Sometimes Jim hears about how people do crazy things when they've got nothing left to lose, but he's never been that kind of person.
Set during Conflict Resolution.
Aw, this was awesome. You really captured Jim's inner turmoil, his need to be near Pam and him figuring out that that need is not so healthy. And the Jim/Dwight stuff was great.
Aw, so pretty. I love the imagery.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
Oh, very, very nice. And you definitely had me fooled before that ending!
Part of my AU fiction and companion to The First Date. Jim and Pam go bowling! Gets a wee bit angsty but wraps up nice and fluffy at the end...enjoy!!!
Aw, this was sweet, even with the angst. The angst was well-handled, very realistic and nicely-recovered-from. And I was grinning from ear to ear at the cuteness before Roy showed up!
Series about the aftermath of Casino Night and the developments of Season 3. Episode related from alternating points of view. Excuse the stream of consciousness... Spoilers through most recent episode.
Oh, that was lovely. I love the distinction between Pam the girl and Pam the woman, and the obvious difficulty she has in accepting that she isn't the girl anymore.
Oh, so sweet! I love Pam's persistance in this, not letting him get away.
Heh. A cute look at the start of this relationship and how Angela would ever accept being called "Monkey" -- though we all know she genuinely likes it as a nickname by now ;) She's not fooling anyone!
Author's Response: Exactly! I mean how does she act so prim and proper and end up tangled with Dwight at a party? I love the conundrum that is Angela. Thanks for reviewing Semby!
This is very fun and often sweet :) Keep it up!
Aw, that was a really sweet, pretty chapter.
Oh, great stuff! You did an awesome job of giving believable depth to characters that we don't normally see in that way - Dwight, with the origin of his deep respect for authority, and Mike the cameraman with his family background and personal connections with Jim and Pam... nice job!
And the Pam/Kelly/Meredith scene was very fun :)
Okay, the cute awkwardness of Jim and Pam was kind of wiped from my mind by the icky thought of Dwight in a speedo on Michael's shoulders. Now I think I need to bleach my brain. But that was very funny!
:D The bikini chapter did NOT disappoint, at all. I love how you had all of Jim, Ryan and Toby's stuttering reactions. Awesome! And Kelly a little jealous but still excited for her.
As a side note, and I'm cringing at how "Angela" I probably sound saying this, but I really don't think it's cool, at all, to slip alcohol to someone who chooses not to drink for moral reasons, and that made me really disappointed in Pam and Kelly. But this is fiction and I should probably lighten up. ;)
God, I hope I don't start picturing Chinfaces! Anyway, this was a super-fun chapter up until the end, which was sobering. I think we all needed that reminder that things can't go so easily for these two! But I have faith. They will absolutely find a way to prevail!
Oh, that was nice. I could just feel the heat and tension leading up to that smoking kiss. And the ending's cute :)
Valentine's Day comes and goes at Dunder Mifflin. Pam is conflicted. Spoilers up to The Return.
Awww! I love how she's gradually getting braver and braver, closer and closer, and his response was perfectly casual but encouraging. And the last line was awesome.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I feel like the gradual approach was very in-character for her.
9 “To Toby. He's not a part of our family,” and here Michael looks around the room, “but he's a really close family friend.”
Awwww! This was practically perfect in every way. What I'm sure is a completely accurate picture of Toby's sad life made this little sweet extension of friendship from the office mates so much sweeter.
Pam's little evil voice has big plans. They involve Jim, the dress from Casino Night, and... not much more.
Eee! That was very, very brave of FNB, and I love the results! The whol thing is very cute and witty. This line randomly made me laugh a lot:
“Hey,” she said. It was a good opener. He always responded well to it.
Cute!
5 Five Things, One Shot.
8 HAHA! Creepiest song choice ever! Go Pam! I love how her crazy is filled with just these little random moments that Jim can rationalize into meaning nothing individually, but when you add them all up... it sneaks up on you!
“I need to move on with my life. And, if it’s okay with you, this is where I’d like to start.”
Aw. And that, I believe, is the perfect way of summing up why he's going through all this for her.
This was wonderful!
Written in response to the Evening Coming (aka the Scarf) challenge. Not usually one for prompts, but this one got me thinking.
Oh, that whole piece was just lovely. And Pam's non sequitur was perfectly placed.
Author's Response: That's clever - a well placed non-sequitur! Thanks, Semby, glad it worked for you!
Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
MEAN! I was confused from the start, but it was the Kelly and Ryan part that made me go "wait a minute..."
Oh, my goodness, the craziness. If I was that waitress, I'd be convinced it was a setup for reality TV too! And, hee/aw to the Jim/Pam conversation, and how they're obviously talking about completely different things. Pam should have realized what he'd assume!
Author's Response:
I'm always surprised that people don't think they're on a reality TV show when they see all the cameras trailing...
I think Pam did realize it but just doesn't want to admit it.
Oh, my God, Jim rallying the men for revenge is the BEST TWIST EVER! This is going to be very fun, I can tell.
And, hmm, why do I feel like Pam's little thing she wanted to talk to Jim about in front of Karen was just a play to stop Karen from being suspicious about a REAL "little thing" she wants to talk to Jim about later?

Why Semby you do have a suspicious little mind. I like that in a person. ;)
Jan gags Michael. Jan... gags... Michael! OMG, that is the absolute best. And all the other horndogs were quite entertaining as well... poor Pam.
Oh, this is super fun and I love how even through the adorable sillyness, the plot is building
Pam and Phyllis both have pretty clever ways of pulling off these dares!
