just twenty minutes earlier, they'd locked eyes, and he'd been inside of her. And now the distance between them was so vast she feared they'd never even be able to have a real conversation again.
Oh MAN that's one of the most painful passages EVER. Wow the sex was intense and yes they would totally, after that fight, NOT speak as they had sex and then the lack of communication afterwards--how wonderfully you have mixed their intense attraction with their fundamental inability to use words honestly with one another. So well done, girl7. I am on pins and needles waiting for the rest.
Author's Response:
I am so glad to hear you say that the post-sex lack of communication rang true; I was really afraid it would come off as contrived. But I just keep thinking that they'd be so stunned after giving into it that way that they wouldn't be able to really think clearly, much less communicate (which they're not stellar at anyway).
Thanks so much for another thoughtful review!

Oh lord, that was so gut wrenching! I'm looking forward to the next chapter because I'm hoping for some resolution. Oh, and it was also very, very hot.
Author's Response: I promise resolution - happy Jim and Pam are my weakness; I don't often write stories wherein they don't end up together, because I can't stand the thought. :o) Thanks for reviewing!

My brain is broken. The emotions are raw, the sex quite steamy and the grief bone kicked. Amazing, as always.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much!

oh my God, could this possibly get more painful? I mean, seriously?
All board the Jam train, next stop: Angstville. Full-time smut service on board all cars.
*HUG*
Thanks. Bring them back!!!!
cheers.

Author's Response: I'm snickering at the train metaphor. But yesshh....smut, angst. Happiness and fluff are the next stop, though. :o) Thanks for reviewing!

GAH!!!!!!!!!! You leave us there?!?!?!? I've been putting this story off till it was finished but I broke and just read all the chapters! And now, I'm like, hyperventilating!!! She thinks he's moved on and he thinks she's moved on and *GASP*. Just say you love each other already! Ahhhh!
..Ok, I think I've gained composure. I really love this fic! It's so very true to life with all the miscommunication. I think you really hit the nail on the head with what they think but fail to say. You never disappoint, girl7! Now, get your type on! [/Andy] Or should I say, [/Drew]?
Author's Response: I really loved your review - love hearing what rings true for people. :o) And I'm glad I didn't disappoint you -- thanks for the review!

Up against the wall! That's kind of the way that I've always envisioned it too for them. Fighting and then charging at each other. Please keep the chapters coming!
Author's Response: No kidding - I think that's just what they need to do: Have it out and then have at each other. :o) Thanks for reviewing!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Oh, please update soon so I don't die! I am absolutely defeated by the end of this chapter. Cry! Weep!
Author's Response: Ah! Don't die!!!!! :o) I'm glad you liked it - happier stuff's coming! Thanks for the review --

wow! oh my goodness that was good....HOT and HEARTBREAKING all at once! I just want them to be honest with each other. Ugh, these two kids just kill me. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yay! Honesty's on its way.... Thanks for reviewing!

WHAT??? They just have some of the best sex ever (didn't they??) and now they are back to misinterpreting things?? Sigh...I thought they were finally making progress...
(not that I didn't love it, I did...I am just frustrated with fiction fiction Jim & Pam...they need to get it all out and then have non-misinterpreted sex...lots of it.)
Author's Response: I agree that they need to have loads and loads of non-misinterpreted sex. :o) Thanks for reviewing!

that is so sad.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I know. Working on a happy ending....
Thanks for reviewing!

GAH! It makes me a little mad to know that you get nervous posting a more "adult" chapter when in your fics, I'd say more than anyone else's, the smut is so deserved! I mean, you built up to it so well that there is nothing to blush about. This isn't PwP; it's so far removed from it. Anyway, I just wanted to say WOW what a good chapter. You explain both of their headstates so clearly as to make me understand and empathize with both of them, despite how sadly confused and wrong they are about each other. You make it so clear and so real! I can't wait for the end.
Author's Response:
First, I am SO sorry for promising an update over on TWoP and then disappearing; things got insane. But I seriously felt guilty about that.
Thank you so much for your kind words re: my racier stuff. I'm not sure where the hesitation comes in - maybe a force of habit...? But I'm glad you find it real; that's the best compliment you can give. :o)
Thanks for reviewing!

Gah. Oh my god. They're just... so freaking idiotic when it comes to the other. Hopefully you bash them both over the head with an obvious stick in the next chapter. :)
Author's Response:
Well I don't have an obvious stick, but I do have a magic truth-telling potion for Pam. Hmmm.... ;p
Thanks for reviewing!

Aaaaargh!
"It was a wildly surreal moment, staring in her eyes while he was inside her, both of them gasping for breath; he could've sworn that she was in love with him just from the look on her face...though he still couldn't be sure, didn't know what the hell they were really doing here." If it looks like a cat, and sounds like a cat, and leaves cat prints, dammit, it's a cat! Yes, she's in love with you, you idiot.
Glad to know you won't be leaving us like that for too long. And, if we don't get to the "happy, happy, joy, joy" in the epilogue, well... you know what they say about evil and hobbits.
Author's Response:
I am short like a hobbit, but I am generally not evil. At least, I try not to be anyway. :o) I will give you happy happy joy joy in due time, I promise!
Thanks for reviewing!

