Just an aging therapist in need of creative outlets. Never extensively written creatively before, but completely obsessed with Pam and Jim after finally watching The Office.
[I know, come to the game late much? 😂]
In four decades on the planet, I have never written any fanfic (just an avid reader back in the day of Buffy/Angel and Twilight fanfic) and I am obsessed with this little Pennsylvania world.
This is Pam's POV of the weekend after Casino Night and what could have happened.
My stories are quasi-canon compliant - don't come at me!
1 EXCELLENT ending and fabulous world created! b29;a039;
A peak inside the date Jim and Pam had after the end of season 3 (We were robbed!!)

Awww!!!!! How sweet!
Pam discovers Jim is gentle when he wants to be. She thinks he wants to be gentle with her.
I could read this over and over again. So sweet and playful.
This was so wonderful! How enjoyable to read it from Jim’s side. Not sure how I missed reading this chapter, since I know I read Pam’s.
The terrific little back and forth allowing Jim to have an apology with Karen was perfect, and the nod to when she got engaged was great too.
I felt the same Jim energy from Office Olympics here, rallying people over time to join in the activity he was demonstrating. Helping the staff, shoveling things out, being kind and courteous. So wonderful.
Author's Response: It was a challenge to write Jim's side for sure. Thanks for picking up on those details. Always fun to include them. I agree, when Jim really sets his mind to something, usually the people around him get caught up in it too. Thanks for the review.
Oooo!!! Very intrigued where this will go!
Author's Response: ME TOO hahaha
OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The ooooos intensify!!! Can’t wait for more!
Secret Santa fic present for a very lovely lady <3
Just sweet and awesome… and I love the use of that song, so perfect to match this story 💜
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much for your kind review! d84;a039;
rough, angry Jim... as hard as it is to read, it kind of is what he was demonstrating with his hissy-fit "didn't get what I wanted, so I run away" tantrum.
The real meaning of Pam finding her voice with help from someone special.
Covers selective mutism and anxiety.

ABSOLUTE LOVE AND ADORATION FOR ALL THAT IS THIS UNIVERSE!!!
Raspberry tied in SO many snippets of canon with the reuniting of Pam & Jim, her white sneakers, Creed popping up, and paintings on the wall... HOW MARVELOUS AND SWEET!!
We will all absolutely miss updates for this wonderful world, but wish Pam & Jim all the best as they now move forward talking with and without words.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! You have always been so helpful and supportive! Appreciate you!
NOOOOOO…. Not okay…… oh my goodness, how you blended the canon in to this beautiful AU, brought the sudden departure in a way that is completely natural to this story. I am crying with sadness for how this may go next.
Beautifully done.
Author's Response: Aw thank you!
1 Oh my goodness this was amazing and sweet b29;a039;b29;a039; as a therapist working with people who struggle with communication differences, seeing Pam be HEARD by Jim is awesome b29;a039;b29;a039;
Author's Response: Aw, thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy it!
No! Jim.... don't listen to those jerks!!!
1 Never stop writing this sweet story b29;a039;
I adore how much you are capturing, we feel the internal struggle Pam has, and appreciate so much the person (in this case Jim) who cares enough to pay attention and bring communication out of her.
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much! Your so sweet!
Hey, have you MET second graders....there is a lot of drama! HAHAHA! Adoring this sweet story.
Author's Response: Haha, true for sure!
1 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I LOVE THE DWIGHT AND HIS PROTECTIVE FACTOR!!! SOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!
Author's Response: THANK YOUUU
Nervous wondering where this is going… don’t hurt her Jim!!!
Author's Response: Don?t worry? next chapter gets better!
How sweet!
I think my only suggestion would be… slow down b29;a039;
I know you mentioned missing a day to post.. life gets that way! Don’t rush these sweet characters and your wonderful story. Give yourself time b29;a039;b29;a039;
Author's Response: Oh thank you! I was getting nervous y’all were getting bored… but I’m happy to know you want it slower! Truly thank you!
1 *CHEERS AND OVATION!!*
You captures how I felt when I was in my first art gallery and I love that! You can read brushstrokes and lines and understand the artist and the message they covey without any words …. LOVED THIS!!!
I am so very excited to see where this is going!!
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much! Art has always been a huge comfort and method of using me voice when it seems too hard, so I really enjoyed putting it into words!
Sweet! Interesting hearing the vision of dad, how it changes the dynamic for Pam too.
Yay!!! Paint set gifts!!
Author's Response: Paint set time!!
OH!!!! Catching up and I adore the future-Dwight prank!!!!
Author's Response: Aw I’m so glad! Love making Dwight a bonding opportunity!
AWWWW!!!! Can’t wait for Jim’s reaction to his gift!
And, having been 8 and tapped my thumb… I felt this on a visceral level.. haha!
Author's Response: Oh no! I actually broke my arm falling off of a play set at recess when I was seven and never told anyone… I probably should have because it was broken in a few places haha! I managed to stay the entire day in school!
I just fistbumped the air at Jim being dyslexic!!!!! LOVE THIS!!! And we have all know. The jerk teacher who only cared about how THEY think kids should learn.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I felt like Jim was also using this to communicate and had so much meaning in it, so him having it just felt right! Of course we have the teacher who thinks they can fix everything haha!
1 He is SUPER brave, and SUPER sweet and SUPER kind.... I just adore this classroom and your world....I want to go and read stories to these littles!
Author's Response: Aw! Im so glad! I love writing sweet Jim
Raspberry...you make me long for my watercolor supplies, long gone from me now...you managed to capture how entrancing it is to let the colors flow on to the paper and how easy it is once the paper isn't stark white anymore. I cannot wait to see where Jim and Pam go with the art show ...SOOO much love for them!
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! Watercolors is so relaxing, you should certainly pull them out again! I think your going to enjoy the art show… there is a lot planned!
My squee of excitement that this got an update is only overshadowed by twinge of gut worry that the art show will be hard or Jim’s parents won’t bring him….. fingers crossed our little sweeties are okay!
Author's Response: Awww so glad! Don’t worry, it all works out!
