XOXO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMGYEY!!!!
I love that fluff is in the title. And that even with all the deep conversation, Jim is still staring at her underwear. Classic.
I told him I kissed you..." she'd said, not the other way around.
I absolutely think that the writers are setting us up for something really good with all this.
Also, I really love that she asks him how he'd been able to do it (on Casino Night) since it was so hard for her (twss!).
It's all just lovely (a couple of typos here and there, though).
Thanks so much.
cheers.

Hey Lex - I know. I think her choice of words is very important. It's so funny to see other people's take on what I write because Pam's "How did you do it?" in my mind was her asking Jim how he'd managed to move on with Karen when she's clearly stuck. But it works either way.
And next - you can't mention typos without telling me what they are!!!! So email me please - because I've looked at this sucker too many times and ran it through spell check once more since I got your review and can't catch anything else.
If it's verb tenses you're referring to - please point those transgressions out to me as well. Thanks so much! :)

Yay! My first shout out (I'm timbuck2 on TWoP).
As always - you don't disappoint. I love your Jim and Pam and I loved their conversation here because it was simple and honest. Perfect!
Author's Response:
You deserve it. :) I honestly had no idea what to do with this. As I said - all I could think of was them doing laundry...maybe some sexual tension over the fact that they both might be washing undergarments...but when I sat down this is what happened. So there you go!
Feel free to send any other ideas my way if you'd like. Sometimes my brain manufactures these bits of fluff all on it's own but other times I'm desperate to write but am in serious need of direction. ;)

Oh this was so yummy. If only doing laundry was this interesting.
Author's Response: Yeah really. And if only anyone looking remotely like Jim Halpert frequented the laundry room in my apartment building. :)

Yeah, when xoxoxo puts "Fluff" in the title of the story, you know it is going to be feel-good gold. Gold, baby!
After you left me.
I always like stories in which Pam acknowledges feeling abandoned by Jim (and those in which Jim admits to how angry and frightened he is). So sweet, so simple, so perfect.
Author's Response:
It could do with a little more fluff perhaps - but it's just how the story wanted to be told in the end.
I agree with you. The stories I like the best are the ones where Jim and Pam both realize how wrong they've been - instead of Pam or Jim apologizing for their transgressions.
Glad you liked it!!

this is a perfect combination of angsty in the middle and sweet at the ends, and somehow the laundry just fits in with it perfectly. wonderful job!
Author's Response: Thanks Lyss! I was thinking of something much fluffier initially - but this is how it worked itself out. So glad you liked it.
