I mean, yes, that was hot, but I love how you touch on his insecurity from that moment. And I could see him carrying a little baggage about his own flirtation with Pam when he shouldn’t have been. This was really lovely.

Nicely done. I really enjoyed that! Thanks!

Nice! The passive-aggressive argument at the beginning is perfect, and I love how quickly that segues into makeup sex, haha. Pam being irritated and then loving making Jim uncomfortable is great; I love all the, hm, not dirty talk, but normal, non-broadcast-TV words like "sluts" that really make them seem real, or like Pam's "regular response."
Author's Response: well thank you. i think my original idea was for something mostly passive-aggressive and angsty, perhaps with a shot of something sweeter. of course i changed it to make room for the sex. i love that fic is able to open some doors, and that includes language. grown up words. what have you. to be honest, pam teasing jim about how cute he is was inspired by an old interview w/john and jenna when she mentions that he's so good looking and he doesn't even know it. the reporter reported that he got incredibly embarrassed... i guess that stuck with me.

HOW DID I MISS THIS?! Loved this, EL. So hot and funny. My favorite line: ...but at the moment, time stood still and everyone could fuck off. Fantastic and just what I needed today.
Author's Response: oh i'm so glad you liked. that line... it was added at the last minute. i don't know if i think it's fantastic, but thank you for saying so.

So much to love about this, starting with your episode summary and ending with Jim grading the sex. And in between it was funny and sweet and hot and so them.
Author's Response: thank you thank you!

Even though Jim played it cool during the episode, I'm a little more inclined to think he behaved like this afterwards. And you wrote it perfectly! Just the write amount of sexiness, jealousy and comfort to make it quintessentially Jim and Pam. Great job :)
Author's Response: i think jim often plays it cool - but let's face it, he's really not. i hope i balanced jim's possessiveness with his understanding. thanks for your feedback!

I'm happy they would have a bit of a discussion/fight about Toby coming on to Pam without Jim going totally crazy about it. It felt realistic. And this, “So what was that – like B+?” got a laugh out of me.
Author's Response: oh, i love realistic. thanks so much!

Much though I liked Jim being secure and mature enough not to go neanderthal on Toby's sorry ass, I really liked him being a bit jealous and prickly about it when they're alone. Lots of great, sexy, funny banter - loved Jim asking about the sluts (somehow that word always cracks me up) checking him out - how he's so oblivious to his own hot-itude. So, win-win-win (jealousy - arguing - naked Jim)...what's not to like? Yum.
Btw, I think you have one too many 'againsts' in this phrase (though it might just be my overheated synapses confusing me ;-): with his cock against hard against her.
Author's Response: prickly is EXACTLY the right way to say it! colette ftw! i think it's one of the conversations that happens late at night between two people, with no one else around, and that's when one lets it all out - even if it's ugly. i'm glad you liked the banter! jim being oblivious to his "hot-itude" is really based upon jkras in two occasions: (1) during an on-set interview with that awful kristin dos santos, when jenna teased him about being shirtless in "license to wed." he was so cute and modest and embarrassed! (2) some early interview w/jenna. she says something like, he has no idea how cute he is! look at him! and he responded with loads of embarrassment. gotta love it.

Pure greatness.
Author's Response: oh my goodness - thank you!

HA! I was trying to pick a part of the dialogue to paste here but I realized I'd have to copy the whole thing and, well... that might be counter productive. And can I just say that I love that Jim grades their sexual performances? So much love. A pleasure, as usual, Emily! :D
Author's Response: oh, that's so sweet! some parts of writing this fic were like pulling teeth - but not the dialogue, that flowed well. i love jim grading sex too - although to be honest, i'm not sure if they're kidding or serious, i hadn't fully decided. if they are kidding, think of it as that scene from "dunder mifflin infinity" when jim goes to pam's desk and asks if the romance is dead. fun!

Nekkid Jam!Fights are the best. And I think Jim was a little peeved at Toby's behavior -- not enough to pull a Roy, but enough that there was some discussion, definitely.
Author's Response: as much as i'd love to write a fic where jim punches the crap out of toby, i think we all know we just won't see that b/c he's not that guy. so i wrote this - which is the situation i think we'd see. jim had a bad night, displaces his anger/frustration, but as always pam is very persuasive :)

I think you should win an award for "most to the point story summary in history" it made me laugh, and in turn made me read.
loves it. :o)
Author's Response: sometimes i like summaries to be poetic and intriguing - and sometimes it just needs to be spelled out. thanks for the feedback! glad you read and liked.
