I love that both Josh and Katie were so openly PJo fans.

AsgardianJane

Under-rated PJo things:

Joey knew Pacey's home phone number in 'None of the Above' by heart. How many times do we think she made the 'Can Pacey come out an play?' call?

Joey knows Pacey's whole family to the point Gretchen considers herself a 'vaguely older sister figure'

Joey was invited to Pacey's first boy-girl birthday party

These lines:

Uncharted Waters
None of the Above
Read between the banter, she knows him just as well as Dawson and she respects him.

Joey and Pacey's babies will be able to say 'Grandpa put Grandpa in jail!'

They have their own Princess Leia/Han Solo line. 'I love you/I know', 'You love me/You bug me'

They are able to relate through common problems, with their fathers, with their reputations in the town, with the desire to be their own people outside of Dawson Leery

She doesn't get mad when he calls her Josephine. Only he and Grams get to call her Josephine and Grams only gets to say it because Joey is scared of her!

ChristinaL80

Love that! In my fic, I had Pacey make his father and Mike Potter co-managers of The Icehouse while he went to live with Joey in New York. I thought it was an interesting dynamic since "Grandpa put Grandpa in jail." and both wanted to be better parents.

hshapir2

that's cool


I never even thought about that. That is really neat

what episode was that? I haven't seen all of season 4 in a while

good point


These lines:

good point


thanks. I have never seen Star Wars. I remember Pacey was referred to Hans Solo a few times

agree

good point


agree. Even their non couple scenes had sparks. I found an old scene script about the PJ scene here. There were no screen directions for him leaning into her. They always added stuff to make the scenes better

AsgardianJane

Mind Games, the same scene she says that everyone will be able tell Joey has had sex with Pacey because for once in her life she looks happy.


I love the 'Josephine' thing because it ties back to the pilot when she playfights Dawson for calling her Josephine 'Don't get female on me Joey, I don't want to have to start calling you Josephine', 'Josephine this!' *punches him*. Doesn't that say it all? Pacey gets to call her Josephine, allows her to be female and not the asexual tomboy of her youth. He makes her a woman in ways far, far beyond sex.

JJH85

I love reading all the PJo stuff that I never thought about before. I thought they were a strong couple before, but now that all these little things are being brought up, it just enforces all that.

Just look at the look on Joey/Katie's face when Pacey/Josh leans toward her. She never had those real mushy genuine looks around the other guys.

ChristinaL80

Yeah, especially how Joey looks at Pacey after kisses like in Neverland, Castaways, and after he kisses her in the series finale. She's totally lost in his gaze.

I also love how Joey lifts her head when Pacey comes in for a kiss in Stolen Kisses.

Sorry, I completely missed the votes. It's been a very bad week.

PACEY: (surprised, he turns around to look at her. He smiles a little and looks up at the sky.) What, the stars? Um... no, you can't see them very well, (looking at Joey) but what the hell? I've seen them all before, right?
JOEY: Me too.

PACEY: Uh, yeah. I seem to remember something to that effect.
JOEY: Well, it's-- it's nice. I mean, we try to get together every week because it's easy to get lost in the big city.
PACEY: Well, of course it is. You don't have enough stars to guide you.
JOEY: You should try to come some time.
PACEY: I'll try and do that.
JOEY: Because, Pace, I would-- I would hate that... you not coming had anything to do with me.
PACEY:: With you?
JOEY Or this thing we shared called the romance. You know, I did really badly, and there was bitterness and tears and... recrimination.
PACEY: Yeah. I think I remember that. We dated once, right?
JOEY: Yeah, we did, didn't we? (she moves to the wheel and he helps her over) But, you know, I've practically forgotten now that I've slept with half the football team.
PACEY: Really? Just half? I think that shows incredible restraint on your part.

JOEY: What part?
PACEY: The other Joey. The carefree girl who knows how to drink and play strip poker and....go away on a sailboat for a summer. The girl who can get up in front of a crowd of complete strangers and sing in a beauty pageant.
JOEY: The other Joey?

PACEY: Oh, that.
JOEY: Yes, that.
PACEY: [Snap, clap] Do you remember our particular summer together?
JOEY: Rings a bell or 2.

JOEY: You really worried about that?
PACEY: Of course, I like to think I could get back to being the person I used to be, because in my opinion, he was actually a pretty good guy.
JOEY: You still are, Pacey. Look, you’ve always been this mad-cap genius just waiting for potential to kick in, it just so happened to kick into overdrive. I’m very proud of you.

PACEY: Well what does it matter, because you’re not jealous, right? You know what, I’d like to issue an apology. Take a letter would you? You’re gonna need a pen and paper. ‘Dear Miss Shaw.

JOEY: Really? And why is that?
PACEY: Ok, now you're just milkin' this for all it's worth, aren't you? Fine. [Sighs] I wouldn't have been able to concentrate because every time you're 5 feet away from me or 25 feet away from me, for that matter... there's really only one thing that I want to do.

38. [They get close almost ready to kiss]
PACEY: And here we are again. What is it between the two of us?

