So crazy!! Your story Firsts was on the random story section a few days ago and I read it...enjoyed it very much...and I clicked to see what other stories you had! Read what was submitted on this story and was sad it hadn’t been updated in so long! Then I log in and see not one but two updates?! Yay!! So glad you’re back and giving us more of this story!

Author's Response: Thank you! I am hoping to be able to finish out “The First” sometime soon, I just have to get in the right frame of mind for it. But please be on the lookout for new things to come soon!

Summary: Past Featured Story

The Office meets Parfumerie/She Loves Me/Shop Around the Corner/You've Got Mail. Pam and Jim meet earlier in life in AOL trivia chatrooms without knowing who each other are. 

In addition to the above-mentioned sources, also owes a lot to a number of fics on this site, most notably Expressions in Emoticons and the Love-Song of Squirrel McPants. 

Now Complete: AU, starting before S1 (and thus also a Prior Meeting), running into S2.

I’ve read here for probably close to 10 years and never made an account to review (shame on me I know) but THIS story made me make one! I’m so addicted! I look forward to reading your updates every night when I put my daughter to bed for the night...I don’t know what I’ll do when this is over 😭 I’ll be looking forward to your next story! Love the daily updates.

I tried guessing many times during the course of the last few weeks just how exactly they were going to figure out who they’ve been talking to all these years. I had finally decided it would be after casino night...that they’d be online and one of them would say what happened and they’d finally put two and two together...and then you threw out the first date story and I love that idea way more than anything I had thought up! This story is amazing and I can’t wait to see what happens next...and I vote yes for an epilogue 👍🏻👍🏻

Author's Response:

Well, what can I say? I'm very flattered to hear that, and very glad that you're reading along. I thought about trying to get as far as Casino Night, but I didn't think I had the imagination to keep them from noticing until then. Can you imagine Booze Cruise? I'm glad it worked for you to have it go where it did.

 And I definitely won't say shame on you for taking forever to make an account; I didn't until I started writing here, but you better believe I read the majority of the fics I've read here before I got the account name. I did go back and review/jellybean/appreciate my old favorites from before, but obviously not all of them (*hangs head*). Thanks for formally joining us (though you've actually been one of "us" forever)! 

Summary: Life is a journey full of highs and lows. Jim and Pam discover this from the first time they met and onwards.

Ahh how do you end it there?! 😭 Looking forward to the next update!

Author's Response: How do I end it there? Simple really, stop typing. I'm kidding of course. It was always my intent to have the chapter end like that. One so I don't have huge chapters that take forever to read and also to have a very clear break from what's coming next. Thanks for the review.

Date: March 19, 2019 Title: Chapter 25: Epilogue

What a wonderful ride this story has been! I looked forward to every chapter and selfishly I waited a few days to read the epilogue once I saw it posted...just because I wasn’t ready for it to end.

From one medic to another- it was refreshing to see medical aspects added to a story that were accurate! Haha. Nice to see my two loves-the office and paramedicine- combined in a believable way. Totally enjoyed every part of this and I hope to see more adventures of Jamie and Morgan!

Author's Response: Another Medic around these parts?! Holy crap! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Ah well. Actually I realized something a while back about the cardiac arrest chapters. They're based on 2010-2015 AHA guidelines, however at that point in the story it's what 2006? So Vasopressin should have been there for the first and/or second round of Epi. Ah well, I'll take off my medic nerd glasses now.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this story. It was a lot of fun to put it all together. Please feel free add more feedback to future writings as well. I always value what readers have to say. Thanks again.

Whoa! I definitely wasn’t expecting that at the end! Ryan! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

The part about Jim with a beard? Made me smile..cause Jim with a beard is very nice haha.

Author's Response: Thanks! That's kind of what I was going for with the ending. Not to bad for writing a chapter while sitting post in my ambulance late at night, eh? And thanks for the beard comment. Stop by one of our chats sometime and mention Jim with a beard or John Krasinski with a beard and the reactions can get kind of fun. Figured I'd throw everyone a bone for that one.

I come here at night when I’m putting my daughter to bed and I’m always happy to see updates from you! This time...two?! How exciting! Loved how you handled the Karen/Ryan stuff and threw in some back story on Kelly. While I love stories that show Pam and Jim finding their way to each other I also love reading stories that get them together early on...the build up and repair of their relationship is fun to read and you’re doing a great job of making it interesting while adding in those cliffhangers! Looking forward to the next update!!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you. Jim and Pam getting back together has been done so many times it can be a challenge to come up with something that is unique by this point. I'm very glad to hear that you're finding my stories compelling. Thanks for the review, I'm very glad you're enjoying this tale.

