I think Else is Tom's half sister... Dunno why, it sort of just came to me, you know. Then again, I love trying to figure out what's gonna happen in a story before it actually does. I love it more when I'm right, though.. ;) That was kind of random... Sorry!
Seriously, though, that ending...why didn't you have them kiss? It was the perfect moment, and then it just went "blah" when Bill pulled away! Then again, you did make it all better again when saying that Bill smiled because that was what Tom liked.. It's a roller-coaster ride, and I'm definitely up for it! ;) But please (or should I say “prreasse”?) put some hot Tom/Bill stuff in soon...I have cravings! XD
Last, but definitely not least, I have one thing to say to Alfonse: Keep you're filthy hands off of him! Shoving our (or Tom's, to be exct) pretty little (uhm..wait..what?) Bill?! I mean, are you fucking serious?! That man deserves a thorough beating! I vote for Tom to be the one to hand it to him! ;) I just KNOW he'd like that.. And after, Alfonse can say "This one time, Tom Kaulitz punched me in the face, and it was awesome!" I know he'd like that too. You see, it's a win-win situation! :D
Author's Response: The one downfall for me replying to reviews is the simple fact I get chatty, and I end up giving things away. Curse my chatter-box ways~~~ So as for Else, that's for you to decide. In the next couple chapters, I'll either deny your comment or rejoice with you then~~ xD
Why didn't I have them kiss? Well, so you would ask. XD Bwaha~ I suppose to make everyone cringe. To illustrate that inhibitions still exist between the two of them, and its not going to happen so easily. I'm a bit of a tease, huh. .___. *giggles* I'll see what I can do about their relationship progressing!
"This one time, Tom Kaulitz punched me in the face, and it was awesome!" Dude, that -line- was awesome. xD I can imagine how many people would definitely take a punch from Tom as a gift from the gods. Oh lawls~ Thanks for your sweet, sweet review, I just smiled so widely~~~ Thanks for reading and supporting this story!! *hearts* ♥

Author's Response: Thanks for reading~~~ Glad you liked it! =3

Oh how sweet that they almost kissed. The pull is there, they just have to stop fighting it. I was angry that Tom didn't deck Alfonse, no one lays a hand on Bill!! Oh and poor Gustav, unrequited love is miserable. Great update hon, I look forward to the next chapter. *send you some winter rain*
Author's Response: I was angry Tom didn't deck Alfonse too. >.>;; Haha~ Thanks for the winterness and also thanks for reading and reviewing! <3

i was thinking about mistletoe and how badly i wished it was in this chapter exactly when Bill mentioned it~
Author's Response: Mistletoe and Christmas go together like Simon and Garfunkel. Needs one another~ xD Thanks for reading!

Aww the ending .. Sweet

God I'm proud of that kid

Eep!
>.> .... <.< ...... Sorry for the fangirl moment, but I adore the update! I absolutely am in love with this story and it's so sad that its in the last 1/3 of this. But, at the same time, I'm extremely happy to see Bill and Tom progress.
Oh! Alfonse! *growls at him**tackles**shakes like a ragdoll* xD Bad Alfonse! Bad! OoOoOo! And Tomi gettin' all protective! Haha I absolutely LOVE Tom in this story if I haven't made that clear before.
And poor Gusti! ;-; Felicia doesn't know just how amazing Gusti is yet, I guess :( But to hit on Tom?! Bill's Tom?! xD She's a cute character though, I like her, even though she was hittin' on Tomi. She walked with Gustav in the end anyway.
That poor little girl with her mom not there T_T That was sad :/ But she nailed it! So that's good. I love the underdogs! UNDERDOG GIRL FTW! O_o
But my favorite part, for some odd reason, was when Tom showed up at the festival and pushed his way through the crowd.... >.> ... What? It was cute! xD
And the fact that Bill was hoping that 'TD' was there and he was the whole time! It's so... well, I don't know, but it's great.
Once again, I love the update! So update as soon as possible!
Author's Response: No apologies are necessary, i happen to love fangirl moments, as least in relation to stories and the like! I love that you love the update, and it makes me all warm and fuzzy. :D
I always worried my Tom wasn't strong enough (character wise), so it pleases me you like him! Yay! As for Gusti and Felicia, yes, unfortunately, I don't think she realises just how lovely and cute Gusti is, but we can all hope she does soon. Try and forgive her for hitting on Tomi, she's a confused apple pie. =0
I particularly enjoy that you pick up on details most don't mention. You have taken to relating to a wide range of my characters, not just Bill and Tom, and for that I thank you. Else had her shining moment, and I'm glad you cheered for her.
Thanks so very mcuh for your totally awesome and sweet review, you're a total doll. *sends hugs and treats* ♥

