This is so great! The story and dialogue are excellent. I also like the image of Jim in his Jack Ryan (season 2) style clothes. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I’ve put more work into this one than into any other, I think, so I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying it. I hope to deliver a new chapter soon!

I love this ending! I can picture the whole sweep of the story, and bringing it back to the library is perfect. Thank you for this!

Eeek, what a cliffhanger! This is so good. I like how you've combined the romance with the action, and how you've added bits of canon like the coal walk.
I can't believe Pam opened the door for Ryan! The next chapter can't come soon enough.
Author's Response: It’s that damn chain! I always feel so safe and secure with the chain on the door, and of course Ryan knows how to be disarming. They needed ring doorbells in the 1960s! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and hope you continue to! Thank you!

This is a great story, and realistic for where Pam would be. Keep going please!
Author's Response: Thank you, Sprinkles! (Love your username btw!) There’s more coming and it’s going to be a bit angstier (hmmm? That’s a word, right?) before it gets better.

I like this one. I think that Jim was optimistic before Casino Night so the time fits.
Author's Response: Thank you, Sprinkles! Yeah, I agree about Jim's still-optimistic spirit here. Next chapter, not so much...

Help! Police! I'd like to report a murder.
My God you do this so well. Thank you for the gift of another chapter of this killer story.
Summary: “Karen, I don’t even have his phone number. It’s been four years since we last saw each other. When we broke up.” Pam emphasizes this last part as if Karen needs the reminder of her best friend’s personal history. “It’s not like… Look, I’m not going to fall in love with him again.”

We're waiting....
:-)
Author's Response: I promise there's another coming. Unfortunately, it's finals season and that is taking more time than I would like. BUT the next chapter is 2/3 written so hopefully I will have time soon to really work on it. Thank you for the encouragement, though. I'm glad to know you enjoy it. :)

Omg. There's so much to say and I don't know if I have the words. I love how you write them in this story. The relationship is so precarious and yet so intimate. The sex was amazing. All of it. But that ending. I kept thinking, 'Maybe DC isn't going to kill us this time. Maybe she'll let one of them say what they really feel.' But we're left with these two idiots still protecting themselves and leaving us to lie on the ground wondering what it's all for.
Thank you for this amazing chapter, I loved it. At least they got to the bedroom and that was absolutely worth the wait.

Hey, Fillipelli.” Pam feels Karen bristle at Jim using his old nickname for her, and she almost feels sorry for him as he glances down awkwardly. “How’s Paul?”
“He’s good. Still collects guns.”
I decided to start re-reading this because, why not be exquisitely tortured all over again? This is so good. The dialogue you write is perfect for the characters.

I'm so excited to see an update. This story is my favourite, although I don't know why because it has way more than its share of angst! Seriously though, this is epic.
The banter is so perfect, you've captured Jim and Pam just as they are only better. Both are mature and beginning to understand the ways they both contributed to their breakup.
Karen and Jo are both excellent. Jo is so fun. The little interaction with her taking Andy for coffee - perfection!
You know I'm living for the third date. Please don't make us wait so long!

Oh this was so good. Every chapter is worth the wait. Halfway through...that's wonderful. I love how your descriptions are so detailed. And the little bits of intimate humour like Jim flexing are just perfect.
Author's Response: Sprinkles, thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate how much you have enjoyed this story and I hope you continue to like where it goes from here.

DC, this is so good. I just sat at my kitchen counter completely engrossed in this for the last 20 minutes. I finished and it was like I had to shake myself back to reality. I love this adult version of JAM. Thank you for such a great chapter.
Author's Response: Sprinkles, this review is so kind! I'm glad it was that immersive. I always appreciate your feedback on this story! xoxo

Oh my God, DC, this was so good. I was completely absorbed. I love the way you give so many tiny details so I can see exactly what's happening. Please give us another chapter soon.
Author's Response: Thank you, Sprinkles! Reviews like this warm my heart! Sometimes I get worried that those "tiny details" I so love adding in just bog down the story. I'm glad to hear that it works for you!

DC, I love this story, and your writing, and these two idiots. This chapter was amazing. You painted such a clear picture with the flashbacks that I felt like I was watching a movie. I had to take breaks while reading because...heartbreak, but oh so good. The scenes after each of them have their encounters with other people, and all they can think about is each other....heartbreaking.
I basically cackled when Pam told Jim he looked fuckable. OMG. I love this Pam. I was thinking about her choice to not move to Philly but to then turn around and move to NYC, and I totally get it. She wanted to move for herself, not for him. She didn't want to be given ultimatums.
You can keep torturing us all you want with the heartbreak as long as you promise to make it up to us with the ending. :-)
Thank you for the writing, it's wonderful.
Author's Response: Sprinkles, as always, you are too kind! Thank you for your kind words about this story. And you aren't wrong about Pam having a realization that she needed to do some things for herself. That's going to be a Big Theme in the next few chapters. Thank you thank you thank you!

DC this is so good. I love this universe. I love the detail you're including. The angst is so...delicious. She showed up at his engagement party? Ugh. Karen is such a good friend. Kelly being an influencer. It's all perfect.
Author's Response: Oh, Sprinkles I always appreciate your reviews so much. Ha! And to hear that the angst is delicious is, well, that's a compliment of the highest order. I hope you continue to enjoy where this is going. Thank you for taking the time to read and review!
