This is absolutely beautiful, as is frankly everything you write. I love that it's honest about the difficulties of a separation and yet remains optimistic because it's them and 3 months in New York isn't going to kill them completely.

Yes yes yes yes yes keep going. This is even better than the first chapter, just so brilliant in character that I could practically hear their conversation in my head. Wonderful :)

Author's Response: Oooh, that\'s just what I was hoping for! I hope I don\'t disappoint with next chapters.

This is lovely, I like how you've managed to really get a sense of Jim's impatience for her return through the story. I got all jumpy and excited just reading this :)

Author's Response: Hee, thank you shootingstars! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to review!

This is brilliant, which is exactly what I've come to expect from you. I love the little glimpses into the past and obviously the proposal is just wonderful. And I love love love this moment at the end:
There's something mischievous in his eyes as he informs her, "And just for the record, you totally didn't let me get it all out; I think you just agreed to do me
That is just SO Jim, it's unbelievable.

Author's Response:

So glad you liked that!  I mentioned earlier that writing the proposal just squicked me out (long story, but essentially, I live in the south, where a frightening number of people tend to believe that your life is simply not complete until a guy gives you a ring...and thereby a life.  blech).  I also found that it was really difficult to write the proposal without it dissolving into a big old melodramatic puddle of sappiness.  :o)

Anyway, I found it much easier to write the scene with some humor in there.  :o)

Thanks so much for reviewing!

This is just unbelievable. I have no words, ok that's not true, I have lots of words (some would say too many), but they're all good. Seriously, I was intrigued by what you would do with the Boggle Timer and this exceeded anything I could have imagined. I'm really enjoying this :)

Author's Response: Thank you, shootingstars. I\'m pleased that you\'re enjoying it. The Boggle timer was the one I was the least sure about going in, but it seems to have turned out okay. :)

I love this, you've managed to impart a sense of Pam's panic and worry in your writing and the whole thing trips along nicely until the final section when it settles into a happy fear because Pam settles too since it's not a 'scare' anymore. I don't necessarily buy the Chris section personally but the writing is too good for me to care :)

Wow. I really don't know what to say Little Comment. This is breathtaking beautiful. I would quote but I literally couldn't pick anything specific because every single line of this hits home so perfectly, I even had tears in my eyes by the end.

Seriously, this is without a doubt the best oneshot I have ever read on MTT. I know you said you don't normally do fluff, and to be honest I don't normally read pure fluff but this is something else. This is like the essence of why Jim/Pam is so wonderful.

A brilliant read :)

Author's Response: Thank you so very much, Shooting Stars...this is without a doubt the best review I\'ve ever received on MTT! :) I hope it doesn\'t sound arrogant, but this gets me misty too...it\'s very personal in some respects, but I think it also does justice to the Jim/Pam dynamic. \r\n\r\nI can\'t tell you how much this made me smile...thanks again!!

This is really lovely, I can completely see Pam and Roy's breakup being like this. It's sort of sad but sort of beautiful too, this fic. I look forward to reading more of your stuff :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'd honestly never given much thought to the Pam/Roy breakup until I heard this song and it all just sort of came to me. Glad to hear you thought it was realistic. Thanks again!
