You're finding some really interesting uses of canon here, and I like that you're having Jim struggle with how to handle a breakup that really has nothing to do with him - this is not a Pam who is in any way mentally prepared to enter into something with him, and that puts him in a tight spot.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think that Jim and Pam had to spend some time apart after Pam's breakup with Roy because they were not ready to start something together immediately. And if they'd started, it might have been not great and even unhealthy...

I love a good star wars reference sandwiched into a chapter
‘Well, Roy Anderson had always been the personification of the word 'injustice,' but now it added even more layers, hues, and shades. He became a granite statue, looming over the heads of people like an old Soviet monument, repressing and coarse.’
THIS! This was my favourite part of this chapter, and while all of it was really good, I loved this, it shows how Jim feels about Roy so clearly
Author's Response: Thank you for your lovely review! I'm happy you liked the chapter and the lines (and I also love to put references to my favorite things into my stories!).

“He wished her to be independent.
Unfortunately, she also became independent of him” This is heart wrenching! I mean, it’s good for Pam in a lot of ways to find herself without jumping into anything with Jim. It’s still so hard to read, especially because Pam seems so miserable too. I’m glad Roy is gone, but his memory is still lurking. I hope Pam is a little happier next chapter...

Thank you, Jenna!
Here was the result of the constant fight between 'take it slow' and 'now kiss!' Some important things and some angst should happen, but my fingers are already aching to type some fluff ;)

Good chapter to get us moving. Yeah it's a hard time for them. But at least Roy's out of the picture now. Kinda figure it's going to take Pam some time to get her feet under her. Hopefully things start shifting for the better sometime soon.
Jim's ache as he's still just the friend felt very real here. He really wants to be more. You really get the fact that following his sister's advice is wearing on him.

Thank you for your review, warrior! I'm glad that this chapter worked for you because I'm not feeling good about writing the heavy stuff (but it has to be written nevertheless).

I'm glad Pam's gained her independence, now I just want to see her happy! You've written the mood so well in this chapters because it really feels like a great trouble at the same time as a triumph. Looking forward to seeing how Pam moves forward with her new life.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, DG! Since LotR ending, I have a soft spot for bittersweetness, and I'm glad that I could show a hint of that in the chapter.

Aw. A very S2 level of angst there. Also, seriously, Jim, caltrops? A Dwightlike solution, that. But a good chapter and I'm interested in where you go from here.
Author's Response:
Well, S2 level of angst is my cup of tea, because S3 level turns me into a sobbing mess, so...
And I really believe that Jim and Dwight have more in common than they would like to admit :)
Thank you!
