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.

Author's Response: I have been so bad at writing responses to reviews but I need to reply to this one!! You are so sweet. Thank you for loving it and reading it more than once! I miss English Jim as much as the rest of us, so...no promises...but it’s not completely off the table. Haha thank you so much!!!

This is absolutely lovely, very in-character and super-fluffy in all the best ways. You managed to get some high-quality JAM in there at the end too.
Cards on the table: I love that Pam would call Trump the "Giant Orange Cheeto" (occasionally used in my own household) and I love how supportive Jim is to both his kids. Kamala Harris is clearly a great role model to all young girls across the political spectrum for her achievements. You manage to convey this without being preachy.
This is an all-round triumph from my perspective!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I truly appreciate the review. I didn’t want to be preachy, only just show how important this is for so many girls especially girls of color today. It was an amazing day in our house and I felt like the Halperts needed a little of that excitement in their lives too. Cece is so fun to write, and I love writing little family moments. They warm my heart on icy days like today.

OK, so I was a UK student (in the 90s). We never went to Magaluf. But I did stay with a boyfriend in Palma Nova once. Split up with him there. Probably for the best as I met my now husband a few weeks later.
Just discovered this great story when I should be doing Tax Regulation training, even through the angst and the keeping them apart is driving me NUTS - it’s a must-read.
Author's Response:
Lol yeah to be fair, I think Magaluf is where everyone went when I was a student...which is probably out of date by now, not sure where the go-to place is these days. And nice! Sounds like that was definitely for the best haha.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review, really glad you're enjoying it (and sorry for the slow reply!) I have previously also managed to get through a surprisingly high volume of reading anything but the accountancy training modules I was meant to be reading, so know the feeling 😏

I absolutely love this. My favourite thing of yours to date.
Author's Response:
Well thanks so much. I wanted to do something holiday for the new couple.
I picture Pam as really loving the season and Jim, coming from a big family would be very much a holiday guy too.
It fills me with that same holiday cheer to get your review.
Thanks so much for letting me know you're enjoying.

I say “no” on the Jim/yoghurt combo (certainly on-screen), though what he does with Pam and yoghurt in the privacy off their own home is entirely their business! ;)
Author's Response:
Cheeky! I can only imagine.
More is coming - I'm so glad you are enjoying it. This was another one of those stories that just snowballed once I started writing and what's coming is like a snow day - you have to shovel through it but in the end you get a white Christmas and all the season's spirit.
THANKS so much for the review.

The more I’m reading of your stuff, the more I’m enjoying it. This was so sweet and fun, glad it’s going multi-chapter.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much - that's really nice to hear. I do feel like it's the inspiration of what I read here that helps me be a better writer myself. But it is always so nice to get affirmation that I'm connecting with others in what I write. I love to find minute little things from the show and give them a back story - kind of how Jenna said she got into character I try to do for my stories - and add some stuff of my own too.
Thanks for the kind words and HAPPY 2021!!!

OMG Warrior. This was just fabulous. So sweet and just - the best word I could come up with was "smoooshy". I love the idea of Penny and Larissa in cahoots, I love the fact this was several thousand words; and by the end I was a pile of pathetically mushy goo. All the good things!
Author's Response: Thanks grc! That's a new way someone has described something of mine. I like it. Smoooshy. Penny and Larissa being in cahoots is one of the best things ever. Who better to give Jim and Pam the kick in the pants they need than their siblings? Glad you liked it.
Summary: AU It’s summertime and Pam is the head counselor at camp Dunder Mifflin Scampton. When the cute new hire Jim Halpert causes more trouble than she bargained for, Pam takes him under her wing and the spark between them becomes harder to ignore. As their relationship shifts to something that could almost be mistaken for serious, Pam has to keep reminding herself that it’s nothing more than a summer romance.
