Not just smut, but girl7 smut which is some of the prettiest smut of all the smut. ;)

Where to start?  So much to take in. Oh yeah, that was looooooong. (TWSS)

Just wonderful as usual.  Such sweetness, pitch perfect bantering (how I love the bantering) the joking and the tickling (guh!) the tears (sometimes mine!). Snow Patrol, for fuck's sake!  You're killing me with Snow Patrol, but in a good way.

There was a lot of kissing, and that makes us very happy. (That would be me and Smiley!Jim icon)

Wait! Halpert-Beesley-palooza?

Better. Than. Pancakes.

Hee - glad you liked the smut!  Hands down, I had the most fun writing the "rules" chapters -- so much fun.  I'm really glad you liked all the kissing -- and of course, I totally aim to please Smiley!JIm icon.  (I swear to god, I get a big old grin just thinking about it, hee.)

Thanks for reviewing!

30 chapters and I still don't want it to end!  Sexy text messaging and phone sex are the best thing to hit fanfic since the first date. :-)

This is such a great story, and I'm going to be very sad when it's all over.  Great job, Moxie!

Even though we know how things end up at the end of this season, this is still damn painful.  In a good way. :-)

Okay, this kills me:
"What song would I pick...for your wedding?"

Ouchies. The way you have written Jim in this is just guh.  So amazing.  I'm not sure if you meant for him to come across this way, but throughout this there is an undercurrent of anger that just rings so fucking true.  I love it.  He's not just heartbroken, he's pissed and he has every right to be. That's a big wall he's building around himself -- it helps to know that by the end of the season that it's coming down.  Yay.

I love this series.  But, more kissing please. Not for me, mind you. It makes Smiley!Jim icon happy. ;-) 


Author's Response:

First of all - I'm still giggling over the fact that your Smiley!Jim icon wants more kissing!  OMG.  Okay.... Thanks so much for leaving such specific comments -- and yeah, I was absolutely going for a kind of sublimated anger beneath the surface there.  I think that Casino Night left him totally devastated, but I do think that prior to it (the confession/kiss), he probably really was finding himself getting more and more frustrated.  And really, I don't begrudge him that - I think he knew that she knew (trying to avoid a Friends moment here, LOL) that he really was struggling with his feelings, and she ultimately just wanted him to keep quiet, sort of maintain things the way they'd always been.

Damn, I could analyze these characters for hours and hours and hours, LOL.

Thanks again for reviewing -- and I promise, there will be more kissing!  (Hint: I tend to write angsty Pam as prone to smacking one on Jim; also - if you read the first series of this, you know that I love writing drunk!Pam kissing Jim as well...pushes the bounds of reality, yes, but it's damned fun to write!  So there'll be some drunken flashbacks, probably, as this goes along.)

Thanks again!

Yeah, I'm gonna need a bigger box of kleenex. *cries*  Oh, girl7 how do you make me feel this?  You just get right down in that sticky swamp with Jim until we're all just pruney from the angst.

I hate you. [/pam]

I love this story. What a beauty conclusion.  I don't want to say "ending" because I sincerely hope this will not be the last we hear from the legendary "Squirrel McPants."   

 I'm gonna read it all over again from the beginning!  :-)  Yay for Moxie!  

Happy JAM fluffy goodness.  

I will never get tired of reading how crazy in love they are.  Now if the show can just catch up, I'll be very happy, indeed.   

Yes, this makes my stomach hurt just as much as watching the show, so how's that for a recommendation? :-)  Seriously though, this reads so true to the show and that is scary and makes me kinda sad, but in a good way, if that makes any sense.  It's late (early?) so I might not be making sense. Bottom line: I agree with Jen74.  I really like Karen, but please make her go away.  (I said please...)  That goes for you too,  Greg Daniels. :-P


Author's Response:

I'm really glad it's true to the show; that's exactly what I was going for.  Obviously, I don't think we'll be privy to as much stuff there as here, but I think I could buy it if it went this way.  Fingers crossed. :o)

And your wish will soon be granted, BTW - at least, I'll do my part.  I don't know what the hell GD will do, but it had better be good!  :o)

Thanks for reviewing! 

Guh.  The roof is just love.  Damn.  No. I'm wrong.  This is love:

When she ducked her head slightly, one hand swiping her bangs and tucking them behind her ear, the familiarity of the gesture made him realize that in that moment, everything he wanted was right here. That maybe he'd be a fool if he ran away from it again.

This is just gorgeous, and I want this on my teevee tomorrow night.

Reading, reading...
Okay, ouch, ouch, ouch... and then PAM!

"...then I’ll regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday and for the rest of my life.”

OMG - Casablanca!  

You win. Please, lovegods, please let this be how the finale ends...

Two thumbs, way up! 

Agreed.  Best first date, ever.

"...I was pretending to be this...relatively happy, normal guy who...you know, wasn't in love with you."

And here girl7 sums up Jim Halpert's story arc for S3.  So awesome.

Jonathan, I love you.  Greg Daniels, please, please cast Jonathan. He is my favorite fan wank ever.

I love how Jonathan just knows Jim, okay? Jim can hide from Karen, but he can't hide from Jonathan.  

And then you had to bring up Booze Cruise.  *sigh*  Yeah.  This part made me kinda sniffly.

"Oh...." It was more a breath than a word as she struggled to shake off that image, unable to believe - even after all that had happened over the course of the evening - that it was really in the past now. That it was a prelude to all they would eventually become, as opposed to a relic of regret for all they would never be."

Just Beautiful.  Let's hear it for good times ahead.  This was a wonderful story girl7, thank you.

And the kissing was very nice. *hugs Smiley!Jim icon*

Hey! Where's my smooching?!  LOL Okay, okay, you have a vision and you have to honor that, but I need me some smooching! ;-)  I know the wait is going to be so worth it!  ::bounce-bounce::

This is such a great story.  So playful, and nervous and then direct and honest.  I really hope the writers don't gloss over this important period of Jim and Pam reacquainting themselves with each other.  

Love this part the very mostest:

"...Wow." All he could do was sit there and stare over at her, suddenly dying to lean over and just kiss the hell out of her, but he didn't dare. Instead he sat there caught in a daze, unable to pull his eyes from hers.

That "wow" is so damn swoon-worthy.   And then, (oh, god yes!) the kissing! Yes, please do dare to kiss the hell out of her because some of us (okay, me!) are dying for you to!  

Let the healing (and the smooching) commence!  ::bounce-bounce::


Author's Response:

You're cracking me up with the ::bounce bounce:: -- hee!  I promise, I will give you mucho kissing in due time.  Patience, my pet....LOL!

Thanks for such a thoughtful and specific review...and for your marvelous icon at the treehouse.  :oD

Oh-my-god-kiss-him-already! Er, sorry. I think I'm getting a little too excited here. :)  ::bounce-bounce::

This line is made of awesome: "Absolutely I do."  Guh.  

Welcome back from vacation!


Author's Response:

Eeee!  Glad you're getting caught up in it - and a kiss will happen, I promise!  :o)

Thanks for reviewing - and it is sooooo good to be back!

::blinks::  That. Was.  Awesome.  It's gonna be months before my eyebrows grow back in, but still... awesome.  

That's quite a gift you have.
