The first paragraph. Amazing.
He's found that there's this time, this very specific moment just at daybreak, that looks so much like dusk that he can barely stand it.
Masochism doesn't have a place in a life that already has so many opportunities for pain.
Ouch. This makes me ache in more ways that I thought possible.
Job well done. :)
On another note, you've made me curious about the poster you have. :) Which picture of him is it?

That, my friend, is quality writing.
It was so amazing and painful to read.
The ending was not at all what I expected but definitely what I wanted to hear. Truly realistic because I could have seen that happening in The Office. I would have preferred seeing that because its real and painful and life isnt as kind as its been to Jim and Pam.
If I could choose quotes, I would copy and paste all six chapter, but that would be stupid, so I'll point out the ones I REALLY enjoyed reading.
"He looks at her for the first time that night and she catches his glance from across the room and he can swear that she is thinking the same thing, too." :(
"I’m doing this for her. My best friend.
The idea that she is only his best friend after three years of obvious more-than-that actions burns a hole in his self-esteem. " Good stuff.
"It took her wedding, the most dreaded event of his young life, to realize that their ending wasn’t only his fault. " Those words ring SO true, because it was never only his fault. Sure, he was quiet and didn't tell her for years, but she always had the option too.
You make my heart ache. Considering this is angst, you did an awesome job. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so, so, so much! Wow! I really, really appreciate your comments! I wasn\'t feeling too confident about this chapter and then BAM you come along and I suddenly feel really great about it! Thank you so much! And those are some of my favorite quotes too - thank you for taking the time to remind me about the important things about their relationship!!
Summary: Roy gets an invitation in the mail. Title and inspiration from Death Cab's "You Can Do Better Than Me." That song has always reminded me of Roy.

That was really good. I usually avoid Roy-centric things, but this was a good eye opener. He wasnt/isnt a horrible person, if hes willing to make amends.
"Maybe Jim was the type of guy girls come back to. "
Aw.. poor Roy.

Wow. That was so sad but SO good. Great job. That blew me away. I cant form a good response because I feel like my emotions are all over the place.
"Don’t make the same mistake I did. Please."
That just inspired me... I think I'm gonna take Jim's advice and risk it. ...yikes. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! I'm so glad you were inspired by it! That makes me so happy to hear that!! Thank you!!!
