Date: February 21, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: He is ... so great

For some reason now I want to see Andy actually get a girl.  For the implausibility of it.

Summary: Original hesitant title was "Five Christmas Moments in the Office that Jim Really Disliked, and Five That Actually Made Him Really Happy" so that should also be a pretty clear summary. 10 random Christmas moments Jim had over the years - skipping over this Christmas entirely, so no spoilers.

Well done, Semby.  I especially liked the moments of interaction with the other Office employees.  Makes them seem more human, as opposed to the caricatures we're used to.

Truly great (i.e. uncomfortable) Kelly/Ryan.  I don't get the sad as much as some of the other reviewers - I just get the poor, poor Ryan...  Though he did bring it upon himself.

Summary:

The office members head out for a night on the town. Spoilers up until Traveling Salesmen.

He smiles back, sort of, but he’s half-mad at her, because come on. He’s glad she’s making friends, but did it have to be with the girl he’s sleeping with? Not that she knows that yet, but still.

Great stuff.  And your Kelly was hilarious, as always.  Onward!

Reading this fic it has suddenly dawned on me that Kelly hasn't been doing her job!    She has a sacred duty to ensure that everyone knows every detail about everything, and she really dropped the ball here.

I hope you continue this soon.

Eeenteresting.  I had no idea that such a history was possible, even if the whole thing feels wrong, it somehow connects when you do it.  Funny that I never read it before I was directed from your post-Cocktails fic.  I'll have to check if there's anything else you've written that I've missed.

Author's Response: Anything is possible! On the show, we're seeing only what the cameramen choose to show us, and even then, only what the characters let the cameras catch, eh? Thanks, Alex :)

Oh my God!  This was just gah (Look what you've reduced me to).

This killed me at the end:

What’s more - he’s gone and betrayed the one person to whom he’s pledged his undying loyalty.

Michael can’t ever find out about this.

And as always Kelly is hilarious.  And you're hilarious.  Even though I saw everything coming a mile away, when I got there it was 10 times more amazing than it looked like from that original distance.

Ahem.  Now that I've completely ruined any semblance of composure I once had, I shall excuse myself quietly.



Author's Response:

Wow!  I've reduced you to "gah!"  I think I can retire now. ;)

This was a fun little side trip and the only time I've written a fic without Jim and Pam (save for the itty bitty reference of Pam by Kelly).  It's really not easy for me but I enjoy the challenge.

So, so glad you liked it.  :) Thanks again!

This is really out of the blue, but really hot.  I'd like to know a little more what's going through their heads as this starts and progresses, rather than just what they're wishing for, but I figure it's not really the point of this short stand-alone.  I guess maybe that's what I'm wishing for.
