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.

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.

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!

Yay! This made me get all teary, especially after they just replayed Conflict Resolution. They better get to this point some day. This is just too beautiful.

I loved this entire story. I liked that Pam recognized Jim was perfect, but the way he loved her was. Great point and very realistic. I'm sad this story is over, but look forward to your future fics.
Author's Response: Awww. Thanks TV_Buffy! As for what's next - I'm reallllly anxious to see how close - if at all - any of us have gotten to what happens in S3. The anticipation is very near killing me.

So lovely. This is definitely one of my favorites of yours, and I'm sad it's over! I'm glad Pam was FINALLY able to figure it out. And this:
She knows now that even in the dead of winter he is unbelievably warm
Really makes me want to snuggle with Jim Halpert. But I digress. Great job!!
Author's Response: Thanks pennylane! Yay for Pam who finally "gets it". I mean honestly. She needs to wise up. Hee for Jim snuggles. How wonderful would THAT be????

No, say it's not so. I hate when things I love to read end (hence my preference for novels over short stories.) Well, sweet and true to the very end.
Author's Response: I know. It's like you go through withdrawal isn't it?? I see you started something new so at least I'll be able to fill my time with that. LOL! That and finishing the Pool Party fic. So glad you liked it!
