Oooh that was evil of him! But so well played.

Brave Jim facing Pam's parents so soon, especially in the face of family difficulties. And the story of the compromising position... ugh, I caught my parents a time or two back when I was living with them, and really it's just not something any kid ever needs to see. Ever.
Andy with the sitar was hilarious and I really liked Pam and Karen finding peace. I appreciated that they had that closure on the show. This was a nice balance of sweetness and insanity.

Author's Response: Hey, Ivy, thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah, I agree, parent's in compromising positions is somewhat traumatizing, I'm sorry you were witness to that. Glad you like Pam and Karen, I had been looking forward to writing that scene since I started writing this over a year ago. I'm so happy to see people responding so positively to it. I never hated Karen and thought her point of view should be addressed. Thanks again for the review! :)

Wow, you definitely nailed Charles. Not that Pam didn't deserve to be called out for bringing her boyfriend to a work meeting, but great characterization there. I heard his voice.
It's interesting to read how this story is progressing because you've propelled their relationship forward very strongly. I'm very much a proponent of love as slow bloom, so it's always an experience to read stories that offer a different kind of perspective. And I'm really looking forward to what business venture Michael and Pam come up with. My one hope is that Jim stays out of it as a reporter, because that would be really unprofessional of him. But.... if he decides he wants a career change... I always thought it could have been entertaining if Jim had joined the MSPC.

Author's Response: YAY! Charles comes off right, I was not as sure about him when I wrote it. And yes, I agree, Pam was being unprofessional, though the two of them haven't been at the height of work ethic lately. You know, I really like slow love burns as well, so it is kind of weird to write something that is taking off so fast and sometimes I forget that they haven't been together for years, but only a few days, sometimes makes it challenging. Hope you like the MSPC stuff coming up, though, they really won't be jobless for very long. Thanks for the review!

Poor Jim and Pam. I love how fragile they feel right now. I do hope this won't break them apart, but also that it won't not make things difficult, for a while. I'd really like to see them endure the struggle together, even if they are struggling with each other.
And I would really love to see Jim telling his parents, because he needs them. Or them telling his parents together and Pam being afraid that they'd hate her for it and his mom being motherly toward Pam and... okay, I'm just babbling and shoving my ideas down your throat now. Sorry! Anyway, point being I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens and I hope to see more updates soon.

Holy crap, you're back!!
I haven't actually read the chapter yet. Must go reread the beginning of the story to remind myself, then will give actual content comments. But seeing this makes my lousy day automatically better.

Author's Response: Aw, thanks andtheivy! I hope today was better. :)

Mmmm... I love the image of his hand on her stomach. It makes it seem like he's looking at her as something ripe, earthy, feminine and beautiful.

Author's Response: This is pretty much the reason I'm dying to see anything close, which would still be about a mile away, on the show. Not one hand-on-belly shot this whole time, really? ;) Thanks for the review, I love hearing from you!

Wow, what an interesting concept. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

Loving this. It's great to see the combined obstacles of so much time combined with Claire and Jim's mourning. There's definitely no simple way about things here and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Author's Response: :) thank you so much! I appreciate the reviews so much :)

I loved it. Great mix of sweet and sexy. And I know just what you mean about that "world peace" look Jim gets. We need to see more of that on the show. I think each episode needs at least two moments where Jim has his "I have the most amazing girl on the planet" look.

Author's Response: I completely agree with you. Is it too much to ask that our favorite couple exchange more of those I-love-you-let's-go-home-and-do-it look? I think not ;o) Thank you so much for the review, andtheivy!

Great, great song. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Author's Response: *sigh* Isn't this such a wonderful song? Thank you, andtheivy!

Damn, that's some good glue they got.
I would love to see Dwight's face to see his desk on the ceiling. Love.

Keep going...go go go! Don't let the blizzard stop you.

Author's Response: Don't worry, I'll finish this one. I'm not a fast writer, but I have some time on my hands over the next week or two, so I hope to finish it in a timely manner. Thanks, andtheivy.

Okay, yeah, continue here. Go go go!

Author's Response: Ha! Seriously, this is the longest fic I've written in years. I think I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Thank you for liking it enough to want more, though! I really appreciate that!
