This makes me feel very wistful too. Oh, Karen. And Toby! Sigh.

I adore so much how well you can capture the voice of this show. I mean, this is perfection. Well done, lady, well done.

[dollsome]

Wistful feelings all around with these two! I think it's impossible to escape the heartbreak and tragedy.

Er, not that I have any issues goin' on or anything.

Thank youuuuu, miss. :D

My first instinct after reading this was to break out the size-24 font and proclaim in bold, capslocked letters of woe "OH, TOBY!" But I refrained. STILL. I feel like size-3 bolded letters, at the very least, is needed:

OH, TOBY!

A-hem. This made me ache all sorts of bad for the gone-ness that is Toby/Pam. Whyyyyyy, cruel fates, couldn't they have just happened?! Uhhm. But, yes. You are brilliant and this was tragic and sad and I'm probably a bit lame to admit that it got me teary-eyed because Toby! Karen! Stupid ol' happy Jim/Pam!

I love it, like Kelly loves tawlking in accents, like this! (in my head, that was her Bridget Jones accent. FYI.)

Good call with the size-3 bolded letters, because honestly, they were so, so necessary. Sighhh. OH, TOBY/PAM. At least we shall always be there to mourn them? Or, um, something?

And thank you oh so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! (And, hee, your Bridget Jones!Kelly accent is the greatest. Can I be Austraaalian, mate?)

To steal a line from you:

This was about the most unabashedly perfect fic I've ever read.

You captured everyone (AGAIN) so wonderfully that I actually smiled and also wept. Just a little. Happily.

Great job, man!

[dollsome]

Aw, thank you, you! :D

[dollsome]

It's sort of hard not to resent Jim and Pam, at least a little bit. They're all glowy and happy and 30% more unpredictable, and in the meantime Karen gets left crying by a fountain in New York City and Toby doesn't even show up. Hopefully not because he's jumped off a building or something.

The whole situation is wrought with injustice.

Also, thank you. :D

:( My heartstrings, they do tug at them.

Thank youuuuuuu!
