Jim and Pam, moments from each month, starting with May 2007. Just sort of filling in some blanks. Some fluff, a little angst here and there. Eventually I'll get through a whole year. Spoilers through "The Job," I guess. Awww, the "August" was sweet like candy. =)
Author's Response: Thanks, FT!
That proposal scene was just too cute for words!! I love how excited Pam was throughout the day, expecting this. lol
LOL Hurricane Beesly. That's cute. I really enjoyed this chapter -- I'm glad to see Jim taking steps toward doing something he really likes, and I love how supportive Pam is of that. =)
This is all so achingly romantic yet funny at the same time. I love the description of the time Pam thinks it happened. So descriptive. =)
Author's Response: I like that you thought the romantic aspect came through....seriously, what decision could be more romantic, despite all the conflicted feelings? Thanks, Finer Things.
Aww, how do you pack so much emotion into such a short chapter? Poor Jim, being the patient husband, and poor Pam, going through all those changes and suffering at work. Gah Michael and Dwights comments sound just awful! Blah. I do hope they get to go to Paris and do all the things they want to. =)
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Jim earns his due rewards in this chapter. And hearing you could sense the emotion, without too many words, is like the best thing. Thanks so much again.
Aw, so romantic. I love how well they know each other.
Author's Response: Yup, I think how well they know each other would make everything - and I do mean everything - work better. Loving all these review, Finer Things!
LOL alien limb. I love the teasing, and the fact that they're calling the baby "Danger". Jim really has the perfect response to her feelings of fatness. Haha Kelly's thoughts on the cutest way to be pregnant are just so...Kelly. I especially loved this line: They were intrepid explorers, navigating the possibilities. That whole passage was beautifully steamy. And I'm really glad you ended the story with Pam acknowledging that she could always go to Paris. That was really nice. =)
Author's Response: Adding a little Kelly to the mix is always fun. And yeah, I saw Paris as Pam's code for all the things she fears giving up...so her coming to that realization was kind of the arc I intended. As if that wasn't obvious, lol. Thanks for all your generous reviews, Finer Things.
Haha I'm your newest fan!! This was so cute -- lol drunk with love! -- and awesome choice of song. LOL!
Author's Response: Thank you very much, I'm glad that you liked it. It was just a quick little idea that I had. Thanks for the compliment and review FinerThings.
Another great story...realistic dialog, I love when Pam and Jim fight and deal with their issues. Haha. Aww and she showed up the next night with the first box!! So precious! =)
Awww! So many sweet moments...loved all of Pam's confessions...and Jim saying Kevin (!!!)...awww and that ending... *big happy sigh*
Michael Scott has a great plan to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., but no one else is happy about it. It's up to Jim to fix it. Part of my holiday series -- "Holiday: Just One Day Out Of Life."Oh wow -- Michael in the beginning was absolutely cringeworthy! LOL! Confrontation with Ryan was intense, and I love how he knows that Jim would have gotten the job. That comforting. Aww and the Pam/Jim conversation was really cute.
Author's Response:
Michael can be so cringeworthy, can't he? When I first started watching The Office (and even still), it was despite Michael, not because of him. But it's fun to sort of channel that idiocy and write it sometimes. ;)
If I were Ryan (I'd shoot myself -- no, that wasn't it), I'd have this sort of talk with Jim. I'd absolutely set Jim on babysitting patrol. Jim should be doing more of that anyway; he sort of sits back and collects the paycheck for the Assistant RM title, but doesn't do anything much with it except when Michael leaves or 'his' women are planning a party together.
I'm glad you liked the Pam/Jim convo -- I have to think at some point they'd talk about how he could have taken the job if he wanted to. It wasn't really a Pam or NY decision, or at least, it didn't have to be. I'm pretty sure Jim's happier in Scranton, though. ;)
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
LOL!! Jim is so amazing (as if I didn't already think so..) for coming up with all of that!! What a perfect day for Stanley. Heeheehee. That was hilarious -- thanks for posting! =)
Author's Response:
That would be a perfect day for Stanley! Add a free pretzel around noontime and he'd die and go to heaven.
I'm so glad you liked it! I actually would love to see how they'd handle MLK day on the show. Michael would be certain to handle it badly. ;)
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
Heehee! This is such a cute start! Aww waking up all snuggled. =)
Author's Response: I had meant this to be fluffy and fun like the first chapter, but angst just seems to follow Jim and Pam.
Loved the running around in the morning, and the prank they pulled on Dwight. Haha Mark's cameo was cute. I'm really looking forward to figuring out what happened last night through their snippets of flashbacks. OMG her panties are missing??? We need to know what happened. =)
Author's Response: All in good time. I will give you this though, the underwear are found before they remember what happened.
Hahaha Jim's underwear is missing too??? LOL copies of Jim's tie on fancy expensive paper. This story is hilariously funny. =)
“Because I am tying the knot and your tie has a knot. It is the perfect background really.” She really is the cutest. Things seem to be getting really intense!
Author's Response: It is very fun to write them drunk. They are all rainbows and sunshine.
I really liked this chapter, and I did like the way you wrote Roy. At first, I was felt bad because Pam was just blatantly lying to him and he seemed to believe it...but then he knew the whole time!! That's definitely more like Roy...especially the comment about what he would do if he saw her with Jim again. Eeep!! Great chapter, looking forward to the next one. =)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing all the chapters thus far. You\'re great for doing that. Roy is so difficult to write. I want him to be the bad guy, but he really isn\'t. I think I wrote this chapter 4 times before settling on this version. Thanks again for your awesome reviews.
"Now, as Pam begins the tale, Jake and Cynthia don't tell her that when they hear her stories, they always imagine their parents as the main characters. . ."
Sooo cute!!
10 Hee!! That was so cute! I like how they revisited that whole 28 days/28 days later thing. Very sweet. =)
You walk by the watercolors every day and you feel nauseous, like the water used to paint them was under you, rocking you side to side, instead of dried on the wall.
There's one last nagging part of Pam's past that has yet to be fixed.
Wow, that was gorgeously written. =)
Author's Response: Thank you!
You were wrong about the sex. Not about how great it would be, no, but how you would stop being consumed with thoughts of her 24 hours a day once you could be with her.
10 Heeee this story's my first review with my shiny new account. And oh wow!! That was deliciously hot!! Loved the second person POV, made it all the more interesting. Writer's strike blues indeed. We need more smut. =)
Author's Response: Welcome, effayoffay! I'm so honored to be your first! (TWSS). I really like writing the second-person POV for some reason, and it wasn't a planned thing when I started writing this, it just sort of came out like that. Glad you liked this little smuffin and there's plenty of other delicious treats around here that I'm sure will leave you satisfied and smiling. You can search by rating. ;-) Thanks so much for the review!
Oh that was sooo cute!! Loved the banter, I could hear their voices in my head. Just perfect. =)
"I sort of turned into Barrette Girl." Why Pam let her hair down.
That was adorable, I especially loved the line, “There’s something I need to get off my chest.” *giggles*
Awww poor Karen, I always feel bad for her. But eeee can't wait til the next chapter. =)
That was very sweet. =)
