Um, that was VERY nice. Jim in black boxer briefs? That would do bad things to my brain.
Author's Response: I think that should be his secret weapon: strip down to the black b-b's and get whatever he wants. Glad you liked, Semby - thanks for the review!

Hot and wonderful. I love that Pam automatically knows it's "basketball" Jim and not "normal" Jim that's like that and also how quickly it's all resolved...very nice.
Author's Response: I figured she'd be good at cheering him up (ahem.) And yeah, I think she would understand - he may be the sweetest thing ever, but he's still a boy. Thank god. Thanks for all the individual reviews - like multiple gifts!

Ummm....very hot. (and that might be a slight understatement). I love that Jim would get up early just to get her donuts...how cute is that??
Author's Response: Seemed to me like a Jim-ish thing to do...and yeah, he can be criminally adorable (not to mention hot.) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Awww...adorable. I'd be doing the same thing if I were Pam.
Author's Response: Oh, there is no end to the things I'd do if I were Pam....glad you liked this. Thanks much, flamingosinparadise!

Hooray for bringing the booty!
Author's Response: Hee. Well, I think that might be a particularly nice booty to be brought. Thanks, invis!

This lovely glimpse was a joy to read at work and to re-read now. You have the banter, the love, and the intimacy we want for them. And throwing in the mental image of Jim in his underwear is that tasty icing on the cake. Thank you!
Author's Response: So happy to hear those elements come across to you - exactly what I hoped. These little glimpses are fun to write - especially when they involve thinking about Jim in his undies. (Yes, I am that deep.) And let me take this opportunity to be an annoying nudge - hoping to see something here from you soon too! Thanks much, bitterpill!

Very, very sexy! And in the immortal words of Kevin... "niiiice...." Really am quite liking this story. So perfectly in character, but a vignette of their life outside the office. Very nice indeed...

‘Black?’ She choked out.
My brain just went *pfft* Yeah, I can totally get behind that visual. (TWSS)
Referencing JK's real life propensity for dickish behavior on the basketball court just adds another layer of hotness, nay, deliciousness to this. I love these snack sized stories and I hope you have more than just one left. Pretty please. :-)
Author's Response: Snack sized - exactly! I figured some of you would know that ref (I know who I'm dealing with, LOL.) Sorry about your brain, but so happy these are amusing you. At least one more in a couple of day...then we'll see if I can sustain the mood. Thanks so much, Susan M. !

DE-Licious. I loved how testy our guy was after his game...for some reason that was ultrahot.
Author's Response: I know...what is it with him being a degree hotter when pissed off? Let's not analyze that too closely! These little smuff-balls are fun to write, so I'm glad you're finding them tasty too. Thanks LoveFool - always love hearing from you!

As others have mentioned, what you do so well in all your stories is to weave together seamlessly the banter, friendship, intimacy, and sexiness that we all know those two are capable of bringing to a relationship. Best of all, you work your magic while keeping it very, very real: neither of them is perfect. You can admire a boy in his undies ("Black?" hell, I'd stammer for a moment, too), but also not be afraid to show him being petulant and annoying.
I hate to just gush, but I really am enjoying these snapshots of life with Jim and Pam.
Author's Response: Wow, what a generous thing to say. I'm so flattered. Especially glad you think Pam and Jim come across as real - I'm not a big fan of perfection, LOL. 'Snapshots' is actually a great description of these little pieces - may have to steal that from you! Thanks so much Inanna3 - really appreciate your comments.

I adore you.
I adore Jim.
I adore Pam + Jim.
Nice scenario involving basketball, beer and unless my filthy mind fails me - something else that begins w a B...
In summary, Yay you!!
Author's Response:
Back at you!
Ah yes, the three B's...and no, your filthy mind is completely intact. Thank god. So, yay for you too...and thanks, as always, my friend!

I’m glowing with defeat
LOL! Pure Jim.
Jim, seriously. Bringing your mother into this conversation is so not going to get you sexual favors.
*snerk* Funny. I love it when you give us their banter. But when you go for the cozy, girl, you do it better than anyone:
When he held his arm out towards her, she instinctively stepped into it. He encircled her waist and sunk down into the easy chair behind him, pulling her into his lap.
So warm and sweet. But then she slides off his lap to her knees and it becomes another kind of warm altogether. Ah, Colette, you always leave us satisfied and smiling. :)
Author's Response: So pleased you're enjoying these little steamettes, NEJ. Glad you find Jim believable and hooray for cozy. Call me old fashioned, but I have no problem with warm and intimate co-existing with (nay, increasing) the heat. And I do think those two would move pretty fluidly back and forth between the two modes. Thanks, as always, for zeroing in on some of my fave lines.

Thank you! I feel like I'm the only one that sees how much better Jim would look in boxer-briefs than boxers. Boxers do nothing for you...nothing!
I realize this was not your point, but It's what I got.
Also, I too have a man too involved in his sports. God help me if UT or the Braves don't play well because dammit I'm gonna have a five-year old brat to deal with for at least an hour.
Sibilate calls me Cosmo-girl because I always have comments from Cosmo after I read smut...and here's another one. There was this article about a year ago about different ways to please your man depending on his mood. Pam was exactly right...you're supposed to please him when he's had a bad day or his team lost etc. If he had one however, she's supposed to let him take charge, you know "be the man." I just thought you might like to know. ;)
Author's Response: Definitely don't think you're alone in imagining Jim in those undies. And re: my point...these are just silly little slices of life, so that's as good as any to take from this, LOL! Thanks for the Cosmo tip - good to know. Maybe Pam needs a subscription? Or she can just borrow Kelly's copy (you know she gets it.) Thanks also for reviewing, PamPongChamp!

