Great take on this turn of events. I was pleasantly surprised it was still canon-compliant at the end.

The thought of Jim and Jan, just no, but my god you wrote this so well that I could almost believe it happened.
First off, thank you for no actual Jim/Jan smut. Second, I love how this was so much about Jim and Pam, even though she wasn't there. Bravo
'He's Jim Fucking Halpert, he can pull it off' - inspired. Love it.
The theory about it being awkward if she sees his ass made SO MUCH SENSE
Mark's foreshaddowing about banging every girl in the company made me laugh, even if it was just two more.
Jan freezing her husband in place is just hilarious
She's never been anyone's best - my god, that line. Poor Jan. Never thought I'd say that!!
This has totally got me looking at Dinner Party where Jan tries to get him dancing with her and he won't in SUCH a different light.
It wasn't a Jam fic, but my god it was so good. Great job!!!

I have to say: this is excellent. I really cannot for the life of me see Jim Halpert doing this-- but you made me believe it. You made me want to keep reading to the end. The characterisation was excellent from start to finish, especially that of Jan. You kept the real background of Jim's heartbreak over Pam to keep things grounded in canon. It is an excellent work, though I am heartily glad this never happened! It just goes to show that works which challenge our perspective often tend to be the most effective. Just small issues: it would have been better to specify that it was Jan's cigarettes in the beginning of the piece. There were a few other areas where using a name would have made things clearer. Other than that, great job!

This was really well done. You write them in a way that's easily recognizable as their characters. I think they both would've had to have been very drunk to get to this point. Jan is attractive but kind of terrifying. I can't help but wonder what would've happened in this world you created if Pam had decided to drive over to his place to ask Jim to give her time or talk about things.

Well that was certainly a twist. Jim and Jan being so torn up on Casino Night that that happens. Clearly they're both in a way that I'm not sure they're thinking right. It's the implications and thoughts that follow that which I think are the heaviest burden to bear. They had that thing between them and there's no taking it back. It also feels like neither one of them wants to admit it to each other that it happened or to any future partners. It's just this thing that they can't deny happened but also won't ever, or hardly ever, talk about. Kind of like there's always going to be this splinter in their memories.
Very well written to get out a lot of those complex feelings.
Author's Response: thank you so much! this is a little darker than what id usually write but ive been thinking about these two a lot. they both wanted something just out of reach for one reason or another, and i think they’d find solace in each other for one night, but would never go further than that.
