Summary:

It takes two weeks for everything to fall apart, for something so seemingly well put together (and so poorly thought out) to quietly crumble at Karen’s feet.  (Karen/Toby)  Spoilers through Traveling Salesmen.

Oh, you are killing me.  I already secretly lust after Toby (the green tie! goodness) and this has just taken it up a notch.  I envy your prolific awesomeness of writing.  (That doesn't even sound like english, but oh well.)  

Amazing and wonderful, as always.  :)

Ok, first things first....I adore that Explosions in the Sky song.  The moment I read the note about it at the beginning, I felt the need to put it on for effect. :) 

This was beautiful...the imagery and phrasing and emotion is just....perfect.  And I shall never look at a vacant parking garage the same way.  You should write something every. day.   



Author's Response:

It is the most beautiful song.  Is it sad that I'm already planning Jim and Pam's wedding song?  Oh well.

Thank you for this review, I was sketchy about this story but you made me feel much better about it.

Summary:

Jim. From Casino Night to post The Return. Sometimes things go in a circle.

You should write everything in an hour if it comes out like this.  Beautiful, and I love how the image of their hands has come full circle. 

"They work together like they’ve never missed a beat. It’s seamless, it’s perfectly played. It’s just them."

That is....exactly how I felt watching The Return.  And the last line made me sigh.  Just...no words for how much I loved this. 



Author's Response: Aw, thanks, Bennie. There was just something about the images of their hands separating (GWH) then touching again (TR) that just spoke volumes to me. And pranking really is their currency, I think. Anyway, so glad this struck a chord and thanks so much for the lovely review!

Summary:

This is along the same lines as my other Away From the Cameras, in the sense that I'm exploring scenes that might have happened off-camera (or simply those that we didn't get to see).

A few things: First, I'm working on the assumption that a lot of what I wrote in the AFtC for season II stands (though I likely won't reference any of it here), up until Casino Night.  (Clearly I was quite off about what happened after the kiss...heh.)

Second, there will be flashbacks filling in the blanks of what happened immediately after CN (how long did Jim work? how did he and Pam ultimately leave things? how did she end things with Roy? how did Jim find out about her cancelling the wedding?); the flashbacks will happen largely in the chapters pre-merger (to keep things interesting for Jim/Pam fans during their physical separation).

Okay, seriously?  You were going to sit on this and deprive me us of it for an extra day?  Shameful, Ms. Stupensky, shameful.  Every little detail is perfect, and it broke my heart in the best way.  I hate that I can't quite articulate how much I loved this, so I'll just say: I loved it.  And if anyone is even able to find ANY suckage or errors, then blame me all you want (too bad that will never happen).

Author's Response: Yay, so glad you liked it! And when I say I'm glad it broke your heart, I mean that in the best way, too.  :o) Thanks again!

But you laughed and even though you kind of spit on me, it was everything. You laughed kind of like you haven't laughed in a really long time. Have you? I want to make you laugh always. Especially when it's just the two of us like that, because at that moment, for me anyway, we were the only ones in the room. You, me, and a hole in the wall with silly hats on our heads that sort of hid us from the rest of the world.

Oh, MAN.  I was beyond excited to see a new one from you, and you did not disappoint.  Perfect Pam perspective, really, everything is just so...her.  And the last lines are amazing.  It's not too late!  *Sigh*

Wonderful again. :) 



Author's Response: Thanks Bennie!  Yay, you picked my favorite part!  Jim's laugh in that part with the sombreros just kills me.  It's like he's been waiting for months just to be able to laugh at something Pam's said but he's been holding it in.  Thank you again!

The reason I like this SO MUCH is because it's different and has an excellent stream-of-consciousness Pam perspective.  And the use of "friend" when they aren't really friends.  YAY.  I hope you write more soon. ;)

Summary:

Sometimes Jim hears about how people do crazy things when they've got nothing left to lose, but he's never been that kind of person.

