Glad they got their recognition for what they did and that Pete is back!
Again, all the details here really bring it to life. I can really imagine the new planes.
Lovely touch with Pam and Penny getting to see their men on the big screen.
And love the new name of the plane!

Author's Response: I found it really humbling when I did the research for those medals. I read a bunch of actual citations and the bravery of those men was amazing. It was a lot of fun to be able to add a "Jim look to camera" here too. Glad you like the plane's new name as well.

So happy Roy is already out of the picture. Don’t think I could cope with him AND a war at the same time!
Loved Packer’s pants falling down and then to find out it was Jim was great!
Very happy Pam was bold enough to say she wanted to stay after getting lost in Jim’s eyes.

Author's Response: One of the reasons I felt Pam in canon stayed with Roy so long is she didn't really get any perspective on him. I always figured they moved in together kind of early. Thus, a Pam who HASN'T done that is more able to see the fault of that relationship. Packer deserves so much more than a de-pantsing, but this felt more Jim's style. And why mess with a great thing? Always a treat to have Jim and Pam fall for each other quickly.

Oh my god I loved this day! You brought it to life so amazingly well. It’s so fluffy and wonderful. Loved the hot sauce and mini golf pencil making appearances too!

Author's Response: This was a fun chapter to write for sure. Make sure they start out in a good place and bring in some fun elements from canon as well. Glad you liked it so much.

Well first off, amazing amount of detail for all the the flying part. You must have done so much research! Really made it feel so realistic.
I really liked the way you moved the story forward of Pam moving to live with her sister so simply but so effectively. And then to have her appear working there as the secretary was just great! Loved the whole Ryan interaction there too, really great canon replication there!

Author's Response: Aviation and military history have long been areas of interest for me. I'm getting to indulge in both with this story. Even better I found some old WWII training films on YouTube about a lot of these things which really helped guide a lot of this. One of the best things about "The Office" is the workplace dynamic Jim and Pam share. I wanted to bring some of that into this story as well, so Pam shows up in New York. It's been a lot of fun taking lines and scene from canon and twisting them around a bit with this too.

Loved the conversation between William and Jim, he’s a very wise man. Very funny with the bathroom incident. You captured all the busybodies at church so well, and it’s easy to see why Helene is so affected by it all.
Jim’s declaration and conversation with Pam’s parents was wonderful
Very glad Roy seems to be out of the picture. Hope he stays that way!

Author's Response: William has been a fun character to bring to life. Glad you liked that. Same the scenes at the house and church. It's a pretty big milestone for them. Meeting the parents and all. Makes sense to me there would be some big feelings come out of both of them. 

Oh. My. God. A League of Their Own!!!! I did not see this coming and I could not love this story anymore right now. I am SO excited for the next chapter!!! One thousand jellybeans to you.

Author's Response: A got a big grin when I read this review. We'll have a lot of fun with baseball going forward. 

Love love loved this. The proposal was so good, love how you worked the casino night dialogue and the proposal together, worked so well.
And there’s me wondering where Michael has been for this story. Well of course he’s Jimmy Dugan, it’s PERFECT!

Author's Response: There's also a bit from Paper Airplanes in there with the stuff from Casino Night and Weight Loss. The part where they touch foreheads together and say "I love you," at the same time.

Yup, there's Michael in all his glory. No where anywhere near any kind of weaponry. I mean could you imagine?

Christmas story in June? Why not!
And wow, this was just THE cutest fluff, I absolutely loved it!!
All of Jim’s cards were just so sweet and funny but Pam’s gift 😭😭😭 loved it!!!

Author's Response: Thanks as ever. Glad you liked all the cards. I wanted Pam to give Jim something really special and also classically her for their first Christmas. Glad it came across well.

How I have not read this fic so far I do not know. But boy am I glad you did an update and brought it to my attention, as it is SO GOSH DARN GOOD!! Getting to binge all 14 chapters has been the absolute highlight of the last two days.
It’s so wonderfully written and I am completely swept up in this world! Can’t wait for the next chapter!!

Author's Response: Thank you SO much! I think a binge read is absolutely the best way to do it. Thank you for taking the time to let me know you love it!

Very glad you picked this one back up! I love Jim, but absolutely he was a crappy boyfriend to anyone that wasn’t Pam, so I think you’ve totally nailed this. Looking forward to more!

Hurrayyy they have a date!!!
Loved Jim’s narration of the mini golf and excellent advice from Jonathan. Fun chapter!

Author's Response: That's what happens when you take good advice Jim, things work out well. Playful flirty JAM is always a treat to write for sure.

Well THAT was a proposal and a half! Wowzer! Could not have been more different from Roy’s ‘proposal’. This is the kind of thing Jim should have done, you smashed it out the park. Such a sweet fluffy fluff of a story. I loved it! Wish I could give you more jellybeans!!

Author's Response: Glad you liked it. I 100% wanted to draw comparisons between the two proposals and which one Pam would say yes too. Glad it paid off for you. Fun to write Jim using his creativity for good rather than just pranks. Thanks for reading.
