She couldn't be sure exactly when he ceased to exist, but the first day she suspected something was the day after she canceled her wedding.
9 Cliffhanger!!! Ack! Sorry I've been bad at reviewing, but I'm really enjoying this story. It's deliciously different and I am truly enjoying the ride.
8 I don't like drugged up Pam - very sad! I can see how it would be hard to write this chapter, but it's necessary and you did a great job. Sigh, Roy - still making bad decisions even in a parallel/bizarro world.
9 I love that hot sex is the key to getting out of an alternative reality! Looking forward to the final chap.
9 Thanks for the wrap-up chapter. This was a very unique story - great job!
10 I just let out an audible sigh/hummm thing. This is so beautiful and stirring. WOW.
Author's Response: i know that sound! glad you liked it - i had such a blast writing this.
MEMBER'S CHOICE - Katy and Jim are still dating during Jim’s “Email Surveillance” BBQ. When Pam sees them together it lights a fire under her.9 Thanks for this last chapter! I'm glad they are steaming it up in all rooms and locales, and great job with the parallels to chapter 1!
Author's Response: Thanks Crystalized! Your review is most appreciated!
I decided I love every time someone writes about Jon, and he's become a real character on this site. So I kept thinking about writing JAM's growing relationship during the seasons through telephone conversations with Jon and Jim, and sometimes even his mom and his sister Lisa. Pam might even call once or twice...who knows. :P It's all dialogue BTW, since it's phone conversations. Interesting way to tell a story.
8 HA! I love it. I do think an essential MTT Jon issue is who you think he looks like, though, so please share!
"a little touched or something..." I literally laughed out loud at this and "You are the fisherman" HEE!
Pam moved to New York instead of starting work at Dunder Mifflin. Years later she returns and she meets Jim, but they're at very different points in their lives.Oh, the stuff with Megan makes me so sad :( But I do liek their growing friendship!
I just slow this slow-going blossoming romance. It is really lovely to read about. Great descriptive work!
Oh, JIM. I'm happy for him in a way, though. It means that he is letting himself move on. I love all the ways that they are casually domestic already.
I really love Jim and Pam's dynamic in this chapter. I also appreciate that some things were revealed but not nearly all, just a glimpse. Thanks for another great chap and I want to sock Sarah in the nose!
Oh dear...gutwrenching.
Oh, dear. Again.
“I told you, I can’t do both. Be in love with both of them. She’s making me fall in love with her.”
Killer line.
I am so glad to read another chapter of this story, and I'm really happy that Jim has reconciled with himself that he CAN move on.
It's too bad Kelly of all people was the one to tell Pam, but I'm glad she knows. She and Jim still need to have a serious, non-hallway convo, though.
This is such a lovely chapter. FINALLY, they are speaking again like mature folk! And Jim being all cute and paternal with Franny is just too perfect and well-written. Cannot WAIT for Jim opening up!
yay! so glad they boh opened up, and both of their stories are vey well crafted (the painting & seeing Megan at the school)
I am really glad to have your authors note, because damn. Pam, you're killing me!
I can't believe Pam said it first - YAY!
Oh, I have a bad feeling about this. I really thought Pam was going to say no...
Good chapter!
9 Lovely. I didn't think it was actually angsty at all, really. Glad they are talking about things and nice scene with the mom.
Author's Response: I\'m glad you didn\'t think it was pure angst. I saw it as necessary moments that needed to happen for both of them to move on.
10 Wow. That was unexpected but so cool!! I love that Franny is a part of the action now with a personality and everything!
“Can you ask Dwight tomorrow?” Hee hee!
9 This is just so, so lovely! Love it!!
10 All the Franny/Dwight interactions and fruit and rock shopping? Oh, it's made of awesome my friend - AWESOME.
9 That scene with Jim at the grave is SUPER powerful. Great job!
Jim and Pam are Jim and Pam, only...not really.Damn you random bar girl. Damn yooooou!!! Okay, now that I've got that out of my system - yay new chapter! I love how giddy Jim is in this.
"It reminds him of things." Hmm, like pre-sex first aid rituals perhaps??
"He thinks he could really use someone around who can look at him like that, like he’s somebody, like he’s real and he has genuine stuff inside of him."
Gorgeous. Beautiful. Awesome.
