Oh, wow. Great way to start the day. This was just beautiful. Very emotional and steamy and very them. Loved it!

Loved this line - "Just keep looking at me that way. And take your shirt off." and "That shirt is so coming off later." And I thought I was the only one who jumped when opening a can of biscuits!

Yay to Pam for finally having her say after seven months of silence! I loved how shocked Jim was.
Date: October 18, 2006 06:15 pm Title: Chapter 15
ARG - Jim! Why, oh why did he push Pam away after she asked for another chance? I mean, I know *why*, but still...
Loved how you echoed part of the Casino Night conversation here, with the "I can't"s and "don't do this".
Date: October 18, 2006 06:07 pm Title: Chapter 13
The only thought at the end: I hope Pam holds in the sobs...wouldn't want her to ruin all that carefully applied makeup!
The song selectio reminded me of another of your fics...can't remember the title, but it was the one with "Andrea" (aka Karen), karaoke, Cindy Lauper and Hall & Oates. That was such fun!
Would have loved to have seen Roy's face when Pam introduced Jonathan as family. Had Roy noticed the resemblance to Jim...?

I *love* the idea of Pam going to so much trouble for Jim. And I love, both in fanfiction and on the show, the growing friendship between Kelly and Pam. They actually complement each other well.

Oh well, I guess that's bu-bye to Karen. So, *so* sad.
So, how am I at conveying sarcasm in writing?
I've been saving this fic for when I had time in front of me to read and appreciate it. I'll try to make it all the way to 20 and review as I go along.

"It’s those things that made me just…fall so ridiculously in love with you" GUH, SQUEE, and many other superlatives. Can't wait to see what follows this!
Date: October 18, 2006 02:12 pm Title: Chapter 20
It's scary really how impossibly giddy I get whenever I read a fic where Jim and Pam are just happy. You know, like this. Angst free and in love.
See, Greg Daniel and Co.? It's NOT. THAT. HARD.
Wonderful chapter. Now I feel all warm and fuzzy. Thanks.

I’ll do anything you want me to. Just keep looking at me that way. And take your shirt off.
Oh YETH. Jim with no shirt. Yes yes yes. Mmmm. Can't wait for the next chapter...
Author's Response: I'm such a shirtless Jim whore, I swear. Got your email by the way, and you are more than welcome to Jonathan! :o)
Date: October 18, 2006 08:48 am Title: Chapter 20
Oh, girl7, you are awesome -- the sketch of the hands -- that shirt is SO coming off later -- all Pomegranate Martini lip-smackingly good stuff!
Author's Response: Hee hee - thanks so much for the review! Glad you liked it --
Date: October 18, 2006 06:38 am Title: Chapter 20
Well that was a sweet chapter. That shirt is so coming off later. YES
Author's Response: Oh yes it is. :o) Thanks!
Date: October 18, 2006 05:55 am Title: Chapter 20
Another wonderful chapter. Thank you for bringing them together and letting us see the good stuff!
Author's Response: Thank YOU for the review!
Date: October 18, 2006 05:25 am Title: Chapter 20
Awww...they're so sweet; I love it!
Date: October 18, 2006 05:23 am Title: Chapter 20
If he only knew that I've been secretly hoping he would call me. Sigh!!
Another great chapter. I hope you know you are responsible for making me late for work today, but it's worth it.

I loved how Jon reacted to their being together - so happpy and sweet. And I truly loved the hot steamy action at the end. Wow! I bet Pam never goes home, unless she takes him with her! I know I wouldn't want to be more than a minute or two away from him.
Date: October 17, 2006 06:35 pm Title: Chapter 18
This sounded so like them. Can't wait to see the prank they play on Jon. I hope it isn't too bad, he's been so supportive of them!
Date: October 17, 2006 01:14 pm Title: Chapter 19
I'm so glad she didn't leave in the morning to go home to primp - seriously, given the choice between round two with Jim and Kelly's beauty tips? Especially like the part where he's kneeling in front of her...oh my. How luscious.
This was nice and juicy and great fun to read. Can it go for, say, another 45 chapters or so? Is that asking too much?
Author's Response:
Yeah, the kneeling thing just sort of came out of nowhere. I actually had had every intention (as she said) of stopping it at a kiss, then I found myself writing the kneeling thing, and it suddenly occurred to me that there would just be no way in hell she'd be able not to just....
Sigh.
This'll go on for a bit, I think. One of the things I enjoyed about writing After the Fall was that I think it went on for like four chapters or so after he and Pam got together - granted, they were doing the "rules" obeying, but I just had such a great time writing them cooking dinner together and hanging out.
Sort of like your last vignette - seeing them together, blissful, happy.....
Thanks for the review!

I love the revelation to Jon, and how he's very...understanding. :-)
Author's Response:
I'm just now getting around to responding to the reviews - ugh!
Thank you, as always, for taking the time to review! And yeah, Jon had to get out of there. :o)
Date: October 17, 2006 07:25 am Title: Chapter 19
Yup -- had to read this one first this morning too!!!!
LOVE this: "Glad you could finally join me"
-- can we beg you for some more JAM please? It is only Sunday morning, still plenty of weekend left -- not to mention how delicious Monday morning might be...
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad you liked that line. I'm a sucker for writing angsty stuff, but I'm really enjoying envisioning a happy future for them. :o)
And yeah - I'll write more tonight, don't worry! ;o)
Date: October 17, 2006 06:22 am Title: Chapter 19
Now that was some breakfast. :-)
Author's Response:
*snort*
....sigh (imagining breakfast with Jim Halpert)
Date: October 17, 2006 06:08 am Title: Chapter 19
Had to read this one first today to see the prank. Lovely and wonderful chapter.
Author's Response:
Yeah, so the prank wasn't really a prank - just a surprise breakfast with Pam standing there all nonchalant. I didn't clarify it, but they ran out to the store around the corner (conveniently) to grab the stuff, and they both cooked the breakfast. The shaving cream/shower steam was to overpower the smell of pancakes and such. ...As if it would. :o)
Thanks for the review!
Date: October 17, 2006 06:01 am Title: Chapter 19
My goodness. Rolling right along with the happy, and then we get this steaminess. Excellent job, as always. Loved every word!
Author's Response:
I tell you, bitterpill, the steaminess just came right out of nowhere! :o)
Thanks for reviewing!
Date: October 17, 2006 05:35 am Title: Chapter 19
They're so happy and sweet, and he is so TOTALLY her bitch. Hee.
Author's Response: Ha! Thank you so much for the review; you're so great about reviewing, I swear. And yes - he is so her bitch. :o)
Date: October 16, 2006 06:38 pm Title: Chapter 18
You're leaving it there? Very sweet morning-after talk.
Author's Response: Nope, not leaving it there. :o)
