"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."
Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.
I thought Jim's reaction was perfect. This may sound morbid, but I was hoping he'd cry. Yeah, that sounds morbid. But, see, it's just the most realistic reaction for him, I think. He loves her so much. You did a great job with this chapter. I understand if it takes you awhile to update, because it is a hard type of story to write. You just take your time and do your best. And you are doing the best I have ever seen. So, I love you. I throw flowers, not garbage. Can't wait for your next update.
Author's Response: LOL. Thank you so much! That really makes my day! No, I don't think it's morbid, This story is a bit morbid, but imagine that this actually happened on the show (Oh, I would die) people would be like "What the crap!?" if Jim didn't cry. I would hope he would cry, too. Thanks again!
You are a very tallented writer. This story is beautiful and heart-breaking and so real. The missing window-pane, the row of dead flowers, it's so haunting. But, in a good way. You're awesome. Please update soon.
I hope you haven't given up on us! This is such a great story, and such an awful cliff-hanger to leave us with. We're all too emotionally invested, now. At least, I know I am. I also know how difficult it is to write a story like this. I have before. And, trust me, it took a loooooooong time. So, it's okay if you take awhile, just so long as you do plan on updating eventually. Again, this is a really beautiful story.
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
I really want to tell you how completely unbelievable this chapter is, but I honestly feel like words would only cheapen it. I will tell you that I am crying and this was completely perfect. And Pam's speech... I was ready to break down from the beginning but I actually did when she started comparing her father and Jim. And Jim looks at her the way her father did. I loved it. Please update soon.
I really don't know what to say. Or, rather, I know what to say, but I don't know how to say it. This is, seriously, one of the best stories I have ever read. Ever. Forget fanfictions, you need to start writing books. I'll buy 'em, I swear. You're amazingly tallented. Thank you so much for writing this story and sharing it with us. It's beautiful.
Aw, damn Michael sometimes. You're doin' a great job really capturing their characters, though. Update soon!
This story is really great. You're a very talented writer. And I love the title, by the way! Awesome song! It really just adds to the story. Very beautiful.
Ah, cliff hanger ending! I think he'll choose Pam. How could he not? Anyway, thank you for writing this.
A post-Beach Games fic. Some glimpses of what might've happened after the cameras stopped rolling (not that enough didn't happen while they were rolling...).
Spoilers through Beach Games.
I love this story!!! "But I can. I did. I will." I love it! Please update soon.
So glad you like it - and I'll be updating soon, I promise. Very [/Jim] soon, in fact.
Thanks for reviewing!
"Why do you want this job?"
His mind is suddenly blank.
"Um..."
Beach Games aftermath, so spoilers for Beach Games, and speculation for the finale. Jammy, obviously.
I love this story! Please update soon. I can't wait for more. And, I think you do a really good job in capturing all the characters and what not. It all just feels very real. Good job!
Inspired by the finale and the seasons that preceeded it. Enough said.
Hey, this story is really awesome and well written and just great and please update soon because I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much - I'm working on it!
"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.]YAY for marijuana!!! Great song, by the way. Pam should be one of those people who gets kinda turned on when they smoke. Or she should freak out the first time she smokes. Get really paranoid or something. My one sister thought that everyone was trying to steal her clothes.
But, yeah, great story so far. Lovin' it. Update soon. Woo-hoo!
Jim is an indie music snob, until he insults the wrong man!
Rated "T" because of one bad word.
HAH! This is great.
I'd probably choose Death Cab over Dylan, though. :)
Whateva! Bob Dylan is my main celebrity boyfriend! I do, however, like all those indie bands...just not how people can be so snobby about music.
I'm glad you liked it though!
The road to perfection isn't paved in gold.This story is so far past perfect. It's amazing. It's a word better than perfect. It's awesome. It's incredible. It's written so well, too! You did what's hardest to do in fanfictions, and that's capture the characters. Even the best writers can still lose the character because someone else invented them. You got them dead on, though. It's great. It's really, really great.
And this story is so funny, and sad, and it's made me so giddy, and it's made me laugh, and it's made me want to cry. Just... perfect. I don't know. Thank you so much for sharing it.
The 'Hot Girl' episode from season one, from Pam's perspective. If only she could've realized things a bit sooner...
Obvious spoilers for Hot Girl (though hopefully if you're on this site you've seen it by now...) and rated T for one bad word in the beginning.
Oh, please go more into it! I love season 2 stories where Pam realizes she loves Jim. Especially well written ones. I so know I'll love yours. I think the switching off of POVs will be cool too. Dwight getting abducted, that'd just be awesome.