Oh man. I never thought I'd see sex between Jim and Pam as something as devastating as this. God, will someone just say SOMETHING? *sigh* I really can't wait to see how you envision them coming back from this and getting some kind of a happier ending (oh, gosh, I hope you envision them working it out!)
Though I loved that sex with Jim included the phrase "She didn't exhale until she'd taken him all in..." :D
Excellent chapter. More, please!
Author's Response:
Oddly enough, this fic was borne from the idea of there being this incredible awkwardness after the sex. I usually write it as they both spill their guts, have sex, and it's all wonderful and dreamy. I wanted to explore what it'd be like if they had impulsive sex without figuring things out first, and I though it could be realistic that they'd feel awkward afterward, you know?
Thanks so much for the review!
Date: April 16, 2007 04:53 pm Title: Chapter 10
Crickey, girl7, that was the best fighting followed by the best angry, then hot, sex I've ever read. All through the first half of the story I was saying, "fight, fight, fight!", then I was like "whoa, yessshhh!" during the sexing. And the awkwardness afterward??? Well, as per the show, I just want to grab their naked little bodies and knock some sense into them...and then send them off into Jim's bedroom with a big bottle of girl7's wine!
Nuff said. Now go write the next chapter and straighten those two silly kids out, ok?
Author's Response:
"Whoa yessshhhh!" Hee. ("Yessh" is my favorite Michael Scott-ism of all time.) Your saying you want to grab their little naked bodies then send them away with some of my wine is just about the funniest damned thing I've read in a long, long time. :oD
Thanks for reviewing!

Holy mother of effing GOD. -fans self- I was on the edge of my seat there.
They make me so extraordinarly mad sometimes, you know? Because they lack communication skills. Okay, all the time. Ack, I'm still tingly.
I need fluff now.
Author's Response: They definitely lack communication skills; I would love to lock them in a room and force them to talk. Or whatever. :o) Fluff is on its way soon! Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 16, 2007 04:00 pm Title: Chapter 10
I hope they get over their communication problems in the next chapter...because sex that hot should never have that awkward an aftermath! I trust you completely with the epilogue.
Author's Response: I promise your trust will not be unfounded; I will make it right. :o) Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 16, 2007 03:39 pm Title: Chapter 10
I'd read (most of) this before and I was still on the edge of my seat, hanging on every word. THAT is a testament to how well written it is. The intensity of the sexage was perfectly calibrated to the huge emotional charge you built between them...it had to go KABOOM. And did it ever. Oh my.
And, off track but - on this read thru, when she's unpacking dishes, I noticed the callback to the earlier chapter where Jim is doing the same thing. Nice subtle parallel. They're in sync in so many ways - and now we know that applies to every aspect of their...uh, interaction. Please update soon - I can't bear for Pam to leave Jim all confused and defeated. And after that session...well, as they say, you can't just eat one oreo...and Jim is the ultimate-Oreo. Chocolate coated, double -stuffed.
Author's Response:
"The intensity of the sexage" is the best phrase ever. :o) And him kissing her waist? That was the James Purefoy/Marc Antony shoutout. (When he did that to Cleopatra...guh.)
I love your reviews because they're always so damned satisfying and thought-provoking, I swear. And oh yes, Jim is the ultimate Oreo. Mmmm. :O)
Thanks for reviewing and beta-ing; you're the best!

... You are so mean. But that was also unbelievably hot. If this thing has a happy ending, then you may be forgiven. ;)
But really, that was an awesome chapter, even if it shaved off 5 years of my life. It's still awesome.
Author's Response:
Oh, but that ending was happy - weren't you paying attention? ;oP (I'm totally kidding.)
I will make it up to you, I swear - and oh my god, the shaved 5 years comment killed me! Thanks so much for reviewing!

Did you know words can kill? Yes, they can! Seriously, that chapter was beyond intense. Man. They can't have a proper fight, and then they have earth-shattering sex and end up thinking the other doesn't want them. Stupid people. Stupid (fictional, I know) people!
Author's Response:
Well I have heard that secrets secrets are no fun, so.... :o) I don't know why I feel compelled to write them in such a frustrating way; god knows TPTB do a good enough job as it is. :o)

nooooooooo! No! i have faith in you, girl7, but you get their tension, misunderstanding, and ways of dealing with awkwardness WAY TOO WELL! And yeah, no matter how in sync two people can be, if they're not communicating, there is NO WAY they can understand each other. Gah. Please, don't leave my heart broken for too long!
Author's Response: Oh, I'm really glad to hear you say that -- thanks so much ! And I will make it better soon; I promise.... :o) Thanks for reviewing!

Gah! Only Pam & Jim could misinterpret getting naked and having hot sex as somehow meaning the other one wasn't interested!!!!
And you can take as many chapters as you need to tell your story -- I'll keep reading them!!
Author's Response:
Heh - I hope that was believable! I was really hoping it didn't come off as contrived (like, hello, how could they not know??). Ah me.
Thanks for reviewing - you rock!
