This was such a cute story, and seeing Jim and Pam get together is always a treat.
Thank you for writing and sharing!

Nice chapter. And by nice I don't mean 'here's a throwaway adjective', I mean you really struck a balance between exploring Roy and Jim... and it didn't seem far-fetched at all for Roy to ask what he did. Personally, I'd think Jim would be one of the first people Roy would go to for advice or information because he has the inside track on Pam. And imagining Jim playing basketball is always a winner ;)

What a lovely way to conclude. The key-exchange was very cute, the couch interactions very hot, and the ending very sweet. I loved this story the whole way through!
Author's Response: YAY!!! I'm so glad. Thanks for reviewing all along the way Semby! It means alot. :)

Wow, what an ending and what an....interesting euphemism ;)! Although I'm seriously so sad that this story is over as it's definitely one of my favorite's of yours, and that's saying a lot. Thanks for this wonderful Christmas present!
Author's Response:
I know. I know. But honestly - it wasn't even like I had a choice!!!
I'm sad it's done too and I'm so very glad you liked it. You are most welcome!

"Time to raise the bar Beesly."
And we have our slogan for season 3, folks.
Also: partridge in a pear tree? Definitely a euphemism.
;)
Lovely fic...
Author's Response:
heehee!
TOTALLY.
Thank you muchly Shan - for unleashing your inner fangirl to tell me so. :) It was a lovely way to start the New Year.

He leans against the counter, crossing his feet at the ankles. He looks at her over the rim of his mug. "So I can watch you leave."
Hee. And the doves. Yay.
Author's Response:
I had this discussion with my best friend last night at dinner - she's well aware of my obsession but only has a passing interest in all things re: The Office. She was saying that it'll get boring if (WHEN) Jim & Pam get their acts together and I was like - NO! Cause we'll really only see them at work and there'll be all these little moments and I almost cited that one before I realized it hadn't really happened.
But now - it totally HAS TO.

Now I'm all flustered. She kissed him!
And duck, duck, goose? YES!!!
But before that, the Awkward on the couch, and then the bigger Awkward outside? Just yay, Krissy. Great chapter.
Author's Response:
She totally did!!
The geese thing was awful. Just awful. When ABC aired I almost went with Dwight's little Christmas offering but then I was inspired.
Oh the Awkward. Will it ever end?!?
Thanks so much though. I was all kinds of nervous about this one.

I can just see Sasha going, "Duh, Jim." after that last line. Or maybe that was me. ;) Nice correlation for swans!

Dude. I see what you mean about reading the "tamer" version before.
Seriously. Think about upping that rating there, buddy, lest children wander in here by mistake looking for a wholesome x-mas tale. ^_~
Thanks.(again)

I just loved this story! Such a unique idea and you just stayed so true to who the characters are. AND managed to give us a great big happy ending. LOVE IT! Thanks so much for the Christmas gift that kept giving. hehe

Is it sad to say that I will probably never listen this song the same way ever again? ;-) I LOVED this chapter! What a freakin' creative way of portraying a partridge in a pear tree. Oh my God.
Author's Response:
You and me both noodles. You and me both. :)
Seriously - when I stumbled across that little explantion of the lyric I was like...hell yeah!!
And then my only problem was trying not to make it resemble a bad porno movie. Glad you think I succeeded!

Ahhhh, xoxoxo, this chapter was - hands down - the best in the series. (And that's saying a lot.) I love the way you illustrate Pam's complexities here - so many people, I think, try to either sorely overestimate her (look at FNB go!) or sadly underestimate her (FNB's still a passive sap!), when really neither of those descriptions does her justice. You've nailed it here - captured her struggle with her past & the insecurities that stem from it, while at the same time really celebrating the way she's moving forward, being brave with Jim.
And the smut....? Whoa - very, very, very hot. So good. [/Jim]
BTW: Heh heh, you slipped into a bit of forearm/wrist lust there, didn't you?? Loved that she was distracted by the way he checked his watch and especially loved your description of it.
Author's Response:
You're making me blush girl7! I'm with you. Pam's a walking contradiction and Jim (at least my version of him) totally gets that.
Who me? Wrist lust? I have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

This was a great fic...a blast to read, well done and surprisingly on theme. I hope you'll have more Jam fics for us in the New Year.
Author's Response:
Umm...Luna? More Jam fics from me? Is the Pope Catholic?
See? I can't help myself. It's inevitable.
Heathen? Party of one? Your table is now available. :)

Well, if you're going to hell in a handbasket, I'll save you a seat. A happy ending indeed. And a happy thing for me to wake up to this morning!
Love how Pam confounds Jim's expectations (and not just re: administering torture.) I think it's part of what he loves about her - he's always seen the Pam-within-Pam. And her finding him doing mundane things - the wrist action - so hot. The essence of Jim's sly sexiness right there.
Time to raise the bar Beesly. Perfect. This is precisely the way it's supposed to be (you know you'll get no argument from me there!) And you built so beautifully and colorfully to the point where she finally gets that.
Okay, I could ramble (oops, already have,) but I love how you've subverted this old familiar song and made it such an utterly delicious template for their story. The only thing about it that bugs me is that it's over. Know any traditional Easter songs?
Author's Response:
Cool. We can totally do lunch. :)
I adore your rambles...so feel free to ramble anytime!!
Thanks for continuing to cite specific things that worked for you. I'm so glad to know what I envisioned made it's way to the page. It means more than you know.
Easter songs? Sorry. I'm stumped!
