Title: Chapter 1: Birdcage
Okay, STRONG opening line and opening exchange. I'm guffawing. And I love the idea of Pam repeatedly asserting girlfriend privilege and how charmed Jim is by it. AND you brought it all the way back around!
"That she’s never been more in love than she is right now, sharing a bag of pretzels with her best friend Jim in their boring break room." That's so them.
"How about the next Michael movie that shows up will be our code word" YOU DO FOSSE, FOSSE, FOSSE! MARTHA GRAHAM, MARTHA GRAHAM, MARTHA GRAHAM! This also feels like it fits the crafted scenario as a movie Michael would definitely watch but not want anyone to know he watched.
“Do you really think anyone here cares what we say? Or even pays any attention to us at all?” Delilah: *Jims the camera*
"It honestly doesn’t bother her, but the fact that it bothers him makes her love him even more." Too cute.
Very solid Oscar voice - him starting with the part that sounds clever and throwing in that he just happened upon them once as a side note.
This has a remarkable feeling of early Season 4 canon, right down to its socks.
Author's Response: Haha I love that Delilah is just hanging around in the background in all my fics for you whether she’s in them or not (she’s always in them). Thanks for the review, DJC!
