A/N: So, I feel I have been remiss in my story posting lately. Especially in light of the events of Season 5. This is just a little something that I will (hopefully) keep adding to as the season progresses. It's basically a collection of episode add-ons that give my Paric spin/version to various goings on. At this stage they are all Eric's P.O.V. but that may change.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

"You gave yourself to me, completely."

This time the tone was accusing, not half-mocking; this time it was Pam who said them, not Sookie.

Pam, the only person in world who could say that and know it was absolutely true.

Only she hadn't said it; he was dreaming.

Again.

Ever since Nora had informed him and Bill that they could never go back, that they had to cut all ties with their previous existence, he'd been plagued by thoughts of Pam.

Thoughts that he'd tried desperately to ignore: if he could leave Sookie without a backwards glance then he should be able to leave Pam as well.

At least, that was what he had been telling himself.

He'd even f*cked Nora in an effort to prove to himself how little he cared about anything or anyone and he had enjoyed it.

Until thoughts of Pam had invaded his mind once more and he'd felt like somehow he'd betrayed her.

Again.

After everything they had been through, she deserved more than how he had treated her. She deserved better than him disappearing on her without a word, with yet another woman no less.

Hell, she'd probably think it was her fault and he wasn't sure that he could live with that.

His choices and actions had all led up to this moment, if anything Pam had tried to prevent this from happening. She probably would have succeeded too, if he hadn't momentarily lost his mind outside the Moon Goddess Emporium.

He had regretted the words the moment he'd spoken, but he thought he had all the time in the world to make it better.

Over a thousand years of existence had made him cocky, reckless even and now it would cost him his identity.

Now it would cost him Pam.

And, for the first time, he found the cost of his actions too steep.
