Oh. Okay. Okay, AG. This is how you’re going to play it, hey. You know depressing metaphors are my jam, so like I was already invested from that opening note alone.
How on earth did you use Jim’s thoughts to make me feel sorry for Karen?! That was a ride.
But, then you somehow created maybe the best version of Kelly to ever exist?! I’ve never loved her more.
And, then to top it, you gift us with bent, but not broken Pam and Jim coming back together. Keep the updates coming, please and thank you.

Yeah, kinda figured Jim would be put through the wringer. There's no getting around it. While I'm very curious to get a peek into that conversation, it can wait.

Kelly here though. Wow! Fancy New Kelly here tonight! I love that Kelly is the one to give Pam the oxygen she needed to get through the rest of the night. I got the impression that Pam was still figuratively going through the coal walk there. There's still some things to burn away. Bravo that she has the mentality and bravery to hold on just that one more night.

Clearly she learned from the pain of the past. It's not the same kind of pain as I usually ascribe to the aftermath of Casino Night. Similar yes, but not the same. However since she's already gone through that she knows now how to bear up under it. That doesn't make it any easier or that she wants to, but she's able to.

The ending was dece? That was well more than just dece. I don't think there could have been a better way for that to end. They're bruised and battered but they're not broken. And of course now they're in each others arms again which of course is always wonderful.

Nothing to be sorry for in my book, I enjoyed the drama, and it certainly padded the run time. The ending was indeed ”dece” as the kids say.

Thanks for writing, looking forward to the next one.

That ending 100% made up for the heartbreak at the start of this :)

I was going to be so upset if Jim didn't show up but gosh that was adorable at the end. Adored it.

I have a need- NEED- for the next chapter. Karen in the parking lot was the slap in the face I didn't see coming.

This was truly beautiful. You really created a mood in the back of that pickup. As painful as it will be, can't wait for more.

MY JAW DROPPED AT THE END. Holy crap. I know this isn't gonna end with Jim and Karen being together (or at least it better not) but Pam's heart breaking is killing me. I loved this.

Manic Panic? Not so much. I did get into a gelled hair phase for a bit though. Didn't quite get as far as frosted tips though. I stopped the whole gelled hair thing when I got involved with the local fire department and didn't want to have hair gel goop inside my fire helmet.

Lots of huge emotional beats throughout this chapter. From Pam's confession, to their return to best friendship, to of course sex in the truck, and finally Karen showing up at the prom there at the end. Hell of a roller coaster ride with this one, and it dosn't look like it's over yet.

Wonderful writing as always. By the way did I see a few shoutouts to the MTT prom play list that NLM typed up last week? If so, that was fun.

Wow. AG. Wow. First there’s Michael with all the sweetness and good intentions in the world. I love the Booze Cruise parallel. Then we get Pam’s Beach Games equivalent and all the vulnerability. But that ending? Karen in the parking lot? Holy god. I’m dead. Please update this as soon as is humanly possible.

"All you cool cats and kittens" relevant, I love it SO much!

Big fan of this story. The prom has me remembering mine and the similar music we had. However, my favorite part is how the coal walk happens here and Karen isn't here to witness Pam speak her mind. I loveeee it. Amazing job!

I see you with the weird and ridiculous hammy stretch! I really love that while Jim seeks her out throughout the night, Pam is the one that keeps actually taking the lead.

Also, I seriously can't wait to make a playlist based on this prom once the story is wrapped up. Truly, Madly, Deeply? Jump Around? No Diggity!! How's It Going To Be?! C'mon.

This is so good that a review can't do it justice. Amazing parts included: the phone call with Karen and Jim's responses; Pam telling Kelly that Ryan is a jerk; Angela; the coal walk over *that* spot. The description of them slow dancing was so good.

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Lots of fun with this one. Lovely images of Jim and Pam dancing like that. Also of them starting to let their guards down and have fun with each other again. However to bring in the coal walk. Unexpected to say the least. It's a very Michael-ish thing to do of course.

Good for Pam for getting up her courage. Things forged in fire are often much stronger that when they started. Looks like we're seeing that here with Pam. Can't wait for the next chapter.

What the hell, Agian. Like the prom was already enough to have me 110% invested in this story, and then you threw in the moon bounce and I thought “okay, this will definitely tug at the heart strings”, and then you went and put in a whole damn COAL WALK. I can’t. It’s too much. How can this story have everything?!
And to top it all off, now I have to go and listen to Hanson... What a wild ride... I love it so much.

I’m getting flashbacks to my own prom now, oh my god. Loved this chapter! Love the interactions at the end, and adore that Angela was apart of it too!

First, we should definitely have a funeral for The Dress. Second, this was fantastic! And third, can't wait for more.

Good for Pam to give Kelly that pep talk. Great way to show Pam's kind heart as well as give Kelly some much needed advice. Of course the real treat is of course all the wonderful JAM woven throughout everything.

Love the banter at Pam's desk. Love Jim's reaction to her dress. Love all the subtle flirting going on between them. Love it all. Can't wait for the next chapter.

This was all kinds of lovely, but the fact that Pam wanted to wear the dress and Jim had his hopes tied to the dress and then she didn’t wear the dress... Ugh. My heart. I like that they unintentionally match now, but... I hope Jim can get past it...
Don’t even get me started on the 90s nostalgia path you’ve set me on with this story...