You know, I am so behind on my reviewing, but I just needed to say: amazing.  Plus, one of my favorite poems, hands down. (Heh - actually I just used the same poem for a title:))

Anyway, I don't think I can say anything that already hasn't been said, so just thank you and, yes, you perfectly portrayed a situation in which Jim and Pam would "get to it" right away.  

Author's Response: Thank you so much!  Haha, I love the coincidence that we both like the same poem and used it for a title within the same few days.  It's like a little homage to ESVM. :)

And it was, but how could I admit that?

I have such a soft spot for poetry, and this was written so well...it's so simple and emotional. 

So I kissed him back with everything I had in me
And he deepened the kiss, his hands on my back
We fit together like the final piece of a large jigsaw puzzle 

Just beautiful. :)



Author's Response: Thank you so much!  I don't usually write poetry, just because I've never really liked the outcome of when I write stuff like this, but that kiss from Casino Night just kills me and inspired this (quite obviously, LOL).  Thank you for your review!  I appreciate your thoughts!

You know, after the episode last night and hearing all of the speculation regarding what will or will not happen at the wedding, I actually was hoping someone would write a story where Pam slid back to Roy, because it just seemed so possible and heartbreaking...and this is so good.  All of the misinterpretations and insecurities just...beautiful.  Oh, Pam.  Oh, Roy.  Oh, Everyone.  God, I hope this doesn't happen. 

Author's Response: Thank you. I hope not, too. "Possible and heartbreaking" was excactly what I was feeling when I thought of it, so I am especially thankful for that comment. Fingers crossed, all together now.

The tips of his fingers are always cold and he thinks if somehow it were to happen again, even the slide of iridescent silk beneath his fingers wouldn’t dull the numbness, even the feel of her skin wouldn’t burn.

So beautiful - I have so much love for this.  It's such a different way to view Jim with respect to all of the....Pam emotions.  I really wish that I could successfully articulate everything I loved, but I can't right now, so I'll just repeat - love.  I adore the flow of your writing style.   



Author's Response: Thank you so much!  Complimenting my writing style is probably the nicest thing you could do -- it's something I work hard on, so I appreciate that.  Thanks again!  So glad you liked it.

his cheek feels a little scratchy against her skin, like stubble can.  

 

Oh man...this was well worth the wait.  I adore the way his scarf then becomes him, and it's all so brilliant and beautifully written.   This broke my brain a little bit, so I apologize for the incoherent review. (Good thing I have 9 left...) 

Author's Response: Sorry to break your brain (and never apologize for a review like this!) but I'm really pleased you liked it - I had trouble just getting this damn thing done. So where are my other 9 reviews? (Just kidding. Sort of.) Thanks much!

Author's Response: Oops, forgot...so glad you picked up that repeated (or parallel) line....there are a couple like that in there, and I wondered if anyone would notice.

Ok, first of all, you could never creep me out, especially since I get pretty creepy when I talk about you/this story/Ryan/BJ/etc.  Heee.  But seriously, I should thank YOU for letting me help you with this masterpiece. 

Michael/Sex and the City party?  So PERFECT.  Honestly, one of the things that make this SO GOOD is the fact that everyone is perfectly in character.  Your Kelly voice is amazing, and your Oscar, your OSCAR, is just spot on and he only has a couple lines!  You captured the perfect Michael/Pam dynamic and Karen is spot on and Jim's special selfish way of looking at things is just...yes.  Everyone is in character and I can't even...

Ryan!  He is SO Ryan and you've illustrated SO WELL how he and Pam (and don't even get me started on your Pam - guh) could work because their personalities, their characters, could really mesh well within the current canon/how they are presented on the show.  And it's all so realistic and YES.

I mean, they leave Dunder Mifflin!  The two characters on the show that I could see leaving DM is those two, honestly.  Jim has that stagnant quality, and you know that once Pam gets her act together she could and should leave, and Ryan...he's in business school for a reason, folks.  He wants to change, he wants to go places.  He's a real guy, both on the show and in the story, and it's so...real and I love you.

In conclusion, the end is perfect and makes me cry a little bit, because it's sweet and real and GOD I want those two crazy kids to make it.  Ryanfic forever!  You WIN ALL.
