HEAL THE SICK PUPPIES!!! Oh, Shan...this is, so, so good I can't stand it, and yet I'm so sorry to see it go! You've got these voices down to a 'T'. And when Dwight asked for the name of who'd "done this" to Angela I nearly spit my water out all over my monitor. This was such a great take on what may have happened if TO hadn't taken SO long t get our favorite duo together. This just rocked my socks.

What a happy surprise to see another chapter to this story! Nice way to bring it back again to Angela's perspective, however warped it might be. ;-)
Looking forward to more of your creations now that you'll have some more free time!

I'm am grinning! Such a great way to end (although I'll really miss this one). Too many great lines to mention just one. Thanks for that dose of happy : )

WOW! I LOVED this whole story !And I have to say best line ever:
"Dear lord! She left a drunk and clearly amorous woman on the doorstep of an untrustworthy doe-eyed rogue."
I completly bent over laughing at that line!

<<"But anyway, I powered through and ended it. I just had to be aggressive."
Another pause.
"Jim." Pam's voice had a warning tone.>>
Awesome. Simply awesome. (A.W.E. - S.O.M.E)
<<"Don't be coy, Jim. Not every woman in this office finds the deviant boyish act charming," she hissed.>>
Pretty sure Jesus isn't a big fan of blatant lies there, Angela.
<<She left a drunk and clearly amorous woman on the doorstep of an untrustworthy doe-eyed rogue.>>
<the reviewer is unable to supply witty comment in response to indicated awesome line as she is laughing her ass off, specifically at the 'doe-eyed rogue' comment. She would, though, like to know how your finals-addled brain was able to come up with that>
<<"Nerfherder?" Pam suggested.>>
... 'scuse me. A what?
<<It was probably more painless that it happened now than it would have been if I'd waited until a month before my wedding.>>
Touché
<<"I will take you home. Where are you staying now?" Angela asked.
Pam floundered for a moment, unable to reply. Finally she smiled sheepishly and managed to spit out a half sentence.
"Funny story...">>
I am so ridiculously pleased, I'm almost ready to forgive you for having to go get yourself edumacated, and subsequently go all MIA.
<<The next morning Dwight came in the office to find a Baby Ruth sitting on his desk.>>
Yay!!!!
I'm so happy you finally got a chance to finish this! It turned out, as usual and expected, wonderfully!

I lvoe how you began and ended with Angela's point of view.
You portray her so well!
And the interactions between her and Dwight were priceless especially the Babe Ruth ending.
And Jim listing off sins just to piss Angela off? Perfect!

This was the perfect end to this story! You write Angela so well. I laughed out loud when I read:
"Just as indulging in that much unashamed licentiousness was dangerous to one’s eternal soul."
That is such a great line. *sigh* Oh Angela.
Nice job! I really enjoyed it!

Shan!! What a treat to find this newly-completed story today!
Okay, first things first. I put your well-deserved ribbon back where it rightly belongs. (They tend to drop off when you change the status from "incomplete" to "complete." We really need some better glue, huh?)
I LOVED this chapter! What a perfect way to end this perfect story! There were several laugh-out-loud moments for me, including, but not limited to:
-"doe-eyed rogue." I feel compelled to warn you that I'm going to start a band with that name now. :)
-"nerfherder?" YES! An old school Star Wars reference FTW!
-Jim's list of commandment-breaking activities.
-And, of course, the Baby Ruth epilogue...
Just bravo and major kudos all the way around on this one, shan! It was just the thing for a Monday afternoon!

This is my first time commenting on any fanfic. That was just AWESOME!! Oh my God. . I loved all of it!! I could actually SEE that play out, and I could HEAR Jim, Pam, and Angela (and even Mark) saying all of those things. AWESOME!!!!

Aw, what a sweet ending. I love that Pam's so honest with her feelings, admitting that it's there but it's too soon for her to say. And cuddling! Cuddling's always good.

How lovely! Pam and Jim spooning. (Wouldn't they be a little too excited to sleep? No? Sorry, I'm projecting. ;))
I look forward to your epilogue.
I think your story is more realistic than the Season 3 triangle of stupidity.

