Very few things have ever made me giddy at work. This is definitely one of them. Just perfect with Pam driving his car and trying not to look at him, and Jim taking her seatbelt off. So lovely.

No!!! Not the end! Never the end! I think you should ban those two words from your vocabulary. Or at least suspend them just for this story. Well, no, I'm not sure how practical it would be to ban the word the. But anyway, I've really enjoyed this, and I just don't want it to be over yet. Thanks for another great chapter!

Nice chapter! It was really weird to read about them kind of "life after DM", but you did it really well. I had to stop and think about just how weird it would be for Pam, and for all of them, to come back for one last interview, hoping not to see Michael's car there and stuff. I don't know, that part just got me.
And I thought you wrote Roy very well. You got the awkwardness, but it was also the little things, like Roy and Pam starting to speak at the same time, Roy getting up when Jim walked in...things like that.
Looking forward to more!

YAY. Awesome as usual...everything that we love about S2 is all here and the story itself is so original and perfectly in character! This is so much fun to read.

Oh, this is the stuff we missed last summer -- the details about getting on with your life after the end of such a long relationship (Pam's plans to give Roy's niece her old lunchbox, the way Roy's hand looks without his ring). I like that you have Roy moving out here, not Pam.
"Shut up," she says. "I read books."
SUCH a Pam thing to say. :D
And Pam and Jim teaming up on Dwight -- am I right in thinking it sounds eerily like Jim lives in Godric's Hollow? -- and oh, man, I hope they get to the making out soon. :D and <3.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I just read this entire thing on lunch break, and wasn't paying attention to the chapters... then I search for NEXT and THERE IS NO NEXT!
Umm yeah, this story is wonderful and sad and funny and touching, which is pretty much the norm for the Warning Labels authors - can't wait for the next chapter.

Dude, I love this - it's so tentative and wistful and delicate, and the awkwardness is just right. Faaaabulous.

Great! I totally didn't get that you were referencing HP until the green light thing. Heeee

Oh wow this is good. That wasn't surprise just happiness. I just love your tone and the fact that you mix up the angst with fun and also I can't wait to see what happens with Jim and Pam!!! Plus it was great to see Dwight. I hope the Ministry of Magic tracks him down before he can report his findings to all the other Muggles. ;)

Oh, hee, owls. I love them messing with Dwight...and Jim not knowing and Pam not knowing what to say. This just keeps being so good!

Homg, the awkwardness of this chapter is just palpable. SO good! I just love how this is an AU where I really feel like I'm watching some sort of alternate season 2. <333

Oh, that awkward first meet up after the break-up, fighting against familiarity and wanting to cry...and then there's still Jim, and it's just all SO GOOD. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

GOOD LORD. Here I am, playing catch up, and thank God that I waited to read this until you had the next chapter up. Pam's memory of Roy in her dorm bed and wanting him to stay forever was just...perfect Pam (and SO something someone her age can relate with) and broke my heart, and then the next part with the thinking about Jim broke it further. And the END. Okay, I'm not going to babble any further and am going to read the next chapter.

I love how you're following the thread of this AU. Seriously, the plot is just awesome, and fantastically written as always.

"Pam," he says. "I'm-- it's not just a crush, Pam, and I'm not over it and. I didn't want you to leave without telling you." Oh, wow. He kisses her, she kisses him, then the confession. I really like where this is going.

OH, MY HEART.
Date: June 16, 2007 06:45 pm Title: Chapter 6
Whoa! I did not expect that!
I like though, that Roy really isn't the bad guy here. He's just trying to be sensible. The problem is, for Pam, that he hasn't earned the goodwill, relationship-wise, to be sensible right then.
Really good. I loved it.

I really love where this is headed. Great job!

Oh, come on, Pam! Be truthful! Take some chances! :)
I'm loving it all!
Author's Response: Thank you!

That was a great Creed moment. I can picture it perfectly. Everything is quiet and then you hear Creed shouting out something from the '60s. So great!!
Author's Response: Heeee, thanks!

My regret of the day is that it's taken me so long to discover this story! I'm enjoying it so much. You're really tackled the AU frontier with style and creativity, and I'm loving every bit of this. You also write Roy really well, which I always appreciate in a story; so many folks are tempted to make him a 2-dimensional jerk, but you've given him the kind of depth that helps us understand why they were together in the first place.
This scene on the roof was powerful and perfect. I can't wait to click "next" so I can read the next chapter! --CH
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad to hear you're liking it. :) And yeah, I think the whole situation is so much more realistic and interesting (and sad) if he's not an evil guy, he's just the *wrong* guy.

OH! This is sooo good. I think my heart stopped twice!
1) She needs to stop thinking about it. She can't stop thinking about it.
2)"No," she says, and oh, god, the way he's looking at her.
I love the way she's waiting for something to happen, to change, to make sense- and suddenly she is the one changing things, making her own sense. Brilliant.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, that's a lovely way to put it! And whee, I'm so pleased to know those lines worked. (Especially as the first one was a last minute addition!)
