Fluff of the fluffiest order. Jim and Pam move in together. Set in S3 (fingers crossed) LOL! NO SPOILERS AT ALLAfter business hours I get so tired of having to answer my own phone..." Ha! Cuddly, jokey Jim and Pam: you're a whiz! The dialogue in this is wonderful and kept me grinning the whole way through. I missed this when it was first posted, I'm really glad it was featured!
Author's Response: HA! I love these little peeks into what could be - so I just had to! Glad you found it!! Thanks Paper Jam!
Before, during, after (peas, waffles.) Post-Cocktails...but no fighting.Perhaps worrying about him being bruised and battered now was too little too late.
Great line! I also really like Pam trying to be near him without disturbing him. It's so in character for her. Even when she's taking big steps, it's in a quiet, unassuming way. And then Jim makes her work a little for him, which is excellent.
‘Say my name,’ he sighs, still moving. *fans self*
And I love the two of them trying not to smile about Roy getting a bloody nose. Hee.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
Oh, yay. I love the contrast of the impatient, rushing work Jim and the lazy, happy home Jim. Well done!
Cute. Also? Never fall asleep with your clothes off in the office. A very sweet read.
Author's Response: Thanks!
MEMBER'S CHOICE - It's Michael's Birthday. Pam remembers. It's a whole lot different than it was just a year ago.I know now that for eight hours every day you pretended I was yours. So true, and heartbreaking when you think about it like that. This was just lovely. I could almost feel Pam's heart skip a beat at the end.
Author's Response:
Thank you Paper Jam. It is breaking my heart - just how much scares me more than a little. ;)
Hopefully happier days are around the corner.
Screaming and tears in the parking lot! Bless their hearts! Sorry this review is so late, I was waiting till it was done, and then real life took over. Chockful of domestic yummyness, can't wait to read the rest!
Author's Response: Real life? Have we no priorities? So glad you liked the domestic yum...hell, they can't always be angst-ing, can they? Thanks much Paper Jam!
Yes! The suntan lotion is back! "And other things too?" Yeah, that's as good as cookies and ice cream. And so are these stories!
Author's Response: Thanks to you, Jim+suntan lotion is an image forever burnt into my brain. So happy you like these silly things (and, hmmm, what other things could he have in mind? Can't imagine ; )
Sexy and lazy (the good kind) and funny. Classic Colette. Also, I think I caught Halpert Syndrome. If you could just send along the prescribed treatment, that would be great!
I love Pam not being impressed by Jim's charm when she's trying to win an argument. She knows his tricks. Delightful!
Author's Response: Yeah, she knows him alright (lucky bitch.) I love her and Jim's relationship with Michael...wanted that to carry it, not just Jim sweet talking her. Though, I think the boy could be VERY persuasive.
Aw. Poor freaked out Jim. He would totally panic, wouldn't he?
Thanks for these! You're a genius, as always!
Pam comes clean at the Laudromat, which in case you didn't know is quite the hotbed of romance. :) Post-Cocktails fic.
Wonderful! You always write them so well. I wish I could give you a more detailed review but I'm 3 (3!) pages behind on the most recent stories. I have a long, but enjoyable night ahead of me, if this fic is any indication. Bravo!
Author's Response:
Paper Jam - I feel your pain. I'm trying to keep up but it is so difficult.
So glad you enjoyed it. :)
Haha! These all made me laugh really hard! Stinky flesh eating bacteria! Ha!
It had to be some cosmic joke that, the week after her divorce was final, she ended up making out with Michael Scott in a hotel room. 
9 I can't believe this only has 5 reviews! What! You did a really good job with this. Excellent Jan POV and some great back stories. Favourite Lines: (She did wake up that way, though.) And: All of a sudden Jan was a third wheel on her own date.
Very well done!
Jim and Pam reconnect. No Spoilers.
Aw! This was so lovely! And of course Michael takes the credit!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
In the end, it is never, never giving up.
