Summary: This started out as a one-shot called "Just." I decided to make it a series of surprises instead. Chapter 3: A dozen revelations that Jim doesn’t have, and one that Pam does.

I love the focus on the trash, and how Pam's (smaller trash) covers Karen's but gets covered by Jim. What a great analogy! Also, the element of bringing the teapot (JIMPOT!Love!) and the note back. i love how he gets angry at her for reading it. Very justifiable!

A shockingly accurate post-cocktails fic written during the hainous. Jim rebuffs Pam's apologies and while distraught at the grocery store she meets a handsome stranger who catches Karen's eye too.
EPILOGUE ADDED :) STORY FINISHED! I had to change it to Explicit Sexual Content so avoid the epilogue if that isn't really your thing.

Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.

Jim's first barbeque was a success and so he decides to have another. Someone breaks into the liquor cabinet and things... take interesting turns.
Jim/Pam smut with a pretty hefty (for me) plot, but LOTS OF DRINKING! Which is always fun.

What if Pam had been much stronger - bolder - throughout season three? AU because I'm not following much of the S3 storyline, but that's when this is basically taking place. Some spoilers (S3).

Summary: This picks up at "Money" and is my take on the seeming epiphany that Jim had while in the stairwell with Dwight, leading to him kissing Pam in front of the entire office. Includes flashbacks to "Conflict Resolution" and "The Job."

YOU CAME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were missed, greatly!
I've been hoping someone would take the cue from Money and write something so (beautifully) angst-y - Thank you for taking the time to fill in the gaps - you have such an excellent handle on the characters' voices & situations that it's really difficult to not think it canon!
I can't wait to read where you take this story. Thank you, again!
Author's Response:
Oh wow -- thank you! :o) Believe me, I missed writing; I had such a great time writing Climbing As We Fall that I was sad to see it end. But when this episode aired, I just knew immediately I'd have to write about it, try to figure out what was going on in Jim's head -- because it seemed like such a major moment for him.
So glad you enjoyed it, and I really appreciate your review!

Did you hear that? That was the sound of all pretenses of work halting because a new chapter went up on Nearing the Edge!
Your imagery is astounding. Thank you for continuing to torture our poor little Pam and Jim. You always make it well worth the payoff in the end!
Author's Response:
Listen, sister, don't talk to me about work screeching to a halt -- I've got a honking huge stack of essays to grade, yet here I sit... :o)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter -- and you'll perhaps be happy to know that there's more torture to come...at least for a little while. :o)

YES!
I love the way you write Roy/Jim dialogue. Also, the running commentary courtesy of Jim is ACES.
Thank you for reminding us that Jim is sullen and dejected - it seems like we always see him so happy-go-lucky that it's easy to mentally picture a happy Jim instead of the tortured one you present us with (which, of course, this story wouldn't work without!) It's a nice way to remind your readers to shift gears, and much appreciated!
Again, Thank You for the POV you bring to the fandom. It is truly a richer place due to your efforts.
Author's Response:
Wow, what a thoughtful review -- seriously. I'm really glad you like the depiction of Jim here, because really, I think he'd have been absolutely miserable if he'd had to continue working with Pam post-confession. (Not that he wasn't miserable in Stamford, but....) And I have to admit, I really had hoped we'd see a more tortured Jim at least at the beginning of last season. I understand why we didn't, though (as moping isn't exactly tantamount to comedy gold). :o)
As for the last bit of your review -- WOW. Thank you so much; that's just an incredible thing to read, seriously. Thanks again for the thoughtful review!

Mistress O' the Angst-
Your Pam is absolutely spot on. There's no way she would have been able to process everything and jump right into bed with Jim. Even if his forearms were exposed :).
It's absolutely true that couples who are together for so long can easily become oblivious to each other's (and their own) needs after a time. It can be very frightening when a new person comes along to shed some light on those needs. Knowing this makes it very easy to understand how Pam would freak, which makes this chapter seem way more canon than seems possible.
So Thanks, again, for making this as believable as you have, and also thanks to Starry Dreamer for twisting your story into steamy directions :)
More angst, please! :)
Author's Response:
Your salutation ("Mistress O'the Angst") made me laugh right out loud. :o) And your comments just made me smile so wide because I always second guess myself when I write Pam as freaking out or being over emotional. I do think she's a crier (we've seen that happen enough times on the show), but as for how she'd handle a sudden declaration & kiss from Jim...well, as you know, we weren't privvy to that post-CN.
I agree with what you said, though: When you're with someone for such a long time (much less planning a life together), it'd have to be jarring to suddenly have all that thrown into uncertainty. I don't think Pam would be capable of acting on her feelings for Jim in a real way (other than giving in to the attraction, then pushing him away); I think she'd need to sort of simmer for a while before she could make a move.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review!
Cordially,
Mistress O'the Angst. :O)

"He said he'd had a crush on Pam when he used to work there. Just a crush, he said, and it didn't even go anywhere. But Karen had lived through crushes before, and she knew that once they were over (like he claimed his was) – life goes on. You can joke about it, sometimes even with the object of your previous desire. But Jim didn't do that. He didn't like to talk about Pam, even in a joking manner."
This sentence blew me away. It's scuh amazing insight into this relationship.
I'm also really enjoying the way you've been using the JAM dynamic in these situations. As much as I love tortured/angst JAM, it's just as good when they are classically THEM.
Thank you for writing this!!!

Tylenol solves aching Grief bones, as well as alcohol, and a lot of it.
You took an episode that wasn't my favourite and put tears in my eyes. This is a really exquisite piece, and it looks like one of the best to come out of the finale.
Great job, and thank you very much for writing this out!!!
