New fan of The Office, but totally obsessed nonetheless. Jam's my jam.
Pam's teapot shatters, much like the last of her resolve.
Set Season 3 (you know this about me by now...)
1 Okay, first of all, DWIGHT. I'm IN LOVE. I would read a million fics of Dwight protecting Pam if it meant he acted like he did in this story. My heart.
The rest of it was adorable. I love that the teapot meant so much to her not only because it was a literal gift from Jim but because she put so much more meaning into it than he originally planned. This was beautiful.
Author's Response: The Dwight/Pam friendship is one of my favorite things! (As you can probably tell). Thanks so much!
1 Super, duper cute!! I could totally picture this happening, Pam reminiscing and Jim just making her feel so good about her and them. Ugh, my heart. Adorable, great job!!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you! I'm so happy that came across well!
1 So cute!! I love the idea that the rain is so important to them and their relationship. It's adorable. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you!
1 First of all, I read the description to this and went to youtube to remind myself of the scene, and the deleted scenes for this episode was the second video in my recommendations, so if that's not the government watching me then idk what is.
But this was great, I also wondered what made Pam bring up Katy in that scene since Jim and her were so long ago. I'm glad they at least got something out of it though (;
He was never meant to end up here, to meet her, and to have his life changed forever.
1 This is PERFECTION. Absolute perfection. I don't even know what to say it's so good. I love how Pam was so nervous but then so obviously enjoyed herself by the end of it. Beautiful.
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much Aly! I'm so glad you finally had a chance to read it and enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the review!
1 Every chapter I read makes me fall more and more in love with this story. I love the way they talk, especially to each other. It's truly amazing. I could read this all day and never get tired of it. I can't wait to see what awaits them in Pennsylvania
1 Okay, I ADORE Grégoire and Eleanore! I really hope we get to see more of them in future chapters. I'm also really looking forward to meeting this Schrute fellow you mentioned, whoever that may be.
I love that Larissa already loves Pam, as she should. I was so hoping that James's entire family would immediately love Pam but realistically I know that wasn't probable, so I'm glad that Larissa and seemingly Peter like her at least. I can't wait to see if Betsy warms up to Pam and how James's father reacts.
And then that ending? You wouldn't think this chapter could get any better and then you go and give us an ending like THAT and my mind is blown. I love how infatuated James is with Pam and that he is finally coming to terms with his feelings for her, no matter what his family or the other townfolk may think of his decisions about her.
I was so excited to see this had been updated and now I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: I adore them too! It's a bit of an indulgence, I have many German and French friends living here and I just had to include that somewhere. Thank you so much!
1 Oh, Bored. This story just makes me feel like I'm right beside them. It is written SO beautifully. Jim rejecting Katy's advances and then Pam standing up for herself at tea? It was amazing. I love whenever Jim defends Pam, whether it's to Roy, his family, Katy, whoever. You can tell how much she truly loves and respects her as a person. And Pam finally saying I love you too. Broke my heart in the absolute best way possible. The Shakespeare quote was just the cherry on top. I loved this chapter so much, and I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you Aly, so very much! I'm so happy that his love for her is really translating. This is *his* story and I wanted to convey that.
1 I don't know how many times I can tell you I love this story before you start to not believe me. You write this so beautifully, I can easily imagine every word you say. I loveee when Jim stands up for Pam. It's one of my favorite parts of this story. How much he truly cares for and loves Pam (and how much she truly cares for and loves him) is just what dreams are made of. I also like Julienne so far! I hope we will be able to see more of her.
Author's Response: I don't think I can hear it enough, I promise you! Thank you so much, Aly. It really is fun writing them this way. Julienne will have an impact, for sure. Thank you!
Oh nooo. I get why Jim published those articles, but I sincerely hope that nothing happens to him or Pam because of it. I am still loving Julienne, her bluntness is great. And then of course there's Jim and Pam. Ugh, I don't think I will ever get over them in this universe. They are perfect in every way. I loved this chapter!
Author's Response:
Sorry I'm just getting to this--(it's me, I'm terrible ;) )
Thank you so much, as always, Aly!
I was agreeing with Jim that his birthday spent in the bed chamber with Pam sounded like a lot more fun but by the end I am so so so glad that they had the party. I love Markus already. And Jim and his mother's moment during his party was just beautiful. I am so glad that she is fond of Pam now. Speaking of which, Pamela Morgan Beesly. Ugh. This might be my favorite version of Pam. I just freaking adore her and Jim together in this. They are adorable and mesh SO well and you can tell they are just soulmates here. "I need to take a closer look." Kill me. Bored, you're a genius and so talented and teach me your ways please.
