Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.Oh my. You have outdone yourself this time. This is all kinds of awesome. Never did I think I would enjoy anything Ryan/Pam but I am loving this and I also love jealous Jim!
Wow. I'm a huge Jam fan myself but I was actually hoping for some action in Ryan's cabin ;) More please!
Author's Response: Hehe, so glad you think so ;) More tomorrow, scout's honor!
“I get it now, she’s everything I’m not.” She says as a few tears slip out from beneath her lashes. His subconscious realizes at this moment that she’s unconsciously mimicking a line from the Royal Tenenbaums, one of their joint favorite films. When he replays this conversation in his mind later, this will break his heart.
Oh I really like where this could go...you should continue but I can't really give you advice 'cause I'm not sure what direction you had originally planned on. However, I'm hooked :)
This is great. I love how you couple the moments of "risks" and the moments of "rewards". The whole story was nicely done. I really enjoyed it all equally - both e angst and fluff.
A now-AU post-Cocktails story. I went back and did some retouching. Angsty Pam and Jim.
5 That was really sweet. I like your interpretation of how things could happen after the "Roy" incident. It's nice to see them not so angry and a little softer towards eachother. Good job!
Author's Response:
Thank you!
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. ;)
Ahh...I needed some fluff..your fluff..after last night's episode. Perfect, as usual! Thank you :)
Author's Response:
Thanks kells! I know the episode was tough - but I really think it's going to be OK. Remember that Pam did not deny her feelings for Jim when Roy brought it up. That's HUGE. So hang in there.
PS - That doesn't mean I won't keep cranking out fluff. LOL! I talk a big game but I still like to cushion the blows so to speak. ;)
10 As usual, I love your Jim and Pam. It's also totally plausible that they'd still be carrying around some of what happened between them.
Author's Response: Thanks kells!! I think they would be too. Not too much of it - but enough that it might spring to mind from time to time. I think, hope, figure they have gotten past most of it by now though. So glad you liked it!!
Ahhh....xoxoxo. You know exactly what we needed. I love your fluff - it's the prettiest fluff of all.
SEriously though - this is all kinds of sweet and perfect. I always love your fluffy Jim and Pam. They make me smile. What a great way to start the day!
And? More chapters? I'm so excited I can't wipe the stupid grin off my face! Yay!
That's so sweet of you to say kells. It makes me smile writing things like this so I am glad we are on the same page.
Yep. 3 more chapters. So stay tuned!
She looked over the boxes with wide eyes, overwhelmed by all the choices. Words like clear and easy were jumping out at her and she had no idea what to do because this was the furthest thing from clear or easy that she had ever done.
Title Courtesy of a Muse song.
I too just loved this. Like someone else mentioned - it was the tiny details. I loved Pam's train of thought about her instinct kicking in and why they shouldn't be parents. As a mother of three I can totally relate to that scary feeling.
Great job!
As I mentioned in another review, it’s nice to hear people who have experience this enjoyed it. Thank you so much!
**sigh** I love this. This is pure fluff and I love every word of it.
Summary: "He asked that I engage the rest of the men in the office in it as a morale building exercise."
Spoilers through The Negotiation.
OOPS! Looks like Jim got himself in some hot (hotter?) water. Can't wait to see where this goes. I'm loving this so far.
When her mom gets sick, it seems like it'll be alright. Set sometime in the future with Jim and Pam married. Wow. I still have a lump in my throat from reading this.
This was beautiful and touching. I too love your first person Jim. It feels real and honest and very - him. The whole thing, every word, was just perfect.
Jan could use a few pointers. Fortunately, Pam has been taking notes. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. I love how Pam knows him so well. I love how she can predict what he wants, what he'll say, what he won't do, etc. perfect. Very clever!
Author's Response: I don't think Pam would survive at Dunder-Mifflin that long without learning a few tricks. Thanks, kells8995!
Whew. That was hot. I think I need a cold shower now. HA!
Feel free to write more smut - often ;)
Thank you. I'm considering it.
**sigh**
I really needed this tonight. THIS is exactly how I would love for it to happen....you need to write for this show!
I hope there's more coming - is there more coming? Pretty please??
OMG! That's the best possible way, I think. Love this!
21 Perfect! If only it were this easy! Thank you!
Author's Response: *sighs* Yes, I wish it was this easy, too. LOL. You're welcome!
I've got to be honest with you - at first the idea of this fic didn't appeal to me at all. But, now? I love it. I love how we get glimpses of the story through the lines reviewers put in their reviews - I love the subtle hints in the author's responses. I love how you seem to be getting in their heads and going back through critical S2 Jim and Pam moments. This is so well done and I am really looking forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm glad you are enjoying it now.
I really like where this is going. You have Dwight down perfectly. I can actually picture Pam's reaction to this comment:
Dwight sighed. "Fine. First of all you must attract your suitor. Clearly you will need some assistance."
I'm really looking forward to more of this!
poor clueless Dwight, I half want FNB to beat him up at the Dojo, but I'm already done the second part so...
glad you're liking it!
Role Reversal Challenge: It's May 2006. Jim's wedding is approaching and a lovelorn Pam can't take much more. Starts during Casino Night (or an AU version of it).
9 YAY! I'm so glad you updated. I really like this - it's similar to Casino Night, but yet at the same time it's so different. It's really interesting to see things turned around the other way. More please!
"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."
Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.
10 Wow. This story is just so..intense. In a good way. You make me feel like they do - I actually have tears in my eyes. I cannot wait for more.
10 This story. Just, wow. This chapter could not have been any more perfect. I can see though, how it would be difficult for you - so many directions in which you could go, but I think you absolutely nailed it and it was just...perfect.
I just love how Jim knows how to get through to her - what to do, what NOT to say. I love how he wants to protect her and SHOW her, not just tell her. I honestly have no words for how much I love this story and I was ECSTATIC to see it updated. I can't wait for the next update.
No he didn't. I can't believe he went there. Oh wait, it's Michael - yes I can.
I am loving this. You captute them all so well. I can't wait for more!
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
10 okay! I like this one much better. It's not that the last one was bad, but it was just suddenly really hard to relate to Pam and really feel for her. Here, you can still sense her hesitation but it's much more understandable and believable! I cannot wait to see what happens upstairs :)
Author's Response: lol I like this one better too! Thanks for reading!!!
8 Okay - so what the hell is her problem? I know she is grieving and all but girl needs to get a grip.
That said, I have faith in you and this story - soooo I can't wait to see where this goes. Please update soon!
