I really hope they do "have it out" on the show. And I love that you've let them here, so we can have a bit of reprieve. ;) Great stuff.

Aww, now that's sweet and cuddly and I want to take it home with me. I love how he recoginizes what she must have gone through in breaking up with Roy. Very nice extension (expansion? Like an expansion pack?)
Brava.

They need to get it all out like this on the show. Good job.

WOW. Amazing - just amazing. Because the thing is, while this is definitely just powerful and dramatic and - GUH - it's not over the top. And while these two (especially Pam) are more reticent on the show, I find this completely believable; it's your choice of dialogue, what you show us inside their heads that makes it work. Good lord, what I would not give if Greg Daniels would steal this from you and use it on the show!
Oh, and this? "
He shakes his head, with a tiny smirk on his face. "Don’t be sorry, Pam. Apparently the fancy new apartment comes with a fancy new pair of balls, too."
Made me laugh out loud. Amazing work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, girl7! I so wish there would be a scene on the show where they really just yell at each other and get it all out. So it makes me happy that you thought it was believable!

I love how you draw the comparison between Pam's situation (engaged to Roy) and Jim's situation now (with Karen), but you did it in a much more thoughtful way. "I know what it feels like to be knee deep into a relationship with someone you only sort of half want to be with". And the reappearance of "What are you doing?" is just ingenious.
BTW -- this story drives a stake into the heart of the Parking Lot of Doom! Hee!
Author's Response:
Thanks, lisahoo...it's really amazing how much role reversal is going on this season, and the sympathy I felt for Jim last year I'm feeling for Pam now.
And I am determined to redeem the PLoD, and use it for good and not for evil...

Amazing how quickly he takes off his armour. All she needs is to say that one thing. And I think he truly would too. Nice progression from angst to sweet/funny. Love the bit about the kitchen and the balls. Away from the food, I hope. Too funny. Nice way to start my morning!
Author's Response: Thank you! I, too, am under the impression that it won't take much to get Jim to bring down the walls he's built, but it is going to require Pam to step out her boundaries.

I've always liked the idea of them having it out in order to move on together, but I've never seen it executed so well. This is wonderful. The fight was just enough sadness and anger, and then the tension was eased perfectly with the joke about her new pair of balls (great one!), like exhaling after holding your breath for a long time.
Amazing job.
Author's Response: I'm definitely in the camp that says they need to have it out in order to be together. Thanks so much for your review!