Author's Response: Same! James had the right idea. ;) You are always so wonderful in your comments. Thank you so so much.
*sigh* I'm in love with this story. Like, take Jim and Pam's love for each other in this story and that's my love for it and for you for creating this beautiful world. I don't know how you made shaving into a scene I will forever remember and reread, but you did. "Don't distract me." "Yes, ma'am." BORED. I needed a minute. I think I still do. Never stop, please.
Author's Response: Haha you picked my favorite lines. I was so unsure how any of this would be received so I'm so glad you like it. :) Thank you!
This makes me very, very happy as well. My heart soars with the eagle’s nest. Their talk in the stable, the little touches and hugs and comments just melted me. And then when she said she might be pregnant, I think I died a little in the best way possible. These two own my whole heart.
Author's Response: The own mine too if I’m being perfectly honest. :) Thank you as always!
I finally finished this story, and it is oh so bittersweet. Ive told you this before, but I could read this story forever. I sincerely hope book 2 comes out asap as possible, because I will be waiting impatiently for it. James and Pamela have and aways will steal my heart, I adore them so much.
Pam lets Roy take her home after Phyllis’ Wedding.
Sometimes you just listen to Tegan and Sara’s entire discography, get lost in your feels about early Grey’s (particularly that time Meredith slept with George) and write this…
1 Okay, I LOVE angry Pam. Sad Pam is horrible only because I feel so bad for her (but she was still beautifully written). And then the ending was adorable. Great story!! I loved it!!
Author's Response:
Thanks aly! I kind of love angry Pam too. She’s got spirit.
1 This was so cute!! Oh how I wish Pam would have told Jim she loved him too on Casino Night. But this was a great replacement. Great job!!
Author's Response: That would have been a dream!
1 Oooooooh this is gonna be good. I love that Jim got to see her break up with Roy too. I can't wait to see what comes next
Author's Response: Well, I hope what I write next lives up to your expectations! Thanks for your encouragement.
An AU version of Season 3's "Beach Games." What if Karen wasn't there for beach day? What would that mean for Pam and Jim? A little romance with a touch of mild angst.
1 Now I really wish that Karen hadn't have gone to the beach on the show lol. This is great, though! I'm excited to see Jim's thoughts!
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy it. I just posted chapter 2, where we'll definitely be seeing into Jim's head.
1 I'm voting for Pam!! This is great, makes me wish more and more that this is how it had actually gone down!
Author's Response: Thanks for voting! I hope you get the chance to read my next chapter to find out who wins. And yes, if I had my way, every minute of the show would be about Jim and Pam, lol, much as I love the other characters.
1 ugh the whole "Even though I came back, I felt like I never really came back" "Well I wish you would" kills me every time. Great chapter! I love how Pam won the sumo challenge lol
Author's Response: Thanks for that :)
1 I was literally about to start yelling at you about why do you have to do this to me when I saw the authors note and it made me laugh so I'm less angry. But, Coley, why. Ugh my heart hurts but you know I'm going to keep reading this because I need to know when Jim comes. Couldn't your insomnia make your write Farmer Jim or Mob Jim?? Or More Spins???? On the bright side, least it's not Ryan, or at least I'm assuming it's not Ryan since I assume she would know who Ryan is in this universe.
Also, this was great I loved the banter and this makes me want to hang out with Pam in a bar.
1 I came back to say that I'm dumb because I just realized that this is Danny. Which makes this marginally better, but if Jim doesn't fit into this somewhere I'm still upset
1 I think this is my favorite chapter so far. Pam super happy and excited over fancy plates? Yes, please. Pam pissed off because Jim broke one of her fancy plates? YES PLEASE. I really cannot wait for more angry Pam, and I know more of it is coming. Also, I know Jim and Pam are end game here, but I have a bad feeling Alex is going to play a role in this, even if it's a small role, that I won't be happy about. Also, I really hope that the taped-off half rooms comes into play later on because I LOVED that.
1 I am so stoked that this was updated! Druggie Jim is so great. I'm glad we're slowly starting to get more of his backstory, and that him and Pam are now possibly on the road to liking each other... eventually. This was a great chapter!!
1 I am so excited to see this Jim come to life once Pam meets him. I can already tell this story is going to be legendary.
