Aw! Cuteness overload. I love so many details in this, so I'm just going to name a few. The cats, and their names? Brilliant. Jim's reaction? Brilliant. But most of all...

"Mom.  Question.  What did Mrs. Halpert ever do to you?"

BRILLIANT. I laughed so hard when I read that. Just, awesome.



Author's Response: Kurt may "rebel" by trying to be "normal" but he is their offspring.  I had to make it sound like he grew up with the two of them and "Question" is my all time favorite Dwight-ism.  Glad you liked it. :)

Aw! Damn, that was too cute for words. Since it's left open-ended, I'm just going to assume that it ends like this.

"And then they had very hot sex on Pam's desk.

The end."

I'm apparently a pervert.



Author's Response: Thank you! And yes, that would really be the thing to make it a good day...

Summary: Past Featured Story

This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well.  I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.

This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters.  My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

Goddamn, you are prolific, aren't you? I won't object though, because all of the stuff that you crank out is amazing. I'm excited to see how you deal with this whole situation. Update soon!

Author's Response: You are prolific with your reviews, and I really appreciate it!  As for how I'll deal with it, I can give you two hints: 1) ROLE REVERSAL! It's Pam's turn to pine.  and 2) Happy JAM ending.  I'm totally incapable of writing anything else. :) Thanks again for the review!

I'M SO EXCITED FOR ROLE REVERSAL, OH MY GOD. I have been praying that they do that on the show, because I think it would be an amazing thing to watch. I love Jealous Pam, too, so here's hoping that happens as well.

If possible, I'm even more excited to see where this is going, now!



Author's Response: I'm so excited to write it, believe me!  And yes- I'm hoping the show goes in that direction as well...

Reviewer: proposals Signed 10
Date: October 09, 2006 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

I'm loving this so, so much. It's reassuring to know that all roads lead back to Pam, and I'm so glad that you're making Karen likeable. I don't get all this Karen-hate. People just need to have a little bit of faith.

Anyway, still so damn excited for the role reversal! Yay!



Author's Response: I'm excited for the role reversal, too - so much that I flew through and wrote to the end this weekend, but I've got to go fill in some blanks.  Because it was just obvious that I was impatient to get to the end.  :o)  Thanks!

Oh, Pam. I love my precious role reversal, but that doesn't stop my heart from breaking for her. I imagine it would probably be the worst thing in the world to lose someone like Jim. And especially seeing him with Karen?

This is amazing. I'm anxious for the next chapter!



Author's Response: It would have to be excrutiating to lose a guy like Jim - and yes, to have to see him with another women.  Argh.

I found myself oddly proud of Pam for that. Everything about this chapter was seriously so awesome and perfect. Pam seeing Karen in on a prank? Amazing. Jim suggesting that Pam go back to Roy, because he asked him to? Wonderfully tense, oh man. I've never thought of that, but it seriously seems like something that could happen on the show.

I can't wait for the next update!

Reviewer: proposals Signed

"He’d begun by making each of them lift a heavy box of paper, coaching them to lift with their legs and not their backs."

Cute nod to the UK Office!



Author's Response: Would you believe that I didn't do that on purpose?  I'd love to claim that I did, but.... I've only seen the UK version once, and it was all in two days over the holidays last year, so the details are fuzzy.  But I'm glad there's a link here, unintentional or not!  Thank you so much, BTW, for all your thoughtful reviews!

Oh, this is so lovely. I've never quite seen this premise before, and it's wonderful. As is your style of writing. I can see every facial expression and line of dialogue so clearly.

Amazing. It's just too bad that it had to end so soon. The things that I love the most seem to be oneshots!



Author's Response:

I thought about making it two parts, but since I had them exchange presents "secretly" in this part, there wasn't much else to do--so you can just imagine them making out. Haha!

But seriously, thank you so much for the lovely review.

Okay, so I have to tell you, when I saw the summary for this (saw that you had written something new, saw the rating and the warnings) I had high, high hopes for this. In fact, I'm pretty sure I said, "Yes!" outloud and pumped my fist.

And guess what? This met, nay, exceeded my wildest expectations. So adorable and sexy, and the line about him taking off her tights with his teeth was a pleasant surprise. So many little details that I loved, really. You're just too good.

Hee!

I think that maybe you really are a board certified Jim-ologist. This is so Jim. This is so them. You have them down so perfectly, it's so amazing to read. Beautiful. Just, perfect.

Also, your sexy scenes are both very hot and very graceful. I don't want to use the word "amazing" twice, but it bares repeating.



Author's Response:

You have no idea how much I appreciate this - Jim-ology is usually such a thankless profession....and love that you find those scenes 'graceful' - steam with grace is the goal. Couldn't think of anything I'd rather hear!

Awesome! And perfect ending. Thinking of places in the office for them to "christen" makes me giggle. The best place is Dwight's desk, I think. The ultimate prank, even if only Pam and Jim knew. Oh! Or maybe Angela's. So, so wrong.

This was wonderful, as usual for you.

When I saw that you'd posted something new, I actually bounced in my seat! Especially when I saw the 'sexual content' warning, because I'm perverted. This whole thing is so wonderful. Strangely, it reminds me of a scene in the movie Amelie, if you've ever seen it, where she's going through the haunted ride and Nino is behind her, breathing in her ear. It gave me the same loopy, slow kind of feeling. So great.

And this: "His body is warm (she thinks), firm (she feels), solid (she hopes)." Perfect, perfect, perfect. Absolutely.



Author's Response: OMG, I'm so glad you mentioned that scene in Amelie, because I meant to put that in my author's notes! That's what drove this fic. Thanks, proposals!

You have no idea how excited I am for this fight! I don't know why I love angry Jim so much, but god, do I ever. I just picture the look on his face when he says, "Do you want to be a receptionist here, always?" and I'm gone.

If this chapter is any indication, this fight will be glorious - and the making up will be equally as wonderful. Don't leave us waiting for too long!



Author's Response:

I'm gone right there with you.  I started it yesterday and right now it's just dialogue but I can see his face the whole time.

This was wonderful. I liked how you highlighted the differences between Jim and Ryan. Particularly the bit about Ryan fitting in her car, and how someone tall (Jim) wouldn't.

You captured their hopelessness and melancholy perfectly, and it's like the show minus the funny and you remember how terribly sad their lives really are.

I also really love the ambiguity of Ryan's feelings toward Kelly. On one hand, he didn't get her anything for their anniversary and he slept with Pam, but Pam had that pink coat that he reached out to touch...

Lovely.



Author's Response: Thank you so much!  I'm especially glad you liked the Ryan/Kelly parts - I always feel like Ryan is never really sure how he feels about her, yet obviously he's still with her.  It's funny, I really wanted to be able to write a fluffy Jim/Pam piece after the call, but it felt wrong.  As far as Pam knows, he's never coming back.  *Sigh*  I get way too emotionally involved.
