What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Sort of.
AU set in season 3
10 Nooooo! I am going to kill you for real. But seriously, you have to finish this now, promise??
9 YAY!!! I mean...YAY!!
9 LOVE IT! Sorry, that's as eloquent as I'm getting! Woo!
Don't take this the wrong way, but... you should go for that job.
What would have happened if Jim had taken that job in Maryland after all? Season Two angst - spoilers for Halloween through Email Surveillance, then goes AU from there.
9 This is a very nice story!
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words, Crystalized. I'm glad you like it.
9 Your imagery is really terrific. This is a wonderful chapter and what a chapter ending!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the kind review, Crystalized.
9 Very sexy and hot!
9 I like this story - very clever. But how long can she realistically resist the Halpert charm? Give in, Pam! That can be the 'angle' for the Stanford branch.
Author's Response: well, i don't know how "real" pam (er, the pam in the documentary we know, not the 'pam' in this fic - yikes, confusing) spent so many years not jumping jim -- but you know, people are cut from a different cloth, etc ;) anyway, you'll know soon enough where we're going... thanks for the feedback!
10 Okay, first of all, love this first chapter and look forward to the rest. Second, I have seriously been looking to my Barenaked Ladies greatest hits CD all day - is the title in any way a reference to the song "Call and Answer"? Because if not it is a crazy accidental parallel:

Thanks for the story. I really like the point about guys getting over people they were actually dating easier than Jim's situation.
Author's Response:
crystalized, I'm glad you like the line about the other guys. I really loved that line and you're the only one to mention it. But I do think he has to wonder why he can't move on. I've done that anyway, so maybe I'm projecting.
And yes, I totally forgot to credit them, which I will fix, but it is an homage to the Barenaked Ladies. So, is this an appropriate time to show my love for all things Barenaked Chicks....LOVE THEM. Break Your Heart is easily one of the most gut wrenching songs ever. Ok, I'll stop now. :-)
9 ooh, knife to the gut!! yowser. but I think it was good for them.
"I hear your voice in my head all day like I’m freaking insane." I can hear drunkjim saying this so clearly.
Author's Response: Oh my ....put the knife down! I liked that line too, glad you did. Thanks for hanging in there. It does get better from here....or at least happier.
It's been three years since Jim accepted the promotion to New York. After two years of silence, Pam sends Jim a gift.
9 My thoughts are... I want more!! What is Jim going to do??
Author's Response: Not telling yet! Next chapter will be up in a day or so. Thanks for the note, Crystalized.
9 I really love this story and can't wait to learn what happens!
Author's Response: Thanks, Crystalized!
9 I am so excited!! Pam will be so shocked!
Yay to getting more of this one and CC :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Crystalized! Yep, Pam will be shocked! I was pretty excited to finally get another chapter up, too. Thanks for sharing the excitement with me.
9 What can I say? Love it. Great ending, I can see them both standing on the stoop perfectly, ready to start another chapter of their lives. Thanks and look forward to more CC now (no pressure) ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the ending. Cardiac Care will start up again ... have to get back into that groove!
9 This is so lovely. Very in character and great moments that you've captured. It's very "slice o' life" - good job!
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much Crystalized. I\'m so pleased you find this in character, I did worry the excessive fluff might just take over. :)
Pam, Jim, a first date and lots of alcohol.9 Very natural dialougue and I adore drunk Jim and Pam. Nice story! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Author's Response: Dialogue is one thing that\'s really important to me. I find myself writing and rewriting lines until they sound just right, so I\'m glad you thought it was natural. And I adore drunk Pam and Jim too. They\'re fun to write.
9 Oh, very nice chapter! I am enjoying these "what ifs". Lovely last paragraph!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Sometimes I think I end this a bit too abruptly, but I\'m glad you enjoyed the ending. :)
Post- "Weight Loss." 10 Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Lovely.
Author's Response: Thanks!
S3 AU. She twists the gold band on her finger around and around. She waits to feel regret or guilt or something else besides this buzzing excitement.10 Breathtaking. Wow.
Please forgive me for this title. I shouldn't be posting at 12:37 a.m....it makes me name things really stupidly. If you can come up with a better title PLEASE feel free to call it that in your mind.
My own little missing scene -- spoilers through Customer Survey
Don't own these characters, just admire them from afar. I mean no disrespect to NBC, the writers, actors, or any of those fine folks. This is just for fun. :-)
10 Great job, and I now totally believe this conversation took place, because that is the way to happiness ;) Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: hahaha...so glad I could point you in the direction of happiness! It's a fun place!
77 The title says it all.10 Beautiful piece. Really a joy to read. Thanks for sharing!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, for reading and reviewing! :)
One part for each season. Pam's p.o.v. Nothing could be more innocent than a freckle, right?10 Whoaa...nelly. I can *feel* the thick heat and the fluttering in Pam's stomach. Excellent descriptive work (as usual). Mesmerizing stuff.
Author's Response: 'Mesmerizing' is a great compliment - so glad you're really feeling this, Crystalized. Thanks so much!
9 You are so right about S3, but I think it was necessary and well-done in hind sight. Thanks for another great chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, Crystalized. Glad you're enjoying this!
10 Aww, I am such a sap. How lovely! Thanks for the story Colette!
Author's Response: My pleasure. Thanks so much, Crystalized!
An AU look at what might have happened, had Pam really thought about Jim's decision to go to Australia.I'm enjoying this story. "difficult to grasp" indeed :)
Author's Response: Pam\'s head is hard to get into, so I hope my take was realistic. Thanks for reading!
10 I really enjoyed this story! Thanks for writing and sharing it with us :)
I really FELt the scene where Pam arrives at the house and Mark's reactions are hilarious.
Author's Response: That means a lot to me that you really felt it, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking time to review and sorry I didn\'t respond sooner! :)
