Summary:

Post ep The Job.  Spoilers for The Job and probably most of season 3. 

"So where do you see yourself in 10 years?"  Who knew one question could provoke a reaction?  Jim sure didn't.  Starts with the David/Jim conversation and moves on from there.

what a sweet ending! I can just imagine Michael tearing up at the end, he's a big softie really and has been advising Jim all along. It really is an endearing quality in Michael. I like that you included the fights too, it made the story seem more grounded than most Jam fluff, which made the ending all the more rewarding!

Climbing As We Fall by girl7 Rated: M [Reviews - 386] 115
Summary: Past Featured Story

A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event.  Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).

This is one of the best fic's I've read in a while! I love the way you write inside Pam's head....it's so realistic for anyone who's been in this situation. I can't wait to read more!!! Awesome writing!!

Author's Response:

Oh my god - really?  Wow -- thanks so much!  (Honestly - nine times out of ten, when I read someone else's work on here, I come away just in awe -- so, so, so many talented people here....)

I'm glad you thought the Pam p.o.v. was accurate -- I'm a visual writer (I guess is how you'd say it); I have to see the scenes I write before I can construct them.  (This sounds so totally pretentious, but stay with me -- there's a very anticlimactic point, LOL.)

But with Pam (and Jim, actually), I try to draw on whatever personal experience I may have with the scenario in the hopes of making it more realistic.

All this to say: Your review was really great, and I so appreciate it!  I'll update again tomorrow --

Date: July 25, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: We Won't Touch; We'll Just Wait For Signs

O.K so this is such a great story! I feel like my last review wasn't long enough to convey my love for this!! First of all going back to the previous chapter, I love how you have written Meredith. In a lot of fanfic she is written as a kind of pathetic character, but you write her as I see her...as a rebel!! I love Meredith, she's a rock star! 

Next...I was thinking about why this story in particular seems to grab my attention more than other Jam stories. I think the fact that this is set a long time before the cameras makes it fresh. "Past" Jim and Pam seem to have a lot less baggage than "current" Jim and Pam. Obviously they still have TONS of baggage, even at this early point, but it's refreshing to have them free from the weight of "Casino Night" and Karen.

Please update soon... You are a great writer, way to build up the tension!! 



Author's Response:

Wow, thanks!  I'm glad you like my Meredith - I think it's easy to write her as a one-note character because the show tends to present her that way, but I was interested in rounding her out just a little.  I'm not straying too far from that one note, I fear (heh), but I like writing a dynamic between her and Pam. 

It's also great to hear you say that you were drawn to the story because it's pre-cameras -- that's one of the reservations I had when I started writing it: Would anybody care if it's set a few years in the past?  So it's good to hear that that's a point of interest for you!

I just posted an update, will likely post another later today or tomorrow.  I'm writing like a fiend over here - the phone rang just now and nearly gave me a heart attack, LOL.

Thanks so much for another thoughtful review!

I've been waiting patiently for this update! I can see why it took a bit longer than the other chapters. It truly is such beautiful writing. Your Pam and Jim are so realistic and true to the show, which makes this even more heart-wrenching because I can picture everything as you write it. WONDERFUL!! :) (Poor Jim....)

Author's Response:

I cannot tell you how good it makes me feel to hear you say you've been waiting for an update -- seriously!  Because I've been working on this -- finished the chapter itself several days ago, but have been picking at it, editing it, sending it to my beta, etc.  Was sooo nervous to post it, and it's beyond terrific to get such great feedback.  I'm so glad you're enjoying it -- really!

Thanks for the review!

Poor Pam, I know just how she feels.. making all of her decisions based on fear. I hope that Jim makes her brave enough to take a risk and face her fear. I absolutley loved this chapter, the part with Pam silently crying while Jim lay next to her just ruined me.
Can't wait for a resolution to this no matter what direction you take it..I'm sure it will be wonderful. (Although your mention of future smut has got me hoping...)

Author's Response:

Yeah, it's easy to let fear motivate your actions (or inaction, as the case may be).  I'm glad you like the image of her crying in bed next to him; it was a nice image to write, in an odd way. 

Thanks so much for your kind words (and yeah, smut's on its way...LOL) --

Author's Response: See, it's sort of surreal to read that someone's actually excited to see this continue -- honestly!  I really appreciate your support -- hope you like the ensuing chapters... :o)

Oh thank god she told Jim that Roy slept with someone else. I was getting worried that Pam was going to spend the night with Jim and not tell him. And then he'd find out after and think he was just a payback thing or a rebound.....I know, I know, they aren't real!!! Can't wait to hear Jim's reaction.

Author's Response:

Wait a minute...they aren't real?  Um, are you on medication, or just...you know, mean?  LOL.

Yeah, that was the plan -- Roy would cheat, and she'd tell poor Jim.  I blame John Krasinski for playing tortured so well....

Thanks for reviewing!

Date: August 26, 2007 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Here It Comes Now, Sure As Silence Follows Rain

oh noooo...it's still going to end up with Pam going back to Roy?????
God Jim is going to need serious counseling and rehabilitation to trust women again!!
I hope Pam comes to her senses and listens to her inner voice, the reason that she wasn't devastated when Roy cheated is because she had checked out of that realtionship a long time ago. She loves Jim!!
Although I think that the reason so many people are loving this story is because you write the angst so well, we think we want the happy fluff....but the turmoil is what keeps us so invested in your story, so just discount the first half of my review.......
:)

Author's Response:

Well it WAS before I figured out that this is AU -- which means I can take it any which way I want, LOL.

Seriously, though, you're right on in your assessment of Pam (at least, of MY Pam) -- that she's let go, isn't really emotionally invested in Roy anymore.  That's really important to this, I think. 

...Still, though, I will make it all right, I promise.  (NOTE: I did not promise an absence of angst on the way to the happy ending, LOL.)

THanks so much for your review!

wow....I can't believe I haven't commented on this story yet, but this chapter just blew me away...and forced me to comment.
This was beautiful. For some reason this is way hotter than the full on smut...although that might be coming up! Jim stroking Pam's palm and her forgetting what she was saying was just one of the most sensual things I've read...and then stroking her wrist! I feel all 18th century and repressed now! ha ha! I can't believe that just THAT got me all flustered.

Author's Response: THANK you!! Yeah I always like the pre-smut stuff better than the actual smut, clearly.  I'm always going on in stories with these parts.  lol thanks for reviewing.

Under Pressure is a wonderful song...bowie and mercury? hell yeah....I never thought of it applying to Jim and Pam but the lyrics are perfect...especially at then end when they sing "why can't we give ourselves one more chance, why can't we give love one more chance?"
Yep..I re-listened as I read your fic...
I loved this, more than Michael loves his Ho's!!!!

Author's Response:

I know, I was walking to work one morning, and I heard the lyrics "Sat on a fence but it don't work. Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn. Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? This is our last dance,
this is ourselves, under pressure." This fic went "Ding!"

 

Thank you, big haircut!!!

awww. This is so lovely thirtypercent! I love these little stories where just one moment is described in such detail, that you can't help but picture it exactly in your head. It's fluff for sure, but the great writing and wonderful emotion make it so much more. I wish I was a writer, I'm sure I too would become addicted to writing these! I'm just addicted to reading them. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Thank you!  The funny thing is, I'm in no way a writer in real life.  I guess The Office just brings it out in me :)
