Thanks for this. It's delightful. And the smut is pretty well done too.

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.”

Nice tonal shift here (and then back) with flirty Jim, which you did quite well.

I’m in love with you.” She blurted desperately. She couldn’t bear this anymore, couldn’t stand to see him so devastated, no matter how drunk he was.

I'm glad she finally decided to stop generating angst. Even if he is drunk. As someone once said, you gotta take a chance on something sometime, Pam.

Well dang. That was more than I expected from Jim there. Someone's really hurting-- and being an ass.

"there was no malice or bitterness that she detected from him, just a deep, profound disillusionment."

This is, I think, a classic girl7ism. It really builds the angst while also clearing both our heroes from blame.

Ohhhhhh! Fantastic story! I never get enough of your work, Your writing is causing me to procrastinate on all the grading I should be doing, but I love it! You need to just lock yourself in a room and write Jam stories for all us junkies. Thank you, thank you! 

Author's Response:

Ha! Well if it's any consolation, my writing causes ME to procrastinate on all the grading I myself should be doing!  (Seriously -- dear god.)  And believe me, if I could lock myself in a room and just write all day long, I would be a happy, happy woman.  :o)

So glad you enjoyed this one!  A lot of my older stuff makes me cringe (and I mean seriously cringe), but I had a lot of fun writing this one.  (The idea of a silly, flirty, drunken Jim was just too cute not to explore....)

Thanks so much for reviewing -- and I'm glad you're enjoying it!  :o)

Okay. Steam and Smut. I shall read it. Or at least skim it and have it blow my mind. Whatever

Not that I've ever been drunk, but I can imagine waking up and seeing Jim (switched person since I am straight) would pretty much still make it an awesome morning.

I can almost certaily say my bathroom is not as girly as Pam's. Like, well, granted, I was in a dorm. But, I mean, it was white (dirty), and I just had one shampoo, one conditioner, and one bar of soap. I am not a girly girl like that. But I may be. I am becoming more girly as I grow up. So who knows what is possible :D

Lalala, they do stuff. And they live happily ever after.
Perfect timing for dinner :)

Author's Response:

Okay, Miss Emily Halpert (or should that be MRS. ?), you absolutely made my week with all the reviews.  And I fully intend to respond to them as soon as I have time (read: finish the story I'm obsessively working on).  But for the time being -- it was such a treat to get feedback on some of my older stuff!  (As I mentioned in another response, occasionally I'll re-read an older work, and...OMG, some of the earliest ones make me literally cover my face with my hand in shame.  Seriously.)

So it was great to get feedback on stories I wrote a while ago!  (And I should say, given your distaste for smut, I was SHOCKED that you actually read the Jim/Jan one!  That one still shocks ME when I think about it, LOL.)

Again: Thank you so much!

Okay, I will try to remember to mention if I think it is in or out of character for Jim. BUt I really don't care. I think you could make Jim an alien and I would still love it. So I probably am not the best .... um, best whatever.

I so friggin love Drunk!Jim! He is so cute and adorable and silly!

Can I watch Jim undress? Pretty please?

I am really hoping that Jim's mom never tucked him in like THAT!

This in no way relates to the story. But I was just asked what concert I would rather go to.
Pavoratti, Spice Girls, or a possible Willie Nelson.
Pavoratti was a possible I could get ejoyment. Spice Girls would have been great because of the mocking ablility. And Willie Nelson because its a weird joke betwee me and my mom.
I told you it didn't relate to the story, I just needed to tell someone. (I am so weird like that.)

On to the story. And already, two paragraphs in, I am like, poor Pam. That is awful. My stomach is i knots for poor Pam.

God, poor Pam. I mean, I know I've said that. Two times already. BUt that is an awful sick feeling!

I so know that feeling. I mean, not the feeling of "guy i like is having sex with cheap blonde floozy" but that sick and can't do anything about it feeling.

Jon called!

Okay, already, I love Jon. He forces them to think and take away pretenses!

You don't think Jim and Floozy are playing Go Fis? Monoplopy maybe. Yeah, Monopoly.

Damn that floozy is doing things I try my hardest to act like don't exist!!!

"It annoyed him that she didn’t immediately reach to tuck it shyly behind her ear."
ot really related, but every once in a while, I do something, and its like, that would be what Pam would do. Like tucking my hair behind my ear. Or twirling my ring, or fiddling with my necklace. Even mundane behaviors are all about Jim and Pam now. I like it :)

PAM ARRIVED! Its like super Pam! Like super FNB! Its all sorts of awesome

Holy crap! She finally told him. Not at all as romantic as casino night, but she told him! she told hiM!

