HAND HOLDING FTW :)
Author's Response: Yeah, and I actually wrote this before the FR hand holding scene....who knew, lol? Thanks again!

I knew what Indian Summer is! So yay for that!
Pam watching Jim sleep is either creepy or cute. Haven't decided yet.
But the handholding. All sorts of adorable (although, embarrasing Emily story time. Okay, so no problem that I am single and haven't slept with anyone. That part isn't embarrasing. Actually, this part isn't either, unless you actually don't care to know really stupid random facts about me. But anyways, one of the things that makes me think I would be better single is because me, sharing a bed. I couldn't do it. Makes me feel gross. And plus, I get violent when I sleep apparently. Kicking and such. Okay. So Really, now my 'embarrasing' story is the longer than the review. And my review is nearly longer than the chapter. Really, I type to much)
Author's Response: Nope, not creepy. (Lord knows if he were in by bed, I'd watch him too. ;-) Interesting about your sleep worries..I don't know, Emily, but I kind of think if it were the right guy, you'd get over it real quick, lol. Thanks for weighing in!

I love the intimate romance of Pam watching Jim sleep. I love that they can finally touch and hold hands and not everything has to be careful and controlled. :)
Author's Response: There's something so intimate about them sleeping together (just sleeping, lol) isn't there? And I wrote the line about them walking down the street holding hands BEFORE Fun Run, so you can imagine how happy I was to see that actually happen. Who knew? And I agree - they'd be so relieved simply to be able to touch. Thanks again, heartcarved!

Sigh. Enough to bring happy tears to my eyes. While we'll obviously not see moments like THIS on the show this season (or WILL we....?!), I really hope the writers communicate the sense of wonder the two of them will inevitably feel at finally being able to enjoy the simple things that the rest of us tend to take for granted; I think it might just make the agony of season 3 worth it....
Excellent work, as always, my friend!
Author's Response: Aw, don't cry. And yes, I think just holding hands would be a revelation - though, as you say, on the show they probably won't be horizontal. Thanks, as always, my friend!

As you know, I'm a big fan of short, clean prose. You've got it here, and it is lovely.
Author's Response: I'm with you - it seems like the more I write, the more reductive I get; even in longer pieces, I'm always looking for the right word/phrase to do the job of three. You're always so good at that, so happy that you liked this! Thanks again!

Even unconscious, he always makes sure that at least one part of him is touching one part of her.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Colette, this is so sweet. So much love in so few words. I love this.
Author's Response: Hee. Sometimes when it comes to describing love, the fewer words the better ;-) Thanks again!

Colette, I love this vignette. It's very real - the freedom to intimately connect or establish contact, consciously or otherwise. I happen to be writing a piece about fall/Indian summer too so I love it when I see someone else recognize it in fic.
Author's Response: Yeah, that freedom to touch is almost a luxury, isn't it? Your fic sounds interesting...always liked the idea/metaphor of an Indian summer (in fact, I used it once before here in an older fic called Okay.) Thanks, Sibilate, glad you enjoyed.

::sigh:: I love everything about that one. There's something breathtakingly romantic about the thought of them being cuddly together....especially in this sort of unconscious way. LOVE THIS.
Author's Response: See, for me, the most romantic stuff with these two is the smallest - honestly, I don't need to see them on fancy dates with flowers and violins - all they have to do is hold hands (they don't even have to be awake, for chrissakes) and I'm there. Glad you agree, LoveFool.

Not short. Concentrated.
Because she can.
Oh, this is making me even more giddy for S4. HAND HOLDING, I TELL YOU!!!
Author's Response: Concentrated...I like that ;-) Seriously, is there anything simpler and more intimate than hand holding? And damn right she can! Thanks, lisahoo...always tickled when you like a story.

This might have been short - but it's my favorite of the three. This is not to say shared showers don't have their appeal - because c'mon...but this was just so incredibly sweet.
There is something to be said for hand holding.
Happy birthday to ME! Thank you, thank you thank you!! Btw - you can throw away the receipt. I won't be returning my gift. :)
Author's Response: Had an inkling that would be your fave...and I think my position on hand holding is abundantly clear, LOL. Thrilled you liked these...might be the gift that keeps on giving - I just need to stop being so damn distracted all the time and finish the others. Happy, happy, my dear (and of course, thanks much!)