[Post Cocktails]
Sorry I didn't leave a review last night, but it would have consisted mostly of "whuuuu...whoa..." Heh. I needed to re-read again in the light of day. I loved the pacing and the imagery. My favourite line was: She spends the day a tangled heap of sparking wires, ready to flicker at the slightest provocation because it's "Pam is jumpy" only you painted the feeling instead of saying it. And: it hurts so much to think of Karen watching him close the blinds, of all the ways they’ve hurt each other before broke my heart. You have captured them both perfectly in raw form and it was a pleasure to read.
Author's Response: What a great review! Capturing them in "raw form" is such a huge compliment, and I'm so happy you liked the line about Pam and her jumpiness throughout the day too. Thanks so much for your thoughts!
MEMBER'S CHOICE - Pam's asking herself why she wanted to be set-up when the answer walks through the door.
Excellent. You say so much in very few words; I'm always impressed by your characterizations.
Story formerly known as Spring Cleaning. When he realizes she's asking him a serious question there is not even a moment’s hesitation before he answers. “Sure. What do you need?” Future fluff. Spoiler free, non-fat, as light as airy spun sugar. ;)
I have no words for how smiley this made me. It's like The Negotiation is deleted from my brain! I love couples cooking. And the chapter title is so wonderful. Well done!
Author's Response:
Paper Jam - my work is done then. LOL! I really, really REALLY just want to see them together on screen. Is that so wrong??
I refuse to believe it won't happen soon. Glad you liked the title too - sometimes they are easy to find but I had to search a little for this one.
Looks great, Pumpkin! Oh, and I forgot to mention that I really like how your Pam isn't suddenly a great artist overnight after hearing Gil's comments. These things take time and she's still finding her way.
Yay for happy stories! This was adorable! Thanks for the smile!
When her mom gets sick, it seems like it'll be alright. Set sometime in the future with Jim and Pam married. 10 Fanfic rarely makes me cry, but this one got me. You write with such pure emotion (not the kind you see on tv, but the kind in your head). Jim's helplessness was perfectly done, because even though he's sad, her grief is far more important than his. I especially love Pam's difficulty getting dressed. It's so stupid, but that really does happen. And the hopeful ending was beautiful, the kind of thing you need to hear after heartbreak.
She looks down at her lap and shrugs. "Am I not holding it right?" [Spoilers up to and including Email Surveillance]you know no one's ever said it that way and probably never will again.
Gah! Broke my heart! And:
"So, you'll teach me?" she asks is another wonderful line, because it obviously has so much more meaning that just playing the guitar and sums up the emotion of the story perfectly. Sweet and sexy, as well!
"Oh, like for our chakras to be in alignment during a full moon," she teased, pulling onward toward the entrance doors.
It's the full moon tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
"Who's that? The 'historian' guide?"
This is Michael's voice exactly; the way he tries to discredit a real henest to goodness fact just by using air quotes. I love it! And Jim and Pam knowing just how to distract Michael: involve him in the show! Wonderful job, Moxie!
Very nice! A perfect balance of Jim being a dolt, and Ryan being well, Ryan. I think your Ryan voice is very true, brutal without being intentionally cruel. He just doesn't care enough about other people's problems to be mean. And Jim's flat out denial is great. He really does need to tell himself that to get through the day.
Thanks Paper Jam. I was hoping that would be the case.
Oh Jim. Just admit it already. SIGH.
You know I love this, but see? Everyone else does too! Nothing to be scared of :)
Author's Response: Thank you. You are the bestest beta ever.
1 So, I know I left you an epic, mostly illegible review (I still can't explain what happened) over at LJ, but I wanted to stop in here as well and thank you for making all my Karen/Andy dreams come true. Better than I could have hoped for. Thanks again!
Author's Response:
Thanks!! Your LJ feedback was AWESOME and I responded over there, but I wanted to say again, THANK YOU for the awesome prompts. And I can't wait to finish my Jim/Pam story from your excellent prompt. The fact that you really appreciate my fic means so much to me. I spend my days right now doing work that I think doesn't mean very much to people except in the very very grand scheme of things, so the fact that there is one person out there who is touched by something I did is so rewarding I can't even express it. So, thanks again!
