Pam, rain, traffic lights, and the airport. Post Casino Night.This was just perfect. I loved the rain, I loved Pam's uncertainty, I loved the "okay"'s at the end. I loved it all.
This is so amazing. I was pretty much sobbing by the time I got to the end of this chapter. This is so well done.
Aww, how adorable! This was an awesome story, especially for your first fanfic! I can totally see a day like this happening in the Office Universe if/when Jim and Pam have a child. I love how you made little Sydney a perfect mix between her mother and father. I really hope you do continue this!
61 A series of Season 5 episode related stories.
WOW! This was a wonderful update. Perfect mix of sexy, loving, adorable, and any other adjective I can't think of right now to describe Jim and Pam's current relationship. I especially loved how you addressed the whole "are we boring?" issue, and I think most would agree that the long-lasting - albeit not necessarily spontaneous - love Jim and Pam have is far better than anything else. Loved this!
I really enjoyed this! Especially liked how you referenced Jim's Phyllis' Wedding dance banter, except now in a whole new, better context. Very cool!
Author's Response: thanks. I\'m glad you enjoyed it =]
Really, really beautiful. I hope you do more of writing whatever comes to you because this just left me completely awestruck!
Oh my goodness this is lovely! What a fantastic idea and what awesome chapters so far! I am absolutely in love with this CD, so I was very excited when I saw you were writing a fic based on it! I really do love every bit of this fic so far, can't wait for more.
Selfishly, I would love to see you do a chapter with the song "Here We Go Again" by Ray and Nora Jones. It's a really beautiful song as I'm sure you know and it fits Jim extremely well. Anyway, love the fic and can't wait for updates!
Author's Response: *blushes* Thank you so much, nandance, for such an awesome review! I love this CD and this couple so it makes sense to combine the two, you know? Funny you should mention "Here We Go Again" (which I also love). I thought about using it for Jim but couldn't decide on the season so I didn't. Also, part laziness :D Thank you once again!
Season two angst? Yes, please! A retake on "Boys and Girls" from season two, had no cameras been present. So, spoilers for that, obviously.WOW. I should have been reviewing this story all along but I completely forgot. Can I just say...wow?! This is so amazing, so beautiful, so perfectly constructed that I almost don't want to read the chapters all at once, I feel like I should be savoring them -reading a couple sentences and taking a break to let them sit for a while. This is one of my all-time favorite stories already, and I'm not kidding. Can't wait to see where this goes
Set between S2 and S3 - fallout from Casino Night.Wow this was absolutely beautiful! So intense and so heartbreaking, but beautiful nonetheless. I really loved it, which I usually don't with fics with this much angst, but you really captured it all perfectly, I think. Is it too much to hope for a sequel? Where fluff ensues? :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, despite the angst levels! I may well write some fluff in the future, but for now I'm all about the angst! ;)
A snowstorm hits Scranton in February 2010. Someone had to go there, so I did.This is awesome! Especially under the current circumstances... And hey maybe it's cliche, but it's a cliche for a reason right?! I mean, don't try to tell me that right now SOMEWHERE in the northeast SOMEONE isn't going into labor? Anyway, I love this and can't wait to see where it goes.
Also, this line: "They caught the local TV news and the weatherman was absolutely possessed with excitement." - - -genius! Perfect way to describe the weathermen all over the US right now. Hell, I live in Texas and my weatherman is doing the same thing over the possibility of 2 inches of snow :)
Author's Response: Weathermen live for this kind of thing. My hubby is in Texas right now, so he can attest to the truth of your out of control weathermen. One inch? Really? lol Thanks a bunch, and I'm glad you like this.
Wow. I am so unbelievably excited to see where this goes. This second chapter was just delicious, especially Awkward!Pam. Can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: Thank you, nandance. :) More coming soon.
Yayyy I am so thrilled to see this updated! And what an update it was! I personally will read WHATEVER you write, steam or no steam, but I have to say I do love steam :) wink wink :)
Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thanks for the input! =)
Spectacular. This is just spectacular. Honestly, there were parts reading this where I felt my breath catch in my throat. I absolutely adore everything about how you've set this up - especially the tense moments before Pam starts to apologize -- you have made both Jim and Pam very believable and very realistic while also keeping us on our toes. Can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you very, very much. I'm so glad I'm doing this right. I love the angst, and it's so delicious and easy to work with in season 3, but I don't wanna overplay it, you know? So knowing I get those tense moments right is awesome. Thank you so much for reviewing! :D
Eeeeee still getting better! I totally loved everything about this chapter, especially this magnetic pull you created between Jim and Pam, especially with Karen there. Awesome, can't wait for more
Author's Response: Even though I love Karen and Jim Halpert was one of the luckiest guys ever to have her, there's no fighting the force between J&P. Thanks for your review!! :D
Dang. This was a punch in the gut. But a beautiful punch, if there's such thing :)
This was just so incredibly written that I'm kind of at a loss for words. Poor Jim, thank God we know how it all ended up! Anyway, I salute you. This was epic.
Author's Response: Wow nandance, I'm flattered. I was only able to go here because I know it all turned out okay for him. Thank you.
Oh my goodness. This completely gave me chills. I loved this, thank you also for ending the drought of fics lately! So truly beautiful. Oh, and that subtle bit at the end foreshadowing a possible proposal in the rain, maybe? Perfection.
This story is already giving me butterflies - I love it so much! I know there are a million first date fics out there but this one seems original in so many ways - the writing not the least among them. I love your style! I, for one, would love for you to continue!
Yay! I was so excited to see you'd continued with this story. And what a continuation it was! I loved it loved it loved it! Everything from the kiss, to Pam admitting her fear to Jim, to the little details like the olives and the cute and yet completely spot-on idea of the turtle's sleeping arrangements as a metaphor for Karen and Pam's different views of Jim. I can't wait for more!!
Oh P.S. I downloaded "on a night like this" and I'm completely obsessed! I also play it each time I read this story :)
I'm sorry to see your reviews have dropped off :( I am certain, however, that it is not a reflection on your story because I just re-read all your old chapters and then your new one and I am still COMPLETELY hooked. You write so beautifully and inspiringly, I am really amazed. Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words!
Lovely, just lovely. I loved the less is more approach to this fic - every single word felt charged and full to me, in the best way possible. I also adored the idea of the two of them road tripping with no destination in sight; what a perfect idea, especially to happen right after the explosive Casino Night declaration of love. This was really, really great!
This is an awesome premise!! Can't wait to see where it goes!
Author's Response: Thanks! more on the way soon, nandance. Thank you.
THIS. WAS. AWESOME!!! Haha wow. Perfect mix of sexy/cute/funny/realistic and I loved every sentence. This is exactly how I hope it happened, oh and I love that you mixed unseen footage with stuff the camera caught - really made it easy to follow the linear path of the story. Great job!
