Of course he still thought of Pam- did he think that would go away??! lol
It's always interesting to read AU where Jim took the NY job.

wow. i must admit it pained me to read that jim wanted pam to be jealous - but i can see where he was coming from. i guess i like jim always on the outside - but i don't necessarily always appreciate his motives or thoughts. but this was very well done - a chapter i would have found impossible to write but yet you seem to have done it perfectly. i'm really excited to see what happens next and how jim responds to the package and what the painting is of. probably of jim and how pam sees him in her mind. that's my guess.
okay, we must go to commercial break. what will jim do? find out after the break...
(just for a little fake dramatic effect there. kind of what was going on in my head. lol)

I love how you took hints that we got int he shows and blew them up into major character flaws--like Karen wanting to mold Jim, and Jim using her to deal with his grief over Pam...and his intertia. Good job. You even wrote David Wallace well.

I love how you made Karen like, the biggest bitch that ever lived. :D I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! I did reduce her to a plot device but this was supposed to be a SHORT story, so I had to get rid of her quickly! I'm glad you liked it.

Author's Response: Thanks.

Pam's POV would be great! I'm always comforted by the fact that there is NO WAY Jim could have been permanently happy with Karen in NY :) Great work!
Author's Response: Thanks, untherapy. I agree with you about Karen. Short-termer, for sure.

You know false pride can be a bad thing. I seems line Jim learned that the hard way in this story. I can't wait to see what he's going to do. Also looking forward to Pam's side of the story.
Author's Response:
Hi, khand3stooges:
I don't see Jim's decision being driven by false pride as much as fear. But that's the beauty of writing – the reader brings a whole set of beliefs to the table and has a different intepretation of what you put out.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Pam will be up next!

Okay VB - this is a very tasty story and I'm really liking it. But...don't forget about Cardiac Care, please? Kinda hanging over here. Oh and go ahead and write more for this one too. Not to seem too needy or whatever.
Thanks as always -
MCC

Hi, MCC:
I'm glad you're liking this story, too. I'm not forgetting Cardiac Care. I promise I'll get back to it.
Gifts was originally supposed to be a one-shot. We were stuck in traffic to the Bay Bridge after that horrible accident on Sunday. I was toying around with ideas, trying to think of something I could get up and finish in a single chapter. And I guess I could've just kept it all on my hard drive until I'd finished it but these seemed like logical chapter endings to me. Anyway, I will write a couple more chapters for this one and mark it complete. Then I'll be back at Washington Hospital Center...

Poor Jim...so glad he didn't take this route on the show! I think a chapter of Pam's POV would be good here...what made her do this now? His break-up with Karen?
Then, of course, I am dying to know what this picture consists of...
Author's Response:
Yep, I'm definitely writing a Pam POV chapter next. And, yes, I'd think the break-up had something to do with the timing of her overture.
Ah, the picture. God, I hope it won't disappoint after all the build up!

LOVE. THIS STORY. What a great chap, VB. So many good lines. My favorites:
-He wanted certainty, bravery, recklessness, passion. He couldn’t base a life altering decision on these tepid, halfhearted signals;
-It was clear, though, that she had a firm grasp on their relative positions on the Dunder-Mifflin org chart and she never once tried to speak to him in their old familiar banter. Sometimes that made him feel smugly superior; other times, frustrated. It never made him happy. Guh. Break my heart;
-He finally reached Michael on Wednesday afternoon and was told that Pam had deserted them to go to art school because she thought she looked hot in a beret. LOL!
- It occurred to Jim that he was living with an upscale Kelly Kapoor, one who spoke in a normal tone of voice and speed, but a shallow Kelly nonetheless. I think that's my most favorite.
So, anyway, end of rambling review. More soon I hope...
Author's Response: As always, I can count on NanReg for a review that makes me feel all warm inside! Thanks for the great feedback!

This is really well-written and believable. I'm quite enjoying :)
Author's Response: Thanks, deerinthepark! You can expect to see at least one chapter in the email … if you're willing to beta.