Well, that's Alfonse taken care of. xD Bill didn't seen terribly gutted by it.
I'm getting so antsy for them to akdflakdjfl idk, something. I want. That's an awful presumptuous thing for me to say, but these characters! Yeah, so looking forward to next chapter.
Author's Response: .___. Well... *wants to say it but doesn't* Alfonse...! Alfonse...! Yeah. Alfonse. That's all I have to say regarding that.
Well miss, I'm not sure I know how to write characters engaging in 'akdflakdjfl', how does one 'akdflakdjfl'? I'm not even sure whether that is an adjective, a verb, or what. XDDDD I don't know if I can do that, but I'll see what I can do about the proximity issues quite soon. I love how it frustrates both reader and myself alike, but I think I secretly wanted it to be this way all along. *hides sheepish, guilty expression* Thanks for reading and reviewing, just lovely. ♥

Hehe, well I'm glad to *read* about Christmas in July! :DD
That was a wonderful chapter! Omg, they are so close to finding out who each other are O.O
Author's Response: Glad you like it! I just adore Christmas, so its nice to revisit the holiday spirit at this ridiculous time of year. Thanks for reading and reviewing! :D
Date: 07/13/10 10:06 pm Title: XI: You've Got to Slowly Start Speeding Up
Awwww, I loved this so much! Bye, bye, Alfonse. You might not have intended him to be a jack-ass, but it kinda fitted him. He was in the way of Tom/Bill after all. Heehee. ;)
I'm glad things seem to be getting better for Tom, I'm sure it'll be easier for him now that he got what his father intended to give him. I love how anxious Bill was to have him there at the festival and how happy when he spotted him in the crowd. I loved that Felicia ran after Gustav, hopefully now we'll see some progress there.
Thanks for the wonderful update, honey!
Author's Response: Ah, already people are waving him goodbye? Anxious, anxious, aren't we~ xD
Oh BillxTom fluff, how even I want them just all over each-other by now! >___< I too, hope Tom's life will now sort itself out, no doubt his slice of the wealth returned will help him on his way. *wink* Oh Gustav and Felicia~~ what to do about these too? I can't rant without revealing, so~ T__T Boohoo. I can only hope for progress as well! Thanks for reviewing~muahh~~~ <3 ^---^
Date: 07/13/10 09:43 pm Title: XI: You've Got to Slowly Start Speeding Up
I'm quite sure this will be the first review I've left for this fic {& no where near the last, since I plan on reviewing for chapters to come}.
The last time you updated
{which from the beginning author notes, was about a week or so ago} is when I finally took the time to sit and read all of the chapters. Plenty of times I've seen the banner & read the summary {both of which are wonderful btw ^^} but I really never got around to it until then.
AND THANK-FREAKING-GOODNESS I DID (:
I don't think I would be able to convey to you how much I enjoy this story already
{s e r i o u s l y}
I love indulging myself into this alternate universe you have created, & you're writing is quite exquisite (:
{even more so to me, since writing seems to be something that doesn't come very easily XD}
I could go back into the previous chapters & pick out things I liked and add my little two-sense, but I think I'll just start with this chapter, & continue on as the story develops (:
*decides to stop my pointless ranting and get on with the review* :D
One word comes to my mind when I read the email in the beginning, "breakthrough"
the suggestion of meeting and adding a face to the person behind the screen, I'm pretty sure that will come into play later on.
{obviously they have to figure out sometime, that's one of the points of this fic XD} & then the ending, with Bill & Tom's little, "moment" :D
I can't believe Alfonse let his anger get the best of him, shoving Bill to where he fell. If i was around I definitely would have given Alf. a piece of my mind XD {well maybe not, I might have been a bit shocked and scared, but my thoughts would have been about giving him some lip XD}
The progression between Bill & Tom, I could reiterate over and over to you, is at a perfect timing, in my opinion. (:
Nothing seems too slow-paced, & of course nothing seems rushed. It all seems....well, I guess the word would be, "real" or maybe "plausable." or a mix between the two, 'rausable'....*silence*....I shall never try to combine two words again XD
My fan-fic lovin' self will be anxiously awaiting another update *heart*
{I have to write "heart" because whenever I try to make a heart symbol and post the review, for some reason it never posts :P}
P.S. In case I didn't make it 100% clear, I love this fic :D & I love the long chapters. In a previous "AN" you mentioned how long chapters are harder for the writer, yet enjoyable for the reader. I definitely can agree with the fact that longer chapters give me more to think about :D
-----Samantha (:
Author's Response: Whew, where to begin! Your review is simply lovely, darling, just lovely. Um, 'rausible' is definitely the greatest word I've seen in a long time, and I think we must be sockmates because I love to squish words together too. xD Bwahaha. (And yes, I really just did use the word 'sockmates'.)._____.;; It's okay if you didn't review the last chapters, the important thing is you're here now, of course! I always love hearing new people have joined me on this journey.
Terribly glad you don't think I'm moving too slow! That was one of my many intentions for this fic, as I've mentioned numerous times to numerous people. We all don't just drop into each-other beds and by chance, into each other hearts so easily. Also so very happy my chapter lengths work for you, it's definitely a work out, but I love finishing each update as much as readers love reading them, so it's win-win all around.
Oh, you have trouble with hearts? Have you tried using the html code? Typing in a normal heart just won't do, I know, it's very tedious. You have to write the code out so it'll appear as you like. Unless you've tried that, not too sure. Hope it helps. And for that, I heart you back! ♥ ♥ ♥ Thanks for your wonderful review, and after so many quick encounters on the update page, I'm so very glad you stopped by to read my story. Thanks for reading and reviewing! <3 *gives you cake* ^------^

