Woo, boy! That went from silly to steamy, but it felt very organic. They are wonderful playmates, but there's obviously a depth of passion there that has to explode sometime, right?

Glad Pam didn't get there any later. Angry drunk Jim sure held nothing back which is exactly what Pam needed to hear.  And this line was so heartbreakingly real that it brought tears to my eyes- "Just five minutes without that sick ache in my chest, wondering what the fuck is wrong with me that you can’t just love me the way that I’ve always loved you!”

I don't review the stories at MTT nearly as often as I should, but I needed to tell you how much I've enjoyed this piece and all of your others. Your characterization and voice are always dead on. The way SoberPam and DrunkJim play out the *who's sleeping where* game is quite realistic to me. I think I've played that same game from each side at some point or another in my twenties. It's not romance novel-ish to me at all. Actually, I find it to be just the opposite.

"She shook her head at him, then added, 'I hope you know that I’m going to hold this over you for the rest of your life, Jim Halpert.'
"She was caught off guard when a serious expression darkened his features, his voice hoarse again when he said, 'You have no idea what I would give for you to do just that.''

Even DrunkJim can break my heart. :o)

Phew. Knew I could count on you to make short work of that Candy strumpet (though, I have to say, there was something oddly hot about her groping him. Am I bad?)

Alright, now the stage is set...Jim should be sobered up shortly and unless Pam is made of tougher stuff than I, she should be rearing to go. SO....end this torture! You are just soooo good at drawing it out...luckily, you're also v. good at writing the pay-off. Eagerly awaiting the conclusion!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  (And yeah, I rather enjoyed writing her groping in, because I have to say that...well, wouldn't we all love to do it?)   And yeah, I got a little in over my head - sat there last night thinking, how the hell do I fix this? So I went with silly Jim. 

And oh yeah - once he's all sober, she is so his! :o) Thanks as always for the review - and by the way - am still working on the mousse scene for Only.  ;o)

He's going to have a hell of a headache, but the lack of heartache will be more than enough compensation. :)

Author's Response: Yes, and Pam will just have take care of that headache, won't she?  :o) Thanks for the review (and the email!) --

I like drunk Jim and can't wait to see if he is that funny on the show. I hope it's drunk Jim with Pam like your fic though.

Author's Response: God, I know - I am DYING to see Drunk!Jim.  I'll bet JK could do a hilarious drunk Jim, don't you?  Or a totally angsty one.  Or an outrageously sexy drunk Jim.... Sigh.  Thanks for the review!

Author's Response: Thank you so much - and hey, I loved your latest, by the way....EXCELLENT.

 "...Just five minutes without that sick ache in my chest, wondering what the fuck is wrong with me that you can’t just love me the way that I’ve always loved you!”

This is wonderfully in character, strange to say. We have almost never seen Jim angry, yet I have no trouble believing this line. But this whole dance of who sleeps where at Pam's is silly. These two are not acting like grownups, they are acting as coy as the two-dimensional characters in a romance novel. If Pam doesn't know what he wants from her by this point in the narrative, she's an ass.

 

 



Author's Response:

Obviously she knows what he wants from her; that isn't the issue.  The issue here is that he's drunk off his ass, and it would be a bit squicky (in my opinion) of her to have sex with him after he'd been fooling around with someone else earlier in the night.  So it's less that she's being coy than it is that she wants it to happen in a different scenario and under different circumstances.  ....And I don't think he's been coy either; he's being fairly obvious about what he wants.

Thanks for the review, even if you found the characterizations insipid and lacking.

Oh wow, I would never have imagined Jim actually giving in to a girl named Candy...but I guess that's the point, right? It's all about Pam, and how she needs to just go for it and put the poor guy out of his misery.

Oh no! Please don't let him leave with Candy!  Please please please!! Pam, make a run for it!  It's not too late - I bet they aren't in the car yet!  OK, I'll calm down now.

You did a great job on the break-up with Karen. Not that one date was a relationship but that he nipped in the bud any chance of things continuing. I loved that Karen knew that he had been running away from someone in Scranton and now had to go back.

Ugh, this was painful. But the pain comes from how real it feels, and how honestly you look at the pain on both sides. As usual, you render this universe flawlessly.

Now undo it!! :)

Well. Usually I have lovelylong reviews, but this has left me reeling, because for the first time ever, I want to give Jim a resounding slap. I love him to bits, seriously, but sometimes...!!!

OK, sometimes I forget this is fanfiction and I can go watch him in episodes and other stories [even those by you!] and love him again.

...ayeeeee, I'm rambling, because it's eleven at night and I need to sleep right now. I don't like being mad at people this late, it makes me feel sad. ><

God, someone shut me up.

I loved the first chapter, actually, because there's something about your writing that always gets to me, it's just lovely, and it makes me feel warm all over, except when crazy!Jim makes an appearance [aahh], when I just skim over the chapter [like this one]. Maybe I'll come back and read this one after you put up the happy ending.

I desperately need someone to make me shut up. [Well whadya know, this came out long, anyway! Just not lovely.] Update quick. Please? I'll promise never to review again, or never to ramble again, or something.

Didn't Jim's mom ever tell him that Candy is bad for him?! I'm hanging in there for the happy Jam stuff to come!

Holy crap... wow, this is some kind of angry Jim.  I'm intrigued - Jonathan is totally going to kick his ass, right?

Okay, no sooner did I hit 'submit' on chapter 1, do I find this. Holy shit (pardon le francais.) This CANNOT be a two-parter now...I have enough faith in your Jammy dedication to know you wouldn't end it with a girl named Candy pawing our boy. Really fun to read about though!

'So Big Tuna, looks like we'll be swimmin' in your pond from now on.' Sorry, that line just cracked me up. Also Michael saying that Jim had 'conquered' Stamford. Too funny. Okay, as always, you've wet my appetite. Must have part II stat (can you tell I watched ER last night for the first time in ages...needed something to come down from my JAM phone call high.) Jim as 'man of needs', huh? Do tell.
