Okay, I LOVED this...I was skeptical when I saw that it was Pam/Toby given that I'm a die-hard JAM fan, but this was so well done. Poor Toby! He's so odd, but you highlighted the inner suffering that's so often passed off for pitiful awkwardness on the show. Also, I loved the way you wrote Pam and Jim's relationship from afar. (I'm a sucker for them, what can I say). :-)

And now for my Austen diatribe...now, in all fairness, I've never read Sense & Sensibility. It's the only one of Austen's that I haven't read...but I couldn't stand the Emma Thompson/Hugh Grant version of Sense & Sensibility. The newer one...FABULOUS! Loved it so much. So that makes me think maybe I ought read the book now...it's on my list. In terms of my favorite Austen novel...toss up between P&P and Persuasion...

But then there's the whole Colin Firth Pride & Prejudice thing (probably the best miniseries ever made IMHO). I'm totally on board with you there. Though I have to say, if I had to pick an Austen hero...I wouldn't pick Brandon...I might end up with Henry Tilney from Northanger Abbey. Weird pick I know.

Okay, enough Austen ranting...fabulous job with this story! I really enjoyed it!
