I like how you turned it into Chronological order by time its interesting really I like it and hope more people does this good stuff please keep it up!

So I started the first couple of chapters, then decided to wait until you were through, considering that you were doing only a week's worth.  But honestly, this story is so real and wonderful that I wish you could have recorded their entire first summer together in "excruciating" detail.  I wouldn't have complained!

All the little details you've remembered and incorporated into your story are perfect.  I also liked how you had Karen be a significant player here.  She disappears pretty quickly in the S4 premiere, but we all know there must have been some insane awkwardness there initially, and your scenario of her walking in on the two of them obviously already intimate worked really well with the "reaming out in the kitchen" scene that followed the next day.

Lovely post TJ fic.  Reccing this on the boards.  A must for all Jim and Pam fans.  Thanks!

UGH. I'm so sad to see this story end. Maybe you could do their first week of marriage or first week of living together or first week of having a baby together...in excruciatingly great detail.

That would be AWESOME. 

Yes I'm greedy...sorry -- this was wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us. 

Well I must say I am sorry this one had to end.  It was a perfect week full of their ups and downs.  I hope we get more from you quickly!

Author's Response: Thank you muchly.  I hope to get the followup started soon.

This whole piece was just so well done - a real treat. I love how you've incorporated the canon stuff we do know about the early part of their relationship alongside other believable scenarios (Kevin and Michael's comments about Pam's new hairstyle! Gold :)).

For my personal canon, this is exactly how I will now imagine that first week went - a little awkward, perhaps hesitant at times, but full of a lot of catching up (physically and emotionally ;)).

Hope you'll be writing more soon. :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much.  I really wanted to fill in the blanks on what went on that week and I hope I did it justice.  I did think that the two of them were probably riding the high of a new relationship so the physical aspect may have been really strong.  I know if I were Pam, it would be.  LOL.

I do not think you should be allowed to end this EVER =)

I love how true to thes how you have stayed!

I freaking LOVE the characters that you've created here. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I also love how you've brought in snippets of the actual show (how Kevin got an inkling they were together, Toby and the company picnic, how Jim bought the ring).

"It just reminded me of you," he whispers.

GUH. If you could make this One Month (or so) In Excruciating Detail, I'd be uber thankful.

Ok, you get the award for creativity with that ring scene! I don't think I've ever read a "bought it a week after we started dating" account that occurred with them both in the store when Jim thinks of it. THAT was awesome.  Also awesome is your continuity with Jim not mentioning that Angela and Dwight got it on in the office as well. 

Somehow I knew it wouldn't take Pam too long to get her "appetite" back.

I love how you have written Karen I want to hug her and smack her at the same time, the poor thing- but Jim and Pam GUH, so cute, seriously you're amazing!

yayayayayay (:

Guh.... Just... GUH. Everyone thinking Jim cheated on Karen, the Pam/ Karen meeting in the parking lot, his impassioned plea at her apartment...

Ahhhhhmazing.

Also, the spreading the tuna salad phrase made me burst out laughing. To the point where my poor fiance woke up and glared at me lol

Author's Response: Ha!  That's great.  Thanks.  :-)
