Ah, some real insight/hints into why they broke up! I was wondering. Back to sad, but I'm still not losing hope...!

Oh, so sweet! I love his little, ‘Can I kiss you for a little bit?’ and them counting "I love you"s and their meanings.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Semby...really happy you enjoyed this.

Ha! Kevin's such a simple guy. I love that he asked everyone in the office, including Pam. That guy's got class!
Author's Response: I am just waiting for Kevin Malone to grace the cover of Aficionado Weekly, Fine Arts, and all those other high class magazines that Michael subscribes to. Scranton - reknowned universe of high class where Kevin's the epicenter. 10 bucks he uses Grey Poupon instead of that dayglo yellow mustard crap.

Ooh, I really like this. You've made her into a great character with a lot of personality, and it's a great voice to get that outsider's perspective on our Dunder Mifflinites. The part that really blew me away was her analysis of Karen, which is SO spot on and yet I'd never thought of it in that way before. Like she knows she’s special and she’s dying to prove it because she’s terrified you’ll think she’s not. - Brilliant!
Author's Response: Oh, Semby, I managed to miss your comment the first time through- I apologize! Thank you so much for the kind comment. I'm so glad that the personality I've imagined for Grace is coming through. Thanks again (and sorry for skipping!)

Author's Response: Thank you! I actually re-wrote that "Grace knows Pam" section twice, so it is very good to read that I chose the right version! I love Jim and think he's a good guy, so I wanted to show him trying to be considerate of Karen while still finally making his move on Pam. Thank you again for reading, and for being a supporter of Grace!

Jim's reaction upon realizing that Grace knows/talks to Pam was perfect, and I love that he came up with a way to get her to stall Pam in a way that still left her completely surprised when he turned up to ask her out. Also love that he made arrangements for Karen.
And the last line - wonderful! You left me sincerely hoping she gets her big break soon.

Summary: The cast gets their epilogues in this piece that further proves that I have lost my mind. Also, I am aware of the grammatical error in my title, however that was apparently the way that I wrote the name when I saved the file on Friday. So I thought I'd leave it as is just to show that my brain has broken.

Hahaha, at the beginning, I thought that the idea of Angela and Oscar as a couple was the funniest thing ever, but then I read on... there is almost too much funny here! And yay, Phyllis and Bob!
Author's Response:
Phyllis and Bob are the only normal couple, relationship-wise I think we'll ever see on the show. Except they're obsessed about refrigeration, which can't be good for the size of his package.
Did I really type that?
Apparently, yes.

I'm going to agree with other comments and say that I find this... very unlikely, but not impossible. In any case, a very interesting and original idea, and I'm looking forward to more!

Aw, that was sweet. I love his very realistic nervousness, and that it was slightly awkward, but still a great first experience.
Author's Response: Aww, thanks! I knew it had to be a little awkward for his first time, and their first time together, but really sweet at the same time.

Heh, cute, with a touch of sweet and meaningful too. It would not surprise me though, that while Pam's been going on for years thinking that make out session meant nothing, Lou's been pining, cursing Roy for getting the girl... my imagination's running wild!

Aw, cute chapter! I love the Michael/Pam bonding talk, and I love how Jan pretty much reads Jim perfectly.
Although: I think there's a slight error/mix up in this line: “Thanks, I appreciate it. And you’re partially right: Pam is why I left. But she’s not the only reason I came back.” - It looks to me like it should be Jan speaking, then Jim speaking, but it's all in one line/quote ? Or did I read it wrong?

Awww. All in all this was a very fun, cute fic, with a very sweet ending! I think the change in Jinx rules was very wise and understandable :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I appreciate it. I\'ve always thought there always needs to be some flexibility to rules, especially when everyone benefits. :)

Aw, I'm glad you tackled Casino Night earlier in the day, rather than starting the angsty-non-talking in that chapter. It was nice to have that one more light-ish chapter before this - but this is good too, because while it's heartbreaking to see them disconnected, bringing other people in is fun :) I love how the topic just comes up in the middle of an otherwise ordinary conversation about football, and Jim can act like it doesn't affect him at all.
Author's Response: Yep, part of Jim might be grateful for finding out via IM, it was easy to pretend he wasn't shoked that way . . .

Aw, yay! I'm glad you posted the non-talking chapters so close together so we could get back to relative okay-ness so soon (for a little while, anyway, possibly). I don't imagine they had much (or any) communication really between The Initiation, that text message, and the Merger, but I could believe them having little awkward chats, rebuilding the bond a little. I love the call back to the art class/kissing Dwight/Michael bet :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I think you just need to read GWH to Initiation in one sitting, it makes it a little easier.

This is completely believable as to how a conversation between them would follow that incident, if they addressed it at all. Jim wouldn't be able to keep his opinion completely to himself, and we've seen Pam several times get defensive when her relationship with Roy is called into question. The only real alternative I could see to this conversation is that they would avoid the topic altogether, be a little awkwared but pretend it never happened, which would also feel like Pam to me.
Author's Response:
Yeah, that's kind of the idea I had behind this chapters, that this is how it would go IF they addressed it at all, there's probably going to be more chapter like that (like pretty much all of Season 3).
I also have this idea that Pam, especially in the early episodes, was super intimidated by the cameras and before them she was a little bolder with Jim. Jim said in one episode that he listens to Pam complain about Roy, yet we really only heard her say a handful of negative things about Roy, so I'm thinking she turned to addressing him more in IM.
Anyway, long story, I felt this was realistic, but I don't know how other would feel.

Yay, I love her admitting that she says nice things about him to her mom. And Pam meeting his mom is probably in my top 5 things I want to see on the show!
Author's Response: What I like about this chapter is Jim trying to draw Pam out a little bit; making her clarify that her mom wanted to meet him, and saying "really?" when she says she does talk about him with her mom. I definitely want to see Pam meet Jim's Mom too.
