Cinderella meets Groundhog Day meets Dr. Gregory House. Pam will never be the same. (Set during S3's Ben Franklin.)Ooh, the red herring! Karen is not the problem. (But is sure is fun to blame her, isn't it?)
Oh Moxie, you are an evil, evil woman. I guess that serves me right for hovering over the fic page waiting for new treats.
How much Red Bull do you need for the next chapter?
Wow, you really captured S3 Pod!person Jim here. This is the 'strange unexplained bleeding or coma' part of the show, where everything gets really crazy right before House figures out what's really causing the problem, right?
The storage closet at the Chili's! Two fantasies in one!
And yes, it is IN-SANE how great this story is. House is killing me here, that crazy freak.
Ow, Moxie. You make my heart hurt. But seriously, who hasn't driven by that someone's house, sad if they're out, and terrified if they're actually there. Ah, the double-edge of heartache.
Wow. Just wow. S3 PodPerson!Jim, with his head tucked firmly in his ass. (Such a shame to ruin such a nice one, too.)
And who knew Karen had it in her to be 'nice' to Jim? Of course, this explains it to a tee: He knew exactly what was expected from him to keep her happy. Written like a true cynic, Mox.
You know I love all the House details, what a sarcastic pain in the ass he is, complete with punching elevator buttons with his cane and general smart-assery.
Bwah! The detailing! (Guess House didn't know Jim has had so many different cars). I like that Pam took matters back into her own hands. Go FNB.
Ooh, this is so sweet. The Office Olympics of Lurve.
Love this: the millionth whisper from the universe telling him to never let her go.
Thank you! I sort of liked that line myself. :) I just think at this point All Signs Point to Yes, you know? Even if it's just that they both like Olympic boxing.
We can never have enough 'right the wrong' proposal stories. Gah! I want to see what happened! Come ON 9/25 already!
(Nice job, BTW).
When Jim can't be there when Pam needs him, he sends a little love through the mail.
My contribution to the "Pam in New York" theme
Gah. That was so compelling. A non-proposal that kicks ass, even. I cannot wait for Jam!Babies for real.
Author's Response:
me either lisa my dear. I've been wanting Jam!babies since like, season 1. haha.
I thought you should know, my Jim's bulletin board desktop is very inspiring ;o)
thanks so much for reviewing!
lis -- I'm loving this. Kind of sad that having the wind knocked out of her sails would make DM look like a decent alternative, but heck, just having a job isn't such a bad thing. Especially with a certain paper salesman sitting three feet away.
It's kind of like the idea that Jim could tolerate working at DM and not throw himself in front of a train if his family life is going the way he wants it to. Nicely done and sweetly stated.
A golf pencil, two hot sauce packets, a Boggle timer, a mixtape, a high school yearbook photo, a card, and a teapot. Yup.a-freaking-dorable. Feel free to fill in the blanks of any other 'missing' chapters of the Pam/Jim saga.
Author's Response: I\'m working on it, Lisa. It\'s all about finding those gaps that intrigue me. I noticed that someone on the boards recently compiled a list of moments we\'d like to see. I\'m working on one of my own that doesn\'t appear on that list right now, but maybe I\'ll play around with those options next..
Yeah, people do like romance, happy endings. All that.
Love the description of that feeling of anxiety when you sense that something is wrong, but you haven't quite figured out what. Argh.
Oh, I love the timer. Maybe it will make a reappearance?
(And the 'blindfold' on Pam's yogurt? Priceless.)
Oh, Jimmy-Jim. You just know he was a little excited that Pam was on his bed. Ok, a lot excited.
And I love a barn dance. Just sayin'
(or, Everyone Else Wrote It, Why Can't I?) If you aren't sick to death of tales about such an historic event, here's one more version - told to you by the daters themselves.oh squee! The phone conversations are twelve different kinds of adorable!!! And yay for Pam for not being naive. Good for her.
Author's Response: TWELVE different kinds of adorable? I was only aware of seven in the world, and only four of those are naturally occurring. I deserve a Nobel Prize...for fan fiction! :) Thanks so much and glad you\'re enjoying!
Guh. Still 12 kinds of adorable.
Love Jim's rationale about why not to sleep together right away, and that he has a TWSS in his interior monologue.
Nicely done, LC. Hope to see more from you in the future.
Yes! JAMBabies in S5!!!
LC -- just wanted to check in & say how much I'm enjoying this. I love lots of Disney details -- although I haven't been in about 20 years (yikes!). I really like the 'ensemble' vibe you've got going, a little something for everyone ;o)
I'm guessing Dwight's 'toy' comment was the disturbing one.
And bonus points for the Yoda quote: "Do or do not do. There is no try."
BTW -- Pam & Jim alone at WDW would still be entertaining, but they'd have to show it on HBO after dark.
Ha! I love the bonus gifts ;o) Nice job, LC.
Author's Response: Thanks, LisaHoo, I\'m always so pleased when people like them!
Bwah -- the Indy hat. A classic.
And Ed Debevic's is a riot -- I immediately thought it it when you started to describe Aunt Kat.
Not at all surprised at Dwight's evil Pooh Bear. Nice job, LC.
LC -- you made Geek World (er, Epcot) actually sound like a lot of fun ;o)
Author's Response: Than-- HEY, wait a second! Epcot is amazing! And YES that makes me a dork, but it is! We dedicate two days to it every trip. So there. :P ;)
Yup, Jim does love Italian food. Italian girls, not so much.
Poor Pammy. It can be tough when you expect something and are left hanging.
BTW -- this is the part of Epcot I really liked. And there weren't very many pavilions open yet when I was there. Score.
P.S. 6 more days to the SP!!!!
Aw, Michael. So sweet to Evil!Jan, she she-devil.
And Jenna loves to scrapbook, so I'm guessing Pam could make a great one with that two page spread of Andy & Dwight polka-ing.
