This was a great story. I really liked the back and forth between each chapter and of course, seeing them get together and witnessing how right they are for each other is always nice.
Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us!

Great story! I agree with you - I like the tone of the 'Before' better. I think it's b/c you have to figure out what Pam is thinking as she goes thru this change which is really exciting for all of us b/c all we ever wanted was to see Pam grow and realize how much she loved Jim. And your story did that well. As with the show, I don't think Karen's presence was necessary and, obviously, another woman wasn't needed in your story. It is better that Pam just figured it out, albeit after Jim was gone. Anyhow, great job with this and thanks for posting!
Author's Response: This was a fun one - not in content - but in trying to weave the differences in time together. I am so with you about Karen. I know others really enjoyed her character - but I think she was once compelling and became a mere obstacle in the end. Though truth be told - the real obstacle Jim had to face was first Pam - then himself. Anyway - so glad you liked it!!

Wow, that really hit the spot. Obviously I'm late to the game but just wanted to add my praise for this magnificient work. The structure you chose worked beautifully, and your vision of them is compelling.
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! I love it when someone still finds something I wrote way back when. You are very kind. I'm so glad you liked it.

I love this. It was sweet and perfect and the rythm of the whole story just worked in so many ways.
Author's Response:
Thank you kells! This one was fun to write - back when I thought maybe they'd get their acts together pre-Merger.
I couldn't have been more wrong - but that's what makes fanfiction so much fun!

BRAVO!
this is the best Jam fic I've ever read. You induced tears. Wonderful!
Author's Response: Wow. Such high praise!! Not sure it's deserved but I thank you for saying so. So glad you enjoyed it. Sorry for the tears!

He IS perfect, isnt' he? I mean, such a checklist, in some ways, of what people who think about it want in a mate. That's why I think it's extra cool that you've just spent 10 chapters on how Pam and Jim will continue to say things that hurt each other, and will continue to fight, and will continue to really fuck up but also really, really be great together. I adore stories about relationships that don't end at happily-ever-after, and this one's fabulous. Thanks for writing. I appreciate it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. He definitely appears to be ideal doesn't he? I do think that even when they get together it won't be perfect -they won't be perfect but they will be really, really great. I'm so glad you liked it.

HEY, this is crazy, but during tonight's episode when Michael was describing the 5 stages of grief, I immediately thought of this fic. Yep..just thought I'd let you know...lol
Author's Response: HA! Well that's impressive!! I mean - I thought of it - but I wrote it. I'm happy to know someone else remembered! Thanks Winky!

Great inner monologue for Pam - I kept thinking, Why doesn't she just write it down?! But then there wouldn't be many more lovely chapters to come, right?
Author's Response: HA! She's a little sick. Finding a pen and paper might be too much to ask. Plus I liked that it was sort of jinx-y even though not nearly as playful. :)

Oh dear god. Just lovely. Lovely -- and what a great twist. I thought she was going to find a ring! But how very Jim to carry around the sketch stuff for her.....
Start a new one!!!!
Author's Response: Ha! I almost had her find both....but ultimately thought it was a little too much. I'm glad you liked it!

Gah! What a fabulous ending! Says soooo much without saying much at all, if that makes sense. You've managed to make Jim even more perfect here. Sad to see this one end, but I loved every bit of it!
Author's Response: Aw! Thanks. I know. He's just....sigh. I can't take it. I'm so glad you liked it!

First of all, have I been in a cave? No. I have no excuse for not having read + reviewed this. Bad, bad shan.
Terrific idea, great first chapter. The last two lines in particular are perfect.
Author's Response: I think you might have been away...dealing with that pesky thing called REAL LIFE. :) No worries! I'm delighted you've finally come around. ;) Thanks Shan!

Again with the tears! You're good at wrenching emotions out of me. I get both sides of the 'debate'...Jim's impatience, Pam's reluctance. There just has to be a way to work it out!
Author's Response: I think it might just turn out OK....

My eyes are tearing up as I type this...bargaining born out of (barely aknowledge) desperation is sad, and I love how you used Jan here.

Pam's an emotional mess. As was I when I typed that. The only one of the chapters I wrote here that made me tear up. And YAY for matchmaker Jan. :)
