I reread this whole story yesterday, and it's still one of my favorites.  Very sweet.  I love how it still feels like Jim & Pam, even though they're in an entirely different setting.  And I love that they found each other again; it gives me hope that even if things get unbearably sad and angsty on the show, that eventually they'll still find each other again.  Wonderful story!

Wow, that was incredibly hot. This definitely just became one of my top favorite smutfics. Loved the simultaneous daydream.

Author's Response: Thanks! :)

This was really good! Nice to read a different type of future fic, even if it did make me cry. I loved the line "So long ago. So painful at the time. Such a good thing people don’t remember pain." It makes me happy to think that after all the pain Jim's been through, that they'll have almost double-27 years together to make up for it. Beautiful fic.

*sniff*

Author's Response: Thanks a lot, Shroom! :)

Another great fic! You're really getting quite predictable, with the awesome and the sexy and the perfect. ;-)

Loved their banter, especially the French accent and them decorating Dwight's desk.

And oh, the chocolate. The chocolate was deliciously sexy.

Author's Response: Thanks, Shroom - you rock! :)

Wow, I don't know whether to be flattered or embarrassed that my obsession is so well-documented that I was included in this fic.  But if it means I'm married to Jim, even if it's a fictitious polygamous marriage, then I guess I'll go with flattered.

That was insane, and also insanely hilarious!  Hee!  Awesome, and truly an original idea for a fic.

Oh, I love this Lessons series so much.  SO MUCH!  You write their banter and the sexual tension incredibly well.

I loved SneakyJim leaving the CD for her to find.  He wanted to dance with her - that's so sweet!  And the slow dancing?  *swoon*

"Creed-Creed-Dwight-Dwight-Dwight" was hilarious!  Such a perfect touch.

And Phyllis isn't just a peach, she's a whole fruit basket.  Which... sounds bad, but I totally mean it in a good way.  I love it when Phyllis plays Jam matchmaker in fics.  Because you know she'd do it on the show if she could.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!  Can't wait for the next lesson!

That was lovely and wistful and beautiful and heartbreaking.  Oh, Jim.

What I thought was interesting is that Jim was essentially learning how to be the perfect boyfriend for Pam from her comments about Roy.  Not that he wouldn't have wanted to do those things for her anyway, but being on the outside gives him the opportunity to see just how important they would be to her.

Let's hope he eventually gets to learn everything about Pam.  Jim (and Pam) deserves some happiness.

Wow.  That was fantastic!  I really liked your writing style - simple yet elegant, and your use of the second person to capture Jim's POV was beautifully done.  Just really lovely.

I wish I could pull out a particular line as my favorite, but honestly there were so many parts I loved that I can't choose.  A truck of paper for the number of minutes he's dreamed of kissing her, neither of them being afraid anymore, a high-school crush but they both know the steps of the dance, a kiss on the neck being the new line... all beautiful.

I really wish this is what happened after the finale.  Great job!

Ooh, I really liked this!  It's nice to see little realistic scenes between unusual pairings.  And your characterizations were excellent, as per usual.  Jim's awkwardness and Angela being no-nonsense but not too cold. 

I really loved the line about Jim trying to spit without... spitting.  That's so perfect, and so true!  Being around Angela would totally make you hyper-aware of how uncouth you are.

Nice job!

Hee, fun story!  I suspected what the reveal would be, but it was still great to see it play out like that.  Nice job.  And I second the request for a follow-up where Jim sees the tattoo.  That could make for a great funny and/or sexy story!

Niiiice.[/Kevin]  I loved this!!

The lack of dialogue was beautifully done; what a lovely way to show how connected they are!  And it also gave the story that hushed, still quality that an empty pool has, which was a nice touch.

And I loved loved loved Pam waiting for Jim to notice her ring was gone.  Just imagining the look on his face when he realized it and looked up at her makes my heart melt, all hope and vulnerability and amazement.  *smooshes Jim*  *then smooshes Pam, for being so brave*

Wonderful job, as ever!

Pam and Phyllis bonding - so sweet!  I loved the "they both miss Jim" subtext of them pranking Dwight.  Wonderful story, and I could see something like this actually happening.

Author's Response: Phyllis would miss Jim!  Remember that sweet high-five they shared at the Dundies?

Shan, anything I could say about how amazing your writing is seems inadequate, because, well... amazing.

I really loved this!  I love the idea of the lake creature prank, and the WetJam action was incredibly hot.  Even the second toned-down version is wonderfully sexy (though I hope Pam wrapping her legs around Jim makes a reappearance in the second chapter, because guh).  I'm so glad that even though Pam's not completely topless anymore, that you still wrote her bold.  Loved that she took the initiative and put his hands on her.

And I liked how aware Pam was of Jim physically, even before they got in the water.  Wanting to trace his feet with her fingers, and getting distracted by his legs.  I found the "a couple knees" line especially amusing - I would probably lose my ability to count to 2 too, if I was that close to Jim.  ;-)

And the more I think about the moon being reflected in Jim's eyes, the more I fucking love those lines!!!  Beautiful imagery, beautifully written, but also all the layers that can be read into that just completely floor me.  So perfect, and definitely my favorite line in the story.

Though Phyllis giggling in her sleep and having "refrigerated dreams" is also pretty freakin' adorable!