Wow. Maybe Pam wasn't quite ready so quickly for the "in love" part? This is so very good...

Your drawing is much better than mine would be. I wish the night after The Dundies had gone like this... :)

WOW!!! That was really amazing. It's so interesting to see Jim's and Pam's thoughts, and how they don't really understand what the other one is thinking. I would have loved to see Jim making his feelings as clear as he did at the end here...

My heart truly broke for Jim due to Pam's reaction to his declaration of love. I'm glad she was able to explain her feelings to him.

“I’m going to break up with Katy,” he states simply.
“You’re going to call her up and tell her over the phone?” Pam demands.
Jim frowns.
“No…” Jim says slowly. Then, very quietly he adds, “I was going to text her.”
Ahhh, Jim. He sure knows how to break-up with a girl, doesn't he?

You are not alone, my friend...
Author's Response: Hahaha!

The world needs more rainbows and sunshine and stories like this. This was lovely. I love how you managed to get them to say these huge things in their own little roundabout way which is exactly what Jim and Pam tend to do. And I love that this ended with them being themselves, laughing and having fun together.
Author's Response: Thank shootingstars! I had to end on a light note, because that is Jam. They aren't dramatic or angsty, you know? Thanks so much for your reviews.

You have no idea how difficult it is to resist the urge to read the next part and just leave one review. You deserve two so here goes.
This is quite simply, brilliant. I've been enjoying this story but something about this chapter has updated my sentiment to loving it. The opening is so well expressed that even I was nervous reading it, wondering how this was going to go. I love that you slipped in a mention of worrying whether the new Jim/Pam couple would have the old Jim/Pam teasing fun friendship relationship because that's definitely something I think they would have worried about. And finally, this line killed me in the best way possible:
“It’s not stupid. We could just call a contractor,” he says matter-of-factly.
This prompted my response that's usually reserved for actual episodes: "Oh, Jim."
Author's Response: Awww, firstly, thank you for reviewing both chapters separately. That's just awesome. Secondly, the contractor thing seemed so Jim. Like, I imagined him actually running through a list of local contractors as she was talking. So I'm so glad you liked that bit :) Thirdly, you rock.

AAAAWWWW...is my first reaction.
“This is you saying that you aren’t going to let the next 10, or 20, or however many years be a mistake,” he says firmly.
this fic is a lovely glimpse into what could've been if Pam had come to her senses before the Booze Cruize and Karen and the Stamford transfer. it's sitll angsty. but not as complicated or rough in terms of their journey together. journey to JAM. ha. anyway, i like it :) can't wait till the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, cash. It's a rough night for JAM, but not nearly as rough as seasons 2 and 3, you're right :)

Loved the baby steps too (surprise surprise)
I can't believe there's so little left to this story...but I'm eagerly awaiting the telling of Roy and the Angela POV--that's gonna be great!
Author's Response: She's baaaaack! The return of Angela is going to be fun :) Thanks, JR!

Amazing update!!! I'm so wouldn't be surprised if the ring with Roy story were actually how it had happened...that seems very true to the relationship we got to see of them on the show. And I love how Jim just understands Pam...the terrace convo--very true to character as was his attempt to make her feel better about not having wasted the last 10 years of her life....basically just amazing all around :) Ok off to read the second part, I just wanted to get those thoughts down for you
Author's Response:
Yeah, I really felt like Roy would buy the ring at Sears. I actually went on the sight and found a ring that was only a seventh of a karat, but I thought it would sound unbelievable in the story so I went with one fifth. Heh.
Thanks so much for reviewing both chapters separately too! I truly appreciate that.

Oh only if they had come to their senses sooner - how lovely it could be. You did such an amazing job with the characterization here - your Pam is pitch perfect and your Jim is amazingly accurate. Those descriptions don't even begin to do what you've done here justice - but it's Sunday and I'm still a bit sleepy. :) Just know I loved it.
Author's Response: But at the same time, if they came to their senses at the Dundies, we would miss out on the awesomeness that was season 2. Hee! Thank you so much for the review. You are amazing.