like why did they hate each other before. sorry i was unclear!!!!!! *bad dobby bad dobby*
Author's Response: Ooh, well Bill, in this story is a very judgmental person; he has known Tom from school, and Tom was part of a nasty crowd that wasn't good to Bill's friends or other students. Bill, in turn, wanted nothing to do with Tom, finding him annoying and stuck up. Tom dislikes Bill because of the way Bill consistently treated him, though his hatred wasn't nearly as strong. Eventually, as you can see, they've begun to come to an understanding. *pats* =D

so they kissed? yayness!!! now tom is gonna leave Karla, so all that's left is for Bill to realize how much of an ass Alfonse is and leave him. yeah i really don't like Alfonse........why don't bill and tom like eachother? i totally don't remember if you told us or not.....
Author's Response: Ah no, sweetheart, that was a dream. (The touchy feely bits between Tom and Bill) No real kiss, not yet, anyway! Boohoohooo. T__T Hope you're not too sad. Umm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by why they don't like each other, and if you're talking about in the present (as of chapter 10), I have to argue that instead, I feel they do, genuinely like each other. O__O Do you mean, as in love, or? I'd love to answer your question but to be honest I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Anyways, thanks for reading and reviewing. <3

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR STORY.
I chose to read this story instead of studying for my biology-exam, so you should be honoured.
You really take your time to let the story and the characters develop. It's not one of those bang-and-it-was-eternal-love stories, they have no depth and they really suck. But this really keeps you reading.. :D
But get rid of that Alfonse-guy, he's really getting on my nerves.
You did a good job on letting Karla dissapear, she didn't even deserve to be in such a great story anyway..
Please update soon. I'm yearning for the next chapter. I might die and then I'll never know how it ends.. Poor me.
xHilde
Author's Response: *blinks* Uh, hell ya I'm honoured! =0 *sends sweets your way* There's nothing better than opening up a review and reading in capital letters 'I love your story'; just amazing. *grins* I hope your studies weren't too badly affected though. T___T I can sympathise though, seeing as I read a lot more fanfiction than I did study notes during my finals in April. o.o
Yes, yes and yes, I absolutely wanted to write a story in which characters aren't so feebly thrown together, the plot extrinsic, if a plot exists at all. Most of the time it's pretty unrealistic fantasy, in which it is love at first sight. Sometimes it's love at 483rd sight, and for that, I wanted to write.
I doubt anyone will be sad to see Alfonse go, but then, was he ever really meant to be loved at all? All the more reason for Bill to slip out of his arms and hop into Tom's.
I will definitely try to update soon, and honour aside, I'm totally glad you chose to review and support this story. I won't let you die, this story will live on. (As I hope you do, too. o.o) I send my love! ♥
Date: 07/08/10 04:53 am Title: X: You've Got to Be Dreaming
I dont like Karla, she is a bitch.
Tom shouldn't go hom immediately after the proceeding
Author's Response: Good thing she's leaving. =0 Thanks for reading~
Date: 07/07/10 08:46 pm Title: X: You've Got to Be Dreaming
awwwww, this story is very endearing. i truly hope that after you get rid of Tom's horrid idea of a girlfriend, that you somehow get Bill's terrible excuse for a boyfriend to either leave the country with her, or pass him off to some other place. then again, al could get really upset when he sees the new mural and stomp off elsewhere for his own personal pity party. i will be awaiting your next installment, but i do hope i won't have to wait too long. it's so intriguing and addictive.
Author's Response: *pets her neurotic, pitiful little Alfonse* We'll see what happens, in regards to that one! I'm so happy for your review, it's really sweet of you! Thank you for reading and liking this story, it makes me happy so. =) I'll update soon!
Date: 07/07/10 02:36 am Title: X: You've Got to Be Dreaming
Even though it was only a dream, I'll forgive you because I love this story so fucking much. It really is one of my favorites on this whole site. I'm selfishly glad nothing happened to this story :D
Author's Response: I'm so glad I'm forgiven! o.o I don't know how I would handle it if I wasn't. Oh goodness, you're too kind~ T___T Thank you for loving this story, and reviewing! *sends hugs*
Date: 07/07/10 01:06 am Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
And wuh oh. I think in the first paragraph you mean 'despise', not 'despite'.
Author's Response: Oh, I probably did - how embarrassing. Thank you!
