to Santa's Village. Never been nor did I even know about it but it sounds like a fun place for kids and for kids at heart (and Jim is a pretty big one of these - strange however how he doesn't like to dress in costumes).
But first - the inner thoughts on the way were well done. Having them share the driving was a smart way to fit that in - plus gotta think that while Roy would want to drive the whole way to anywhere they went -he would make Pam stay up with him - right?
Always enjoy a good prank and the gnome traveling with a kidnapped bobblehead is a good one. Also enjoyed the real versus artificial tree debate.
So there won't be a casino night confession now so I appreciated how you used the lines here instead.
To end with a blizzard and a one room situation - the next chapter should be quite interesting.
Author's Response: Santa's Village is kind of a small place so no worries if you've never heard of it. It's in the Lake Placid/Whiteface Mt. area if that helps at all. Considering Pam is the one taking him there, I figure Jim's ready and willing to follow her. Especially after her reveal in the car. I'm sure Roy would want to drive since to his mind, no one else would know how to drive or some other thing. Roy might let Pam sleep. After all if Pam is awake she'd want to talk to him, and it seems that's not really something Roy is very interested in, listening to Pam. Good thing Jim is cut from a very different cloth.
Loved adding the bits of fun like the gnome and tree debate while they're exploring the village. JAM banter can be tricky so I'm glad you liked it. Same with repurposing canon lines. The fun thing about AU is you can use the same lines, but twist them to mean different things. Always fun to do that.
Glad you're looking forward to the next chapter. So am I. Thanks as ever for the review.

Very cute chapter, I’d love to go to Santa’s Workshop myself!
Really liked getting to delve into how both Jim and Pam are feeling. And loved you fixed it so Jim took a step backwards and realised Pam needed to take things slow and not to rush her.
Looking forward to the next chapter!!
Author's Response: I remember Santa's Village being a lot of fun for sure. Considering Jim almost got his head caved in, I think it would make him reflect a bit. But this is also before the heartache of S3 so he's a lot more generous to her. Glad you liked it.

Ah, one of my absolute favourite tropes: "there's only one room left in the whole resort/area/island and you two very attractive people with copious amounts of unresolved sexual tension toward each other need to share..." Bring it on please! :D
Author's Response: Regardless of how often it's been done, it's always fun for sure. Glad you liked it.
