I really like that phrase. Did you write this line or is it a quote from somewhere else.

C'mon, Shassafrass...I believe in your ability to write us out of this hellishly angsty tale!
Ugh - breaking up with Roy, OK...breaking up with Karen, OK...tearing apart families with children...now you are heading into scary territory. I have goosebumps! PLEASE write more!

Hello darkness, my old friend... I've come to talk with you again
I've really missed this achy hurt of a story and I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten it. I didn't. Excellent job as always.

Shassafrass! Just got back from vacation and was so happy (and shocked!) to see that you've been busy in my absence. I really was just thinking of this story and how, after being so rapid-fire, it just dropped off the face of the earth. So very glad to have these terrific updates. Hoping you'll be able to add more soon, because you know I can't wait to find out what happens next.

I am beyond thrilled to see this updated. Now you know that I'm not above begging, but at least this time it paid off. It would be a crime and a sin if this were left unfinished.
These new chapters - man, everything rings so, so true in this situation. What an amazing job you've done with these characters, the setting, their moods, inner thoughts and dialogue. I know Doug is feeling a bit triumpant right now, but holy crap, I feel so sorry for everyone in this story. My heart is just breaking for Molly and Pam. Unfortunately, I know too well the feeling of being just lost for someone when for some unknown reason, it's just not right. You've pegged Jim so perfectly and the guy-talk in the bar (I'm so glad I can picture the CPG and it's the perfect spot for this talk in my mind) is spot on. I could go on, but I really, really wish you would.
Author's Response: Hey sweetie! So delighted that you like it and can feel it. I'm in over my head on some shit right now, and it's a very good things to be able to exorcize some demons by doing this. Buffalo's gorgeous these days, btw...I love it here in the summer.

Just adding to the chorus by saying how glad I am you picked this up again. This was a rare WIP I kept checking for...so, yeah, welcome back. This line alone made it worth the wait: ...wishing his heart would just tear loose and tumble down the drain.
Btw, in this line, I think you meant 'bad', not 'bed': They've never had a fight bed enough. Although, 'bed' is an interesting Freudian twist ;-)
Author's Response: D'oh! Thanks Collette! Coming from you, I am totally jazzed.

Eh, everything is ok. I have some adult issues too. But I hope you hang in there, Shass, cause it all gets better, somehow. By the time you get to the end of this excellent story it will look sunnier. : )

So glad to see you and this story back. I think you've created a very real situtaion full of real, adult, complex feelings. It's angsty, sure, but it is so good!
Author's Response: Hey sweetie! I'm always lurking, though I may not be as participatory as I'd like. Thanks for the sweet words. Yeah, my life right now is chock FULL of real, adult, complex feelings. Argh. This is a very healthy way to let it out, let me tell you...

Wow, Shass... I know you said this was super-angsty but MAN. This is great but... the heartache is off the scales. Poor Jam....
Author's Response: Kind of symptomatic of where my head's been at, I guess. How you doing? All okay in your world?

Such a sweet chapter. It's nice to see how Doug fell in love with her and how he did not quit to get Pam.

So I thought I would hate Molly... and maybe I will later. But I like that she is so straight forward w/ Jim, she seems strong and confident and ready to face the enemy.

Of course Michael is Mr. Mom, I am glad that you have made him such a sweet dad.

This line caught my attention: a cruel interruption of lives in progress. A great way of defining the meeting of ex-loves.

Okay, so I just discovered this story not too long ago--I usually don't like AU, but this one totally sucked me in--and I was so disappointed when it seemed like it was never going to be finished, the chapter before last. I'm so glad to see you back, and I can't wait to see where you take this!! I just love how you explore each character's feelings; how they all have depth, and you can't help feeling sorry for Jim and Pam's spouses, even though you want our beloved couple to end up together. I just keep thinking about what a mess they've made, and how their actions are going to affect so many people, now that they have families. It's so heartwrenching and real. Excellent job!