Grr. Blondes are never up to any good. Specially when they hit on Jim. He only likes red/brown, curly haired people, just realize that everyone else in the world.

"Yeah. I need you to go and get that blond woman the fuck away from Jim.  "
I think thats a perfectly reasonable request.

Oh come on, CANDY!? What sort of name is CANDY!? Besides a name for a blonde floozy.

Of course the merger was all Jim. He conquered the Stamford branch and brought it to its knees. Go Jim! (why did I have a flash of like GI Joe right there?)

Jim, why ignore the looks. You know te looks. You know the pain behind the looks. Don't ignore it. I don't care if she didn't make the first move. I mean, seriously, she's been through a lot. I know you put yourself out there last time, but you could have at least tried to be more receptive. She did ask you for coffee. You just blew her off. You weren't trying to hear her. Gah! Jim!

This is one of the many times I want to try to see when this was published verus when the episode aired. Because its slightly different than the real episode, but it isn't, and so, I want to know just how psychic are you.

Okay, but, it still breaks my heart realizing how heartbroken Jim was on Casino Night. Damn, I feel tears in my eyes. Okay, lalala. Happy stuff. Jim and Pam are together now.

I like this Karen better. She at lesat realizes and accepts that Jim was runnin away from Pam. I like it.

Okay, come on Pam. You need to say more than a "good morning" I mean, maybe a goodmorning while kissing the crap out of him would be a good sign. I mean, its a thought Pam. Just keep it in mind next time.

Oh Pam. As much as I hate the fact you did't call Jim, I can understand why you didn't. I hate it. But I understand. *repeats mantra to herself*

Gah, yeah, Jim's face when Michael said "have fun on your date" was just.... gah!

You won't get there Jim. Not without some give and take from both of you. Too much happened, too serious

Wow, more girl crush. Because Pam in that shirt and jeans. How could Jim not just jump her right then and there?

Jon would be 'fucking hot'. Just saying. But Pam's right. All Jim.

Awww!! I loved Drunk and Flirty Jim! :D

Such a great fic! :D

Author's Response:

Heh, I wrote this one forever ago, but I do recall having a grand old time writing Drunk!Flirty!Jim.  :o) (Now if only we could see him on the show....)

Thanks so much for reviewing!

You are cruel.  Very, very cruel.  Ending the story at such a climax (TWSS).  Again, another amazing story.  It is truly my pleasure to write these little blurbs of reviews because its is truly a joy to read such beautifully written prose. You are extremely talented.

“I’m so…fucking in love with you.” He whispered then, sending a shock right down her spine."  What a hot line.  Ahh, to be loved like that.

OMG -- I am loving Shirtless!Jim -- and how Pam arranges to keep him that way -- go girl!!  And as often as I have replayed the heartache of Casino Night, (she turned me down, twice) I am so thrilled how with your story we get to hear Pam's confession -- twice -- thanks to Drunk!Jim.  Great job with these characterizations  :o)

Reviewer: lisahoo Signed [Report This]

Ooh, I am hoping Drunk!Jim on the show will be HALF as satisfying as your Drunk!Jim!!  And I think it is a TOTALLY believeable characterization -- nicely done.

I knew I could count on you to deliver my boy from his agony. And how.

When he says, 'God, I want to...' well, oh my. Yeah. Somehow when you write, the throaty, low Jim-in-lust/love voice is downright audible. Most effective, Miss Girl. As always, I'm sorry to see the story end (and there aren't many stories with like 900 chapters that I can say that about...though this one was relatively brief for you. Point remains the same. Never stop. Ahem.)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!  Whew. Wow. [/Jim] You write lovely foreplay. I very much like the part where his head whips back around to her "as if she'd called his name". Very nice touch.  Is there more? You give us such lovely, lingering detail (NakedChestJim, yummy), I was a little disappointed when we abruptly wound things up with "He made love to her on the couch".  But I love it when you make his voice all hoarse and desperate, "I never will." Oooo! *shiver* Niiiiice, as Kev would say.

This was a perfect update.  Never apologize for going the steam/smut route.  You do it with such affection for these characters...it always has heart.  Well done.

Ahhh...never stop! Yes, much like the steamy Jam smut you've created should never stop.
