Ah what could have been. I really like that they finally break through all the BS and are 100% honest with each other here. Yes it hurts, but I think they realized the pain of losing each other would hurt worse. So a hard conversation and a hard decision to be sure, but it feels like they're back on track. Of course there could also be other consequences of everything so we'll have to see how this all plays out.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I wanted there to be a nice mix of optimism and angst, Jim's almost rash decision culminating in them getting back on track. I enjoyed writing this chapter the most, it's the most cathartic for me.

This is a refreshing take on this scene of the show. I like the approach you have taken with it.
Great job! :)

I love the premise here, and the fic to follow did not disappoint! You wrote both sides of their conversation so well and all of the angst came out so well
Really great job on this one
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I wanted something angst-ridden with a twinge of hope, and I’m glad that came across.
Thanks for the review!

*sigh* In a better world. And it cuts off the Brian subplot at its knees! It does seem like this is a moment where they could have stood some honest communication and they didn't really get the chance. And I appreciate you acknowledging that just like in canon, this doesn't necessarily magically solve everything.
A nice Season 9 AU!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Brian actually does come into play later, though, but there won't be any confrontation or anything. This is certainly more focused on Jim easing back into life with his wife and kids.
Thanks for the review!
