I have to disagree with the review above because I like the shyness and trepidation you've written here. I imagine their "first date" would be awkward despite being so close in their friendship. It's a huge step to move from friends to romantic partners.

ImDissertating!! Good to see you back around here! Thanks for the comments - and I'm glad you found it realistic. While I can completely understand why some people find their reticience as taxing the bounds of reality, that's the very thing that frustrates me about them on the show - they're so afraid, so hesitant. And I also think that yeah, when they do finally get together, it won't be a seamless transition - just a natural progression, with all the bumps and beauty.
Thanks for the review!

This is completely unrelated by my roommate and I have started watching Dawson's Creek occasionally when we come home from work, you know because why not. At first both of our boyfriends really gave us a hard time about it and would not let us make it through an episode unless we bribed them with beer or wine. However we hit season three and all the complaining stopped. They both have boy crushes on Pacey, even if they won't admit it.
ANYWAY, great story :) I love everything you write and this is no exception. You capture their voices so well! Please continue this?
Author's Response:
Listen, Treble, I started watching DC in season 3 (the one when she's getting together with Pacey), and the guy I was dating at the time (who reminded me so much of Pacey - hence my interest in the show) tried to insist that he found it stupid. Then he started calling to remind me to tape it so we could watch it later.... Admittedly, that was the only season that grabbed my attention and kept it, but then, I didn't get a chance to see the others (netflix one day...).
Thanks for your review - and BTW, I'm looking forward to reading your stuff later this week when things finally slow down for me!

Another great story, hope you continue. I love the way you write Jim and Pam, you've got both the characters and their dynamic down to an art. Fantastic work.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

This is nice so far. I totally need a reprieve from the angst of the show, and have a story where things are moving along! :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yeah, I feel almost like Jekyll and Hyde - I've got this happy one going on as relief for the Jim/Pam camp (myself included), then there's Ice, which is me wallowing in the angst. Oh well. :o)

Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oh my God!!! Turn off the oven and get them out of there NOW! If that oven has been on for an hour, with no pilot light, it has been pumping gas into Pam's apartment and they should call the fire department. From the parking lot.
Sorry, but this completely threw me out of the story. Yikes.
Otherwise, I'm liking this, although I think Jim would have a tad more savoir faire. So would Pam, who has undoubtedly had dinner parties before. They both seem to be acting a little young and way too shy for two close friends pushing thirty. Other than that, this is going really well and I look forward to reading the rest.
Oh, and I love her thoughts about Jim knowing his way around a corkscrew, and how she'd like to get to know that side of him better. Smut aside, I would really like to get to know what Jim Halpert is like outside the office. Thanks for this...
Author's Response:
Heh - that made me laugh out loud! This was actually based on true events (deep voice over), though I didn't have the oven on for very long, and I'm not sure that it was because of the pilot light. (This was seven years ago, so....)
I see your point about them behaving rather immaturely (BTW - thanks for being so honest), but I don't know... I think that when it happens, it may well be an awkward, hesitant progression because of their history, the uncertainty....
And oh yes, Jim knowing his way around a corkscrew.... :o)

Okay, she's got him in her fancy new apt., they're drinking wine, all cozy....very sweet. Now bring on the shameless smut you promised, sister!
both of them remembering the moment that had been as seismic as a tectonic shift
Excellent line, that. Shake and Bake, Mannequin...so funny. Hooray for assertive Pam and receptive Jim too. You really have a way of maintaining the characters, and always keeping it so fun to read.

Jim and Pam, Pacey and Joey all in one story, who could ask for more??? Hmm, maybe some Scott Foley thrown in there? I can't wait for more!!!

Liking it a lot so far. I'm glad she is trying to dress up for Jim a bit.

Sounds yummy so far! Just make sure they don't die from the gas leaking out of her oven. ;)

Ooh I love it!! And I have to agree, the Pacey and DC mentions made me squee with happiness. :)

Be still my heart. Jim, Pam, Pacey, and lots of references to "The Creek" in one story. That is blissful.