6X24 - Must Come To an End

39. JOEY: The only decision left is the one that I need to make with myself-- to stop running... once and for all. I mean, I know who I'm supposed to be with. I've always known.
JEN: Really?
JOEY: Yeah, but then the fear takes over, the free-floating, anxiety-ridden fear in the pit of my stomach that makes me run. Jen, I am completely comfortable running. I really don't know any other way.

40. JEN: Do you feel the sparks?
PACEY: Well, you can never really deny the sparks between the two of us. When she’s around, I just feel more, I feel more alive. I think people underestimate how important that is.

6X24 - Must Come To an End

41. PACEY: You’re off the hook.
JOEY: What?
PACEY: You’re off the hook. I’ve never really put much faith in all that ‘if you love someone set them free’ crap, as evidenced by everything I’ve done in my life up to this very moment, but.. I am determined to be happy, Joey. Happy in this life. And I love you. I mean I always, I have always loved you. But our timing has just never been right, and the way I figure it, time is no man’s friend. So I have to get right with that, and be happy, now. Because this is it, I mean this is all that we get. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from losing Jen, that’s what I’ve learned.
JOEY: Pace, I-
PACEY: Hold on, I’m not done. Because I also want for you to be happy. It’s really important for me that you be happy. So I want you to be with someone, whether it be Dawson, or New York guy, or some man that you haven’t even met yet. But I want you to be with someone who can be part of the life that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel like I feel when I’m with you. So.. I guess the point to this long run-on sentence that has been the last ten years of our lives.. is just that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me. So you’re off the hook.

6X24 - Must Come To an End

42.JOEY: You know, for the record, I don’t want to be let off the hook. Because everything in my life that I’ve done has led me here, right now, and.. the last thing I want, need, or deserve, is to be let off somebody’s hook.
PACEY: Please don’t miss my point here, because I just don’t-
JOEY: And don’t miss mine. Pacey, I love you. You know that. And it’s very real. It’s so real that it’s kept me moving, mostly running from it, never ready for it. And I love Dawson. He’s my soulmate. He’s tied to my childhood, and it’s a love that is pure and eternally innocent. I can’t be let off the hook because I might just get the notion that it’s ok to keep running.

thanks. I totally forgot that from the pilot

I notice she would blush around him a lot. Like when he calls her the number one skittish kitten in his life, she is blushing all over

thanks for the gifs AsgardianJane

found this pretty PJ fanart. Originally, this episode was written with PJ in mind, but was changed. There was a script I posted back in the summer and there's a scene where Audrey calls Pacey out on sleeping with those girls because he was so hurt by Joey and calls him a tragic ****. she also says Joey is not over Pacey and her life is equally pathetic.

37. PACEY: You reminded me of what I’m capable of feeling. It’s like I was…walking around seeing my life through a smudged window, and then I saw you and the smudges were gone. The window was clean.

38. [They get close almost ready to kiss]
PACEY: And here we are again. What is it between the two of us?

39. JOEY: The only decision left is the one that I need to make with myself-- to stop running... once and for all. I mean, I know who I'm supposed to be with. I've always known.
JEN: Really?
JOEY: Yeah, but then the fear takes over, the free-floating, anxiety-ridden fear in the pit of my stomach that makes me run. Jen, I am completely comfortable running. I really don't know any other way.

40. JEN: Do you feel the sparks?
PACEY: Well, you can never really deny the sparks between the two of us. When she’s around, I just feel more, I feel more alive. I think people underestimate how important that is.

41. PACEY: You’re off the hook.
JOEY: What?
PACEY: You’re off the hook. I’ve never really put much faith in all that ‘if you love someone set them free’ crap, as evidenced by everything I’ve done in my life up to this very moment, but.. I am determined to be happy, Joey. Happy in this life. And I love you. I mean I always, I have always loved you. But our timing has just never been right, and the way I figure it, time is no man’s friend. So I have to get right with that, and be happy, now. Because this is it, I mean this is all that we get. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from losing Jen, that’s what I’ve learned.
JOEY: Pace, I-
PACEY: Hold on, I’m not done. Because I also want for you to be happy. It’s really important for me that you be happy. So I want you to be with someone, whether it be Dawson, or New York guy, or some man that you haven’t even met yet. But I want you to be with someone who can be part of the life that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel like I feel when I’m with you. So.. I guess the point to this long run-on sentence that has been the last ten years of our lives.. is just that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me. So you’re off the hook.

42.JOEY: You know, for the record, I don’t want to be let off the hook. Because everything in my life that I’ve done has led me here, right now, and.. the last thing I want, need, or deserve, is to be let off somebody’s hook.
PACEY: Please don’t miss my point here, because I just don’t-
JOEY: And don’t miss mine. Pacey, I love you. You know that. And it’s very real. It’s so real that it’s kept me moving, mostly running from it, never ready for it. And I love Dawson. He’s my soulmate. He’s tied to my childhood, and it’s a love that is pure and eternally innocent. I can’t be let off the hook because I might just get the notion that it’s ok to keep running.
