I think this might be my favorite ever description of Jim's love for Pam. So much love for this story! :) Thank you thank you thank you.

If only they'd made it that easy on us. This line is genius, I think:
He’s being torn in half, because he hurts but he’s happy and maybe he’s happy because he hurts or maybe he hurts because he’s happy.
Kind of like Jim's face every time he has some "experience" with Pam. Conflicted, confused, running the gamut of emotions.
So good...

I just thought you should know I've read this about a dozen times - it's beatiful, like all your work, but if a I read a story into double-digits, it deserves singling out for review - the words, the setting, the characterizations - all gorgeous, all amazing. I don't know how you do it. Thanks for the work.

He hears her laugh in a sombrero and he’s done, over. He’s going to marry her. He’d do it right then with a priest standing in front of the hole in the wall, with Michael giving her away and Dwight as his best man. She’d make a dress out of paper and he’d make a ring out of paper clips.
Something about this line made me cry. It's just so beautiful. I think you somehow know these people and see the poetry of their story beyond what they do or say. This is the best kind of fluff, because it is built with skill and care. You are simply amazing.

I actually felt giddy reading this. Total wish fulfillment.
...he adjusts his rearview mirror, looks at his reflection, and finally, for the first time, recognizes himself.
Incredible line. Just as it would be. This made me ridiculously happy.

Oh wow. You took that 'yes' and just exploded it. I know, I am making no sense, but wow.
And this is a great description of that laugh he's been holding in since Stamford: he feels like he might explode from all the joy and love and warmth. Guh. I know how he feels.

That was really lovely. I think I'll read it again. and then probably one more time. or Two. :-)

Whether you agonize over a story or take 20 minutes to write it I hang on every word. Oh Jim. It's exactly what I imagine was going through his mind. Poor, poor boy. He needs to be put out of his misery - and soon.
So poingant and lovely. Thank you.

This is delicious. It's not sweet, not tart, it just is, and it's refreshig as all heck. There's something about the way you've written this that just tweaks something inside of me. It makes me happy. ;D Fantastic, you talented beast you.

I hope you get in a weird mood mroe often because that was just so gorgeous! "And then he’s standing next to her again sans sombreros, but she’s close and she’s warm and all he wants is her." That is just beautiful but so is that whole story, really.

this is wonderful- just like it should happen. they're in character, they're surrendering, its truthful. Most truly descriptive and hearfelt fanfic I've read so far about JAM

I'm on such a high after this weeks episode and this just made me happier. I wondered watching the episode where was that moment where Jim realized that there's no way he's over Pam. There was a point where his mood totally changed and I think the scenario you came up with works perfectly.

I love that you made Pam-in-a-sombrero the catalyst for Jim rediscovering (un-denying?) his feelings. Sucks to be Karen, but your pointing out how Jim needs Pam to be happy is just one more reason why it just couldn't be.

This is wonderful. The tone, the mood, all of it just works with the feel of this last episode and the snow. I especially love the part about the sombreros and Jim recognizing himself for the first time. Excellent, excellent piece!

Oh, seriously. SERIOUSLY. This is absolutely amazing. Everytime I see that you have a new story written I think, "Oh, I'm sure it's great but it can't be as great this," (meaning your other, older work). But. Everytime I read a new story of yours, I'm blown away just as much (or maybe even more) by just how incredible it is. I think I'm going to have to put this one on my favorites too just because OH MAN.
I love the line about Karen's elbow moving and he's left with his finger against his thumb (it's almost like she'd never been there), I love the snow because it's always, always an excellent setting, and I love your dialogue because it's realistic not only to Jim and Pam but also to just... real life. Pam not being able to finish her sentences -- just perfect. My favorite line was definitely this: "He'd give her everything, anything, all of it, whatever she wanted, the world, the moon, his ribcage and all that's inside it." Really, I love that whole paragraph, but that line in particular struck pretty deep.
Awesome, fabulous, I love it. You are wonderful.
