Summary: “Karen, I don’t even have his phone number. It’s been four years since we last saw each other. When we broke up.” Pam emphasizes this last part as if Karen needs the reminder of her best friend’s personal history. “It’s not like… Look, I’m not going to fall in love with him again.”

Bio:
Bio:
Wife, mother (of children, not dragons, generally). Hopeless romantic, massive JAM shipper.
Also present on FanFiction.Net under the same name, where I wrote a fair number of stories for Bones, which for over ten years was the TV love of my life. Until now.
I’m still fairly new to The (US) Office, but as a Brit, I was really into the UK version and wasn’t too sure about this upstart US reboot, even with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s input. I’d seen a few episodes over the years, knew vaguely about the Jim/Pam storyline and that there was chemistry, but not really clicked on how good it was, and as for the rest, the little I’d seen? Well, Craig Robinson is Doug Judy in B99 to me, Rashida Jones - Ann Perkins in Parks and Rec; and I didn’t even know that Ellie Kemper and Ed Helms had been in it for several seasons, let alone James Spader and CATHERINE TATE?! Then I binge-watched it all the way through early in UK lockdown in Spring 2020 and suddenly it all clicked, and I fell hard for JAM. Really hard.
I’ve now watched some episodes several times, but I’m following via the Office Ladies podcast, so I’m really getting into the detail of the show itself as well as the love story.
In real life I have my own Jim (although his name isn’t Jim and he doesn’t work in paper, but he is lovely), two teenagers, a naughty Beagle and a cheeky Jack Russell. I work in the IT Industry.

So nice to have this story back, having to go back and read the whole thing again from the beginning, which is a pleasure in itself. Slight shades of Carrie and Aiden from AJLT (in a good way, let's hope that comparison doesn't come back to haunt me)
Author's Response: Oh thank you for the reread! That really means so much! And *gasp* because someone told me to watch that Carrie & Aiden date scene and it made me swooooon! Yes, here’s hoping all of our fictional ships sail into a happy ending.

I love seeing this version of Karen.
Best line of the chapter:
"“That thing you’ve always done. Stand in a room full of people and look at her like you’ve never seen a woman before.” Happy sigh.
Author's Response: Oh thank you! I had forgotten that line but I really think it describes him, right?

Please don't leave this another three years. I think you last updated it around the time I joined MTT. It's so, so good.
Author's Response: Yes, three years was too long. Thank you for hanging in there while these two dummies worked through some stuff in my head.
Summary: As WWII rages Jim is sent to England to serve as a fighter pilot. He and Pam send each other letters as conflict arises in the skies above Europe and back on the home front.

Great Chapter Warrior! Lovely to catch up with the Sirens! You've left this on a bit of a cliff-hanger though so I know I'd appreciate another update soon!
Author's Response: Thank you. It was well past time to see what Pam was up to that's for sure. I really appreciate you sticking around for this one considering how long it gets between updates, thank you very much.

*scrambles to find a morse code translator* awwwww, I loved the end of that chapter. And as an aside, I live about 45 mins away from Stansted (there’s no “a” in it, just for the record). Lovely chapter, Warrior, and weirdly I was just wondering the other day when we’d get another chapter of SW so really pleased to see this!
Author's Response: Glad you liked the Morse code and took the time to translate it. I just used Google maps to find the towns in the UK the guys ate based near. That's how it was spelled on my US version so that's what I went with. Thanks for the local info. Thanks for the review.

So nice to have this back again, and great to hear about the girls this time. I did have to go back and read the previous chapter first as it’s been a while coming, please don’t leave this great story quite so long to the next chapter!

Lovely to have this back again, Warrior, and congratulations on the landmark. That was a very satisfying chapter and really moved the story along. I loved reading the section in the baseball stadium, you captured Jim's PTSD really realistically, and nice touch having Griff propose!
I'm also really pleased you've started to directly address the love triangle.
Author's Response: Thanks. It was satisfying to write as well. There's been a lot of near misses with some plot points so I wanted to start clearing some of those up. Glad you liked it.

