I think what I like best about this piece is that you have captured the ol' Jim and Pam -the characters we really cared about in the beginning. I have really missed them the last few seasons. Thank you for bringing them back.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's a real compliment that you feel I captured the characters, although since I've not seen anything beyond S3 yet they don't feel like the old Jim and Pam to me! :)

Wow, that was brilliant. This line killed me,
‘I don’t have a spare hand’. “Keep it,” he says, “I’m taking enough junk with me already.” - BLOW TO THE HEART!!!
Amazing. Would love to read more like this from you :D
Author's Response: Thank you! Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that line because I quite liked it - ouch, indeed. Put he's hurting, so... *hugs Jim* :)

Wow. I've been so caught up in babyfic and all that married fluffiness so when such a powerful piece of angst comes a long...let's put it this way, I had to go watch 'Niagara' several times to put my heart at rest. And remind myself not only did it all work out in the end, but they're also a little bit fictional...!
This is so beautifully heartbreaking and heartbreakingly beautiful. And it's exactly how I imagine things would unfold between them following the epic proportions of CN. I read this with a teeny part of me hoping it'd be an AU, that Pam would confess their love, they'd hug and kiss and live happily ever after but the pace, devlopment, characterisation and ending that you've created is perfect. They're angry, they're upset, they're confused and more than anything, they're not THEM. Something's broken and that's the saddest part of all.
Anyway, I can't believe this is your first fic ehere, you have an incredible gift and I hope you share it with us again. And again. :)
Author's Response: LOL! A little bit fictional... Are they?? ;) So glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for taking the time to post such a lovely comment. I hope to write a bit more Office fic. I'm a little bit obsessed right now!

Wow this was absolutely beautiful! So intense and so heartbreaking, but beautiful nonetheless. I really loved it, which I usually don't with fics with this much angst, but you really captured it all perfectly, I think. Is it too much to hope for a sequel? Where fluff ensues? :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, despite the angst levels! I may well write some fluff in the future, but for now I'm all about the angst! ;)

This is fantastic! So heart-wrenchingly realistic, from both of their perspectives--very hard to capture. I've wondered about the immediate fallout, how Jim left, if they talked at all, etc., and this is an amazingly realistic depiction. Well done! Thanks for posting.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really wondered what had happened between them before he left, it's not like he could have not gone in the next day! I'm glad this seemed real to you. :)

It hurts to remember the angst, but you did an absolutely awesome job with this. (Sniffs audibly.)
Author's Response: Thank you - I love the angst! ;) I'm a real sucker for it! So pleased you enjoyed this, and I appreciate the comment.

I honestly do not think I could write a review for this story that would do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful, angst and all. It felt like you had every single character spot-on, including Angry Jim. It just made my heart break. You're quite the writer! So welcome to the Office party, and please keep writing!! :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, especially as it's my first foray into The Office fic. :) Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it.

Author's Response: Thank you for reading and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the angst, I'm a sucker for it myself. :)
