I wish there were more!
Author's Response: Heh. Sorry, I'm afraid I have a tendency to write those "Jim and Pam get together" stories that end right when they, well, get together. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it! :)

This is so sweet, and not just because of licorice, jelly bellys, junior mints and ice cream! I don't think I've read anything where Roy broke up with Pam... good idea!

OH MY GOD! Yeahhhh Fancy New Beesly! Bold move! I feel so bad for her, having to go talk to Roy now. But she has Jim! And she got to make out with him! So every cloud has a silver lining, I guess. xD
Favorite line:
"Sorry, I meant to say that sooner, like back at your house..." she trailed off, sounding embarrassed.

Aw so cute!!! Great job, it was awesome! :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Can't believe it ended so fast but that was nice! Elizabethtown always makes me want to go to Louisville!!
Author's Response: I've never been to Louisville, but Elizabethtown totally made it onto my list of places to visit when I take an epic road trip around the country, and it's only because of that movie. I really don't know why I like the movie so much, but something in it just speaks to me, so I thought I'd try to bring a tiny bit of that feeling into this story. (In a really subtle way.) Anyway, I'm glad you liked it, Crystalized!

Nice! Pam figured things out pretty quickly, and frankly, Roy's dumped her, so she's a free woman now. Good for her. :)
I love this: "He checked his room first, hoping, though knowing that he shouldn't hope it, that she would be wrapped up in his sheets. Something he'd dreamed about more often than he cared to admit." I hope she tells him that they actually spent the night curled up together. That's so sweet. :)
I'm glad you dusted this off and finished it up, Azlin! Yay for happiness in Season 2! (At this point, I'm not convinced there'll be happiness in Season 5, so...yeah. It's just nice to win one (/Kevin), via your fic.
Author's Response: I'm actually not sure why I decided to end this so quickly, but that was just the way this one turned out. I suppose I could've stretched it a bit more, but I really felt like it was done when it was done, you know? Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm really glad I finished it, too. Thanks for your reviews! I'm happy to provide Season 2 happiness whenever you need it. And don't give up on Season 5, it's early yet.

Nice job. I agree that Jim wouldn't mind Pam in his bed, regardless of circumstance. ;)
Wait! The stairs were too far away? Hmmm.
Author's Response: Yeah, those stairs were a little too daunting at three or four in the morning. ;)

The paragraph that starts: "Her jeans were heavy and her toes squished in her shoes with each step she took, but she had made it here to his house, to him" is my favorite, and I love how it's bookended with, basically, 'Jim means safety and caring.'
The 'friend' thing of course would bring Jim's spirits down a bit. From your description, I think we'll see that turn around at some point here.
I love the Dwight/DNA bit. ;)
It's good you had Roy break things off. I do like stories where Pam figures out she should dump Roy, and I would hope in real life she would, but that's not the Pam we ever saw in Season 2. She only finally broke things off when "push came to shove," really. She had a confession from Jim, she had feelings, too, and her wedding to Roy was only a few days away.
So this is really more realistic; Roy dumps her, so she needs to react. Frumpy Old Beesly is more likely to react than to act.
Anyway, I'll go on. :)
Author's Response: Yeah, as much as I love to see Pam dump Roy, I always thought it would be more realistic if he dumped her, maybe because he found someone new? I don't know. I think they were both just stuck in that relationship, but if anyone was going to unstick him or herself, I'd bet it'd be Roy over Frumpy Old Beesly any day. Anyway, I'm glad you liked this, and I'm sorry I didn't respond to this review sooner. I still appreciated it. ;)

I loved this story! It was great from the beginning! And that movie line is from Elizabethtown!! Love that movie; Orlando Bloom is so cute. But enough about that. This story was fantastic and you did a fantastic job!
Author's Response: Yes! You win at life! I'm so glad I'm not the only person who loves that movie. When I originally wrote this story last summer I was way into that soundtrack, so I listened to it a lot while writing this. I thought it was only fair that I include some little homage to it in the story itself. Thanks for the review!
Date: June 16, 2008 08:12 pm Title: The Wake-Up Call
Nice! Cut to the chase. I loved this line: "Now would you please just tell me you love me and get it over with?"
Author's Response: Lol. You picked the one line that wasn't mine! I actually borrowed that from one of my favorite movies. But I'm glad you liked it, and that you couldn't tell it wasn't Pam who said it originally.

