I didn't think it was sloppy at all, pretty fantastic yet again :)
It was nice to hear Jim's side, and to finally get a glimpse of why he was so aloof to her back when they nearly kissed for the first time. Can't wait for next chapter :)
Author's Response: Well, thank you, thank you. I\'m glad you enjoyed this chapter and that you got to see why Jim behaved the way that he did during that whole angsty period after Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a note!
Summary: Jim’s car needs repairing so Pam is enlisted to drive him to and from work. Pam asks Jim for a favour in return when a colleague reminds her that she’s never going to experience another man besides Roy.

Really like what your running with here, nice idea. I probably disagree with the timeline myself for this chapter, I always thought they didn't patch up their differences until after Valentine's Day, but this is just as plausible. So no post conflict resolution fic?
Looking forward to next chapter
Summary: A teenaged Jim meets Pam right before he goes off to college in another state.
I always thought it was silly whenever I would watch those chick flicks where some guy finally meets the girl of his dreams, and there are all those slow motion effects. I always thought, “Yeah, like that ever happens,” but when I saw Pam stepping out of Holly’s car, that happened

I love this story. It's so good, it's angsty yet funny, just the perfect balance. Dwights antics had me in stitches. I'm really looking forward to updates :)

That was a sweet chapter. I was sure Pam was going to let him get away there. It's refreshing to see a chnage in the Jim/Pam dynamic, it'd usually be Pam who breaks Jims heart first :P
Author's Response: Yes, I\'m trying to make Jim seem more like Pam (scared to take chances) and Pam more like Jim...does that make sense? Thank you for the review!

Loved this chapter! i was wondering how jim was going to return to uni now that he was with Pam, but I love the way you've done it so realistically. I'm curious to see how you manage their long-distance relationship :)
Author's Response: Thanks...it was a hard choice, but I found that Jim going back was more realistic. I\'m glad you liked the chapter! Thanks again for the review.

I absolutely love this chapter. It would have been v.easy to have Jim and Pam simply stay in love during their uni years. Can't wait to find out what drove led to them breaking up (And also of course to see if they get back together ;) )

I love the angst. Deep down I hope Pam and Jim end up together, but it seems unlikely seeing as how happy Pam is. I do feel awfully sorry for Jim
Looking forward to last chapter, will it be too much to ask for to have a happy ending?
Author's Response: I guess that depends on what you mean by happy ending...lol.

Aaaw I have a feeling I know what you're going to do and we're probably going to meet Audrey again. It makes me sad since I think Jim and Pam are soulmates, but it makes it better that Jim won't end alone :)

YES! Thankyou! Haha, that whole chapter with the flashback was to trick us was it. Anyway I'm glad it's worked out this way! Can't wait for epilogue
Author's Response: No, the flashback was to show that Jim wasn't always pathetically pining over Pam for the last ten years...and to trick you guys...just a little. hehe!
Thank you for all of your reviews, Noodles! You've been sticking to this story since the beginning, and I couldn't let you down! :)

Wow that was just amazing. I can totally see the conversations going that way. The only part I disagree with is in the episode, Jim did say Peter and Pam's mum are talking to others about their relationship, just not to each other, so I think he would have been more open in this story around Jim and Pam anyway. Nevertheless, great piece :)
Summary: This would take place in S3, I guess. Listen to Snow Patrol in the middle of the night, and this is what becomes of it.

Summary: "The CIA" reconnects with Dwight about the secret mission that was proposed to him during A Benihana Christmas. He responds condescendingly and expounds on his list of 'every secret he promised he'd never ever tell.' What will Pam and Jim think when they get a hold of this?

I really like Pam's side of things so far, going to be interesting to see her version of events. I've noticed you haven't updated for a while, and chance that'll happen soon. I'm dying to know what was said in the Jim Pam convo at the end of Philly Jim.....

I know Roy can be insensitive, but I thought even he'd understand that she's gone to visit her best friend who's about to have surgery, I don't think he'd have gotten angry about it, but YMMV
I'm intrigued to see how Pam acts now around Jim now that she knows he likes her. Looking forward to next chapter :)
Summary: The story of Jim and Pam retold in an AU manner over the course of a week. Pam is a PR person at a Scranton Museum, which hosts the annual Scranton Art Festival. Jim works for the Scranton Times and is assigned to do the story on the festival. You know the rest of the story.
