Ooooof. Oh, Pam. She was so close to taking a huge swing!
But presumably Jim can read the subtext of her showing up.

Oh my. Not what I was expecting but it is perfectly in character. Interested to see what Jim does about it, and Go Pam for doing that much!
Author's Response: Well... I didn't want them to just figure it all out right there and then. Where is the angst? Kidding.

I love the twist of her going to New York! This is super sweet and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I hope you like the rest!

Oooh, I wasn’t expecting this chapter to play out the way it did at all. I like that Pam’s whole thing essentially became her yogurt lid note. Somehow it’s similar to canon and completely different all at the same time. It’s amazing what that one change of not adding the note in at the time of copying the sales reports makes. I hope it prompts Jim to rethink things like it does so effectively in canon...
Author's Response:
Thanks very much, Jenna!
Indeed, it's more or less the same lines, in a more dramatic scenario.
And well... Jim wouldn't be Jim if he didn't take all of this into consideration, right? :)

Pam may not be one for huge grand gestures, but this still feels pretty big for her. If in canon her putting the yogurt lid and note in Jim's folder is her shifting things one degree, this feels more like her shifting things 5 degrees. For reference, to keep using this analogy I'd say Jim's CN declaration would be a 180 degree shift. Hopefully that makes sense.
Still I loved the courage that Pam has on display here. Great way to still use the events and lines from canon, but shift things around a bit. Can't wait to see how this wraps up.
Author's Response:
Thanks very much, W4!
The yogurt lid in the series is important, and it works nicely in terms of subtlety, but I wanted to push them both a little bit further. Pam doesn't do big stuff unless she is really feeling it, and I can imagine Jim leaving with Karen to NY would leave her feeling all sorts of things.
Pam won¿t get very CN, but she gets out some of her stuff and that's just... Pam.

So just caught up on this one. The characterizations here feel pretty on point, and the emotion is really raw. I could feel my gut twisting in the previous chapters as Pam just let him leave, and now the panic/elation/fear of confrontation. I love the way you ended this chapter, the little things Pam does speak volumes. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with to follow this up.
Author's Response:
Thanks a lot for reviewing! I'm glad you liked it...
From it outside it look like baby steps but these things are hard to Pam and I hope it shows.
Thanks again!

Oh, Pam. I feel her fear so vividly. That's right, she's not about grand gestures, but these tiny things she's doing... they are enormous.
I hope Jim will understand that.
Author's Response:
Pam is really trying her best, and yeah, in that sens this is a big deal.
Thanks a lot for reviewing!

This is so good Kuri! I haven't read many fics that take this direction so it feels like a really fresh take. I love how you describe Pam. I can imagine her being scared but brave. She's keeping the goal in sight.
Author's Response: Thanks very much for your review! I love the rare times when Pam just gets up and does stuff.

Ugh! Pam just say it!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing!
Pam wouldn't be Pam if she just went there and said stuff.

Author's Response: Thanks very much! I love that you love it!
