Oh, man. You got a LOT of the greatest hits in here. This is an adorable version of the teapot AND of the comic book at the same time - and I love the How to Kill a Mockingbird callback! And you put all that with an adorably drunk Pam confirming she thinks they have a long term future *and* Jim bombarding her with poetry? I bow to you, madame.
Author's Response: I'm just going to respond once here to all your very kind reviews! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the sprinklings of canon throughout the chapters, because that's probably my favorite part to write in an AU. Their relationship is indeed moving quickly, but it IS Jim and Pam, afterall. ;) Thank you again!

This is just simply the best. There's just so much to love about this chapter. Right from the start when Pam says she doesn't want a gift, so of course Jim gets her a gift, perfection in writing. And when we get there it's the teapot! If we couldn't have it at Christmas, this is probably the best other holiday to bring in the Teapot of Love. It's almost better than the canon one since this time when the Teapot is gifted they're already a couple. Still it's absolutely lovely. Same goes for Pam's gift to Jim. Great way to bring in her creativity with that one.
The Heart-o-Gram thing was a ton of fun. Loved how it's a way Jim can playfully tease her like that. Made for a great visual.
Drunk Pam curled up next to Jim on the couch though was a ton of fun. In vino veritas there Pam. And it's the best kind of truth too. She wants and is already thinking of forever with Jim. It's just adorable.
Likewise the pj dress. If there's anything I've learned from women it's that if a dress has pockets, and even better functional pockets it elevates said dress to one of the best pieces of their wardrobe. Like if anyone compliments her on the dress the response will be, "Thanks! It has pockets!" I'll tell you this much, if I had fiat power over women's clothing there are two things that would change immediately. Functional pockets and sizes based on measurements, not some arbitrary number.
Where was I again? Jim and Pam. Right. Them. Just a wonderful chapter here, as this whole story has been throughout. The kind of Valentines Day we love to envision them sharing. Beautiful work.

Yeah, don’t expect I, Aly, or TPB apologizing for hyping you up.
I love how adorable and innocent this is. Not *all* Valentine’s Days involve a humongous bed-fest, and how this ended LITERALLY gave me butterflies FOR Jim. I’d give another jellybean but I’m out of them

I will never apologize for harassing you if it means we get chapters like this out of it. This was everything and more. Pure perfection. I got drunk Pam, adorable fluff, a recreation of the teapot, I couldn't ask for anything else. Also I'm using Jim's shampoo poem this vday, even if I have to use it on my sister. It'll be done.
Author's Response: Your sister is a very lucky girl. Thank you for making me write this chapter!! :) And for liking it. And sharing a brain with me.

Author's Response: Thank youuuu! And thanks for all the encouragement, and ideas, and for letting me annoy you with my friendship. ;)
