I really liked this concept! Setting up the importance of the falls with the flashback & having them both visit in times of turmoil. It definitely adds another dimension to their choice of wedding location in canon...
The flashback was very, very sweet. I enjoyed Pam’s prank and Jim’s spiel about it.
Is it the teapot letter that Jim’s contemplating throwing overboard?
I hope the falls answers them both - more so Pam in this instance...

Author's Response: Thanks Jenna. I wish I could let you in on where we're going with this, but what fun would that be? Stay tuned though and all your questions will be answered. It was fun to add that flashback with the prank and banter to give a start as to why the falls were important. I'm glad you liked it. As always I'm very grateful for your constant feedback.

This was so, so sweet. I love how you tied in the yoghurt lid medal and David Wallace’s ten year question. Very fitting to think back over on this anniversary.
This is everything I would want from them at this stage of their lives... It was the absolute sweetest. I can’t think of a better way to describe it. Thanks for taking us on this lovely anniversary journey. The link with the falls tying it all together was so well executed. Did I mention that it was very sweet?

Author's Response: I figured having the yogurt lid in the teapot would be a nice call back. Glad it worked out well. I've been to Niagara Falls several times in my life so it helps since I can easily picture everything. Thanks for following along with this story. Your words of encouragement are always welcome.

I’m down for any story where Pam embraces some of that Fancy New Beesly confidence. I’m interested to see where you go with this!

This was a fun update. Kelly is so very Kelly. Phyllis and her “gym at home” was also great. It was nice to see Jim stepping in and helping to put an end to the questioning. Looking forward to seeing how you wrap things up.

It’s great the phone call/voicemails the night before filter how Jim reads the text from Pam the morning after. It’s so true that he would have frantically pondered it without the context.
Pam thinking she was dreaming. Ugh. That hits right in the feels.
As far as I’m concerned Dwight and Pam’s friendship is one of the best parts of Season 3 so it’s lovely to see a nod to that.
I’ll admit it took me far too long to register that “don’t even think about it” is how Jim’s name is now set in her phone & oh my god it’s so good. It makes the fact she called him eight times all the more sweet.
The extra things that Pam has added to the teapot - be still my heart. It’s too much.
“Their laughter danced, twining together for the first time in way too goddamn long, before the song ended and they found themselves on opposite sides of the dance floor again” - this little passage is just perfection.
Their whole conversation was lovely. The reference to stealing Dwight’s car was a fun touch.
I love the song, it’s great to see it come to life like this. It’s a good fit for Season 3 JAM, that’s for sure.

Nice to see this all wrapped up (& sad to see it end all the same). I love the call back to the initial phone call/chapters & the mention of the University of Scranton account. I’ll admit, I wouldn’t have minded if you wanted to flesh out the date & everything that proceeded waking up the next morning in more detail, but it didn’t feel too rushed that it disrupted the flow - I just would have loved to see it. Thanks for taking us on this journey into what could have been!

Author's Response: So I forgot to respond to these last reviews on this one, sorry. Thanks so much for your feedback; I probably could have fleshed the date out but I'm always nervous about portraying that particular moment in their lives so...I tend to gloss over it. It's a habit/failing of mine. Thanks for all the reviews along the way!

Of course Jim Halpert is the kind of guy who would rent an apartment from his third grade teacher. Which leaves me wondering if Jim in third grade would have been lovely & charming or a complete an utter terror (but in that adorable, too cheeky for his own good kind of way)... Regardless, I’m glad to see it looks like Pam will have a new place to call home!

Author's Response: Thank you! We'll hear a little more about that coming up :)

Definitely adorable. It’s nice to see Pam coming to a bit of realization that there is an attraction there. Also great to see her defaulting to humor & it working very well to defuse whatever awkwardness/difference to Roy that may exist. Bring on the apartment hunting!

Author's Response: Thank you! Apartment hunting will commence shortly!

Oh my goodness, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love Pam in this chapter. This is the best version of Pam, bold, confident and able to acknowledge her own worth. There were so many great lines in this, but Pam’s realization that it wasn’t about her - so, so great.
I can’t wait to see how you get us to the HEA!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like her, and I hope you enjoy our run in home from here!

Ah, so very Michael... The little details about how he had annoyed the warehouse staff previously were a great touch.
You keep writing these wonderful chapters that end in such a way that all I can think is more please...

Author's Response: Thank you! I will do my best to get this one finished in a vaguely timely fashion.

I love seeing this side of Michael, at his heart he is so well intentioned and that’s what we see here. Dwight, grating on Jim all the more with Pam absent felt very true to character. Nice to see an update!

Author's Response: Thank you! I worry about my Michaels, so this is really nice to hear!

Congrats on your new little one! That definitely takes precedence over quick updating!

I loved how you incorporated Pam’s point of view on Jim’s drinking. It served a very strong purpose in the comparison with Roy. I was also very glad to see the chapter end with Pam frustrated & taking a step away from Roy. Although, I suspect it’s a little two steps forward, one step back for the time being...

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I'll probably update a bit slower with the kid...but we shall still see how Pam works out with the steps forwards and back.

Well, this was just adorable. I love a flustered Pam. Jim is delightfully Jim. It’s nice to see his dynamic with Dwight remain very much the same despite the delay in starting.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm enjoying writing the initial meeting as flustered; I hope you like flustered Jim as much as flustered Pam, because there will be heavy doses of both.
