I just love all the vignettes in this piece. You paint so detailed a picture in very few words. That is a real skill!

goodness, I love this:
"He isn't a toy.
He is a real boy (who just wants to be her man)."
I'm soooo copying//pasting into my away messages (:

Guh. Does that tell you anything?
Btu seriously, I thought what made Casino Night such a turning point, (or the reason S2 Jim!Angst was easier to take than S3 Pam!Angst, was that in S2, they still pretended there wasn't anything between them. But Jim 'broke the rules' when he told Pam how he really felt, and S3 was so hard to take because both their hearts were out there on the table. Ouch.
Nicely put, carbondalien.
Author's Response: Exaaaaactly!
I'm glad you liked this one. :)

You sure do a lot with not many words! I love this one too! Such great metaphors you've woven here with the toys on the shelves.
For some reason, I found the passages where you call Jim a "boy" particularly affecting:
He's never sure of all the rules in this game, but he thinks he might be able to win it someday if he's a very lucky boy.
He is a real boy (who just wants to be her man).
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. :) Something within me is always like "This is going to be an epic! 10,000 words, I betcha!" then it just kind of starts writing itself and thankfully another part of me weeds out what doesn't need to be there. I'd rather play with language in a short piece than agonize over something super crazy long. Calling Jim a 'boy' is one of those things that just happened on its own and I liked the tone of it for this.

I started to copy parts I liked and there were too many of them to put in this little space.
Love this, just love it. Please keep writing.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. :) More will of course be on the way!

So diggin' this fic, carbondalien, and my love of Dorothy Parker is growing, too.
...but it's in these unguarded "nothing" moments where "everything" starts to take shape. Oh how true. Love how this poem inspired the game analogies you use here.
He is a real boy (who just wants to be her man). *sigh* That just breaks my heart. I'm sappy that way ; )
Excellent job as always.
Author's Response: Thank you. :) It actually started off as a fluffy idea and then it started writing itself and this happened. Maybe I'm channeling Dorothy haha.