What a lovely story. I think you summed up in three chapters Pam and Jim's love for each nicely. I especially loved the part when they are on the couch together.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'm actually a little surprised that it only took me three chapters to tell this story and in some ways it does feel like it could have been extended further, but in the end I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks again!
Date: June 16, 2008 01:17 pm Title: The Couch
Okay, first of all, this: "You deserve to have someone love you because of all that stuff and not in spite of it" -- totally encapsulates why Jim's right for her and Roy isn't. Lovely.
All right, Pam had better wise up and take advantage of the situation here. (That came out sounding very wrong, hee.) I keep waiting for her to kiss him (or vice versa). Don't go upstairs; I'm sure there's plenty of room on that couch for two....
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Oh don't worry, Pam may seem like a sweet innocent girl, but there is no way she's passing up an opportunity like this one. Her tired body just won't let her! Or at least that's the story she'll tell herself. ;)
Anyway, thanks again for your reviews! I'm very glad you liked the story so far.

I'm catching up on my reviewing, and I stumbled on this story of yours -- love it so far! You did a great job of setting a very atmospheric (that may not be a word, but by god, I've heard Nick Rhodes use it before) tone here. I finished this chapter, glanced over, and was surprised to see a brilliantly sunny day outside my window; I'd been so engulfed in the rainy Friday night....
Also love, of course, that Jim's just immediately there for her, and I'm dying to know what happened to make Roy break up with her. Hmmm....
Off to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. You made my day and simultaneously spurred me to post the last chapter. Truth be told, I was probably channeling your angsty style a bit with this one, so I'm sincerely flattered that you liked it. Thanks again! Oh, and atmospheric is totally a word. At least it is if my vote counts for anything in the evolution of the English language.

Sweet! I loved the back and forth of "you are such a girl!/ Am not!" And the final whisper causing goosebumps. I got them too. I look forward to more.
Author's Response: You got goosebumps? That's so cool! I did too, but that's not really surprising considering that I'm the one who wrote about them. ;) Anyway, I really appreciate your review and I hope you like the end.

Nice!
I'm trying to gat around to read a little bit of everyone's stories on MTT. There are so many and I'm kinda new to this.
It never ceases to amaze me all the AU ideas people come up with.
I love your idea that Roy breaks up with Pam, can't wait to read more.
Plus I thought the way how you described Pam's shoes squishing with water was beautiful for some reason I found it to be pivital to set the scene of how wrecked she was. Cool!
Author's Response: Yes. There is definitely plenty of variety around here. I'm just glad you didn't think this was totally cliched. I almost didn't publish this because I was worried that everyone had told this story already, but I ended up liking my version enough to share it, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Azlin, I really am enjoying this story so far.Call me crazy, but I can get enough of some old school S2/S3-ish angst. :D Your dialogue rings true to my ears, and I like the various emotional stages Pam is going through, and Jim's willingness to listen. (As a guy who's been on the receiving end of an evening of talking like this, I can testify that Jim's a brave man. :D)
Look forward to more!
Author's Response: Every so often you need a little angst. I'm glad the dialogue sounds right. I'm a little worried about it in the third chapter. They do a lot of talking and some of it I'm not totally convinced is in character, but I figure we're all allowed to bend characterizations every now and then, right? It's like poetic license. Or something... Anyway, thanks for the review! I hope you like the ending.

So sweet! I bet Jim's a great listener. I really loved this! More please?
Author's Response: How could he not be? He's pretty much perfect. At least, he is in my mind. And he definitely is in this story. So glad you liked it!

Awww! I want a Jim! I want a sweet, funny, hot guy to get me Junior Mints when I'm sad!! I can't wait to see how this plays out. Reading on...
Author's Response: I want a Jim too. Like a lot. Instead I get to write about him, which is still pretty good I guess, but not nearly as good as the real thing. And of all the things Jim got, Junior Mints would be my favorite too! ;)

Ha! It's like time-lapse photography, I love it! Couch snuggles!
Author's Response: Yeah, it's a little different. It was meant to be like one of those montages that always come in the middle of a romance movie. I thought about writing everything out in more detail, but I liked it better this way. Thanks for the review!

Oh, it's like time-travel fic! I love going back so far and seeing different POVs. And Roy broke up with Pam?! And btw, nothing wrong with cliche :)
Author's Response: I like that description. It feels like time traveling for me too because it's like going back to last summer when I first wrote this. And I'm glad you don't mind the cliche. I obviously don't mind it either. ;)

This sounds like a really good set up! I'm interested to see where you go from here :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I hope the rest of the story lives up to the set up. I'm warning you now, it's heavy on the fluff. Hope that's not a problem. ;)

I can't believe you've been holding out on us for so long, Azlin! This is great. I've often wondered myself what would have happened if Roy broke up with Pam, so I can't wait to see where you take this. And you better live up to your promise of quick updates! :-)
Author's Response: It wasn't a conscious hold out, I promise. I honestly forgot all about this thing until I randomly came across it earlier today. I'm glad I found it, though, because I really like it! I'll do my best about the quick updates. I have a crazy week ahead of me, but the story is basically written already, so all it will need is some final revising.
