I can just see him laying there with a big happy smile on his face feeling light for the first time in... forever.

Plot suggestions, hmmm... I would recommend figuring out how you want to end this and work on filling in the gaps. Your pacing suggests this isn’t going to be ending soon, if you suddenly end after their first date I would really be surprised. It feels like a story that will take us a little further than that honestly.
It’s obviously already AU but do you want it to sort of follow the shows timeline or do you have a different life in mind for them? A tentative outline is always a good idea :)

I am curious how you will have him deal with Stamford and then her reaction to all of that. Things have been going pretty smooth for them so far so maybe some difficulties could arise from that situation??

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review! 

Admittedly, this is my first fanfic ever, and I didn't really have a solid plan in mind for how the story would end when I started. I obviously wanted (and still want) Jim and Pam to live happily ever after, but that was basically it. I will definitely take your suggestion and try to outline the story. I had originally thought that this fic would basically follow the show's timeline, but now that it seems Jim and Pam will get together a lot earlier than in the show, it seems that might change their future as well. 

In this story, Jim isn't taking the transfer. He hadn't decided yet before he confessed his love to her in the parking lot, and then once Pam made it clear she wasn't going to marry Roy he promised her that he would stay in Scranton. But I love the idea about the two of them going through hard times. a86;
