Wow, that got intense! Shame on Jim and how he handled this whole situation. Let's hope he turns around and makes it better tomorrow...
FYI, I noticed a couple typos in this, like "face the face" and "a goof half hour"

Holy Crap. this was ... i dont know if I have the words. I actually had tears in my eyes. When Jim said this " You can’t deal with the fact that she’s perfect for me, that you don’t have anything over her, that we might be-"
broke my heart . I do love angst generally much more than I love fluff, but I am hoping that this gets fluffy soon, although i will enjoy the journey.

HOLY CRAP! This was fantastic! I loved every word that Pam said to Jim--she's soooo right and I'm pissed at Jim that he tried to hurt her so badly
I hope he feels like crap for a good long time...and I'm more than a little worried about Pam right now--update soon!!

Oh, wow. I'm not sure if I hate this or love it. I love it for being so well-written, with everyone in character (despite the heightened emotions we so rarely see on the show) and a really unique post-Cocktails scenario. But I kind of hate it b/c I can really see Jim responding to Pam's declaration of love if/when it comes like this ignoring it in favor of focusing on all of the 'progress' he's made. Overall, though, awesome fic and I can't wait to read more.

I really hope that you update this soon; it is pretty amazing, a fact I'm sure you already know. There's something brutally honest about it. While I love the stories where one of them reveals their true love and then kisses ensue, this story seems so realistis. Admitting you love somone is like a confession and certainly doesn't always end in happily ever after. Though I hope this story does have a happy ending (meaning Pam and Jim together), congratulations on an incredible set-up. You're a fantastic writer. PLEASE UPDATE SOON!

oh man this is intense! good writing i cant wait for the next post!

I have to say that I really like it when authors make Jim and Pam fight. Because I really do think that it's the best way to kind of...cleanse themselves of all that negative angst.
The way that you're handling the story is very realistic. Because the truth is that pride is a HUGE factor in most people's relationships with one another, and pride makes us stupid 100% of the time.
What I'm trying to say is that this is awesome. And I love the fact the title is a Lifehouse song. I always thought that it was appropriate for Jim and Pam's relationship.
Thanks.
cheers.

gah! please update soon!

Love a good fight! Well done.
And Roy!? Uh oh! Excited for an update!
Nice work.

Whoa -- this is really different take on what happens after Pam's 'big reveal'! And Jim's rationale makes some sort of sense -- in his world, anyway. he’s (almost) sure now, why he hadn’t been happy when she’d told him yesterday. He can’t let the past months have been a waste.
I really like how you are taking us down a different path, not the 'chick-flick' overly romanticized one. Looking forward to more!

Maybe the jumping bones, rainbows and ponies ending starts in the next chapter? I'll keep reading any chapters that come along, and maybe I'll get the happy later.
This chapter is awesome, though. That's one of the best fights ever, I think. It's also fantastic that Roy is at the door, and still (or again) mad! Of course, we all expect Jim at the door, all contrite and I love you-ish! But that wouldn't necessarily fit with how Jim's been since Pam's confession!
You did a wonderful job explaining Jim's actions here. This is just fantastic and angsty and I look forward to more.

ouch ouch ouch. This just makes me wnat to curl up and go cry, it's so good though. The whole thing at the end about chick flicks is so true! What's going to happen? Ah! More please!!
Date: April 11, 2007 06:39 am Title: Fairy Tales and Castles
oh my goodness!!! drama!!! i want to say that i can't believe Jim would be this mean to Pam, but after The Negotiation... who knows. anyway, it's great. thanks for keeping me on the edge of my seat.
and i get what Pam's saying with the love and hate at the same time. i'm feeling a little of that for Jim Halpert myself right about now.

Oh, I love the angst you've got going here. Can't wait for the next chapter! And what is Roy going to do???
Date: April 11, 2007 01:33 am Title: Fairy Tales and Castles
Oh noooooo. Not angry, drunken Roy. Dammit. I hope Pam is going to be okay.
Date: April 11, 2007 12:45 am Title: Fairy Tales and Castles
oh my god, you CANNOT leave me hanging there. I have to say, this is the best fic i've read on here so far, the BEST! You managed to give us an angry Jim and Pam that were actually believable, and wow, oh so heart-wrenching. Please, PLEASE update this soon!
