Roy's a dick. Like we didn't know. Poor Jim

Poor Jim! I'm sure everything will be OK with his mom (I hope,) but this would be heartbreaking for anyone

Roy's going to come along and screw everything up, huh? This made me feel giddy. Happy. (*rolls eyes* I'm a total girl)

It's awkward reacquainting with an old friend. Add to that being of the teen years... and yeah... feels just like what you wrote here

Cute! Jimmy's Pammy indeed!
Author's Response: You better believe it! I think maybe there should be a Jim and Pam in a swimming pool (or hot tub) scene on the show.

Aw, perfect way to end, with a little more swehoney. Awesome.
Like I said when I first started reviewing, I don't usually go for AUs of this nature, but you've really opened up the genre for me. I have loved every chapter - the humour, the smut but above all the sweetness and ongoing love between these two. I'm really sad this has come to an end and I guess I'll just have to fill in the blanks of the last 18 months in my head (sigh, such an effort...) but thank you so much for returning to this story and crafting it in such an entertaining and beautiful way. I really want to keep reading more stuff by you :D
Author's Response: Thank you for the lovely note. I've had a great time with this version of Jim and Pam. I'm working on some new ideas, maybe a few shorter things before diving into another long story. I'll look forward to having you along then. Thanks so much for giving this one a chance.

Oh my goodness, that is so adorable! I've absolutely loved every chapter of this story, and if I had more time I'd write an entire chapter on how awesome this story it. Sadly, I must get back to homework, but know that I've loved this story thoroughly! I loved that last line, what a full circle we've made!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and for your encouragement along the way. I'd love to hear any further thoughts if you'd like to share them, but I'm so glad you were happy with the ending. Good luck with the homework!

I'm nostalgic and sad all at the same time. Sorry I haven't been reviewing in a while. Ever since I read you would only be doing a few more chapters, I decided to distance myself so it wouldn't be hard when it was over. Great job with this story, it was wonderful.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please feel free to share any thoughts if you want to. Sorry to make you sad, but I'm happy you'll miss the story. I had so much fun writing it. Thanks for the support!

perfect ending. so perfect in fact, that i'm not begging you to continue. this wrapped it all up nicely.
Author's Response: Haha, thank you! I was rewatching "The Job" the other night and suddenly I knew how it had to end. Thank you for coming along on the journey.

I'm picturing grown JK and JF heads on baby bodies with their adult heads crying... it's a funny thought! lol
I know I said I was going to wait until tonight to read it all, but I had to sneak in another chapter while I had a quick break. I'll finish tonight.
I know this unrelated to the story, but when I saw Dec. 1980, I couldn't help but wonder if it was before or after John Lennon's assassination. I'll go with before :)
They are so cute and I'm still diggin' the mom friendship!
Author's Response: LOL, now there's an image!
Yeah, before. I wasn't really thinking about it.
Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks for reading!

I finally get to read this! I'm so excited! I read the first chapter (which I shouldn't have, yet, cause now I'm late for class) and I want to read it all in one sitting! I'm glad I waited until it was complete.
How sweet that their mothers were friends first, original idea, this story. I know nothing about the upcoming chapters, but I do hope the two ladies stay friends. And that Smelden and Muffin do really end up at the alter ;)
Author's Response: Keep on and find out... I'll be happy to hear more from you. Thanks for reading!

Haha! Aw, I'm going to miss this one when you finish it.
Author's Response: Just posted the last chapter. I'm going to miss it too. These are just great characters. I'm seriously giddy for the new episodes.
Thank you for reading!
Date: March 01, 2010 05:35 pm Title: This is what they mean by TMI
LOL, that was hilarious! I'm so glad I'm at home or I would have had about 20 weird looks because I started laughing as loud as possible when I got to the Ms. Lapin... Mrs. Vance... Phyllis part. Hilarious. What a cute chapter, and I love seeing the flashback of their past. Very nicely done! I also loved this line, you've got a great sense of humor!
'Going from friends to more always seemed to be a point of disaster on television, but for he and Pam, it had just felt like adding more whipped cream to the kick ass sundae that was their friendship.'
Great job, and I can't wait to read what comes next!
Author's Response: Unfortunately, that line made me want an ice cream sundae, so I was sort of pissed at myself for it. But I'm glad you liked it!!

