Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. This story has, quite literally, become an obsession of mine. It's just lovely and imaginative and original (as if you could write anything that wasn't). I need more Squirrel.
Win win win INDEED. Very funny and original. Excellent title as well. Nicely done!
Sometimes Ryan and Kelly talk about babies. Okay... a lot of times. This story is PERFECT. And here's why:
1)“You do what you gotta do.”
2)"Excuse my language, but that would be a fucking hot baby.”
3)“No, I haven’t heard it. I seriously can’t even listen to Usher anymore, and if I have to watch that movie where the babies talk to each other one more time I’m gonna… I’m sorry. What was the question?”
4) His mother mouths the words “I like her” to him from across the table and he tightens his lips, not really sure whether that’s to keep himself from frowning or from smiling.
You really found their voices perfectly, without passing judgement on either of them, which was lovely. Not to mention the last line is a JEWEL.
Nicely done!
By the time her breathing had returned to normal, he was gone.
Hot and lovely. So steamy, yet so juvenile, which was oddly fitting for these two.
Three years have passed since Pam left Scranton for New York, and Jim is still very much on her mind. Will a work-related trip to Rome, Italy be the catalyst that reunites Pam with Jim once and for all?
Online translators are pretty great. Brilliant story - such beautiful descriptions of Rome as well. This is almost filmic to me, and I'm seeing it in my head, which I find pretty amazing. Nice job.
Author's Response: I'm so excited to hear you call it "filmic" because when I was writing it, I certainly saw a lot of it play out in my own head. I am pleading the 5th as to whether or not the online translators have translated correctly (heheheh) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
*thud*
I'm dead. In a good way.
"So, Jim," she started, setting the empty can back down on the table as she returned his cup to him. "Have you ever done drugs?" She leaned in towards him for even more emphasis. She grinned widely at him before sitting back in her chair. [Spoilers up to and including Drug Testing for part one. Part two and beyond set in an AU-version of season 4.]Um... don't stop. This is so good.
I too have always assumed that Jim tokes up semi-regularly and it's so nice of him to include sweet little Pam in on his activites.
This story makes me jealous... I need to go make a call. :)
“Oh! God! Jim!” she heard herself gasp, each word its own sentence, each word coming from where they were joined together straight to her mouth, skipping her brain completely.
Wow. Yeah. Perfect description. Very nice job!
"What do you want to do today?" she asks.
"Ten down," he grins at her.
I can hear him saying that. Oh my God. I love him. I want a Jim Halpert of my very own.
This was lovely. Very sad and sweet all at once. I love that Jim isn't a sexGOD! their first time, because it seems more realistic to me. He's worshipped this girl for years, he's not going to be a stallion on the first go-round.
Basically, I love it. Bravo.
