"Pam," he says. "I'm-- it's not just a crush, Pam, and I'm not over it and. I didn't want you to leave without telling you." Oh, wow. He kisses her, she kisses him, then the confession. I really like where this is going.

My regret of the day is that it's taken me so long to discover this story! I'm enjoying it so much. You're really tackled the AU frontier with style and creativity, and I'm loving every bit of this. You also write Roy really well, which I always appreciate in a story; so many folks are tempted to make him a 2-dimensional jerk, but you've given him the kind of depth that helps us understand why they were together in the first place.
This scene on the roof was powerful and perfect. I can't wait to click "next" so I can read the next chapter! --CH
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad to hear you're liking it. :) And yeah, I think the whole situation is so much more realistic and interesting (and sad) if he's not an evil guy, he's just the *wrong* guy.

Awwww, just the idea of the branch actually closing and them all going their separate ways is hurting my heart more than the angsty Jim/Pam stuff! I swear, if the series finale is anything like this, I will be bawling the whole time. But this is an interesting chapter ending - so much unresolved and yet I have no idea what could happen from here!
Author's Response: Oh, man, I KNOW, right? I'm glad someone else finds that idea kind of devastating (but also totally likely to be how the show ends).

You're going to make me cry! This also makes me think about how pissed Pam must have been/will be when she found out that Jim already had Stamford lined up before he told her that he loved her. The bastard :) Your description of the rooftop was very evocative...I could really see that happening.
Author's Response:
Haha, yeah, boy likes his exit strategies. Hopefully something big like everyone getting fired would let him be that little bit braver.
Thanks!

Wow. The scene on the roof was intense. And totally real -- you really nailed Jim's mannerisms there. And I loved how Pam turned around and kissed him again because I could just see that happening, like she couldn't help herself; she's just drawn to him and now that that's happened it's all different and it's all changed and she can't just pretend anymore, because she knows now, and ahhhh.
What's going to happen to everyone?? Oh my God, I hate you. I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Especially for saying I got his mannerisms down -- I think this show in particular is hard to write for because the actors bring so much to the characters; so, yay. :)

I'm going to quietly spaz here because, um, YES. I've been grumpy at the sudden influx of sappy Jim/Pam since The Job and, uh, this made everything better because what can I say -- I'm a masochist. This is totally why it hurts so good and I've missed your Jim/Pam and uggggggh. S2 Jim and Pam!!!! <3!
Author's Response: Whee, thank you! This made my day. :)

Oh! Guh. Have I reviewed this masterpiece yet? Well, if not, let me say, it's absolutely wonderful. And this chapter? Whammo, like a punch to the solar plexus, in the best possible way. What I'm trying to say is this: this chapter? She packs an emotional wallop. Wow. I'm a little dazed.
Author's Response: Oh, wow, thanks! Very happy you're enjoying.

Ooooh. This left me feeling all flushy and breathless, like Casino Night. ANd then this:
It's just that, um. I don't care. I mean, I don't care about all that, if you're around. Because you're around."
It's just like what Pam said about not caring about the reasons to leave Roy until she met Jim. This is SO GOOD. It all could have happened this way instead, right? It really could have. That's what you've conjured up- an alternative reality that is nearly as real as what we got. Fantastic.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! I'm thrilled you're finding it believable.

My heart was in my throat during the roof scene. So powerful. You just about killed me. But in a good way.

So sad! Can I tell you that that's how I think the show will end? Dunder Mifflin (either Scranton or the whole company) will shut down and I don't think I can handle that. Between the Jim and Pam stuff on the roof and them leaving forever...it just sucks! But in the best way possible....does that make sense?
Author's Response:
Yeah, I can totally see the show ending that way, too! Great minds...
Glad you liked!

Wow. This was so awesome. I loved the Jam scene on the roof, and how it was so much like Casino Night. I thought it was great that Pam kissed him again though! I can't wait to see what happens with Pam and Jim and Roy, although, it'll be sad not to have anyone else in the office around anymore. Unless, you're planning on following up on everyone else too.
Author's Response: Thanks much! And yeah, the idea of the office closing down for real totally bums me out.

Wow, this is so beautiful and painful at the same time. It could almost be a cheek kiss that missed. Almost sadder than GWH. Almost.

Wow. My favorite: Then her brain catches up and she thinks, I should stop, I should stop, stop stop, but she's already here so just one more second--" I'm tellin' ya, that's how babies are made! Which reminds me about the Warning Labels fic that hasn't been updated in over a month :-(
But anyway, this is great. I love the pacing even though it's painful to wait for the next update. Are you really going to update daily until it's done? Do you promise?
Author's Response:
Haha, yeah -- it's being worked on!
And heh, I'm gonna do my best, I guess!