Utterly brilliant, Warrior. There is so much about this that I loved. The detail of the WWII elements, the resolution of the love triangle - all brilliantly done. I also love that you shared the contents of Pam’s letter to Roy, gave us great insight. Awesome!
Author's Response: Thanks grc! Glad you liked all the historical stuff as well as the plot line advancment. Pam's letter to Roy was a challenge for sure so I'm thrilled that it came across well.

I'm so glad you called it "Great British Bake Off" Warrior! You posted this before I joined in 2020 (wow, that's gone quickly) and I went back tonight to look at the John/Jenna footage from that year again, such fun, and I love how JK roped in David Denman! Lovely writing and so warm and fuzzy.
Author's Response: Thanks for going back and reviewing some of my old stories. My wife is a big fan of GBBO and at the time Jenna was making a lot of bread so it all seemed to fit rather well. The John and Jenna stuff was just to fun not to bring in, same with David Denman being there at the game with JK. Glad you liked this one, it was a lot of fun to put together.

This is absolutely adorable and beautifully written, my teeth may actually fall out due the quality and quantity of sweet fluff in this piece!
I love how you've called back to some of their moments and just their reactions - so very, very accurate.
This series could go on and and on as far as I'm concerned. I love the whole "Jamie and Morgan" series anyway, this is one of my favourite moments. More please!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you grc. I'm glad you liked this one so much. This was fun to write. Whenever I watch that scene I couldn't help but think what was going through Pam's mind. So why not write it out?

Summary: Set after The Secret in S2, Dunder Mifflin Scranton embarks on a week-long retreat at a nearby campsite. Jim and Pam are forced to share a cabin, as well as dealing with the consequences of Jim's confession that he 'used to' have a crush on her. What'll happen?
Also, after John Krasinski got his muscles (I use the word 'got' lightly, since there was clearly a very long and rigorous process involved that I completely respect), he made a joke saying that he also had muscles on The Office. I know this wouldn't have been the case, but part of me likes to think this is canon, if you get what I mean :)

Again, how did I not review this already, it’s one of my favourites; but not for a sexy reason, but that actually it was how my late dad used to shave. I used to sit and watch him shave when I was a little kid, I was fascinated by it, so the description of the shaving brings back happy memories from my childhood. Sadly my husband is an electric shaver kind of guy (and mostly has a beard these days!)
Author's Response: You're not the only one who has said this story has brought back fond memories of a loved one. I'm honored I was able to trigger some good thoughts. Thanks for getting back to this one to leave a comment.

Two months after her husband dies, Pam receives a gift from him that helps her in more ways than she could ever imagine. Now it’s four years later and she’s finally ready to start dating again, but just like everything else in her life, it gets a little messy.
AU based off of The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. If you’ve read the book, this plotline will be pretty similar while still incorporating characters/references/small plotlines of The Office as well as possibly my own little twists.

What a great song! And I loved this, so well written. I’m with you that they didn’t sleep together on their first date - would have just been too soon after Karen.
Author's Response:
Isn't it? The Jillian Edwards version is actually my preferred version - I love her voice - but it came out after this would have taken place.
Still, Bright Eyes is an Indie Rock band similar to Travis so it made sense to me Jim would like them and share with Pam over earbuds to the point she would come to love the song too.
I'm glad you agree it was too soon after Karen. I keep coming back to the fact that that morning he woke up in a hotel room, in a bed with Karen and having him sleep with two different women in less than 24 hours, especially if one of those women was the love of his life, was just too tainted, too well just yuck.
Plenty of time for that later. Not sure when yet but let's see where this goes.
Thanks for your compliment about the writing. I was so swept away writing this chapter, I'm glad to know it didn't come off like a fever dream no one but me could understand when reading back.
Thanks for sticking with this story, with all the amazing writing on this site, it's nice to know my stories are being read among them. Thanks for the review and the jelly beans - they always are so lovely to receive.
In fandom.
