31 Six different proposals, one actual wedding that ends in a proposal of her own.
Written for secret santa!
The best one! The gas station may not be the typical romantic proposal scenery but the romance of it is that Jim couldn’t wait.
Aww so sweet! I am dead from all of this fluffiness!
1 Aww this is so sweet! I like possessive jealous Jim.
Somewhere between Casino Night and Gay Witch Hunt. Pam's honest thoughts over her feelings for Jim, and he leaving for Stamford, as she's parked in front of his former apartment.
1 So beautifully heartbreaking.
1 Another good one! I really like the changes it’s fun to read different ways a scene can turn out.
Beth the waitress returns!
A series of stand alone, slice of life, one-shots in Pam and Jim's life, all tied together with the thread that runs through them; they all end with dinner at Christopher's, where (in my headcanon) they had their first date.
The first and the last chapter NOW COMPLETE work in tandem, but everything in between is its own story if you want to pop in for one whose title strikes your fancy.
1 Cece’s love for her daddy is adorable!
So sweet that Jim took Pam on their first date at her perfect date spot.
1 "I don't think it counts as 'jumping in' when I've had one foot in the water since the day I met you." He kissed her gently on the forehead. "I'm all in now."
Love this line from Jim! Very fitting.
Wonderful one shot! Very sweet.
1 Hahahahaahaahahaaaaaahaha! Oh my goodness! This is so hilariously bad. But yet so ridiculously good!
I literally almost died laughing!
She had spent her whole life trying to put it into words.
1 Yeah. It’s a series of small and big moments that how Pam knew. It’s about all the little moments. Love doesn’t need some big gesture all the time. Big gestures are lovely and romantic on occasion, but the little moments are even better.
The looks shared, little touches, conversations, and jokes during the 9-5 hours on weekdays were the only way they could connect during the early days. And, of course, the pranks.
Well, making and giving a mixtape- or, well, in this case mix CD- is what people do for their significant other. In a way it was Pam telling him she loves him but wouldn’t admit it and is in denial.
I think Jim always stood up for Pam in subtle ways. Pam was in deep denial at this point. The moment someone takes notice and says something to her… she shuts it down because she doesn’t want to be faced with the truth of her actions.
Pam’s home with Roy is not home to her. It's with Jim.
They were kind of star-crossed lovers, huh? Maybe a little, but they have a happy ending. I am glad they have it. I think it was an inner struggle for Pam during this point. She feels loyalty and obligation to Roy, so she thinks she should stay with him. They have been together for about a decade- give or take. I don't think she knew what love was other than what she had with Roy. As a child, she thought her parents were soulmates, but in that same episode, when she said that line, it's proven not to be the case. It made me wonder if William and Helene’s relationship were similar to Pam and Roy's. I can believe that. Make sense because that is the only relationship or love she has known. She didn't know the difference. She probably thought Roy was her soulmate. Until meeting Jim. When she met him she was confused and discounted it as “oh, he’s just friend. That fluttering feeling means nothing. Roy is my soulmate.” But eventually as time go on I think she something in the back of her head that is telling her that is not the case. That she does love Jim but she push it back. Refusing to acknowledge it. She didn’t have the courage and out of loyalty to Roy. Afraid too and she not a person that big on change. She likes familiarity.
I think in some way Pam wanted Jim to save her and just say it, just say “I am in love with you.” Or at least “Yes, I do have a crush on you.” The Secret episode would have been a good time to just admit it. There times before that where he could have. But I completely understand why Jim didn’t. I mean she was engaged with someone else.
Ahh domestic bliss…
Jim is definitely her home. I truly think graphic design weren’t her thing. I don’t think she failed. It just not her kind of thing. She wants to paint and watercolor and sketch on paper.
Yeah Pam always been in love with him. Probably since the day she met him. Or at least sometimes soon after.
Yeah she just know. This is so good!! Thank you for writing.
33 1 I like this cute callback to that line. Really clever. Full of fluffiness in so little words.
So heartwarming. This day was a glass of cold water after a dry, hot day.
1 Interesting twist for Casino Night. A different Pam and a different Jim. Pam is being more bold and Jim is more understanding that he’s putting a lot on her.
Good start let see what happens next!
1 Huh, oh, the Andersons are not happy. What is going to happen next?
1 Quite interesting that Roy’s family doesn't seem to know what he is like with Pam. But I get why they would be unhappy with Pam. It was the wrong timing, but I understand why Pam felt suffocated. All of this will blow over. And Pam can be with Jim without feeling guilty.
(btw I know Patsy Anderson is angry but does she knows Roy getting a DUI is still his own action and choice, not Pam’s? But she is upset and it's her son. But still pretty petty.)
