He was never meant to end up here, to meet her, and to have his life changed forever.
1 I'm massively impressed with what you've achieved here - it's a huge undertaking, and you've created a great story out of it. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Sam!
1 Each time I come across a new chapter of this, I'm in awe of what you've achieved, and the world you've painted. Insightful and fabulous - thanks!
'He thought that one day when things were finally right between them, he would tell her about this evening, and the painting, and the sun in her hair. But this day hadn’t come yet.'
Set before the seasons (and in AU).
1 I really enjoyed this: it's warm and lovely and it made me happy. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, Sam! I'm glad you enjoyed this story!
Sometimes Jim doesn't get Roy.
A version of Booze Cruise where Jim rocks the boat.
1 Oofty...assertive Jim to the rescue! Loved this; great story, great characterisation, great story. Lovely!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Sam! It’s so nice to hear from you!
“What was the point of secrets anymore, for three years he had kept this inside hoping it would fade but could only feel it getting stronger. Pam would reject him, Jim knew that, but at least he could say he was honest.” An alternate take on Casino Night.
1 Super story; sexy and angst and with a lovely resolution...And think of the season 3 stress it would have saved us if they'd done something like this on the show! Great.
Thanks.
1 I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this! Great work so far.
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope you keep enjoying this. CH. 4 is up now.
1 Another great chapter! Really looking forward to seeing how they resolve this.
1 I'm gripped! Love how you've brought the three of them together, and really looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Loved competitive Jim's high school basketball dig!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad I grabbed you. Chapter 7 is up now.
1 Great premise! I've really enjoyed it so far.
Thanks.
Author's Response: Glad you are liking it- thank you!
"The veil of complacency that she had worn for a decade had fallen from her eyes and she now saw everything anew."
A series of episode related oneshots taking a look at what was going on in Pam Beesly's mind.
1 I'm gripped...(In a good way.)
Author's Response: Thank you!
1 Oh my... I love that you have them *almost* having an actual honest conversation! You've made a great job of capturing the anguish and pain of season 3.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Sam! There is so much left unsaid during this time but the payoff will be worth it. :)
1 Gosh - that's painful. And very well done.
Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank YOU for your review!
During mandatory lockdown there is still work to do, and Pam is nothing but a professional.
Contemporary AU lockdown JAM.
1 I'm really enjoying this - thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks very much!
1 I'm excited to read more of this...
Super, so far!
Jim returns to Scranton from Stamford in a world where Karen doesn't exist. Pam wants to pick up where they left off on Casino Night but Jim tells her he's done all the pursuing so far, and he'd like be pursued (read: seduced). "Give me a reason to come back."
Inspired by the Taylor Swift song "I Think He Knows".
1 This is lovely; emotional and honest, with the promise (?) of heat. And the non-existence of Karen as a bonus. What's not to like ?
Thanks! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you!
In different places and different times, Pam meets Jim, and these meetings change both their lives.
1 Wow- this is fun! I'm intrigued. And I absolutely felt Pam's fear in the woods. I can relate to that feeling, as a child, when you know you've made a risky choice and the panic's rising and you're in danger, and you know it's all your own fault...
Looking forward to the rest!
Author's Response: Thank you, Sam! I borrowed that part from my own experience with a corn maze :)
First of all, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you here. I haven't known how you were getting on, but I've been really concerned for the welfare of you and your family, and horrified at what has happened. I'm delighted to hear that you're all home and safe at the moment, and I'd like you to know that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you all continuing safety and , hopefully, an end to this soon.
I don't know where you found the energy to write, but I'm so glad you did! I was intrigued by this when you first wrote it and I'm gripped again. Slime is fitting...
Hopefully you'll find time to provide us with an update at some point, but no pressure.
Take care x
(P.S. ... and belated birhday best wishes!)
1 I'm really interested in the conflict that you've introduced for Pam. You've written it really well, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take it.
Loving the idea of a space agency. Like a travel agency, but with time. Sounds fab!
Author's Response: Thank you! I can't say much without spoilers, but in further chapters, there will be more about the agency :)
1 This is extremely inventive!. Super work.
Author's Response: Thank you!
1 I loved the vivid description - you've really captured the settings and moods. I also loved Pam's poster; that was a great touch. Jim's vulnerability at the end, when he's handing over the pendant, is super-sweet.
Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words!
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
And you know damn well
For you I would ruin myself
...a million little times
Song fic based off of illicit affairs by Taylor Swift
1 I'd have been delighted to see this happen in Series 3! Think of the stress you could have saved us...
This is super. Thanks!
In their new house in Austin, Pam gets inspired by a certain Taylor Swift song and leaves out one of her old journals by accident. Jim gets Pam's perspective of The Job and some other events from season 3.
Just a cute little one-shot of future Jam reminiscing over old memories.
1 Aww...this is sweet. I don't know the music, but I like the way you used it. Really enjoyed this.
It takes a few endings to get to a beginning. Season 3, but make it exile.
(When I was talking about folklore inspiring fics I didn’t mean me, whoops...)
1 Another vote for "Of COURSE that's why Jim went back upstairs!" from me. Never thought of that, but it makes so much sense.
Gosh - I really felt Pam's pain, when she realised he'd gone. You captured it really well.
Loved the different perspectives, and I (reluctantly) felt some sympathy for Roy...
Also really liked the way you tied it up with the yoghurt lid. Great work - thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, Sam! Yeah, that’s my headcanon and I’m going with it. I’m not going to lie, making people feel a tiny bit sorry for Roy doesn’t make me mad...
She leaves Phyllis’ wedding reception with Roy and unbeknownst to her the last remnants of her friendship with Jim up and follow them out the door.
Yes, it’s another Season 3 fix-it... don’t judge me...
There can never be enough season 3 fix-its...and this one is fab! You have a lovely, warm style, Jenna.
I thought you managed the tension of chapter 2 really well, and the pay-off in chapter 3 was very satisfying.
And I loved the way you had Jim all messed up and irrational with conflicting and confusing emotions too.
Really enjoyed this - thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, Sam! I was worried my Jim here would be a little too over the top, but I kept hearing Jenna & Angela calling him “wishy-washy” on the podcast & figured it wasn’t completely inconceivable for him to be this much of a mess...
In which Jim and Pam find their unicorn...and then find another.1 Well...that was a wild ride - fantastic and hot! And super writing.
Thanks!
