Okay, you? Are amazing. This totally makes my second night of insomnia totally worth it, to have this pop up on my friendslist.

Here are the many reasons why this rocked on so many levels:

1. THE AWAKENING. Augh! One of my absolute favorites, and it's so perfect for this and ohhh Pam.

2.
Pam looks over to see Creed eyeing the painting with mild interest.

“Um, yeah,” she says awkwardly. She’s not sure whether she should be proud.

“Nice,” Creed declares, nodding slightly and shoving his hands into his pockets. “Now where’s this supposed to be, exactly?”

BWA! YES.

3. Pam's fake comissions for Jim! Grandma Schrute! OH MY HEART. I was marathoning some season 2 episodes earlier tonight with some friends, and even with "Michael's Birthday", it just...aside from the unrequited love thing, they used to be such good friends! And it's pretty much impossible for them to go back to that comforting, easy place now, with jinx and spontaneous dental hydroplosion and finishing each other's sentences, which is why this:

She wants to tell him that she doesn’t know whether it’s worth it, that she doesn’t know how to be brave, to make the right kinds of sacrifices. She doesn’t know how to be honest where it counts, and maybe he doesn’t either.

Killed me dead. Because, oh. She still can't. She doesn't know how. :(

Aaaaand I have so much more to say but sleep is nice, so.

In short, wonderful, wonderful job! It's scary how well you seem to get inside the characters' heads...you are very good...at what you do.

Aww, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :D

it just...aside from the unrequited love thing, they used to be such good friends!

Gah, yes! That's so horribly heartbreaking to me. More than anything else, I just want them to reach a place eventually where they can be friends again. And, well, obviously they will, but the estrangement between them now is so realistic on the show and it just hurts my soul, dammit! But in such a good way.

(Also, YAY for The Awakening! It's one of my very favourites, too. :D)
