The real meaning of Pam finding her voice with help from someone special.
Covers selective mutism and anxiety.
Was originally posted as A Picture Is Worth More Than A Thousand Words then I deleted it by accident!
Oh god, Pam being so excited for the field trip, only to sit in the corner of the bus and watch the trees. My poor heart!
The watercolour of the building!!!!
Have I mentioned I adore this?
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much!
Another awesome chapter. And no, youve not been too harsh with Karen, I could totally see how acting like this. Love Dwight in this. And Jim having the best bus ride of his life? Heart eye emojis all round
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad y’all are ok with Karen haha!
Absolutely don’t apologise for any delay! Although I had been missing this, but then realised I missed a chapter 😱
The bobble head!!! Can’t wait to see what happens!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy it!!
How could I possibly get bored? This is the cutest. I love this little gift exchange. And the hug! Oh bless them
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much! Was in need of that reassurance haha!
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much! Was in need of that reassurance haha!
You were right, I did love it! Poor Pam being called on like that. But Jim jumping to the rescue? Of course he did, even though it was so hard for him. As a fellow dyslexic I know just how hard that is to do, so it was a HUGE thing he did for her. Can’t wait for more!
Author's Response: Aw I’m so glad! Please let me know if I misrepresent anything or say anything wrong. I don’t have dyslexia myself, but I do have a family member with it so I’m certainly no expert at it! Sorry!
Definitely still enjoying your wonderful story! You write it so beautifully. Don’t apologise for any mistakes! But if you do want a beta, feel free to give me a shout on Discord and I’d be happy to help!
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much, that is so kind! So glad you are enjoying it still!
I love how excited Jim is here! And Pam painting the swings! 😍
Author's Response: Aw thank you so much! I’m glad you were able to tell it was swings… was a little nervous able out that!
Yay you’re back! I’m excited for the art show, but I’m bracing myself for a world full of angst 😭😭
Author's Response: Aw thank you!! Don’t worry too much, although I would brace yourself a little 😂
Yay you’re back! Loved this. So sweet Helene and Holly discussing how Jim is the key. And Michael buying the painting!
Im not sure how I feel about your end note there 😬
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
*insert gif of messy haired SGN John Krasinski saying ‘what are you doing?’*
My heart, oh my heart
Author's Response: I’m so sorryyyy
Author's Response: I’m so sorryyyy
Oh my god, Pam. So beautifully written but so much pain!! Please please bring Jim back to her!
Author's Response: I’m sorry! And don’t worry too much…
Pam finally spoke!!! And what perfect first words that were actually Pam's last! Please for the love of god bring Jim back to her!!
Sad this is almost finished, it's been amazing
Author's Response: Thank you!!
1 Welcome to MTT and congrats on your first story! Thanks for your sweet little note on the favourite author bit, not sure how to reply to it! But there's always Discord where you can come and chat!
Author's Response: Thank you!!!!
1 Can't wait to find out where Jim is taking them!
Author's Response:
Working on it now! 😊♥a039;
thank you for the review!
1 Jim’s really looking after her well here 😉
The use of the song was clever, and good advice from Morgan!
Seems like Roy really did a number on Pam, but I really hope by the end of this he’s going to be long forgotten!
Author's Response: :) yes, there will be a lot of talking in the next chapters, mixed with spicy time of course.. but there will be a whole lot of healing-in-relationship stuff that happens to help close Roy out of her mind.
1 I'm glad they're both communicating better now! Hope they keep it up when they get home!
Author's Response: They absolutely will! Lots of good stuff to come between them!
Pam is initially anxious, nervous and timid but will grow in confidence. Jim is confident and self-assured but will show lovely vulnerability.
If ethical non-monogamy isn't your thing, move along. This is our JAM love with a 'love affairs and relationships look different from the outside' twist. Lots of smut for the sake of pure smuttiness.
All events from the series still happened, but they are going to take some different turns.
This will be a series, not sure how long, but all starting from a place inspired by the AU "The Unicorn" created by Big Tuna in the future, and started in episode-centric events.
1 Love the shout out to Ryan Reynolds here 🤣
Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Author's Response: Gotta lay the groundwork for some very spicy stuff later 😳🤪
Oh they’re definitely flowing in a playful way in this universe. Seems Pam is great at sales :p
Author's Response: She could sell me paper! Lol! Having so much fun with these two… and I have my last chapters already written… now I need to get them to that future!!
1 This was a lot of fun, who wouldn't want to body paint with Jim Halpert?! Nice work :)
Author's Response: Hehehe! Agreed! Thought it would be a great way to blend Pam’s two passions.. haha!
1 Jim and Pam do like their nice mornings. Wonder what’s going to go down in the garage.
Author's Response: Hehe! Even I don’t know YET! They told me to write that and we shall see what happens!
1 We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto 🤣🤣
Seems like everyone had a pretty good time here, wonder what these three are going to get up to next…
Author's Response:
HAHAHAHAHA! Excellent summation! (And how the heck did you get your emojis to show up?! Lol!!)
You are so right, nowhere near Kansas! I believe all of this is headcanon for why a lot of stuff happens later in season 8 & 9 (and this chapter held a couple Easter egg moments for later chapters about it).
As promised though, there is no breakups… and, can’t wait, no almost breakups… I truly hope everyone really enjoys this off the rails AU headcanon of mine.
She was totally overthinking borrowing gloves. It's just that they were from a friend that she absolutely, definitely, had a secret crush on that she was trying very hard to suppress.
My submission for the Christmas 2022 Challenge.
1 Glad you stopped lurking and posted! Congrats on your first story!
Super cute, I LOVE the idea of Pam taking off her engagement ring when no one can see and pretending she's holding Jim's hand. Her secret gift to herself, omg that's too cute
Marina sounds like a lot of fun!
1 Great way to get all your elements in here! And really like this, just wished they'd have kissed!!
Looking forward to seeing more from you!
1 This was a really great look at Roy and Pam’s relationship and seems pretty canon like. I really like how you think it’s Jim watching her at the wedding, but the reveal that it’s Dwight actually looking out for her. Great job with this one!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!! I tried to keep it vague enough, because as much as we all adore Jim I think that leads to other bonds being ignored.
What started as a single little one-shot of what may have happened after Stress Relief. (Jim was panicked, Pam was scared. They needed a place to feel safe.) This has now become a little series of vignettes I can't let go of.
Enjoy!
1 I really like Jim the protector coming out in this one, and even though Pam is totally safe, he really wants to take care of her anyway he can. Nice work
Author's Response:
💜thanks💜
I felt that episode got off a little too easily with not having Jim carry out anger with Dwight, as say we saw him push back at Michael over the Golden Ticket fiasco. I wanted to see a little bit more and so I turned it a different direction towards his worry with Pam.
