Wonderful story.  I loved that even though it had to come to this (Roy & Jim actually fighting) that at least it got Pam to finally admit to some feelings for him.  Just so wonderful written.  And the last line...perfect.

"Thanks for fixing me."

They both need fixing- and it can only happen when they're finally honest like this. Beautiful, beautiful.

Just when I think I've read all of the post-Cocktails scenarios, you write this and just take my breath away!  Wow, seriously... I love the way Pam tells Jim about Roy, I love that Jim tries to pass his injury off as "a nosebleed" at first, I love the total Raiders of the Lost Ark moment with the kissing where it hurts bit.  Yeah, you got my two weaknesses, Jim Halpert and Indiana Jones-era Harrison Ford.  You win at life. 

Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much! It's such a big compliment to hear that this is different that all the post-"Cocktails" stories, because there's so many of them! Thanks for letting me know what parts of the story you enjoyed the most! And wow, I totally don't remember that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" scene you and NEJ mentioned, but I think I need to see that movie again. Thanks so much, again!

Aw, this is really sweet.  I am SO schmoopy for Jim/Pam right now.  Mannnn.  Jim and Pam!


Author's Response: Thank you!!

Oh jeeze. I don't know what was the most exquisite in this story: the steaminess (every time his hand tightened on her waist, I thought I was going to DIE), the sadness right before the end (I'm still tearing up over here), or the extreme happiness I feel now that I've reached the end.

You must have a purple belt in awesome fic-writing.



Author's Response: Thanks so much, especially for pointing out the parts that you liked the most. I love the and on her waist thing too! I'm glad it was effective. Thanks for reading!!

And as Pam felt the tears begin to dry on her cheeks, she heard Jim say, "Hey..."

She looked up at his bruised face, and felt a lump form in her throat again.

"Thanks for fixing me."

And I'm crying. That is one of, if not the, best ending lines I've see. (And I've read my share of fic... in fact I've read many people's shares of fic...)

 Just beautiful!



Author's Response: WOW, what a compliment!! I'm so glad people were affected by that last sentence. I was worried that the double meaning might be too subtle. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!

"Thanks for fixing me." 

Officially one of my most favorite lines EVER!



Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so glad people liked that last line!

Loved the "where does it hurt" scene. Reminded me of one of my favorite scenes in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but this one had a better outcome!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! That's my favorite scene of the story, too!

This seriously just made me tear up.  "How many times did he hit you." "Um, three times."  Yikes!  I'm glad Jim got one in there even though I hate fighting.  The end was super sweet!  Eh.  You know your stuff is always good...what else can I say?

Author's Response: Thanks so much!!

I think this may be my favorite post-Cocktails story yet. Just such a quiet, simple, tender moment between them, no melodrama or heroics. So romantic and hearfelt when she kisses his face, around the boo-boos. And wonderful last line.

Author's Response: Ah, thanks so much, Colette! You leave the best reviews! Im so thrilled that you got out of it everything I tried to convey!

awww.....that felt so nice.  :-)  Warm fuzzies are so needed right now - you did a great job!!!


Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, this is very nice.  I love Pam's quick warning to Jim, and then Karen comes in, so that's it.  It's like the "stealth warning". 

Jim's "Not your fault." is straight from Casino Night - LOVE THAT!  And then Pam's "Things are so screwed up." is great.

Really enjoyed this.  Okay, is it sick that I love Strong!Bloody!Injured!Jim?  Or do we all love him? 



Author's Response: I knew that "Not your fault." Sounded so familiar!! I could hear Jim saying it in my head, but for some reason, I forgot it was from "Casino Night"!! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
