"TBC (at some point LOL)"

^It's never too late! There are a few unfinished fics that I would pay, really would pay, with real money! (if I could afford to). Cardiac care and Shame is the Same as Guilt, come to mind, any unfinished fic by time4moxie, and this one, AIL. $5 a chapter??? I know there's got to be more than just me still reading, but aside from the readers, wouldn't it just feel amazing to have completed this story that you put so much time and effort into already. Such a shame to have such an amazing fic unfinished.

Summary: Jim and Pam go through something difficult. No spoilers just yet, but maybe in future chapters.

Oh how I wish this were complete. This is very well done. It brought back a lot of memories that I prefer to keep buried but I so wanted to read more about their journey.

Summary: The third and final AU installment that originated with Indie Rock & Keds, and follows Jim and Pam through the next chapter of their lives with a few surprises along the way... (Babies- oops! I'm sorry, did I ruin something?)

Date: January 23, 2017 Title: Chapter 12: Pam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I always get so sad when I get to this last chapter. This universe is phenomenal, I wish it were complete.

Indie rock and keds is in the company of an elite few for me, after I finish this last chapter I always want to go back and read indie rock again, very few stories do I want to read over again immediately after I finish them. But this universe, the journey that we take with Jim and Pam is so real and honest, and this story has everything.

Summary: "Like all Mondays, they took separate cars because Pam had her art class across town after work. Like all Mondays, Pam dropped the kids off at Jim’s parent’s house in the morning and he picked them up in the evening. But today was not a regular Monday—as Jim would soon discover." After an unexpected occurrence, Pam finds herself falling in love with her husband, Jim, all over again.

Summary: Past Featured StoryThese 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.

My god!!! It absolutely kills me that I don't know the outcome of this story. This many chapters in, usually I can pretty much figure out what's going to happen, but with this one it could go so many ways. I just need to know. I've never wanted an unfinished story to be complete more than this one. This was amazing!

This is just brilliant, one of the most well written stories on this site. It's hilarious and smart and romantic and just so well done. And with such an out of the box situation, nothing feels forced. Not in the slightest.

At first I thought all the business aspects of story would be way over my head, I haven't worked in over 14 years, but you managed to write it in a way that is smart but still very easy to understand.

I feel fairly confident assuming that this story was well planned out, probably to the end. Even in the very first chapter jim has already started thinking about ways to turn this Scranton acquisition into a better opportunity for himself professionally and personally. Jim and Pam’s development and characterization was written so well, the chemistry between them is outstanding and that is an odd thing to find in fanfic, characters written so well I can sense their chemistry. And then of course all the details and depth of each scene. It kills me that so much amazing work, time, thought went into this story and it hasn’t been properly finished. I’d love to know what happened when Jo arrived. How did jim and Pam convince her that they weren’t taking advantage. Does Jim end up getting the job up north overseeing the DM branches? Is Pam successful in training program? Does Pam meet the Halpert family? And how do they react to her? So many questions left unanswered.

From Jim working through his existential crisis to following the development of jim and pams relationship and all the acquisition story in between... this is one of very few stories that just sticks with me long after I read it and it just begs to be finished and marked complete.

Summary: She’s been wondering if he ever thinks about her, or when he does, or why. She wonders when she'll stop thinking of him in this way, or if she ever will, or if she'll ever find out what his lips feel like. She’s thinking about this as she’s getting ready to leave at the end of a long work day, when the phone rings. And it’s him.

So, there is very little activity here at Mtt. Sadly I discovered it way too late but I've been hanging around for awhile reading all the happy jam my little heart desires. I feel bad though because I never looked at the new stuff, didn't really think there would be any. Anyway, I freaking love this! Please continue!

I stumbled upon this again tonight...It's been quite awhile since I last reviewed this story and a lot has changed around here. For one, our little archive is under new ownership and management. Second, we've had a good amount of new stories and activity lately..

I'd like to invite you back, hopefully to finish this fic! I really like this idea and I hope you've got more to add!

Whew, ok. You made me even more angry at S9 Jim so good job there.

Pam I definitely feel here that she is lost aching drowning. And he is just not able to give her what she needs to feel right again.
He’s clearly not quite figured it out but he’s working on it. :/
“I'm going to do better”
Much easier to say than to put into action.

But the part that really had me angry at jim is where you have him coming home and completely disregarding everything and instantly taking her to bed.
I would, however, say that what you wrote makes so much sense. He’s coming home looking for action and not realizing things aren’t how they should be. Daft man that he is during that time.

At the same time pam is allowing it because she’s so desperate for normalcy, for that connection, to believe they are what they were.

But one thing is clear, neither of them are suffering due to a lack of love. Even in that short piece, where tension is high, its apparent.

I think this feels very realistic. And her being able to break down, in his arms, because of him (again) is the perfect ending.

It must have been so stressful and exhausting every day to have to come to work feeling so alone and with so much turmoil inside and have to put on a brave face for coworkers and cameras

This is one of my favorite episodes so of course I love this 😍 Just the right amount of goofy, fluff, and sexiness.
Jim climbing over the center rather than going out the door had me cracking up, I can’t imagine my 6’1” DH doing that at all but then I pictured Jim climbing out of that box all gangly and I wouldn’t want it any other way, it’s just too funny.
Gotta say though, I think my favorite part is this.

"Or our shower," Pam said with a smirk.