:) loved it
Author's Response: Thank you!

*squeeee* I get so excited to see the update! Perfect way to start my Monday!!
Very sweet chapter. Love the fact that they're planning their wedding and that little part about Jim reflecting on their relationship from friends to more than that ;o)
I really can't wait for the last chapter. And if there's a part about Jim "mousing" Pam, it'll be even better :D
Author's Response: Would I let you down? ;-)
Date: March 01, 2010 12:30 am Title: The strawberry pie incident
I get scared that if I don't leave a review, you'll stop writing and that's like the worst possible thing that can happen so sorry this is a little delayed. Also, maybe if I keep writing reviews that whole 'only two more chapters left' thing can just disappear and it will keep going for, like...ever?! What's that? It's unreasonable? Psssh, where's your dedication? :P
ANYWAY, I love the smut in this story as much as the next person but I equally love the sweetness in this chapter. The actual proposal scene always makes me smile deliriously so having you fit it in to your delightful story made me grin even more. Just the idea of Jim spontaneously asking her to marry him is positively adorable.
Having said that though, my favourite part was more hilarious than sweet:
“Fuck!” He yelled.
Pam peered around the doorway from the bathroom, her glasses on, her toothbrush dangling from her mouth.
“What?” she slurred. “You think you can just command it and I’ll come running?”
:D
Author's Response: Haha, thanks! I love hearing from you. That line is taken from real life, except it was me swearing and my boyfriend calling Pam's line.
Date: February 27, 2010 12:27 pm Title: The strawberry pie incident
This was very sweet. I love the way you managed to give them the moment in the rain, mirroring the show.
I love the way this chapter gives us flashes of different points in the year. I've enjoyed every chapter you have written in this wonderful story, but I feel like we get a bonus when you include the flashes.
So sad that we are coming to the end, though... I wonder what moments in 2009 you'll share. Will Jim 'inadvertently inseminate' Pam, {love that line from a few chapters ago} like in the show, so that in 2010 there will be a Baby Halpert in the final chapter?? I'll wait patiently to find out!
Author's Response: Go find out!!
I'm glad you like the flashbacks. I'd hoped to include more, but too many felt cumbersome.
Date: February 25, 2010 09:09 pm Title: The strawberry pie incident
Oh my goodness, that was adorable. Man, Jim certainly is a six year old to drink four sodas and then buy even more. But buying the sun chips slightly makes up for that fact, lol! I absolutely loved the two scenes with the parents, very well done. The little line of Jim calling Ed 'sir' was hilarious, as was Larissa telling Pam she called her mom now. Great chapter and I'm going to be so sad when this story is over!
Author's Response: Guys never learn, do they?
Date: February 24, 2010 11:07 pm Title: The strawberry pie incident
My heart soars with the eagle's nest. /Michael.
I can confidently say that this is my favorite chapter yet. Shocking, I know, considering my love of smut but there ya go ;o)
The way Jim's plans of proposing were thwarted. So funny. The way he loved her so much that the simple moments in the kitchen and at the rest stop just made him fell for her all over again. It's the little stuff.
And Jim asking Pam's parents for her hands?? GAH! Also the part where Larissa told Pam to call her Mom! It's as if the mothers were even happier than their kids!
I'll be sad when this story end and I'm also glad that you decided to stick w/ it. So much love for this story!
Thanks, andtheivy!
Author's Response: You?? Love something non-smutty? Say it ain't so!!
Haha, kidding!
I'm so glad you liked it. I had a great time writing this chapter. I love the way they did the proposal on the show. While the fireworks and all would have been great, I'm a big fan of simple and spontaneous.
