Aw, I've never had a chapter dedicated to me before - thanks!
Cute bit with their "fans" and the "beautiful" remark. I love that Pam gets it when something's bothering Jim. I can't wait to see him figure out why that is.
Author's Response: You're welcome, JITC! Our obtuse Jim will get it eventually!

Ha! I love that Jim didn't think about the "one room" when Nelani mentioned it. I mean, I know he wouldn't e thinking about that, but it was still funny to watch him realize it. Now he just needs to sweep that girl in his arms and kiss the hell out of her ;)
Author's Response:
I'm planning to drag this baby out for some more chapters ... I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while for the sweeping, young lady! Hopefully, the chapters will be good enough that you think it was worth the wait!
Thanks for taking the time to review!

Oh, I love the image! Can't wait to see what happens when they wake up :)
Author's Response: Hi, JITC! Thanks very much. ...You do realize there will be more medical stuff when they're back in the hospital, right? You'll cut me some slack? :-)

Re-reviewing like a dork, but I'm reading this all the way through again. Just wanted to say "Hi!" I had forgotten it was set in DC (my hometown), which is always super fun to read about ;)
Author's Response:
I didn't know your city was DC? Are you from there or do you live there now? I live about an hour outside.
Glad to have you back!! I'll be interested to hear what you think of all the new chapters that were posted since you left us. (Not so much medical stuff, you'll be happy to see... I remember you never liked that aspect of the story so much.)

Wow, glad to see an update of this story! Loved this chapter :) So glad Jim's life is looking up and the medical stuff was hilarious! Can't wait to read the rest!
Author's Response: Hey, JITC! Thanks for the feedback. I have to mark my calendar! I think this is the first time you liked any of the medical stuff! :-)

Love having a chapter of this story to greet me now that MTT is back. And it's the Karen chapter! Great work! Can't wait for the Jim/Pam confrontation now that everything is out there - or almost everything :)
Author's Response:
Yes, a "discussion" will ensue sometime in the foreseeable future...
Thanks a lot for leaving a note.

Fabulous! Love them together at the emergency room ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! Not the most conventionally romantic setting, but with these two, anything is romantic (fabric softener, yogurt lids, beet farms...)

Great story and fab parallel to Gatsby. I could totally see how it would be hard for Pam to be with Jim, knowing how long he's wanted her.
Author's Response: I can't imagine how you would react to someone being that in love with you for years, it would be really surreal. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, that was really sweet! I can really see this happening on the show :)
Author's Response: Thank you. I struggled a bit with a reason why Jan and Michael would throw the dinner party in the aftermath of The Deposition, but I thought my scenario had some plausibility. Glad to learn that you, and maybe some others think it could be possile, too. I'm obviously anxious to see the actaul episode play out when the show returns. Thanks again for your kind words.

Oh, wow, this is setting up beautifully! I simply love the tension you've built and how heartbreakingly painful it is. I cannot wait to see the car ride home. Excellent work!
Author's Response:
Yay, I'm glad you think so! I was afraid the bit with Roy asking Jim to take her home would come off as too contrived. I just couldn't resist the urge to throw them together -- alone -- in a situation wherein they can't escape it all that easily. I'll be posting an update in a few hours, so....
Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oh this is SO good! Wow, I did not expect Pam to jump him (even with the promised of steam), but it was fabulous! I TOTALLY understand why she's acting the way she is, even though it's infuriating. And poor, poor Jim! Vacillating between wanted to throttle her and wanting to jump her has got to be killing him.
CANNOT wait for more!
Author's Response:
Gah, it is such an incredible relief to read that you found her reaction believable -- I swear, when I sent this chapter to my beta, one of the first concerns I expressed to her was whether or not Pam's reaction was believable, and even if it was, would it be too alienating for the readers (meaning would readers really just not like her after that). So it's such a relief to have validation on that.
Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oh, I love this ending to "Drug Testing" even more than the original - I didn't think that was possible!
I really like what you are doing with this piece. I re-read the whole thing at work on Friday (minus this latest chapter) and I just loved how it flowed and how the brothers really work with Jim. Just great job overall!
Author's Response:
Glad you liked it, Jenn; I hadn't intended on working in any of the later episodes, but I've found myself sort of falling into that.

Oh, that was just lovely! I love that Pam isn't quite sure of herself just quite yet, but she's really really close to getting there. Their goodbye was just the sweetest thing ever!

I love them just making out in the hallway to the bathrooms and just having to get out of there! Great work!

I am SO digging this story! I totally get why Jim is feeling the way he is and I love him trying to work through it and not wanting to screw things up with Pam. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Jim will do alot of soul searching in this. And his behavior might not be perfect, because he's not a perfect person, but he'll always be the guy for Pam in my story.
