Interesting, thoughtful treatment of a pairing I've never imagined before. Great setup, and I love the image of Angela, ready to take you out with a stapler.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm personally a fan of unconventional pairings, and this one intrigued me (well, and I love Darryl). And you never know, Dwight could be schooling Angela in the ways of office supplies self-defense!

I never would have thought of this pairing (in any sense) but you make it feel real. The sensory details (light, warmth, sound) are deftly used, and the voices are both very much in-character. Wonderful effort!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments. I'm glad the voices seem in-character; to me, that's one of the most important elements of a good fic!

This is really good! You set the scene well, that kind of creepy, quietness of being alone in an office, and your Angela is totally funny (She has other ways to do that.) and I love her softening a little without losing any of her backbone, and aww, Darryl's kindness! Very nice.
Author's Response: Thanks kyrafic! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm glad Angela came across as softer but still, you know, Angela. And yeah, I think Darryl could go there (at least, as far as I've written it) with her... he's a good person.

You've created such a scene, a mood even, with all the little details I feel like I can hear the snow swirling outside and hear her sensible shoes rubbing on the floor. And you've tapped into something in Angela that feels so intimate. Very nice!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad the atmosphere came across the way I intended- it's hard to know if other readers will see things in their mind the same way you do. Thnks for the feedback.

Loved this, and love that you wrote about Angela in the first place--I don't really like her, but I finder her so fascinating.
Thought you did a great job of capturing Angela's voice here--generally prim, but with little hints of nice (loved that line about how her pursed lips) and of sexuality.
And loved the end--how he pushed her chair in with one hand and that made her wonder. Great details.
Author's Response: Thanks yippee (love your name, btw- could you BE any more excited about fanfic? :) ). I feel the same way about Angela- obviously she's not a likable person, but she is interesting. I'm glad you liked the end- I was worried it was too abrupt.

Yowza! No smut, and yet, really kinda hot!
Author's Response: Thanks! Darryl's a little hot, no?

Interesting... I like this! I think you really got Angela, nice. Plus, I think Darryl could be kind of intriguing and attractive up close. Hmmmm.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I think so too. Plus I think Angela could find him intriguing under the right circumstances (they seem to have some things in common, at least to me).

Coincidentally just commented on this fic at TWoP, but thought I'd leave one here too...I really, really liked this. Very original and unexpected, yet right in character for Angela...and revealing of a side of her we don't often see. Love that last line...alot.
Author's Response: Thanks Colette! I think Angela has some uncharted depth...
