Dwight, and Pam's observations on Dwight, are just fantastic here. The tractor noises/getting taught to beatbox in a sealed room by someone who hates him line made me laugh out loud (I sympathise with Jim's snorting), and Dwight's multiple cals to the health department are just so Dwight (also the fact that they just let him go to voicemail, lol). And of course Dwight is proud of being a capitalist.
I also loved Izzy's line about what male lions do, and Pam clearly loving every second of it. I think Izzy may have deserved that. Also shirtless! Jim, and Pam's disappointment when he covers up again, is excellent. This fic is just so much fun to read!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's so much fun to write that I always worry it's only going to please me...

I have a very stressful day, but your story made me laugh, so thank you!
Also, I hope there will be more shirtless episodes in the future... without Dwight around ;)
Author's Response: Glad to be of service! Hope the stress gets better. And Pam will definitely be thinking about this--and possibly reenacting it--in the future (though not the chapter I just posted, don't get your expectations up for that).

I attempted to read this while brushing my teeth, which proved problematic given how much of it was genuine laugh-out-loud funny.
Pam's choice of love vs. sudden-onset stomach cancer, the description of Dwight's imitation, Pam accidentally getting Jim to boil himself, the Jim-Dwight banter about capitalism (which makes me deeply sad canon didn't get political), Dwight's failed complaints to the health department, Dwight failing to seduce Isabel with his lion comparison... this was just terrific from beginning to end. Really enjoyable entry.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it, my dear Author of the Month (congrats!). I really appreciate the feedback.

This was just fun. Half point to you this time if you want it. I did cackle loudly while at work, but my partner was not in the cab.
Really kind of fun seeing JAM go up against Dwizzy here. I don't think a universe exists where Jim and Dwight don't bait each other like this and despite a few well placed shots from time to time, Jim always ends up coming out ahead in the end.
Dwight thinking he's a proud male lion and Izzy shutting that down with that wonderful no-nonsense line was just genius.
Same with Pam's own question about how much Jim's parents make. Pam always gets a few of her own shots in and that one was a bulls-eye.
Other than that her realization that yes she can openly flirt with Jim, it's not stomach cancer (which was the line that caused my mad cackle, well done you wordsmith with that one), and she can also make him laugh are delightful. If anyone has the look of a predator in their eyes I'm sure it was Pam when she saw Jim take off his shirt.
Wonderful as always.
Author's Response: Thank you for the half point ;). Pam will definitely be remembering that shirt removal in a chapter coming soon (though not the next one which I've already posted). Thanks as always for the careful review :)
