Gah I love Jim and Pam's individual spirals, and the way they're both doubting and secretly hopeful - they really are perfect for each other/on exactly the same wave length without realising it. This line is also very Jim: 'If she doesn’t lead, he’ll just…stay. In stasis. There are worse places to be than across a counter from her—even if she can’t look at him if he sits down at the same table.' And Michael's failure at organising stock cracked me up, hee, that is exactly the sort of thing I could see him confusing.
Author's Response: Thank you! I try to keep them on the same wavelength while having their unique points of view, so I'm really glad that's coming across!

Oh, Jim... I both like to see him so hopelessly in love and hate to see him so insecure. But, even then, I like that he remains rational (or, at least, I took his reflections for rational thinking)... and Pam's joke wasn't completely unfunny.
And I do hope that they'll have some tea in the end ;)
Thank you for writing and sharing!
Author's Response: He's really trying to think about it reasonably--and yes, there will definitely be tea at some point in this fic.

Ooooof. Poor Jim. So much angst, and it's all so unnecessary. Come on, y'all. Speak up, and you can be charmingly neurotic together!
Author's Response: The good is coming, I promise!

Oh Jim look at you go. You romantic, besotten, silly, imaginative person you. Kind of fun to get into his mini-freak out here. It makes sense. Pam was stumbling over herself a bit. Dwight is against all odds attracting someone who seems reletivly normal. Then he looks up and Pam's gone. Yeah, I get why he'd freak out a bit. But then the rational Jim who knows and sees the little things about Pam comes through. How her laptop is still there. I could feel his relief when she emerges from the bathroom and makes a beeline for him. Nice job.
Author's Response: Thanks as ever for the careful reading and thoughtful review, warrior. You make it fun to write for this site.

Yay Jim POV! I love your version of dorky anxious Jim. Everyone writes Jim as a cool guy all the time but in the show there were snippets of him being very anxious and insecure and hints that the coolness was kind of a cover at work and I love that you are exploring that part of him!
Author's Response: Thank you! Gotta admit, a lot of my Jim's neuroses come from my neuroses, so it's pretty natural to make him not that cool of a guy ;)