Summary: As WWII rages Jim is sent to England to serve as a fighter pilot. He and Pam send each other letters as conflict arises in the skies above Europe and back on the home front.

I’ve been *patiently* waiting for your next story and the wait was worth it!! I’m such a sucker the for WW2 era stories (Pearl Harbor is one of my favorite movies of all time 🥰) so this is going to be an exciting adventure! Looking forward to seeing how you develop their relationship through letters and where they are in their relationship...is she with Roy? Are they just friends right now? Ahh I’m excited for the next chapter! Hoping for some chill nights at work for you (I won’t jinx you with the dreaded “Q” word haha and make your shifts crazy) so the next chapter can come quickly! Longest story on the archive...you’ve got this!

Author's Response: Thank you. Glad to have you aboard. Hopefully what I've got planned will live up to your expectations. I like what I've got planned, so I'm hoping others will too. Thanks for not using the "Q" or "S" words. Hope you have good shifts too. Stay safe.

The part with Pam and Penny making their way from the train station to the apartment was written so well I could see it playing out in my head. Love how you made it so Pam was single...makes for one less obstacle for Jim to overcome to get his lady...cause being a pilot in the war seems like enough of an obstacle to me haha. I knew it was going to be Todd Packer in the bar scene before you had him introduce himself just by your description so again...awesome job setting the scene so vividly! Ready for the next chapter! 👍🏻

Author's Response: One of my favorite authors once said, "paint a picture with words." It's a thought that's stuck with me during a lot of my writings. I'm glad I was able to help you imagine the scenes clearly. Yeah, I wanted Roy out of the way early this time. For basically those reasons, and my inherent dislike of Roy in general. Thanks for the feedback.

Life has just managed to get absolutely insane (work in general and I’m 5 days away from having baby #2) but I’ve managed to spend my evening relaxing and catching up on this story. Love how you’re taking the time to really set the stage with their relationship. It doesn’t feel rushed at all...it’s nice to see the small things come together for them and the relationship develop into something beautiful. The teasing and joking mixed with some romance and tenderness is a perfect blend.

Love how you added in the list of things from the Booze Cruise. Always fun to see pieces of the show fit right into a story...especially one as AU as this one. The banter between Jim and Dwight was spot on...I’m interested to see if Jim and Pam actually do go to the beet farm at some point in the story.

Glad Mark and Jim are sticking around a bit longer. I think developing their relationships with the Beesley sisters will make it just that much more interesting as the story unfolds and we get back to the time frame from your first chapter.

Looking forward to what comes next in this!!

Author's Response: First and foremost, early congrats on the new kiddo. I hope all goes well with that. Secondly, great to hear from you again. 

I'm glad the story is working well for you. One of the things I've been concerned about is that I'm dragging things out. So I'm glad to get some feedback saying the slower approach is working. It's a lot of fun to mine the show and find fun things to add in. The lines from the Booze Cruise and the beet farm for example. Also Pam's "you're on dangerous ground." 

Thank you very much for the feedback. I hope the rest of the story lives up to any expectations you might have.

So much happened in this chapter! Where to even begin?! I had been wondering how Michael would fit into this storyline...definitely can’t see him in the military! This is perfect though! Loved how he had his moment to be sweet Michael...it’s always endearing to see that side of him. The “never, ever, ever give up” line is one of my favorites from the show and I enjoyed seeing it as their motto! Also adding in the other female cast members was a nice surprise!

The telegram got me for a minute but I thought- no, warrior wouldn’t do that to us...right? Haha! I was relieved it wasn’t anything awful. The proposal was sweet...made me smile and think of the gas station proposal. Spur of the moment -can’t wait any longer...you captured that feeling perfectly!

Looking forward to what happens next!

Author's Response: MCapps! Wonderful to hear from you again! I'm so glad you liked this chapter. I had a lot of fun bringing it together so I'm glad you liked it too. Yeah, there was no way I was going to let Michael anywhere near the military. Michael with heavy weaponry? Not so much. So that left the door open for the Sweet Michael moment. 

The telegram shouldn't really have been anything to worry about really. Remember, we still haven't caught up to the prologue yet. But still I'm glad it did get a reaction like this though.

The proposal was most assuredly inspired by the gas station, but there's also some lines from "Casino Night" in there as well as the foreheads touching and simultaneous I love you from "Paper Airplanes."

I'll start working on this one after Christmas and after I finish up the Christmas story I'm working on at the moment as well. Glad you liked this chapter. Always fun to hear from you.

