"the thought of pouring that sort of effort into anything non-Pam-related was exhausting, and the thought of it being Pam-related made him just want to drown his sorrows" is a great description of post-Casino Night Jim's hopelessness.
This Roy is just awful. The fact that he's so chatty with Jim is bad enough. The fact that all he can do is whine about Pam is worse. The fact that he asks Jim the same question Pam LITERALLY just answered about HER DECISION is freakin' enraging. Kick him to the curb, Pam.
I love that this fic references Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin and Futurama all in turn.
Author's Response: Making Roy awful (or visibly awful at least) is one of my life missions on this site, I guess. Thanks for catching my nerddoms!

"Eh, same old." God, I love that line.
I just... Roy needs to be punched, okay? I want so badly for someone to punch him because he's just such a jerk and he's awful and his entire diatribe against being woken up early makes me hate him so much more.
The idea of Stars as bachelor party entertainment nearly caused me to choke on my diet coke, so well done there, Comfect. Ugh, Jim's already planning the wedding - he can't handle this too! Talk about a glutton for punishment.
Pam! Not gonna lie, I sat up a little bit straighter at her entrance. And she called him Lieutenant and we all swooned a little bit. You're good.
And now he's waiting and leaning and I'm waiting and sitting, and let's hope none of us have to wait too much longer!
Author's Response: Thank you! Please take your violence against Roy desires and get in line (as this appears to be my big Roy move, making him an utter ass). I hope you enjoy our big finish!

My goodness that Roy is really something isn’t he? Poor jim sitting there listening to that and knowing she chose that guy over him, how depressing... one/two word replies felt spot on.
Pams entrance actually surprised me in such a great way! Definitely looking forward to what comes next!
Author's Response: Yeah. I don't know quite why I made this AU's Roy such an ass but it's a lot of fun to write.

Yesssssss, Comfect. This chapter is so good! I love seeing badass Pam like this. I love Roy being clueless about not only what is going on around him but also who he’s venting to. I love the mental picture of Lt Jim leaning against the wall outside
the Almanac, all brooding and sexy in his uniform (sorry, not sorry). Idk that I love that there are only one or two chapters left! 😭
Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate all of this, and I hope the last few chapters make it ending worthwhile (if that makes sense).

First and foremost, great job with working in Omicron Perseii VIII. Made for a great lighthearted moment in kind of a heavy chapter.
Again keeping Roy in Roy form. Completely oblivious to anything that's anywhere near what Pam actually wants or needs. He's so caught up in own selfishness that he can't see how great Pam is.
I think Jim played that probably as best as he could. He's doing his best to not engage Roy so the short answers are very in keeping with his line of thought right now.
Pam's entrance was great. You can tell she's made up her mind about something big here. I get the image that she's very much ready to be done with Roy and it's time to let him know his boorish ways won't cut it anymore. Not only that, but she's also an officer on the ship and that position is due a certain amount of respect that Roy is obliged to offer. I really liked her little whispered comment was great too.
If I had anymore jelly beans to offer this chapter would get one for sure. Great job.
Author's Response: Thank you! I try to drop at least one joke like that per heavy chapter for just that reason so I'm glad it landed. I hope you like the follow up!

Author's Response: :-D. I'm glad you liked it!
