A fluffy bit of silliness. Inspired by two challanges: Injury and Rain. It's not really tied to any particular episode, but I feel it takes place not long before 'Casino Night'.
Loved how you deftly took something so mundane as a paper cut and turned it into a pretext for fluff that just hit all of the soft spots in my heart. Thank you for writing this.
So sweet. Thanks for writing this.
Their first date gets derailed. Somehow, that's OK.
First-date-fic never gets old. Delightful. Thank you.
Author's Response: Ooh, I never got a nite about this comment. Thank you so much!!
Loved it. It moved me. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you :)
Jim has been sick for most of his life. When he takes a turn for the worse he never expected Pam to be there with him the whole time.
Pretty AU from 2nd Season
I must have read this story 10 times over the past 6 months. Even dreamt about parts of it. You are one of the reasons why I registered because I wanted to let you know how truly moved I was by your story. Thank you very much for this amazing ride.
First of all, congratulations on your Masters degree! That is quite an accomplishment. I was so excited to see this story again and actually considered it a Mother's Day present. After perusing the previous chapters to get re-acquainted with the story, I started to read the new chapter, ran out of time because of Mother's Day brunch, then when I came back to finish, you had taken it down :-( AAARGH!!!! It is totally your prerogative. But I would love for you to repost it. Despite the tragic setting, you handled this piece so beautifully and with great sensitivity. Please, please bring it back.
What a treat it is to read this beautiful story. I am so grateful that you are still committed to it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have been such a fan of yours from the very beginning and felt compelled to finally register as a member so that I could finally let you know that I really appreciate your work. I always feel soooo excited every time I see you've posted something. This current one has me totally enthralled. Love the angle you chose to give it by having varying points of view. Your characters are so true to sitcom life. Cannot wait to see where you are taking us with this. I must admit though that I am somewhat relieved that the tumor was benign although our boy is not out of the woods yet. Thank you for doing such an awesome job in entertaining us.
Ohmygod!!! Your writing is so powerful. It elicited goosebumps, sighs and this hard to describe heaviness that spreads from my chest into my stomach especially when I read the part about the dinner being his way of saying goodbye. That produced tears too! Everything about this story is so moving. What more can I say. Thank you does not seem like enough.
I agree with you about their first date consisting of lighter and heavier moments. They were trying to emerge from this dark place they had fallen into while attempting to rekindle their badly damaged friendship hoping to move on to totally unchartered territory. That's a heavy load. I think you are conveying this complexity quite well. I am thoroughly enjoying the ride. Thanks for writing.
I am giving you a standing ovation right now in front of my computer screen. Bravo and thank you so very much.
''Because I'd rather be fancy and far apart and go find her than have a brick wall between us that works in the warehouse. '' I just love that!!! I also love the way your story oscillates between hope and despair, all of it so lucidly rationalized. And the surprising reveal at the end. Just beautiful. Sooooooo happy you're working on Febrility. Can't wait to read you. Life is good! Thank you for the wonderful ride.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review! :)
BRAVO!!! All these two kids needed was a nudge in the right direction. You executed that very well. Thank you very much for totally entertaining me during my lunch hour.
Author's Response: Thank you Vitamin-D! That's my thought as well. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know!
This will be a series of one-shots that take place after an episode, in no particular order, for as long as I continue to have ideas.Lovely dialogue. Just the right balance of awkward and sincere mixed in with the implication of genuine affection. It was nice to revisit this chapter in their relationship although they still had a lot of ground to cover before finally becoming a couple. A lot of fertile ground, may I add, for an inspired author such as you! Yay for incurable Jam fanfic readers! Cannot wait to discover what else you have planned. Merci for Après.
Haha! Great job. Go PHILLIES!
Nicely bound story. No loose ends. Must be the fluff sticking everything together. Every delightful detail just seems to fit snugly into its proper place just like the Halpert family unit. I LOVED IT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Author's Response: You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome, Vitamin-D! And thanks for the sweet review - I appreciate all the kind words :)
So happy you're back. I hadn't forgetten this story, so this latest installment is quite a treat. Thank you soooooooo much for sticking to it.
First date stories never get old. Just love your take on what could have happened. Thank you for this. Please, please, please continue.
Great start! Refreshing to see a proactive Pam. Hope you did not make our boy too sick. Just enough for a bit of angst maybe or perhaps a bit of hardship to be conquered by love! Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us.
Congratulations! You obviously put a lot of care into it. I appreciate that. Thank you for breathing a bit of life in here. Wish I had the talent and inspiration to do the same.
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! You have no idea how excited I was to find a review!
Just beautiful. I love the way you wove actual "Office" dialogue into this story. The whole thing was a real treat.
Love it! "...channeling their best Courtney Cox" HAHA! Clever. Thank you so much and I sure hope you keep at it.
