Hi TLC!
I really enjoyed this. It's really sweet, and I'm a sucker for stories where Pam finally figures out what it is she should be doing - and does it. Really liked the writing too.
Thanks!

Thank you TLC for giving us a Pam whose vision started getting better with the arrival of her new friend and kept getting clearer as she noticed how much a part of her life he was.
For having her recognize she belonged next to him, not just in meetings and at lunch, but in all parts of her life but as long as she wears another man’s ring (one that isn’t her style at all) she couldn’t claim that spot.
For having her try out not wearing it for short bits to give her courage so that when she does reach her breaking point she could take it off for good.
I felt you did a good job with having there still be time for growth and her finding her own personal independence before bringing them together.
And thank you for giving us a Pam who could go after her dreams because her eyes were open and not feel she had to be at DM forever just because he was. Because this clear-sighted Pam knew the strength of their love.
Really enjoyed this story if you couldn’t tell. Well written and engaging. Some stuff I’ve written (some posted and some to come) have similarities. Always enjoy a storyteller that see some things in the same way I do.
Welcome to MTT and looking forward to more from you.

This was so lovely!
*He’s just existing, and expects her to go along with it. And it’s so clear before her, that this will be her whole life. Just this. *
This is so spot on, and I think this was actually her headspace when she did break it off with him (although a lot of Jim swirling around in there too, obviously)
*She also suspects that, after so long, he didn’t know how to stop waiting and finally start. *
I gasped!
Welcome to MTT, so glad to have you here!

YAY. I remember reading this on A03, really happy you brought it over!
This is just really well written, and also a really good glimpse at the slow process of Pam realizing her feelings, step by step, painfully, slowly, fighting her instincts and her comfort zone all the way. The choice to have it be kind of a small thing that pushes her over the top is strong, I think - because she's right, there's nothing terrible about Roy, she's just not living the life she wants there. Same thing with the development of her relationship with Jim. This feels like how things would have happened if they were real people rather than sitcom characters who need big moments to happen for finales.
"She also suspects that, after so long, he didn’t know how to stop waiting and finally start." This feels like it has a certain amount of explanatory power for Season 3, too.
Them getting Dwight the little bear is too cute.
Welcome to MTT! We don't want no scrubs here, but we're happy to have you.

Wow. This was really, really good. I'm usually not a fan of even mild angst, but I loved reading this. The way you described Pam's feelings at different moments and established the relationship between her and Jim was brilliant.
*It’s her place. Only, it’s not at all, not really.*
That broke me.

Loved this. Great addition to the "Pam finds her courage early," genre. I really liked that she was honest enough with herself to realize what all her feelings for Jim mean in addition to the lack of feelings with Roy. Nice take that Roy was fairly understanding of everything. Then a bit of tension with her waiting for Jim. The line where he was so used to waiting that he didn't know when to start was a great one. However once they're finally together it's all sorts of sweet.
Welcome to MTT and posting here. Looking forward to more.
