Okay, I just started reading the reviews from other people, and I just want to say ditto to all of that. The yogurt lid was the most brilliant idea ever and I loved how Pam was amazed over the box, how Jim presented it to her and the letter. It is so hard to write letters that sound realistic (trust me, my Mistletoe story was really hard when it came to the inner monologue stuff - it's so hard to make things ring true!), and then walking up to him in the office. And that's just chapter two! Chapter one (which I was so frustrated at and needed to go read chapter two to try and find something happier, which definitely happened) was just heartbreaking. The anger that they were expressing to one another, either through verbal or nonverbal communication was just incredibly descriptive and really helped set the stage for the later parts of the story. Keep going! And I can't believe I forgot to say all of this before! THIS IS INCREDIBLE! (P.S. I'm so glad that you're trying out a brand new idea with this mix up of possibilities from the show. I always love reading authors fresh ideas or combinations of parts and when they can execute the story well - like you're certainly doing, no worries at all! - then it's just like drinking a delicious mango smoothie. Fantastic story and I'll be quite now so you can write some more!

Oh my goodness! Yikes that was awesome! (That was cheesy, right??? Pretend I'm Pam... Here's a link to the ukelele boy singing I'm Yours... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErMWX--UJZ4)
ANYWAYS!!!! That was amazing and I'm so glad that they finally stood up to each other, stopped being idiots (JIM!) and told each other how much they loved one another! Amazingly well done and please, let me read that business lunch! Agh! This is so fun. What a guilty pleasure!
P.S. Actually, do watch that youtube video if you haven't seen it, it's hilarious!

Ahh so cute! I love romantic letters and that was a great one, plus you included the yogurt lid! This was one of the most mashed up AU scenerios I've ever read, but you made it work out great :) I'll have to read more of your work.

This better be a freaking series, I love it. I loved the awkwardness between them. This sort of angst is my favourite omg. He's not with Karen... then they have to become friends again and she has to woo him backkkkk!!!!
DO IT :)

That's my boy! I like how he took the initiative to try - and how she jumped at the chance to make it work. Just like in the show: when he asked her out, she played no games; she said yes.
Another great one!

Wow! I think I felt my heart break. I know Jim is just protecting himself, but it still hurts.
Great job!

I am really digging this story! You've got a great idea and I can't way to see it flesh out. How long is Jim gonna hold out? I guess it's sick, but I kind of like Angry!Jim...
Author's Response: Thank you! I think it's less how long Jim can hold out and more how long I can hold out. I'm already getting impatient and wanting them together! But then another part of me wants to switch things up and throw myself into the story as Jim's new girlfriend.... I guess we'll have to wait and see! Thanks for reading!