Win.
Ok, time for some meaningful comments. Love the callback to JK's alleged 'dickishness' on the basketball court. Also love Pam having a hand in (selecting) Jim's underpants. And just the mere thought of Jim in boxer briefs has melted the computer chip in my brain. Poof.
Author's Response: Of course you got that reference...why am I not surprised? Thanks again for inspiring me to write this collection of shameless objectification of that nice young man. I hear he had very good SAT scores and visits his grandma in the home regularly. Yet, all I'm focusing on his underpants. So wrong. Good thing he's only fictional. Thanks, lisahoo!

Yeah, that was definitely nice. I'm afraid all other words fail me, though the images will definitely linger!
But where were the man tonsils??
Author's Response: Oh Mox. Sorry I didn't have them make a cameo appearance.Will try harder. Glad you enjoyed anyway...thanks, you!

Oh my. I need a second here....
This continues to be just delicious -- and I think my favorite thing about it is how well you capture that sort of heady disbelief they would have to feel when first getting used to having this kind of an intimate relationship. Oh, and I am forever indebted to you for the glorious images that this invoked: Not that he didn’t look damn fine in his boxers, but she couldn’t help thinking that boxer briefs might add a certain contour hugging appeal. Turns out, she she’d been on the money.
Wow. Very, very well done -- as usual!
Author's Response:
Well, what's not to like about that image? LOL. Glad you think that sense of newfound intimacy comes through. I mean, honestly, can you imagine stumbling upon Jim in his undies and NOT being a bit unnerved? Happy that these are still entertaining you (and why do I now feel how I always do after writing a fluffball - like I need to write something more serious?) Thanks for being girl7. And for your great reviews too.

This series is great! I loved the image you made of Jim shaving...that's definitely one of my favorites. Such a simple, but intimate, thing shaving is. And I liked this line, "It was a good sound to hear in the dark." It kept the theme nicely. Great job!
Author's Response: Yeah, I guess if there's any 'theme' linking these bits, it's sort of the intimacy within simple, domestic, ordinary moments. With a bit of steam for good measure, of course. Glad the shaving worked for you...I kind of liked thinking about it too, to be honest. LOL. Thanks much, bealsa.

Okay, now I really want a jelly donut. And by a jelly donut, I mean a freshly showered Jim Halpert.
That was a familiar feeling; not having to resist it was still a surprise. And a relief. And about damn time.
Ooh. Nice. Sensual, funny and well-written: the Colette special.
Author's Response: How about JH in a shower, followed by a shared jelly donut? Too much? Colette special...that's too funny - but, I'll take it. And make more soon. Always love to get your reviews - thanks much, Paper Jam.

He quickly decided to hold that thought for the time being, less he woke up the next morning completely sober and realize it was totally perverted.
Ahaha! Who hasn't had a thought like that?
I was so happy to see something new from you! (does this mean I have to write something now?) I especially love the last line. It gives me warm fuzzies.
Author's Response: Ah, nothing like the warm fuzzies. So happy that you're happy...and yes, that's exactly what it means (pretty please?) Start typing, you. Thanks, Paper Jam!

One word: yum!
Can't wait for more - I've always loved your series of vignettes in the past. :)
Author's Response:
So happy I could provide some yum. These vignette-y series are fun to write - kind of a way to purge all these bits and pieces floating around my head, without a bigger story to call home. And, what can I say? I was just in the mood to write some old fashioned smuff. Thanks so much, Semby!

I was sure that I reviewed this last night, but you really did break my brain apparently and I didn't. I have to say that you have without question the most beautiful writing style! This:
In many ways, this was the moment she liked best. Just lying there together, breathing each other’s breath, bodies touching everywhere.
Is pure magic! I'm so happy you posted, it totally made my night!
Author's Response: Wow. Thank you so much, uncgirl. These little ficlets were fun to write, so I'm very pleased you enjoyed them. Really appreciate your lovely reviews. (And so sorry for the damage to your brain!)

OMG - how did I not see this last night? Holy god, woman. This is hot -- hot and perfect and so absolutely them. I absolutely love the way you've written her appreciating him here, because...just yes. You described her watching him shaving in such a way that I could so vividly see it. (Yeah, thanks for that, BTW.)
Just absolutely adore this and can't wait for more. Wow. Still kind of holding my breath, LOL.
Author's Response: Breathe, girl7! Well, I'm glad you found this and glad you liked. I figure she's got to appreciate him, up close and personal, at least as much as we ogle him from afar. And yes, I would watch him shave. I'm not too proud to admit it, LOL. Thanks so much for indulging me in my shameless objectification of that boy. And for this great review!

Certain in this world are death, taxes, and your stories being great. Perfectly in character, so easy to imagine them exactly as you write them. Your Jim is especially great here, devoted and in love but still a real guy rather than some ideal. If you wanted to crank out about 20 chapters of this it would be just fine.
Author's Response: Wow, what a nice thing to say. Glad you thought Jim felt real here - honestly, I find him much more appealing with flaws and quirks and all that good stuff. Nothing more boring than perfection. Can't promise 20 more chapters, but there will be at least a couple. Thanks, brokenloon!
