Ooh, I think I remember reading this from before. I'd forgotten about it, but I'm glad you decided to continue. This is such a cool concept - I love noir, and I love how you're still making things fit with the Office'verse.

So glad you're continuing this. You get into his head and heart so well and it's good to see him actually talking about this stuff to someone, even if it's not clear that he's making progress working through it yet. Looking forward to the finale (and possibly beyond!)

The five minutes immediately following Casino Night. And then beyond. Author is spoiler-free.

I'm loving this serious! It has it all - fun and sweet. And it's such a cool and believable way of dealing with how the documentary airing would affect their lives, I mean, the actors in RL are idolized like this and have to withold spoilers, but Jim and Pam having to deal with that kind of attention, and pretending things haven't changed since a year ago? Tension! Brilliance! It works amazingly well.

That was just unbelievably beautiful. Could he be a more perfect husband? Not possible. *sigh*

Author's Response:

That's so nice of you to say. And no, I've probably depicted him as way too perfect to be possible (though of all the fictional characters I can think of, he has the greatest potential.)

Both of these sets of Five Things were wonderful. Here's hoping any of your suggestions for Roy's ring were true! And the different proposals are so sweet. I love - <i>love</i> number 5.

And I hope this isn't a review faux-pas, to do two in one place, but I followed the link to "Beginnings" and adored that too. It was lovely.


Author's Response:

Thanks Semby.  #5 does hold some kind of appeal no?

And no faux-pas at all.  Any place I can find out someone enjoyed what I wrote is A-OK with me. :)

Loved this, and the little musical references are a nice touch. I love the last part, jumping from them greeting each other to Jim asking his mother if someone else can come - you don't even have to say what happened in between, it just follows logically :)

Author's Response: Hahaha, yes, I think so. I think I'd find it hard to write Pam and Jim's epic moment - I'm pretty sure the writers of The Office are going to do it to perfection - so I left it all between the lines. Thanks for the kind words!

Oh, wow, love what you did with that little hint of a story that we saw in the deleted scene. Him falling a third in love with her, half in love with her, then completely in love with her was a lovely progression.

And I really, really love this line:
"It’s like finding out a song you really love is actually a cover and you suddenly feel guilty for ever liking it so much, because it really belongs to someone else and you haven’t even heard the original before, but you’re convinced this version is so much better."

So pretty and heartbreaking!

Summary:

This is a little story that takes place a few weeks after 'Casino Night'. It mostly concerns Pam, and contains alot of inner dialogue. Michael has engineered an 'Inspiration Poster' using a photo of Pam, and now she has to deal with fallout. It does bring her to a realization though...

Oh, great stuff! The photo at the end was just perfect - not offering too much but a way of saying "still thinking of you." And I am so glad to hear that someone else thinks his backing down that night was fine! I agree completely. He already put himself out there in a way that was so scary and uncertain, wearing his heart on his sleeve, laying it all out on the line. The rest was up to her, and she made her decision.
