Summary:

Post ep The Job.  Spoilers for The Job and probably most of season 3. 

"So where do you see yourself in 10 years?"  Who knew one question could provoke a reaction?  Jim sure didn't.  Starts with the David/Jim conversation and moves on from there.

haha. i knew as soon as i saw Dwight's back that he'd left a message for her there. great start. i can't wait to see where you take it. 

Summary: Past Featured Story

"'Jiiiiiiiiim. Come to beeeed,' Pam’s voice is light, and it mistily floats down the empty staircase as it swirls about the room, echoing like a siren’s song."

A series of one-shots. There are times when Jim and Pam's relationship seem a little supernatural.

Summary:

Jim's first barbeque was a success and so he decides to have another. Someone breaks into the liquor cabinet and things... take interesting turns.

Jim/Pam smut with a pretty hefty (for me) plot, but LOTS OF DRINKING! Which is always fun.

FINISHED!!!

Date: May 25, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Bad Dates Continue Like This...

first of all, Pam wearing Jim's hoodie... so cute!

second, gah the angst! no, it's good though. i really don't see them just being happy and carefree, for a little while at least. they have a LOT of crap to get through and you've written it really well. it's kind of frustrating that he's still mad at her after the giant jerk that he's been to her, but i guess i can see both sides of the story. great chapter. the chapter titles are also fun. :) 

side note: i'm glad you like my screenname... drug testing is definately in my top 5 fav. episodes. when he says "hi." i swoon every time! :)

aww! i love this SO much. i really love the comparison to Roy at the beginning, and his desire to settle things and not let it be between them. then when Pam threatens to beat up Karen i almost DIED laughing! so great. i also love how you had them address the fact that their banter is just them. and that it's wonderful. you write it very well! great chapter!!!

Date: May 24, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Bad Dates Start Like This...

"I just... I meant like the porch." HAHA! 

i love these two. i love how she's kissing him and he's still trying to talk to her. so funny. this is good stuff.  



Author's Response: Thanks rulesofjinx! BTW - LOVE your screename! One of my fave episodes of all time! 

Summary:

This can't be happening. I won't let it. This isn't the way it's supposed to happen.

Set after the Job, but no spoilers or spec, just a what-if scenario.

wait! it's finished??? i mean, i know what she's going to do, but still. i was enjoying the story. it's so wonderful! i mean, seriously, "why wait when we're more than ready?" we (as in me) are more than ready for another chapter to this story. but i guess i could just fill in the details myself. but i know you'd write it so well *wink, wink* :) 

Author's Response: Yes, it's finished...but, I'm thinking of writing another fanfic about their newly found relationship. So, keep your eyes peeled for a new one from me, or you could check out one of my other fics, The Scarlet Letter, which I'll be updating soon. Thanks for reading. I appreciate it! (and, I was thinking about a epilogue...so, there might be more...)

this is SO great. i just love that we get to see what was going on in his mind during this drive.  we didn't get to see much of it in the episode, but that look on his face seems to lead directly to his fic. i love how excited he is about everything and how you're constantly going from his love/lust for pam to what's actually going on around him in the car. it's funny and sweet and very Jim Halpert. great work. 

Author's Response: Thanks..as much as I loved the episoide it would have been nice to get a little more of Jim's side of things than we got.  Glad you liked my take on him.  

Summary:

DM's security guard Tate witnesses the arc of Jim and Pam's relationship.

Author's Response: Aw!!! Thanks for the squeee of review love!  That makes me squeee and really, isn't that all a girl needs? I think that I'm going to add a few chapters about Dwight, Meredith, and Andy's relationship with Tate too at some point, so be on the look out :)

I don’t get to kiss you again until our second date, which is three weeks after our first date, which is a year and a half after our other first date.

it's. just. everything. 

the punctuation makes it perfect. i also love that he is  so confused by the fact that things are so close to what used to be normal for them that he's worried.  But that's what he fell in love with, that easy sweet banter between them. This is written so beautifully. i love it.

wow. i really like this. i don't want to. i want to be happy with my fluffy jam. but i have to love it. because you're right. jim's a good guy. he didn't mean to hurt karen, but she OBVIOUSLY has feelings for him and he wouldn't just throw that away... he'd try to fix it. but i really don't think there's any way he can. i'm excited to see where you take this. it's very well written. you did a good job of capturing something we die hard jam-shippers tend to miss: karen's feelings for jim were real. it's hard to be upset at pam for being fancy new beesly and speaking her mind at the beach, but they could all take some lessons in timing. anyway, after a year long review, i'm looking forward to more of this. you're off to a great start. 



Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write such a thorough thoughtful review.  Much appreciated.  I agree with you -- deep down he's too good a guy to try not to fix things, but there really is no great way out of this.  (As a writer, though, I love a big, complicated  mess!)  Thanks again.
