Jim's internal monologue from "Casino Night" and beyond. Includes the confession and kiss. Each chapter is set to one of the five senses. 
10 Okay, I have a feeling that this is going to be rambly, so just sit tight and hang in there.
This is, hands down, one of the best fanfics I have ever read. In that general category. One of the best fanfics. You have managed to capture everything beyond character to something supremely and utterly them. You have managed to take what is the core of this couple and what exactly is the inner voice of Jim to create this amazing, amazing story. And I really wish I could express more coherently how incredible this is, but I can't.
Every word is perfectly right. It hurts in the right places and it's funny in others. When Jim asked her what would have happened if he had picked the pencil and Pam starts parroting what she said earlier was absolutely so so so in character. You just nailed it. Wow. Seriously, wow.
And that card? So many people have taken stabs at writing what was in that card, and I think yours is the best I've read. I mean best in the way that it's most realistic, it's most Jim. And this whole story just feels so real to me. And then parts of your prose is just absolutely exquisite. I love that you took away quotation marks for parts of their dialogue. This story just spoke so much for what I want their relationship to be.
Alright, I'm wrapping it up. But this was simply breathtaking. Thank you so much.
Pam's been faking it. Roy asks Jim how to fix it.
Oh, wow. I have to say that I really enjoyed this. The dialogue was perfectly awkward enough to make me squirm in my seat, and it made me feel for Roy at the same time. Nice job.
Jim leaves town, determined to get his mind off Pam and start over again. Meanwhile, Pam finds herself questioning her decision to get married.

...I think you just killed me.
Five chapters and I COULD NOT STOP READING. Ohmigod, so good. I can't even... It's late. I'm not coherent.
I am very, very, very eagerly awaiting the next part.
This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well. I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.
This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters. My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

"She had to go home to Newton to see her family" kind of nearly made me fall off my bed. I know it's where John and BJ are from, but it's also my hometown, so seeing it in a fic was the most surreal experience ever. Seriously - until BJ and John did the Office, NO ONE was from Newton (except, like Matt LeBlanc, but he really hated it, so it doesn't quite count).
Er. Anyway. Just thought I'd share my incredible sort of "ohmigod" moment.
Also - kind of adorable. Oh, Jim. =D
It takes two weeks for everything to fall apart, for something so seemingly well put together (and so poorly thought out) to quietly crumble at Karen’s feet. (Karen/Toby) Spoilers through Traveling Salesmen.
Oh, I liked this. I've never thought about Karen and Toby, but this was lovely. Thank you.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I admit, it's an odd pair. That's why I love the idea of them together!
Oh, very nicely done. I agree with all your points too. Really great, sweet way for it to end. And for Karen too. This was really fantastic.
You spend your days watching other people fumble over themselves and wade through life without having to actually live your own.
Response to the Documentary Crew challenge!
Ohhhh, this is great. I love his feelings for Karen (man, I was really rooting for it) and the kissing booth and the secret and subtle manipulation of the entire office and oh, this was just fantastic.
Oh, man, Kyra -- you wrote a WIP??? My brain just went on overload I think. Eee! Why isn't this on LJ???
No, seriously, this is full of awesome and I am aching with how much I miss S2 and all the wonderful bubbling angstiness. ROY. "Of course Pam will sign." Auuuuugh, Roy. PAM wanting to go back to the same place in Poconos. Poor, poor Pam. Oh, God.
Hee. Now we do know Michael's paycheck. Hahahaha.
Hahaha, I know, right?? But thank you!! And I'm going to post the whole thing to LJ when it's complete!
Heeee, yeah, when that episode aired I was like dammit, I've been jossed -- but hey, maybe even making relatively little for a manager Michael still makes more than Pam and Roy, right? (Especially based on this!) Or maybe Roy's just guessing based on what Michael SHOULD be making? ::fanwanks own fic::
Ohhhh, Kyra. This fucking hurts. It's fantastic and it's killing me.
Hawaii vs. Mexico and Roy, when he was kind of a douche, and Jim when he was still so in love with Pam and PAM, oh, poor, sweet Pam. The branch shutting down and auuuugh. I think I just died from how much this punched me in the stomach.
I'm going to quietly spaz here because, um, YES. I've been grumpy at the sudden influx of sappy Jim/Pam since The Job and, uh, this made everything better because what can I say -- I'm a masochist. This is totally why it hurts so good and I've missed your Jim/Pam and uggggggh. S2 Jim and Pam!!!! <3!
Author's Response: Whee, thank you! This made my day. :)
a) I used to read your OC fics, and they were quite excellent.
2) This, too, is quite excellent. I really enjoy that you decided to write a Casino Night fic. I think I've really missed that element of them denying the sexual tension and UGGGH THE KISS THAT KILLED ME and...yeah. Quite nicely done.
