“ I think we both could.
I thought we were.
That must have just been
my interpretation.”
I needed a moment after reading this part in particular. The way my heart dropped. This is gorgeous. Makes me want to cry but also I want to read this over and over. Amazing.

Poignant, heart-wrenching, such beautiful melancholy. Again I might add.
Keep them coming.

The format of this is breathtaking but this: Fear and
Uncertainty and
Hurt and
Envy or
Jealousy, maybe,
because I’ve never known the difference.
I sat with that for a while. That's profoundly insightful. Those emotions are so closely intertwined it's hard to know where one ends and the other begins. LOVE this BT!

Lots of big and competing emotions with this one. I get the sense that this is going through his head while he's staring mostly mindlessly out of the window during his first few days in Stamford. Feeling just kind of lost. Nice work in bringing a lot of those feelings out.

The parallel structure here is EXTREMELY cool.

In the words of Kevin Malone: "Why waste time use lot word when few word do trick?"
Meaning, how can you shatter my heart with so few words?! This was absolutely beautiful, BT, and I can't wait to read more of this kind of stuff from you. Killed it, lady. Well done!

I love this idea, of putting into the world the bits and pieces without needing a full story. And I love this first piece. It's so beautiful even in the pain and angst.

I really liked this. I love that it fits so well with both season 9 and 3. Looking forward to more 😊

Big feelings here. You're right, it works well in either S3 or S9. Both pretty hard times for Pam when all she wants is Jim. Great job in getting into her head there.

Well, this one stings. A lot. Ow.
Very well constructed and also very Pam.

BT, this is beautiful. I'm obsessed with your use of "speak my truth", and I don't even have words to express how much I love "I wish that - you still looked for me - to smile at the joke you told - instead of feeling like it."
How lucky are we that you've decided to share even more of your creativity and talent with us? Thank you, and I'm so proud of you, woman.

Wow, I can really see and feel Pam’s pain
here.
Jim definitelywas an ass in season three, and nine.
Both of those seasons showed a very unattractive, and even narcissistic, side to Jim’s personality.
Also it really annoyed me how Jim’s treatment
of Pam was never really addressed in season three. The writers made it seem that just because JAM were finally together in season four, Jim’s horrible treatment of Pam simply disappeared.
In both seasons Jim had the attitude of thinking he was entitled to treat Pam like trash because she didn’t give into what he wanted. Also Jim had the tendency of looking down on Pam and acting like she would be nowhere without him. So it’s no wonder Pam felt that she wasn’t enough for Jim, it was because he treated her as such. Actions really do speak louder than words when it comes to love.
So it’s no wonder Pam’s feelings in those seasons were that Jim didn’t think she was enough for him, and perhaps, even unwanted.

I've read this twice, so far, and I kind of wish that I hadn't seen in tonight because it hit me so hard.
When I saw it was yours, I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
I love it, I hate it, I feel it.
Now I will search frantically for some fluff.
Author's Response: I know exactly how you feel. I am sorry to give a gut punch but also is it mean of me to say that that?s the reaction I wanted? Either way, I hope the fluff you find is the fluffiest, and thank you.

Between “I wish that the things that made you happy smile blush (in the middle of the day, even) still included me.” and “I wish that I knew how to say this to you. Speak my truth without having to “speak my truth.” Because maybe if— But I have tried. And so have you” I’m not convinced that your entire goal for 2022 isn’t to emotionally ruin me at every turn.
But also, never stop. This is gorgeous and raw and beautiful writing and I am both proud of and love seeing you try new writing things. If this is just the beginning of what you can do, I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Author's Response: coley how dare you make me emotional with your words I CANT HANDLE IT

I will be coming back to read this multiple times and will hate you every time for how much it hurts but also for how freaking good this is.
“But you are busy, now.
And I don’t know
how to be a thing that can compete
with better, smarter, flashier.
Not as full of hurt.”
Expect a bill from my therapist
Author's Response: your therapist can bill mine, that?s how that works right?
