One part for each season. Pam's p.o.v. Nothing could be more innocent than a freckle, right?"Because he’s Jim, he rescues her."
You've got such a keen way of slipping in these little comments that just make the heart clench and sigh. Loving this story so far, in all its simultaneous simplicity and meaningfulness.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Mel Like Mellow - I love when readers notice those little things.
10 Oh god, I love this story so much! Everyone's so great, and the last chapter had be rolling. Dwight's "BY GRIFFINDOR!" sounded in my head, and now I'm half tempted to run around saying it like a loser. :P
The slow burn of chemistry between Jim and Pam is lovely, really. Him gradually becoming enamoured with her, by little things like her attention or her compliments is just really sweet.
I really wish that you'd update soon. This is just a great story, and I'd hate to see it just sit here unfinished!!
9 This was FUCKING AMAZING, pardon the caps and expletive. I had reservations when I first opened it, but oh my gosh, what a brilliant piece of work! Everyone was essentially perfectly in character and I have to say Ryan's part was by far the funniest, greatest thing ever -- especially his closer.
Great work. Love it.
These are meaningless, short and simple ways for me to pass the time. Most of these have been sitting on the hard drive I've been cleaning out for the past couple of weeks (slowly but surely). Just pregnant Pam and baby fluff. They were all labeled "babytimes01.txt" on my computer, hence the name. Just vignettes, not necessarily chapters in order, and the rating is caution for later. Spoilers for the Delivery in the last chapter.Man, how you manage to capture them SO perfectly and beautifull is just BEYOND ME. You must me stealing notes from the writing staff over at NBC!
Seriously, though, your writing and your eloquency are just ... gorgeous. Some of these chapters have really brought a tear to my eye, like this latest installment. I never, ever want this fic to end, though I know it probably will.
....Just not anytime soon. 'Kay? Kay. >.>
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the kind review. =) I plan on ending it before the baby is born, but I'm sure by that point we'll have enough sweet moments off the show to keep us going.
Season two angst? Yes, please! A retake on "Boys and Girls" from season two, had no cameras been present. So, spoilers for that, obviously.God, you're fantastic and nailing these characters' voices! You just catch the reader and hook them right in within the first five lines. At least, that's how it's working for me.
Please hurry and update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Second chapter will be posted shortly, just finishing it up. =)
God damn you are good. I don't know how many ways I can say that or express it, but seriously.
You just made a kiss seem like the hottest sex around. Beautifully, epically written.
And Jim. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim. How is it that you've buried yourself in his brain SO keenly?! I don't get how you can be so ON with his voice. It's like I can pretty much see John Krasinski RIGHT THERE.
And what's worse is that the elegance with which you write is astounding and really moves me. He breaks, I feel breaking too.
Sigh. As usually, please please hurry with the next posts. :D
Author's Response: Ahh, thank you! I'm glad the angst is coming through. Hurts so good, 'ey? ;)
Snow, wine, Bolsheviks, but no marshmallows. A cold night in Scranton. Set sometime during the winter of S2With 'Bolsheviks' in the synopsis, who could avoid this? And I'm glad I didn't, because so far, so good! Loving the set-up, good characterization.
Favorite part was Jim recognizing her "other world" clothes, the ones he doesn't get to usually see. Love that kinda stuff.
Please, please continue soon!
Author's Response: Who knew Bolsheviks were such a draw? Glad you're enjoying...and pssst, I love stuff like the clothes bit too. What can I say, I'm a sucker for small details. Much thanks, Mel Like Mellow!
9 I kind of choked on air and tears while reading this. Really, really beautiful insight into what Michael may feel when this time comes. Very lovely written ... which feels so weird to think about something told from Michael's perspective!
With the whole "folding hands" thing at the end ... yeah, I was done for.
As usual, great, wonderful, amazing job.
Loving it so far! I like the slow burn of these chapters, it's kind of building the anticipation for whatever you may have planned. And I love your characterization of Pam - spot on, lovely.
Author's Response: Thank you, Mel. Glad it's building some kind of anticipation -- the build is always the part I'm impatient about when I'm writing, lol
Excited for the next chapter! Man, you write Pam so ... prettily, I don't know if that makes sense or not. But she seems so PRETTY in your fanfics, like the real Pam on TV and it's just ... I feel like she's delicate and kind of like a little snow angel.
It brings her down a notch, considering that at night when she’s out of the shower and her legs tangle in the sheets and they’re smooth, no one’s there but her. And the only place Jim has ever had his hands on her is her back, her shoulder, and a few times hooked into her hand.
I love that this inadvertantly implies that she's had fantasies of Jim being in her bed and touching her in other places. You don't say it outright, but we know what that means. ;)
UGH GOD I have waited for this for SO LONG and the anticipation just keeps building and building!! And you're so good at keeping people on the edge of their seats, with your pretty writing and your will-it-go-well-won't-it-go-well Pam thoughts and ...
And you just HAVE to post soon. Please oh please oh please please please! Don't make a grown girl beg. It's just shameful.
There is no hotter, sadder, or more beautiful angst than Jim's angst in S2 and S3. Ugh. Thanks for this piece...any hope of a companion piece with the rest of Pam's night?
Author's Response: Yeah, Jim Halpert's situation pretty much killed me dead during that time. But it makes it so much more awesome that he and Pam and now parents. Did you ever think you'd see the day? Thanks so much Mel Like Mellow. I don't have a companion piece planned at all. I was supposed to be finishing a WIP when the Ghost of PoorSadJimpert Past made a visit.
Very pretty. Full of meaning in such a small amount of writing - sometimes that's really all you need to get your message across.
Author's Response: Thank you, Mel! My fic tends to be on the short side; I'm glad you still found something meaningful here.
Loves it. I love the parallel with their first kiss and Jim's proposal in the rain. It sets it up for some beautiful imagery. I also love the two subtle lines in the fic about how he'd already purchased the ring - how it makes it "real." And I adore how wonderfully in character they both are.
As always, awesome, amazing, fantasmagoric work.
