A oneshot, inspired by the photo in Jane magazine (imagining, of course, that it's of Pam, not Jenna F.)
9 I'm really late to the party, but I wanted to leave a few words, because I really love this picture of Jenna Fischer - how perfect and gorgeous is she? - and I'm just in love with what you decided to do from it!
The premise of the fic were already to my taste - Jim reflecting on how he likes Pam in his space always makes me smile - but it's the little details that won me, like him understanding that she needs to be in familiar surroundings at the beginning of her relationship, or the description of the light in the kitchen. Really well done!!
Author's Response: I just saw this - haven't been around the archive much and this is an oldie...so glad you found it! I remember thinking that photo practically begged for a story - happy you did too. Thanks so much for the kind review!
Only reviewing now, but I just wanted to say I love everything this AU chooses to be! I remember thinking when I read the first chapter that the premise was very interesting, and the following chapters were just as good. Also, your pace of updating is really impressive! It was a little bit like Christmas morning to go here and see a new chapter had been added. Great job, and hope you have other things in stock for us :)
Author's Response: Awesome! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. And if can continue to make it like Christmas morning more often I will. :)
When Jim can't be there when Pam needs him, he sends a little love through the mail.
My contribution to the "Pam in New York" theme
I really loved this story, and the two boxes Jim sent to Pam are the cutest thing. No wonder Pam opened the other box too! ;) I really liked how all played out, and him coming at the end made me squee. Good writing, and good fic!
I really like this series! My favorite is probably Karen's chapter, I think you got her well and I think if they were to meet up in the show, they would be able to talk about what happened without any angst or anger :)
As for the suggestions, I'd like to see something with Mark - maybe because he's not mentionned in the show anymore, so it's hard to know if Jim kept in touch with him.
Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this, and probably will come back to reread some chapters again :)
Oh, and yes, David Wallace! Could be fun and sweet to see him finally understanding what was the deal with Jim's interview :)
Jim takes a drive to ask an important question.Awww, that's really sweet! I think you really captured well Jim's nervousness and linked it really well to the show.
I also love the fact that Pam's parents know exactly what Jim is doing, and yet keep pretending and are still very moved. The sentence about Jim relating to Pam's dad because they have one goal in common was really touching.
Very well done! And poor 34-years-from-now!Jim :D
Spoilers through the Ultimatum.
Pam comes home to a sick husband and baby after a hard, frustrating day.
I love how you wrote Pam's frustration, the fact that she starts the evening thinking she's mad at Jim while she's just really frustrated with how the day went. We all have bad days, and Pam gets Cece, Jim and ice cream at the end of hers. Lucky lady! ;)
Author's Response: Haha, yeah we should all be so lucky to come home to our own personal Jim...not perfect - but thoughtful enough to try and make us feel better. :-) Thanks so much for the review!
AU with a season three backdrop. Pam finds herself pregnant. Shenanigans ensue from there.So, the cat's out of the bag! Poor Pam, being attacked by her colleagues and not even being able to tell Jim he's the father... Can't wait to see what happens next! Very good job with this fic, which I should review more often :)
Author's Response: I know, no one deserves to be attacked for something that everyone should be happy for her for. I think we should all review more ;) But thank you for taking the time to drop a line, I really appreciate it!
Let's hope they'll keep walking! ;)
Good stuff, I was grinning from beginning to end. Thanks for this!!
Author's Response: Thanks for the read and review, and yeah, the Halperts keep right on walking.
Takes place shortly after TLM. Michael shares his vision for the sequel with Jim. It involves considerably less wardrobe than the original...and possibly 'a dance of forbidden love.' Forgive me.
I loved this! :D I love how Jim, seing that nothing he could say would get to Michael, put it all on Pam and her "weird" views on privacy :D And the part about Cruise/Kidman, the wrong baby and Kubrick? Priceless. Very good job, thanks for this!
Author's Response: I'm glad you thought Jim's deflecting to Pam worked...and have to say, the Cruise/Kidman/Kubrick part was kind of my favorite too. Thanks for the kind review, a dork like that.
I really like that they didn't go farther than that, given that it's still season 2 and a little more could have rewritten their history, so... Really nice writing of their chemistry and of the season 2 mood. I guess Goldenface did impress the nameless receptionnist :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I was a History major...in most cases I'm pretty wary about re-writing history (except of course when it suits the plot). And by Pam's reaction to what Michael actually wrote in his script, I'd venture that our little Ms. Beasly had been duly "impressed" with Goldenface (aka "Jim") long before she ever found that script in Michael's desk drawer. Just a wild guess.
I was waiting for a fic like this after last's week episode, and yours didn't disappoint at all! Of course Pam thought it was perfect, and of course Jim would worry about it after his coworkers' comments! And baby Cece splashing his dad was a bonus :D I'm glad you decided to write, and I hope to read more of you here :)
Author's Response: Thanks for take the time to review! It's always appreciated.