Aww Jim... He bought the motel room for her.
Oh Jim. 🥰
1 Glad to see growth on Roy’s part, and Pam seems freer than before. Pam’s right they wasn’t good for each other.
1 Oh I know why her apartment feels empty… not home yet or too huge… Jim. Or more like the absent of Jim. Oh Pam… heartbreaking but I truly think it probably good she had this time to herself. But break my heart.
I bet it felt good to destroy all that inside joke stuff from the teapot. Kinda sad but she needed to do what help her feel better. At least in the moment. Good thing she didn’t break the teapot!
No matter how she try she won’t move on. She could pretend but not really.
Heartbreaking but I know it will end happy later!
55 word sequel to Copper Strands.
I only own my words, not them.
1 Love how this mirrors Copper Strands and Treasures In The Sheets. But stages of Jim’s life considering with Pam.
Author's Response:
Had to follow-up on the heartbreak from Copper Strands -couldn't leave Jim in that state.
Thanks kindly for the review.
1 Little Cece is so adorable! I vividly imagine her with honeycomb curly hair, Jim’s big nose and hazel eyes but Pam’s smile. A perfect miss of her parents.
“she rubbed it a few times, refusing to acknowledge what her heart was actually wishing for. “ she’s wishing for Jim. This is a sweet idea for their “season one” Christmas. Love that Jim meant to give her a watch but back out and give it to her years later. Oh Jim.
Aww, I am not exactly sure if I believe those rocks have actual magical powers (Jim probably did pick up some nice looking rocks/or pebbles somewhere around the building) but I love that they still give her something to hold on to and hope. Give her strength to keep hoping. I like that better than they having actually magical powers.
Aww! Knew it! Actually pretty sweet what he did and quite creative in a very simple way. Aww! This is adorable! Again want to give you a thousands jelly beans!
Somewhat canon-complicit? 6 or 7 short blurbs of the moments where Jim had butterflies while with Pam. Pure fluff, I apologize!
1 Aww, Jim is taking Pam to meet his parents! Jim is definitely the guy that absolutely dotes on her until his last breath. Are there fics where Jim or Pam meet the parents? All I think of is Irish Springs.
“You did it, Jim, he says to himself. You’re going to make her your wife. Placing a kiss on her forehead, he whispers to her the words he could tell her forever and never tire of: “I love you so much, Beesly….””
Works perfectly to how happy Jim looks when he came back to Dundee Mifflin and his proud smile when Michael did his “we did it” speech (or something like that). Michael was talking about the weight loss challenge but to him it’s: I FINALLY did it. I am going to marry Pamela Morgan Beesly. This is actually happening.” His happy dazed look says a lot.
Aww when they find out Pam is pregnant with Cece! JK did so well in that scene. He wasn't even a father yet. Jenna too of course but because we have more closer view of Jim and heard him speak we saw more of his emotions.
I love that their ceremony on the boat was just for them. When Pam laid her head on his shoulder I am sure it reminded him of the first time when she did it.
Cece is the perfect name. It’s fits. Jim adores his girls very much.
OMG it’s my headcanon that Phillip’s middle name is James!
Jim will always feel butterflies with her aww…
Aww this is perfection. I want to give you a thousand jellybeans.
1 “Well, except for Michael. Michael was like a neon sign in a bar.” One of the best ways to describe Michael.
Jim is so instantly taken with Pam! Of course. Ouch when he learn she’s engaged. (Don’t worry Jim. One day you will have her. Just wait and see.)
If only Pam was single, huh?
Your Michael and Dwight makes me chuckle.
Oh Jim… the habit will never ends.
Oh Dwight is definitely the kid that add extra questions and staple them behind the tests.
Jim always love pulling pranks but… “ “Nothing happens here. Anything you want to do to keep Dwight’s attention away from the rest of us will be very appreciated.” “ Pam is the one that put the seed that leads to the idea of his pranking Dwight all the time!
Oh Jim, just you wait. A long wait but you will get there.
This is a good one!
🤦r05;a92;a039; I meant June not July!
1 Aww… this is a wonderful, magical and aww-worthy of a Christmas fic! Don’t even care that I am reading this in July lol. It always a great time to read Christmas story! Wish I can give you a thousand jelly beans but can’t. Thank you!
1 And the rest is history 😊
This is so sweet and cleverly done with the two different versions in one. I like the parallels and the differences of each.
Keep on writing!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!
1 Haha! This is so funny and cute.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
1 Whew! Glad Karen’s out the picture. Hmm… Jim found Pam’s last name.
