Can never have enough fixer uppers, I love 'em.
A mechanical note: something you've done formatting wise is not playing nice with the text size on the site here. Reading this on a phone was difficult.

This is so good! The dialogue and descriptions are perfect. I could totally picture the whole scene. Looking forward to what comes next.
Author's Response: Thank you Sprinkles! I’m glad it worked, I’m worried I’m becoming too repetitive with my bring Jim back from Stamford fics...

Ok, I'm down with this. Fanfic to me has always been a way to rewrite history. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks Donnamour! It seems I feel the need to constantly rewrite the wrongs of Season 3...

Why do you keep doing s3 fix it fics? Because they're awesome. That is a great setup and I want more. Especially Dwight telling on Pam accidentally while Michael is doing it intentionally.
Author's Response: Awesome, maybe? But also because there is so much to fix in Season 3!

There couldn't be enough 'fix-the-season-three-mess' stories, and this is going to be sooo good!
I like that even in the distance, Pam and Jim are in sync; Jim's glances at the unpleasant receptionist and Pam's count of occasions she allows herself to look at Jim's desk... it's so touching. As well as the whole aura of longing and hopelessness and despair. And it feels even more acutely when something rather comical happens - like Jim's exchange with Dwight (it was brilliant, btw). It feels like everything has to be okay, just like before, but it doesn't.
Oh, and Michael's thoughts about karaoke and his neighbor - it's so funny and so Michael!
Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thank you Dernhelm! Jim’s exchange with Dwight was what the whole idea to write this was based on, so I’m glad you liked it!

Ooooh, I am sooo excited for this!! I love a good season 3 fix-it fic, and this seems like it will be a great one. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks alyply! I love a good Season 3 fix it too - that seems to be all I write, so I’m glad to hear you’re interested in reading it!

This looks all sorts of interesting. Once again you've got morose Jim in Stamford down very well. He's still broken up not only about the conversation at the convention, but of course about Pam. Having his old habits of looking up at reception die hard was a great way to help show that.
Same goes for Pam. While it's a fun image to have her drawing that sketch of Dwight, it also feels like she's a bit lost. They're both hurting, clearly. Thus it seems like they've let their hurt and thus their fear take hold.
So enter Micheal. In his own weird way here he sees that. He feels very in character here. Not quite a good serious Michael moment in this chapter, but not to far off one of those either. Looking forward to seeing how you take this one.
Author's Response:
Thanks Warrior! I hope it differs enough from my other stories to not become too repetitive...
As to Michael, I haven’t quite decided just how aware he is of what he’s doing here. That may impact on whether or not we get a good serious Michael moment.
