Man, the transition between #1 and #2 would be life-giving if it weren't also so ridiculously painful.

The 1 to 2 transition is great and heartwrenching. As is 4 to 5 in a different way (the great, not the heartwrenching).

#5 = Eeep.

What an unexpectedly hot ending to something that I'd thought was going to be all angst! I love the progression of Jim's mental state.

Ooh! Mikey likey!
I also enjoy the 'five things' scenarios, and yours is an excellent one!

These are great! I especially love #2. "Her reaction is this:..." is just awesome. I really like your prose.

I really liked the different scenerios you came up with for this one -- especially how 1 led into 2.

Loved this!
First of all I love how #1 and #2 link, but it's linked in a sad way [Gods, is that the only way I can describe it?!]. I love #3, because it's a completely imaginable scenario, and it makes my head hurt to think of the number of times Jim must've been in that situation. I love #4, but in a weird way, because I don't ordinarily love bits that make Pam hate Jim, or the other way around, or bits that make my heart ache [oh, the finality of those last few lines], but this was both. Aye-aye-aye. And I love #5, because that's the perfect way to end a story. Handcuffs. *chortle*
I love tiny little details here and there, like how you kept Roy's name out of #2 'till half a sentence in, how he notes in #5 that that card is from a pack she got when she donated to a charity, the way Pam notices in #1 that he's staring at her [but not for the same reason!] but how as a whole not everything is mentioned, and some things are left to the imagination. I like these Five Ways/Five Times stories, and this is possibly one of my favourites.
Short, simple and sweet [so short that I'm certain that if I continue writing my review, it'll end up longer than your story!]. I'm looking forward to more from you!

Good lord, this is awesome! Such a shock, the second one - painful with Roy doing what Jim was dreaming of doing. Loved it that he automatically grabbed a box of tissues and went looking for her. And yes....love her gift to him and her card! Great job here!

This is really good!

That was so good. Ooh, lovely use of the 5 Things format. And that ending. I'm all hot and bothered thinking of the possibilities of what'll happen later with those handcuffs. And the card was adorable.

Man, i REALLY like this. The transition between the first and second ones, that wonderfully sneaky switch of Jim having to *watch* her reaction is *great*, and "He used to rescue her from people who made her look like that." is so wonderfully painful it KILLS me. And "loopy schoolgirl's handwriting"!
(And if anyone ever writes Jim/Pam with handcuffs, I might die happy.)
I hope you write more in this fandom!

'He wonders when he became that guy'. Ouch. Perfectly put. And handcuffs....there are just so many ways to interpret that. Very intriguing.

I loved the way 1 segued into 2. And 5 made my little shippy heart smile.

I love the Five Things/Five Times meme, and this is why. What a fun story. Well done!
Date: October 04, 2006 02:17 pm Title: Five Times Jim Almost Wishes He and Pam Didn't Work Together
I loved this "He used to rescue her from people who made her look like that. He wonders when he became that guy". Glad they were able to move from that to the hotness of #5!

Nice. Wonderful use of visual details.

Ha! Handcuffs. Ummm...love it. This was really great:)
Author's Response: Thanks! (The box with the handcuffs was actually the image I started with.)

Didn't see number coming. Great job with 5 things.
