Okay this story surprised the hell out of me. I am open-minded... Jim "pressing" Ryan into the elevator is okay in this world.

Oh, wow wow. Such wonderful stuff here, how their lives are so intertwined. The scene in the break room was my absolute favorite, with Kelly and Ryan being so different and yet so in sync, and Jim and Pam realizing they don't really know as much as they thought. The rest was awesome too, but that scene just really struck me!

Oh I love Kelly & Ryan. They are just so adorable in their messed up way. I love the breakroom scene where they are so in sync with each other but just glancing at them you wouldn't notice.

You write all your pieces with strength, passion, and the courage of your convictions; viewing the characters as real human beings - tragic, flawed, and fallible. This piece is no exception. I enjoyed reading it and hope to keep reading more of your creative work.

The end note is my favourite part. But he can't be whoring because no one has given him any money yet.

Ha! I love your end note--LOL!
Great stories. Each one was a little jewel. I love them!

Amazing. I love how Ryan gets tangled into the Jim/Pam drama, not b/c he actually wants to or cares but b/c he's slowly being sucked into the Office environment and he doesn't have the desire/strength to fight it. Loved the Ryan/Kelly in the kitchen, with the parellels b/w his babbling and Kelly's. And the string cheese! And giving Pam the photo! And Ryan getting all kinds of action! Awesome.

This is fantastic! I'm always up for some Ryan/Jim for some reason, and this fic had everything I could ever want in a fic.

What a spot-on fic...Boone's Farm is exactly what Kelly would drink casually. Perfect.
And I did NOT expect the sudden Jim/Ryan action...hello!

I loved the contrasts you present between happy and surprisingly functional Kelly and Ryan, and miserable because they're apart and being stupid Kelly and Ryan. Very well written, and fun to read.

I can't believe Kelly actually knows who's running.
Sounds like Kelly knows who is running and who he's running away from. This is beautiful, from top to tail.

Honest review time: I loved the first four, I mean LOVED them, especially II because the Ryan/Kelly sweetness was just awesome. But as hard as I tried I couldn't get past V. It's just too much for me and it seemed to make no sense at all with the rest of the story, In the beginning(end) Ryan thinks of Jim as he always did like he never made out with him in an elevator? Somehow I think that might change his opinion on things.
Oh well, what do I know?
Author's Response:
Well, the way I wrote the beginning (end) I tried to make it seem like Ryan really was uncomfortable talking to Jim and that he kind of wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Plus, the elevator thing was kind of just one heated moment and I think both of them probably just would rather not remind themselves that that happened at all (you can repress anything if you have to). This season in particular the two of them haven't really had any comfortable interactions, so who knows, right?
Glad you liked the other sections!

Your slutty Ryan is the prettiest slutty Ryan of all the slutty Ryans.
Awesome, as always.
(Note: The city near Scranton is prounounced "Wilkesbury," but it is spelled "Wilkes Barre." Fact: My mother - in - law is from there!)
Author's Response: You know, I think part of me knew that too, I will change that bit straight away! Thanks! :)

I'm a big fan of Ryan the whore! I totally didn't suspect the final scene though- WOWIE WOW! I enjoyed the tangy zip of this delightful fanfic.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it ;)

Oh MAN! Very nicely done! I don't think I have words for the ending.... But Jim and Pam going on about Kelly and Ryan's dysfunctional relationship in the breakroom was irony at its finest. Lovely! But what I really needed to comment on was this--
<<When he tells Pam she looks like he just killed her goldfish by slowly replacing all of the water in its bowl with vodka (no, seriously, it happened to a friend of his sophomore year and her face looked exactly like Pam’s does right now).>>
Whoa. Happened to a friend freshman year. Girl drunkenly thought that the fish might want some Everclear. Poor, poor Fishy...
Author's Response: Ahahaha, that happened to my roommate in college!! She left for the weekend and some of my guy friends thought it would be "funny" to get the fish drunk. I didn't even know they were doing it but I got blamed anyway!

There's just too many good lines to quote, so I won't do that!
I think my favorite is Ryan and Kelly in the break room/kitchen. I love that they have the parallel "agree and disagree in all the right places" going on.
My least favorite is Jim kissing Ryan. C'mon, you finally got me okay with Pam and Ryan, now it's Jim and Ryan? You're going to have to do a few more chapters to wear me down on that one.
I am planning a fic where Jim and Kelly do hook up on that Valentine's Day. Are you reading my mind or am I reading yours?
This was great!
Author's Response: Hehehe, yeah I'll have to work on winning you over with Jim/Ryan now too huh? ;) Ohh a Kelly/Jim fic! I love it. And yes, in my head they totally hooked up then, just the way he said "come to my poker game tonight" was RIDDLED with sexual implications!

*brain explodes*
Author's Response: Brain exploding in a good way? Bad way? Horrific way? I bet it would reach all the way to reception and probably get on Pam.

I just loved loved loved the Ryan/Kelly. I really believe he has genuine feelings for her and you captured that perfectly. Sharing lunch and perfume, so freaking sweet. Yay Ryan the whore!
Author's Response: Thank you! Heee, I think even Greg Daniels was rooting for Ryan the whore, I think it was on the season 1 DVD commentaries that he mentioned he wanted Ryan to be hitting on a different girl in every scene, hehehe.

OMG- love this! It's wonderful, really. Section 2 is my favorite I think. But all of them are great. I'm ok with Ryan whoring himself around, as long as he goes home to Kelly. And you can't really blame Jim for jumping Ryan in the elevator, can you? I would too!
Author's Response: Heee thanks! And thanks for the rec over at TWOP, you rock ;) I would totally jump Ryan in an elevator too... sigh.
