EM-F-213

Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a late bloomer to The Office. Found the show in 2018 after being shown it by my now step-niece, and my now husband's persistence in watching it. Jam caught my eye right away.

I'm a special education teacher, and a HUGE music fanatic.

Married my Jim on 04.16.2021.

OOOOOOOF my heart.

Great again, Dernhelm. I'm again left speechless

Author's Response: I'm thrilled with your reviews, Em. Thank YOU!

Aw the yogurt lid! Who knew we'd be so weepy over a yogurt lid.
This is great, I'm running out of words to say because your imagery is amazing and I find myself repeating that each time.

Still, beautiful

Author's Response: It's a true love, I guess, that even the smallest, the most meaningless trinket in the hands of a beloved one turns into a treasure. 
Thank you!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Dernhelm. Sending good vibes to you and your family.
This is a beautiful conversation they had. Grief hits us all at different times in our lives, and it forces us to answer questions we're not ready to. Neither of them want to discuss their after-death plans with one another, never *wanting* to part, but alas, it must be done sometimes.

This fits VERY well, Dernhelm. Beautiful.

Author's Response: Thank you, Em. Your support means a lot to me.

I love that deleted scene so much. This imagery is amazing!

Author's Response: So do I! They should have kept it!.. 
And thank you :)

Yep, this imagery describes Roy well.
Inviting at first, but still the threat of danger without her seeing.
This one is beautiful, I love it!

Author's Response: Thank you! This one is one of my favorite and I'm really glad it turned out well.

Aw Jim!
Loved this one! I love their shared goal of giving each other their everything. This warmed my heart!

Author's Response: Aww, I'm glad you like this one! Thank you!

Late on reading and reviewing (as per usual).

I love this idea. 1 AM tends to give us some of the most brilliant ideas, thank you for running with this one.

The imagery in this is beautiful, and it captures her fear and budding flower of confidence very well.

Can't wait for the rest of this series, it's already off to an amazing start!

Author's Response: Thank you, Em! I still don't know how long I'll keep going, but I'm still excited with this idea :)

Hi, resident Disney-obsessed reader here.

OUCH, this one hurt. I love the imagery of fairytales here with Jim (even if the last line felt like a punch in the gut). Fortunately for us, we know it's true love's kiss and she wakes up, but poor Jim.

Author's Response: Thank you (and sorry for the punch)! I like fairytales very much and I think I keep looking in that direction for other stories as well...

Summary:

“We just... we never got the timing right, you know? I shot him down and then he did the same to me, but you know what? It's okay.”

 

Jim and Pam turn each other down a couple more times before finally getting together. Set after Casino Night until The Return.

Aly! This was amazing!!
Sure, I’m bawling my eyes out again. However, this is 1000% worth it.

I loved this so much!

Summary: AU It’s summertime and Pam is the head counselor at camp Dunder Mifflin Scampton. When the cute new hire Jim Halpert causes more trouble than she bargained for, Pam takes him under her wing and the spark between them becomes harder to ignore. As their relationship shifts to something that could almost be mistaken for serious, Pam has to keep reminding herself that it’s nothing more than a summer romance.

Oh, JJ. This was utterly amazing.
The whole camp location, everything with Michael (which would definitely happen. Michael would totally blow off everything involving the kids), and Pam instantly not liking Jim. I love this, can't wait to see what happens next!

Summary: They get a little bit drunk. Jim gets a little possessive. Takes place post Local Ad.

TPB, this was great.
"Motorcycle Waiter Dude" brilliant. Great way to describe that guy, but also to set this story along.
The "She’s Princess Leia, Audrey Hepburn, and both versions of Sandy from Grease all wrapped up into one." had me ROLLING. I love those descriptions of her from Jim's POV. She's his leading lady, makes me swoon.
“I can’t believe I don’t have to fight off a pack of motorcycles every day.” Oh Jim.
“You better be taking off your clothes while you’re waiting,” Fancy New Beesly is thriving and well. I love it.

This was great, TPB!

Summary: School is back in session at Edward Truck Memorial High School. Follow our two favorite teachers as they wade though teenage hormones, handle ridiculous coworkers, and navigate their new marriage together.

Sequel to Beyond the Blackboard which you can find here.

Aw WW! I loved this chapter so much! Spirit week is so much fun, I can’t believe Jim doesn’t like participating (I mean I can, but when Pam’s in the picture, why not right?). I love the ending, the Star Wars fan in me squeeled.

SO cute!

AAAAAAAAH! This was great, WW!
“Clandestine meetings” hmm....would those be followed by longing stares? Sorry, I had to.
SO reminiscent of both The Negotiation and Fun Run. I love their banter and, aaaah so cute!

I loved this chapter a lot!

The MOMENT I saw this was updated, I was pulled out of my small hiatus (work is kicking my butt right now).

WW this was great! I love how Danny and Karen are being set up to try to get him to transfer into their district. Something tells me Karen will have something up her sleeve too to convince him...

But Michael Michael Michael... I love it!

Great update!

THIS after 18 months?! OUCH.
I love that Jim skipped practice to stay with Pam 🥰, but what terrible timing from Karen (of all Mexican food places in Scranton, she *had* to be at that one). But THAT ENDING?! OUCH.

Now I'll be in my feels as I start my school day with my littles today :'(

Summary: What if Pam didn't hug Jim back? Set during S9: Paper Airplane and will continue from there.

OUCH! Talk about angst and feels!
This is really good, just hits the heartstrings a bit (more like a lot).
Can't wait to see what comes of this, hoping for that happy ending though

Author's Response: Thanks!! I've always been itching to write about their marriage troubles lasting for more than one season. I haven't decided on the ending yet but don't worry. I'm not sadistic enough to break them up...or am I?

Date: January 15, 2021 Title: Chapter 2: Love is Kind

OUCH AGAIN!
I like that Dwight’s now consoling Jim rather than Pam. It’s a nice change.
But OOF my heart! I loved this so much. Can’t wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Thanks!

 Yeah, I really planned the chapter to turn out in a way that Jim would end up in the stairwell with Dwight so it took me a while to plan out how it would occur.

I'm writing the third chapter as I respond to this review so it shouldn't take long. 

Summary: Pam (and the entire office) find out Jim is struggling with an eating disorder.

Can I start off with saying "ouch?" Is that appropriate?

This is very, VERY well-written. I love that you showcased a male with an ED, although it hurt to see that it was Jim. It's always women portrayed with EDs, so thank you for sharing light on the fact that males can have them too.

This was just super realistic while reading, and the ending hit me hard. I love that Jim doesn't want Pam to feel as if she needs to "fix men," which is absolutely 100% true that she doesn't. Her response was great.

Overall, this was really well-written, and although I may be hurt the rest of the day thinking about this Jim, it was definitely worth the read!

Author's Response: Thank you for the review!

Summary: "Well I've been on fire, dreaming of you
Tell me you don't,
It feels like you do.
Opening up can open some wounds."


An alternate take on Casino Night.

WW. Where did this come from?!

I love this! This was amazing, and I love how Jim dragged the night out, then finally tells her, only to have him kiss her in the rain! Rain kisses, my favorite!

Now, maybe he’ll get to *unzip* her dress!

Summary:

I kept writing and dreaming till my words ran out

And I stared at this blank page

'Til finally I wrote

 

Five letters Jim has written to Pam throughout his time at Dunder Mifflin.

I want to virtually hug him.

Loved this chapter!

Your teapot note was beautiful, Aly!

I feel like most people go the full-loving admission route, but this was a nice, subtle way he told her. And I love it!

What a great ending to this beautiful story!
