What a powerful chapter. I loved Jim's Mom's advice - and am anxious to read that book myself. I especially loved this line:
"It was one of those overwhelming moments – delicious in its promise, devastating given the reality in which they lived – that made him feel completely disarmed."

You are continuing to break my heart (oh but in such a good way). I look forward to each and every chapter.

Love that the questions about Katy are really about him. Perfect.

Oh, an awesome moment between these two. "I'm trying... I really am." Eeee.

Great conversation and inner monologue for Jim!

Pam - get a clue! I love the part about 10 year olds and friendships - I actually miss having friends like that. Your stories make me all kinds of nostalgic.

yes - part 2 pretty please? the last sentence made me tear up too. And I have to admit that reading fan suggestions for Jim & Pam related songs has turned me into a Snow Patrol fan (I can credit you for that!) and made me rediscover my love for Travis !

Wow...that's amazing. The parallels to The Awakening are definitely there.
Can I just say, CriticalReader!Jim is even hotter than the regular kind?

The Injury is my favorite so far! Can't wait to see what's next.

so sad.

You have a real knack for making me cry, but sort of smile at the same time. This is my favorite chapter, by far. Seriously, the parallel with the book is amazing. I've got to read it now. The last passage that you described pretty much sums Jim up, too, which is weird. This was so, so awesome.

Hee! Oh my god, the first half broke my damn heart but the second half made me giggle and bounce in my chair. I love the "Mr. Michael" part more than words can express. Oh, my god.

Beautiful chapter. I almost started crying. I listened to the song while I was reading the chapter and just...wow. This was amazing. I can't think of any other way to describe it. Thank you.

Are you seriously considering not?? Gahh! Woman! Or rather... ahem... uh...what I mean is... pretty please with sandwiches, fruitcups, grape sodas and an awesome blossom on top?

Ah, that was lovely. I'm kind of glad we skipped into the futur, because Pam's eternal friendship speech was just killing me as much as it was Jim.

I totally just watched "The Secret" last night, so it was awesome to see that you had gotten to this. I love the little future addemdums.

Aww, this one made my heart hurt! So painfully good!

That picture is so sweet! And I would totally have had a crush on him if I was Kevin's stepdaughter.

Sweet sweet fic.

That's right, Pam. If you have kids, it should be with Jim.
Sometimes I scare myself being so invested in fictional characters.

His date with Brenda was so heartbreaking. And that voice mail for Laura? Aagh. Poor, poor Jim.

“Maybe we just shouldn’t have kids.”
Truer words were never written. No kids for Roy and Pam!
