They say there are 5 stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. You'll see Pam go through them - with some future fluff every other chapter to keep you from pulling your hair out. There will be 10 chapters in all. :)
10 What a beautiful end to a great story. I'm so sorry to see it end but I anxiously await your next one!
Author's Response: :) Thanks kaystar!!
10 "The dress she wore for him. Not for Roy. Not for anyone. Just him." - that was beautiful. I am really going to miss your series. I've really enjoyed them so much!
10 This line was so sweet - "She’s talking about something, what she ate for dinner last night maybe, but what he hears is that she misses him."
10 This sounds just like Michael - you really got him down:“No, Jim. She isn’t happy. She’s just a big, mopey blob…thing,” he finally says, sticking his tongue out in disgust." I'm so glad you are continuing this - I love these stories!
10 I'm surprised Pam put Jim's card on the frig where Roy can see it but I thought Jim's drawing was adorable!
Each chapter I think is my favorite, but I now know that this one is! I just loved it, especially the last line. So very poignant. Awesome series.
This was so heartbreakingly beautiful - "Because I missed you, too isn’t any declaration of love, but it’s close enough for now".
10 I love that Jim is so supportive of her taking the internship vs Roy saying it was a risk with no guarantees. Heck Roy, life itself is a risk with no guarantees! Great chapter.
10 I loved this the first time I read it and love it even more today!
10 Great story! I love how you interspersed Jim's message with the rest of the story, revealing a little bit more each time. I really enjoyed this.
10 I totally loved the email from Katy - and the reactions of the other women. But my favorite part was the end, so full of promise!!! Great story!
Pam sees something she used to not like very much through new eyes.
10 That was so very hot - wow! Although I did chuckle at the last line.. Very well done!
The five minutes immediately following Casino Night. And then beyond. Author is spoiler-free.
10 This really described Jim's longing so well - "You'd imagined it a thousand times. More than that. Five hundred sheets of paper to a ream, ten reams per case. Fill a truck with cases of paper and maybe you can approach the number of minutes you've spent imagining what this moment might be like." Such a beautiful story.
10 What a wonderful ending to a beautiful story. It made my heart smile.
8 Just before he covered her lips with his own, he whispered, “I would have come running.” - that was so romantic! I'm so glad you got them back together in the end.
Author's Response: Yes, I quite liked that image myself. :-D
10 This was so sweet and romantic. I love that the Key West Condo was Oscar's, too.
Author's Response:
I finally got to use the Key West idea which had been kicking around in my head! And then I didn't really use the location to its fullest extent - maybe next time.
Thanks!
Roy tries to remember when everything went to hell.
10 This line was so completely perfect - "I asked Halpert to keep an eye on her. Turns out he had been all along."
Author's Response: Thanks! Roy deserves to lose her if he's paying that little attention to Pam and her feelings.
10 Great story! I love that Pam's mom didn't look shocked at all and that Pam smiled a little. Sigh..... Any chance you would continue this?
Casino Night alt-ending for the Second Choices challenge.
10 You say so much with so few words and craft such a wonderful story - even when the subject is yuckky.
10 Oh, poor Michael! No wonder he hates Toby with such a passion. But what a nice son! And I loooved the "tempest in the teepee". Great story!!
Jim teaches Pam the finer points of basketball. She's a quick study.10 What a sweet, sexy story! After my 10 hr trip today from IN to VA I needed this nice fluff! Yea for Hoosier basketball ideas!
Author's Response: Yea, indeed ;) Glad this one helped!
This is my response to today's Jim/Jan challenge. Cough. I fully blame nomadshan -- she started it!! Or was it Morning Angel?
In either case - you're both awesome. :O)
10 Wow. This was powerful. You write a very believable drunk and angry (and hurt) Jim.
Pam's been faking it. Roy asks Jim how to fix it.
Absolutely loved this! Hot, sexy, funny and awkward all rolled up in a nice fluffy ball of Jam-iness. (Fans self. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?)
There is a kind of art to them. (Jim and Pam and traditional glassblowing.)10 Beautiful story. So very romantic but educational for the reader at the same time. And Jim sucking the blood from her finger - wow.
A POV story. He hears.... She feels.....
I wrote this at the end of season 2 and thought that it could apply to season 3 as well. Takes place mid-season 2 or 3.