Plot twist! It’s Roy!! I wondered if he was about to make an appearance once I saw the plane was named Pammy...this will definitely mix things up some! It will be interesting to see how they discover they both know Pam and how Roy reacts to her being engaged to another man. Two thumbs up for this! Also the cat/monkey plane...fun nod to Angela!

One of the things I love most about your stories is how detailed you write and the depth of the plot. I’ve learned so many interesting things about flying, WW2 and baseball just from this alone. Your descriptions really set the scene well and it’s so easy to get lost in the chapter and I’m always disappointed when I reach the end. Can’t wait to see what is next!

Author's Response:

Always lovely to hear from you MCapps. Glad you're here for this twist. It's one of the the plot bunnies I came up with when I first thought up this story so its fun to start bringing to light. Glad you also caught sight of Dwight's plane there. That'll be fun to explore as well.

Thank you for your kind words about the depth and detail. Just when I think "did I go overboard on this one?" I get a review like this. So thanks. I'm very glad you're enjoying it so much.

I’m glad I had an evening free to sit back and catch up on Silver Wings. You really paint the picture well with your words and each chapter is so realistic and vivid. Like last chapter, I could picture Ryan’s smug face and as the guys told what really happened how his demeanor changed. This chapter was so fun! The songs were amazing... I almost felt as if I were there hearing them. Love that Jim got to see his brother. I’m sure that’s quite the mood boost he needed after the day he experienced. Looking forward to seeing what is next :)

Author's Response: Thanks MCapps. Always a delight to hear from you. I'm really glad you're enjoying everything. I'll admit I was a little worried about putting in all the songs. It makes me very glad to hear you enjoyed them.

Date: August 05, 2020 Title: Chapter 20: Summer's End

So much to enjoy here. First- the Morse code! I assumed what it was but went to google anyways and enjoyed learning what each letter was and decoding Pam’s message to Jim. Second- the chant before the game. My favorite office scene with Michael... “never, ever, ever give up.” Love how you tucked that into your story and it fit perfectly. Third- another tease with Roy...he has a girl but never says her name? Oh man...I can’t wait til that all comes to a head. I like this Roy and Jim friendship (not sure what else to call it) and it will definitely be interesting to see when/how they figure out that Pam was with Roy.

You knocked it out of the park (pun intended 😜) once again with your descriptions of each scene and I’m sad to see their baseball season ending. Also, how you described their mission using baseball terms in the letter for Pam was fun to read.

I’m really enjoying this Warrior and I always look forward to reading your updates! I hope you’re doing well!

Author's Response: Glad you liked everything here. It's fun to find some not as obvious moments from the show and fit them in. Such as Pam learning Morse Code. Jim would have in his role as a military pilot so having Pam learn it was also a fun tie-in. Same for all the lines from Booze Cruise. 

The Jim-Roy friendship is one I'm really having fun with. I always kinda wondered how they'd react if Pam wasn't a thing between them. So this is my way of exploring that.

Glad you liked the baseball code as well. That was another fun element to add and it seems to have landed well with most people.

I alway look forward to reading any reviews you leave MCapps and this one was great. I'm doing well. Settling into the new ambulance company I'm now working for which sadly leaves little time to write. Thanks as always for your great feedback.

My eyebrows literally raised when I read the last line! I wasn’t expecting that at all. Definitely very interested to see how that works out!

Their list of things to do when Jim gets back looks an awful lot like a list of one shots that could be written once this is finished 😉 Just sayin. Haha!

As always, enjoyed this update! Glad things have settled down some for you! I know the adjustment from one kid to two was rough for me for a bit but it definitely gets easier. Congratulations on the new baby and I hope everyone is doing well!

Author's Response:

Glad I can still keep people on their toes with this one. I'm really liking the List of Things to do When Jim Gets Back as well. I've had some ideas for that, but I'm always on the lookout for new material, so thank you.

We're getting used to new routines is all, but we're hanging in there. Thank you for your review and thoughts. Always lovely to hear from you.

I’m not too sure why I thought this was just a one shot. I got to the end and was so disappointed that it was ending...but thankfully I was wrong!! Whew! I was instantly drawn into this and as always found myself visualizing each scene. You always do such a great job with that. I’m curious as to how long Pam will put up with Roy’s crap. Who proposes like that?! Only Roy haha. Glad she stood up for herself though and love the timing of Jim’s text. Looking forward to another great adventure from you Warrior! 🤞🏻

Author's Response: Thanks MCapps. Glad you liked everything. This probably won't be another 20+ chapter epic, but it still should be fun to explore. Glad to have you hear for this one too.
