this has to be continued asap. I went back and re-read the last few chapters...and wow, it's so deliciously angsty! from jim not being in love with pam anymore (as if!) to how heartbroken he is that karen doesn't even notice his 'devolution'.

This is so good!  I love the way Pam got between Roy and Jim, even though she ended up getting hit herself.  And my heart went "kerflumpf" (not a good thing) when Roy smashed the teapot.  But my heart actually broke when Jim didn't say anything in response to Pam's "I love you" and instead bolted from the breakroom when Karen called him.  Please don't leave us hanging - I can't wait to see why Jim reacted the way that he did.   

Oh, frick, I think this is absolutely brilliant. Amazing. Wonderful. Just - wow, so good. So good. I can't even wrap my head around it. Or make any sense. 

It's the descriptions, and the Pam, even though she's not even being Pam so much anymore, maybe a FNB v2.0, the version that makes sure Roy knows, that Jim knows, that she cries but she doesn't hide, even if she may want to, the version that tells Jim and reacts to things. To everything. 

Absolutely lovely. The details were absolutely amazing, and - wow.

And the END. Updating as soon as you can would be a good idea, yeah, because this is genuinely killing me. How can he - how can he do that?! Does he think that's the way she reacted after Casino Night? Does he realise the comparison is so vast it's not even fair? Jim could see, could tell that Pam felt something for him, anything, that she wasn't happy with Roy, but now, Karen's with him, and Karen's nice [not that I always think so, right now, in canon and in this story and most other stories I'd like her to dive off a cliff], and does she think anything will come out of it? Is it even half the same if they aren't friends, if she absolutely no inkling about her feelings for her [in fact I'm pretty sure she's sure he really, really dislikes her], and just...

Wow. I want to throttle him, shake him and shake him and smack his forehead for him because this is not fair. This is not fair.

Oh, gods, I'm sorry, I don't usually go off on tangents like this, but the - wow. So painful. I feel awful for Pam, I really do. I know she made mistakes, too, but I've been unbelievably mad at Jim at a lot of points during this season and, well, we have seen Pam cry. 

I really love this! Seriously, updating as soon as you can, because otherwise you'll have me thinking of this for the rest of the day. ;)  

That was fantastic!!!  I'm so thoroughly addicted already!  I can't wait to see where you go with this (at least I hope it wasn't a one parter--there's no little 'Yes' next to 'Completed' so I can only hope that that means you plan to continue....)

 The emotions and detail you put into this were really amazing--it was heartbreaking, but oh so good---please continue!!

Oh, wow! I need more of this

I started crying as soon as Roy broke the teapot. That was a great idea. And I loved the return of Booze Cruise Micheal.

Well I should hope that you will be updating soon! You certainly can not stop here. How horrifying. (I mean, good job, but come on...)  

Interesting.  I'm not sure why Pam would fight the urge to keep talking.  I would think anything more she would say (such as the things you wrote there) would help her cause. Plus, I can't imagine 2 minutes of silence before she questions him and then another minute.

Perhaps Jim is just trying to think of the very best place and time to jump Pam's bones.  Yep.  Now I've found my happy explanation.  Rainbows and ponies for me. 

I'll be interested to see what happens next. 

OooOOoOoOOoOOooooh!  I hope you update SOON.  I know it's gotta have a happy ending, because even if Jim were over Pam--which he's not and never will be!--he wouldn't just leave her wondering like that.  You must have somethin' sneaky in mind for the next chapter.  Like, maybe...hmm...a breakup with Karen, the shipwrecker?  ;)

And on a more fawning note, I loved the fight scene.  I keep imagining what it'll be like on the show, and I have a feeling it won't be nearly as good as the way you wrote it.  So much emotion caused by just a few blows.  The teapot--THE TEAPOT!  That was a wonderful touch.  My heart was just breaking for Pam.

Can't wait to read more! 

Oh man. First the teapot gets broken (noooooo!) and then Jim has no response to her declaration? Ack!

Favorite part: Pam has to fight the urge to keep talking.  Talk about how she knows it’s the wrong time, how she’s been in love with him for so long, how she’s sorry she was too stupid to realize.  How she wants a second change.  But she does fight it, preferring to just let the words echo around them while she wait for his reaction, overly aware of every resounding beat of her heart.

So good. More, please!