Not only did I love this story, but your title was awesome. It totally blew me away because when Andy was talking about that, it was hilarious, but placed in this context it sounds so beautiful.
Author's Response: thank you so much. Yeah it's so interesting to me to think of that phrase in this other sort of romantic way. Thanks for the review I really appreciate it!
First date. Anxiety and hope and terror and euphoria.
Last chapter is up! New beginnings, new rating.
This story was so perfect and adorable. I stopped reading the first date fictions awhile ago, just because there were so many of them. But, I'm really glad I chose to read this. It's wonderfully written, and both Pam and Jim stay very in character. It's sweet and perfect. Adding it to my favorites!
The town mouse and the country mouse. Jim/Pam, Jim/Pam/Ryan.Woah. The fact that this wasn't just some mindless threesome smut makes it ten times hotter. The conflict and everything, it was very realistic. Maybe that's the reason it was so hot. Because if Pam and Jim were to have sex with Ryan all at once, this is how it'd probably go down. This story also turned me onto Ryan's character a bit, which is kinda hard to do, so good job with that. Awesome story. Adding it to my favorites.
After a slight pause, Jim rose as well, moving to follow Dwight. Pam stood and shook her head at him.
“Let me go…I owe Dwight one.”
Alternate Scene for Money I couldn't get out of my head. What if Pam went after Dwight? Short, comments would be great.
Awww! Maybe it would have been better if Pam went. Her situation was a bit more similar than Jim's... Though Jim/Dwight love is hard to resist. Ooooh, I hope we get to see the first time Pam tells Jim she loves him!!! This was very sweet. Thank you for sharing it.
It's hot, it's steamy and it's real. This may be more fan non-fiction than fiction. You'll have to read and find out for yourself.
THIS WAS AWFUL!!!! Though I think that's what you intended, so job well done! It was really funny, too. It's gonna disturb a lot of Jammer's out there. But that's okay, I know in my heart of hearts that Jim is a sex god. Oh, and favorite line: "Anything to get Edward Scissorhands out of there" LOL!
Author's Response: LOL. Great review. You had me worried there for a second, because I thought you really did hate it. But I'm glad you didn't. I don't want to disturb too many Jammers out there, but I wouldn't mind if they laughed. So anyway, thanks for the kind words.
Hey, I'm really liking this story. It's different from the other fanfictions that mention fanfictions, because in all the other ones I've seen, they're dating. The fact that they're not together in this story makes it really, really interesting. Also, the fact that Jim hasn't even told Pam he loves her yet. I'm really excited to see where this is going. I can't wait for your update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review. I'm sorry you had to wait so long for an update.
First I was like, YAY! QUICK UPDATE! Then I was like, NO! SMALL CHAPTER!
I need more! This story is so awesome so far. I love the concept. I have to know what happens next. I can't wait to see Jim and Pam's reaction to seeing eachother naked for the first time when they have to change and shower and stuff. Hah!
LOL! Awkward masturbation scene. No, no... not yet.
But seriously, this story is sooo good. I love the whole idea of it and you're writing it so well. You've really got their characters down. Ooooh, I'm so excited. Update soon!
OMG!!! This story was incredible. Seriously, you're an amazing writer, and you just had these sentences, these amazing jewels just strewn out all over this story. These lines that just pull at your heart. I'm flipping right now. I mean, the whole thing about pretending not to fall, and then realizing he'd fallen. I don't really read the stories that take place before the show started, but this kinda summarized for me in the most heart-breaking way. And the whole:
"He didn't think he could be Halpert if she couldn't be Beesly."
and...
"Of all the things that hurt him that night, this was the worst: how she had made him be the one to let go."
I LOVE THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT! It killed me that she squeezed as he pulled away. And I've never heard another story mention that before. Maybe lots exist out there, but I haven't read them. OH, and also...
"He didn’t even try to ignore the thrill it gave him to be able to say it."
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT! But he had that huge grin on his face, my god, he must have loved it.
Okay, sorry for such a long crazy review. It's late and I'm sleepy and goofy, and I really love this story. Adding it to my favorites and moving on to check out the other stuff you've written.
Cinderella meets Groundhog Day meets Dr. Gregory House. Pam will never be the same. (Set during S3's Ben Franklin.)This story is so great! I love Dr. House! And I'm glad he's here to talk some sense into Pam. She could have used that during season 3, things would have moved along much faster. But, woah! Major cliff-hanger here! I'm dying to know what happens! Please update soon!
