Probably not a good idea to read this at work, as I will now be incoherent for a few hours.  I love the visual of Jim loosening that tie and unbuttoning his top two buttons.....uh, yeah.  Like it a lot.  Really wonderful work.



Author's Response: Naughty bitterpill! <33 Glad you enjoyed it, though. ;)

I love Brave Pam and her saying just what she wants to say.  And the picnic and the fight and THEM.  So beautiful and filled with such genuine emotion.  This was so perfect from start to finish. 

Author's Response: Thank you for such a kind review, bitterpill! I'm so thrilled that you liked it and that you felt it was genuine. It was something I wanted so much to convey. Thank you for reading!

Wonderful mix of angst and tentative first date.  It's funny how I can handle the angst so much more now that I know the outcome:) You have a real gift for getting into the heads of these two crazy kids.  So looking forward to more.

Author's Response:

It is funny about the angst, isn't it?  But that's one thing I was counting on -- because when I posted the original version of the Conflict Resolution chapter (which is every bit as angsty as this one), it was a few weeks before the season 3 premiere -- so, eeee.  :o) 

Thanks so much for your kind words, and for reviewing!

Gorgeous writing that makes me feel like I'm right there in these scenes.  Love the sweet, intimate moments that you've shown, but that last paragraph worked especially well, too.  Love the idea of Jim thinking he has to hold back and Pam easing his mind.  Just lovely.

Jim's hair and basketball?  Yeah, count me in.  Love a distracted, hormonal Jim that can still play hard when it counts:)  Looking forward to the journey you are taking us on with this.

Author's Response: You know, I only noticed that I'd written 'played hard' after the fact. Wondered if anyone would catch it ;-) And glad you share the love for Jim's hair and b-ball. Just a good combo, no? Thanks, bitterpill. 

Reviewer: bitterpill Signed
Date: December 15, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Another Haircut

Yes, yes and yes.  Although, personally, I liked his Big Haircut, you captured what I believe to be Jim's feelings about it.  It was all a game and he felt he owed it to Karen to play.  Oh, Jim.  Love this and have a feeling I will love the next chapter as well. 

Author's Response: Yup, as I told Lisa below, I liked the Big Cut too, but as you say, it just didn't jibe with what was going on underneath, inside that pretty noggin. The next chapter is almost done...but, I think I need to tone it down a little, to keep it in the 'T'-zone. (Those damn frisky kids, sheesh.) Thanks so much bitterpill - really appreciate the feedback.

Reviewer: bitterpill Signed
Date: December 17, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: Samson and Delia

Lucky for us you got this out of your system.  Wonderful ending to a wonderful story.  Love Jim taking a class, Pam being encouraging, Kelly being Kelly(absolutely love the idea of it taking her only twenty minutes to realize she would rather be pampered than provide the pampering....perfect!), and the ease with which they are together, being domestic.  Love this line: Maybe nothing was impossible.  Exactly:)



Author's Response: Have to say, writing Kelly is too much fun. I thought Jim just sticking his toes in the water, via a class, seemed right and maybe something Pam would inspire him to do (hey - didn't they once have a waterside chat about where his head was? I didn't even think of that while writing. Dang.) And glad you mentioned the 'nothing is impossible' line - I figured this ordinary 'domestic' scene with Pam would almost be like the impossible thing become real for Jim...his version of defying gravity, lol. So glad you liked this...many thanks as always, bitterpill.

I love this.  All of it.  Every word.  So much emotion and my heart breaks for each of them.  I really loved your look at Jim's trip to Australia.  I could see it being a total bust and him being...well, Jim.  He was so tortured and pushed to the edge by Pam's impending wedding.  Oh, the angst of it all.  So well done.  Looking forward to more.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much, bitterpill.  I'm working really hard to do this storyline justice, because even trying their best after Pam's breakup I think they would have had some seriously tough times to get through before they could be happy.  I don't want to just angst for angst's sake, but this is how I really could have seen it happening.  If this were, you know, real. :)  Thanks a lot for the review -- I hope you like the rest.
