Jim and Pam, a snowstorm, and a bottle of tequila. Could a Christmas miracle finally force these two to be honest with each other?
Takes place immediately following A Benihana Christmas.
1 Wow, so unpredictable! It got better with each paragraph, I cannot wait till I read the rest.
1 Karen as Jim's BFF?! Yes, please!!!
1 Jam in a pretend relationship is becoming one of my favorites thanks to you!
Meeting in an unusual place in life, a broken Jim and Pam try their best to put the pieces of their lives back together while not falling apart and back down the hole that they're trying to help one another out of.
Based on the song "How Not To" by Dan + Shay, because do I *ever* write something that *isn't* based on a song?
1 I normally avoid stories with smoking and cigarettes mentioned at all costs (because it grosses me out to no end), but this one just sucked me in, because it is so well written, the premise is unique and I simply cannot wait to find out each of Jam's stories. Love it!
1 I love your chapter notes, they guarantee a laugh even in serious fics.
1 Who wouldn?t love Ted, Marshall and Lily?
1 I'm so here for more broken!Jim and Pam!
May I just say that I absolutely dig Jim&Karen BFFs? Original and actually so fitting.
I really like this story and think it's beautifully written, but may I have a question? Is it actually normal to drive after drinking in the US? TV shows and fanfics are full of these situations and this particular one has it in almost every other chapter, so I thought I'd ask. It seems unthinkable to me to have a beer/champagne and sit behind a wheel after it.
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind words. As to your question about drinking and driving--and I don't recall them doing much of that in this particular fic---but anyway, here in the US, unless you live in a big city, most people drive everywhere. It is legal here to drive after you've had a couple of drinks, but not legal to drive drunk. You are tested on this if you are pulled over by the police. You could lose your driver's license or even go to jail for drunk driving. So, most responsible people do not drive drunk here, or after a drink or two. My husband, for example, won't drink at all if he is driving, and neither do I. I appreciate the question. Thanks again for the review.
Thank you for your response! There may have been just two instances in this fic (or less), but I have been curious about the standards abroad for so long that I just had to ask. Great fic nonetheless!
Anything can happen on Halloween.1 I say be proud of it, I welcomed it with open arms.
1 Wow! What a ride.
'That is what she said' got me rolling😆
1 This is scandalizingly stunning!
Pam's father is leaving her mother. Somehow, Jim is to blame.
Set Season 3, sometime after The Merger.
(Don't ask me why I took a perfect canon moment, put it in Season 3 & sprinkled in some angst, but I did...)
1 You should definitely keep your fics M/MA more often! This was definitely amazing, not even mentioning it was your first atempt.
When it is revealed that Pam missed out on the joys of her senior prom, Jim and Michael bring the employees of Dunder Mifflin together for a night that everyone will remember.
Not at *all* inspired by Savage Garden.
It's so great to read from Jim's point of view!
1 Do not apologize. I never saw angst connected so effectively with smut. You've got some amazing writing skills!
He was never meant to end up here, to meet her, and to have his life changed forever.
How I missed your writing style! Such a pleasure to find this updated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!d84;a039;d84;a039;d84;a039;
Author's Response: Aww, thank you for saying so! Thank you for reading and enjoying it!
You got me on the edge of my seat, cannot wait to read the rest!
Glad to see the opportunity for continuation! Thank you for this journey, it has been exquisite.
Author's Response: Thank you for coming along! I appreciate your support of this story, I really do.
Pam lets Roy take her home after Phyllis’ Wedding.
Sometimes you just listen to Tegan and Sara’s entire discography, get lost in your feels about early Grey’s (particularly that time Meredith slept with George) and write this…
Yay, a Grey's Anatomy crossover!
'He thought that one day when things were finally right between them, he would tell her about this evening, and the painting, and the sun in her hair. But this day hadn’t come yet.'
Set before the seasons (and in AU).
Last time I was on Lys? hora, the witchea must've had some sort of gathering. I don't remember the weather ever being this bad for such a long time except for some recent floods... Gret chapter as always!
This premise is surely promising, cannot wait to find out how it unravels!
1 Nice usage of June 10th! I really hope Jim has some terrible trauma to justify this, I like to read about this person, but his possible redeemability makes it easier.
1 I can't wait for you to continue this story. There are never enough AUs, not to mention this good!
