I really like this story and this is my favorite chapter so far. The parallel dreaming was kind of heart wrenching, ya know? Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks rabid! These were the hard times, for sure. Rewatching season three is always a little heartwrenching.

ugh, my grief bone.
whenever i'm feeling self-loathing i watch the phone conversation on a loop...this made is so much sadder.
but upside, I listened to that song while I read, and wow...so perfect.
this story is really great
Author's Response: These two are so frustrating...just want to shake the TV and yell "say something!" I'm glad you liked the song. It's one of my favorites and I wrote this chapter listening to it one day a few weeks ago. Glad you like the story :) Thanks for the review!

Despair. That's it exactly. The knowlege that two people, so perfect for each other, are both hurting so much because of so many little things- that's cause for despaire. Thank goodness it doesn't last. Beautiful, beautiful work.
Author's Response: Yeah, even knowing how it ends up, this is hard to write! Thanks for the reviews, nqllisi! Hope you like the rest of it.

Woww. That hurt my heart a little =( But it was brilliant.
Author's Response: These two are so good at wounding us. Thanks flonkerton, 'brilliant' is such a nice thing to say! :) Happier times are coming...in a little bit.

Absolutely beautiful :) I simply CAN'T wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you Lux. Four more to go, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Ouch. You've painted a really vivid picture of that void that must have been after Casino Night. I can totally see Pam taking home the mustard jar.
Author's Response: Thanks lisahoo. This was surprisingly hard to write. These two and the silence and miscommunication....argh. But at least we know things will get better. Thanks for reading! :)

I was so excited to see a new part of this and you did not disappoint!
That was heartbreaking, Callisto. And very lovely. It was nice getting both of their viewpoints in this part. I see that we're now deep into the S3 angst. You've still got the tone just right.
I'm not generally a big fan of songfic, but you used the lyrics just right. I can really see how they fit with the story. I loved that they're both listening to the same song, and that they both dreamed of the other. It shows that they're still connected, though they're miles apart. Beautiful.
Author's Response: Thanks Blanca! I'm happy you think I've got the tone right. I'll be glad to move on to happier times, I'll admit. But first they both have to act like idiots who won't communicate for a while longer. And I'm glad the song didn't turn you off. I'm hoping it doesn't come off as overly melodramatic. Thanks so much for reading and for the review!

Winner of the squeeze-my-heart-til-it-hurts award: "But that night I dreamed of her, a vivid memory-dream from last year’s company picnic at Nay Aug park, and when I woke up I held my head in my hands and wept in despair...I’m still here, and nothing has changed."
I <3 you and this story, callisto : )
Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it, NanReg. :) I haven't written much angsty stuff. It's perversely fun, but one more chapter should work it out of me. Then on to happier days!

I liked it last night and this is even better! Jim's part at the end really added a lot to the piece.
Author's Response: Thanks VB! Your comments were great! When are we gonna see more CC/Gifts?

Wow. This is excellent. I am really enjoying this. Your Jim and Pam ring so true. Boy, these two make me mad. Here I am, even knowing that they eventually will get together and they still manage to anger me when I read the "back in the day" tales. That must mean that this is an exceptionally well-written story. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you kgreene! I'm glad you think it rings true. What a lack of communication does to a relationship... and the show has never really satisfied me on why the long, long silence, so it's hard to get in their heads. So, thank you! Happier times are coming...but first...

That was a great chapter. Sometimes I forget how bad it got at one point. I like how this story evolves. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks Pisa. I keep wondering if it's a tad melodramatic. This was really hard to write because it's such a turning point, and I'm finding it's really hard to condense their relationship into seven chapters. But I've got it all mapped out now. Glad you're liking it!
