I really liked this. You know, I can totally imagine Jim like this, being an adorable and talkative drunk, saying a lot more than he would have if he were sober. And yet, I find myself feeling a little frustrated by Pam and her inability to realize those aren't the kind of things friends say to one another, even if that's a perfect representation of canon!Pam. I mean, I know Jim is drunk and he didn't come out and say he liked her as more than friends, and I do understand Pam's position, but still.

Thank you for writing this story and sharing it with us!

Great story! The combination of Jim being drunk and of him not really understanding what his feelings for Pam really are makes him so much more forthcoming than he would have been otherwise. This feels really real to me, like it really could have happened. (If Jim and Pam were really real...sigh.) Thanks for writing!

 Nice! I love how this conveys all the things that Jim gives to Pam that aren't a physical object. Things like self-esteem and courage and hope. That's why this is my favourite line:

 

Instead, she shifted the angle of an armchair so it faced her Monet, snuggled up comfortably against a cushion, and eventually fell asleep with images of water lilies floating behind her eyelids.

Great job!

That was so great.  I like when they have conversations when Jim confronts Pam with some truth, no matter how small. :)

I really enjoyed this little glimpse into Jim and Pam's friendship before the cameras showed up. And Drunk!Jim is fun, because he's an agreeable and honest drunk. Lucky Pam!

Author's Response: The truths that come out of drunk people can be very, VERY fun to play with! Thanks, glad you liked :)

I adored this.  So real and sweet and sad and just lovely.

I love where you've chosen to set this as well.  Makes me smile to think this conversation happened way back when.



Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really liked this. I don't think I've read drunk Jim before, a lot of drunk Pam, but never drunk Jim. It was nice to see how they interacted when they were still getting to know each other and I always like that in Office  fan fic. Anyways, I loved this!

Author's Response: Thank you! Drunk!Jim was a fun one to play with. I love drunk!Pam, but this was begging to be done.

Man, this made me all kinds of warm inside. Yay, HonestJim.  Nice characterizations :)

Author's Response: Warm feelings are good. :) Thank you!

Awesome. You didn't force the moment to be anything more than it had to be. It was just sweet and believable and perfect. Somehow, I think fics like these are going to change (for good or bad) after tonights premiere, but... I'm so glad to get some of these in before that happens!

Great job!



Author's Response: So glad you liked it! And yes, I posted this when I did even though I was still unsure of it because I was worried that after the premiere something would have changed to make this feel not quite right anymore. We'll see!

Very sweet.  Beauty is subjective, and the way Jim sees her as beautiful may just have something to do with the fact that he's in love with her. :-)



Author's Response: Thanks! And, yes, I think you're onto something there. ;)

This was a terrific, believable moment between Pam and Jim.  Very sweet.

This was a really nice little one-shot.  It seems very realistic somewhere along the way in the Jim/Pam universe; I know I had moments like this in my past.  It felt very real.  The tension in the car when they were in Jim's driveway was very palpable.  

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
