I've sat through too many Disney Channel movies to admit to. I also have too many Disney songs on my computer.
I was with my friend as she was doing last minute prep on her wedding, and she made me want to elope.
I am intrigued by this underwater penny stacking. I've got the pennies. You can supply Jim in a swimsuit. We'll test this stacking knowledge of his.
Author's Response: Yeah, wedding plan can be fun, but a lot of times...yikes. And as for Jim and the stacking demonstration, can you send him over here when you're done?

aaaah...these just get better and better. That last line DID indeed tear me apart inside. lol. Poor Jim...but it's nice knowing where they are NOW. Needy jailer be gone! :-)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. Be gone, indeed! :)

these continue to be beyond amazing. i implore you to keep going.
the fight chapter was so real, i officially no longer give you permission to doubt yourself as a writer. ever again. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, JamFan4! I'm having a great time with this because there are just so many little nooks and crannies to explore in the Pim dynamic. And thank you so much for the kind words re: doubting myself - I always will, but I'm glad what I produce makes people so happy. :)

DUDE! How did I not see this update?! And what a doozy. This is absolute perfection. You've written Jim really well here, all of his love for her even if it comes with great pain. Well done friend! (I think we can leave off the "new" at this point, eh?)
Author's Response: I don't know! I think I posted it on a Saturday night or something lame, but I get very eager to let my little one-shots free on MTT. :) Thanks so much, as always, and yes - I think we've established ourselves safely as "just" friends. (And may I say I couldn't be happier about that? :) )

love this.
love this.
love this.
can you get any cooler? (:
Author's Response: Thanks! And yes, as I'm a big dork, I could get a lot cooler, but it probably won't happen. ;)

Fantastic chapter!! I loved that even though it's told in third person, it has so much of Jim's voice in it. And the paragraph about the role he's pigeonholed himself into was so relateable and easily understandable; I loved it, and how he just felt so hopeless that he didn't bother to try and dig himself out. Last chapter was a tough act to follow, but this followed it beautifully. Wonderful job!
Author's Response: Well thank you, pal! I just wanted a little peek into s2 distraught!Jim, so I'm really glad it worked for you. The last chapter was something the likes of which I'm still very humbled by, as you well know, but I'm happy that this was a good follow-up. :)

Little Comment! I've been thinking about you and here you are with another fantastic, heartbreaking, unbelievably good update. Wow--how is it that this angst hurts so good?! Funny thing--I was just about to call you out on quoting Top Gun, and then you did it yourself :) Excellent job, my friend.
Author's Response: Thanks as always, Nan! Sorry I keep dishing out the angst, but I guess I had residual sadness from writing their fight. ;) I'm so happy you're still enjoying this and sticking with me!

Seems like a lot of people are going back to S2 lately, and I'm really enjoying all these little trips back in time. This was no exception. Poor Jim. I don't know why I enjoy seeing him so tortured, but it's like catnip, or crack. I just want to reach out and pat his hand and tell him it's all going to work out eventually. Loved the Stockhom syndrome reference and the line "she was such a needy jailer." That's our Pam all right.
Sounds like you had a lot of inspirations for this, and they came together nicely. Great work, as always.
Author's Response: Thank you, Blanca! As a latecomer to TO I never got to explore s2 Jim while it was happening, so to go back to it every now and again is nice. Thanks for all your kind words!

I was so excited when I stopped by tonight and saw you'd added another chapter, and this one did not disappoint. Jim's reaction to his "hopeless" situation is spot on perfect. The last lines were so painful (in a good writing sort of way).
And just because:
“Is it supposed to be this hard?”
TWSS.
More, more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. And yeah, I TWSS'ed it my mind too...what can you do? :)

This is just another exceptionally good chapter. I absolutely loved your turns of phrase in this one: needy jailor, Stockholm syndrome at its purest... And the closing lines are wonderful.
Author's Response: Thank you so very much! That's really nice of you to say and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :)
