I've mentioned this on other reviews: I came into the TH / THF fandom in Jan’22. The vast majority of fics I've read are quite old and I'm sure the authors have moved on (and probably wont even see new reviews), BUT I figure why not leave one anyway… I enjoyed this fic and wanted to say thank you for writing and sharing it!

I want to say so much about this but i'm at a loss...brillant comes to mind first, and second...beautiful. Is that a weird description for this fic? Idk but that's what I'm feeling. Fantastic writing from a brillant mind.

I've just discovered this beauty! I loved it so much, how you portrayed both of them, their love, their feelings... it's amazing that Bill always knows what to do and how to deal with Tom!!
Would love to have other snippets of these two! Good Job ;)

Oooh, this was really good! I really am enjoying botTom a lot these days XD And there is not nearly enough botTom fics where the twins are not related on this site :D So I liked this, a lot! Great, great, great! This is sooooo going to my favorites :D
Author's Response: Aww, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Was definitely a good one to write.
Date: 03/26/14 03:18 pm Title: Chapter 6
I love it! Ha! Seriously, so good, Tom is such a great character, so is Bill! But now I really want to hear the story of how they got together! I hope someday you do post that!
Again, great job!!
Author's Response: I hope to post it some day! Thanks for your lovely reviews :D I definitely will keep poking away at the prequel!

Hey look progress! Haha, Tom's just adorable, I love how awkward he is, but that he's still sort of trying to be tough. It's great.
And I totally cheered when you mentioned Top Gear, best show ever!
Author's Response: I do like me some Top Gear, but I love me some Adorable Tom who's trying to be tough but failing. Thank you for your review!
Date: 03/26/14 02:04 pm Title: Chapter 3
Seriously, I love this! Tom's character is amazing, tons of little things about him I can relate to, like the ADHD, being a virgin, etc. I love seeing such a real character, not all confident and experienced, or so childish and naive, like most authors do. And again Bill is just amazing!
Author's Response: I tried to make Tom very real - he's young, and inexperienced, but he's definitely not stupid or impossibly shy. I'm so glad you found that in him :D
Date: 03/26/14 01:51 pm Title: Chapter 2
This is really adorable. I absolutely love their relationship and the way Bill interacts with Tom, it's just about as perfect as a relationship can get. It seriously makes me wish I could find a guy like that, haha. But honestly, this is so well written and I can't wait to read the rest.
Author's Response: Awww, thank you for your kind words! Tom's very much in love with Bill, and I think he's rather glad he landed him :P

I came back to THF to read, because I do miss reading fics and being awake until the wee hours, when it was a fic worth reading.
It only figures it was one of yours again that made me have as little sleep as possible, with these two characters you created here.
I rp a lot and I've played autistic Tom, and while he reminds me of things I see Tom do here, this one Tom has made me just love him just as much as Bill does.
The fact that Bill has gotten to know Tom this much, and adjust to him, just makes me loved reading their dynamic even more and Tom's reactions to everything Bill tried/did/say. I felt like I could read about them forever. It was sad when I got to the end, but I loved it so much and it's going into my favorites. Not sure why you didn't like writing this, because it flowed beautifully.
But I will read whatever you write for sure. Thank you for writing this amazing story, and I'd have been so honored if this had been written for me and I would read it again and again and again! :3
Author's Response: I'm so sorry I never responded to this. I just... never found the words to say how wonderful this review is, and how much it meant to me. *hugs* I'm so glad you loved it. I think I found this story hard to write because it was so much on a deadline, but the next one won't be. I hope. And I love that you love my Tom. He was definitely precious to write.

this was a good story!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D
Date: 01/03/14 05:52 am Title: Chapter 6
OMG! I'm sorry, reading this took me a lot longer than I planned! With a lot of stuff happening before and around Christmas I only now got the time to read it.
I must say I really enjoyed it. Thank you for writing me such a long and adorable story! It was nice to see the regular Tom being older and topping + Bill being younger and bottoming thing reversed. I really enjoy botTom. :)
The kisses and the sweet cuddling of them was really adorable in my opinion. The sexual tension that kept building up also added a lot to the fic, making it both cute and hot at the same time.
I also really liked the end. The way Tom was so shy all the time and then when they did it, he really let go and enjoyed it.
Thank you again for writing me such a great Secret Santa fic! I loved it. :)
Author's Response: Hallo, my secret Santa recieptent! I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I was worried that you wouldn't because it's Shaven Headed LA Bill that I picked, rather than pretty femme Bill, but eh. I figured I'd run with it. If you're interested, there's a sequel maybe coming out in the spring, but it's up to you :D Thank you for your kind review!
Date: 01/03/14 03:08 am Title: Chapter 6
HAHAHAHhaha loved the ending! Very detailed and well written story, interesting characters. I love how aware Bill is, of himself, of Tom, of everything.
Author's Response: Bill's a fucking genius when it comes to Tom, I swear to God. He knows just what to do :D Thank you for your kind review! I'm glad you liked it. :D
Date: 12/28/13 12:02 pm Title: Chapter 6
Loved this. It would be great to have a prequel to see how Bill and Tom met (which is hinted at in the story) and how they got from that meeting to Tom being Bill's boyfriend.
Author's Response: I did actually write (half of) that exact story (Bill and Tom's first meeting etc) but my muse, predictably, took a hike half way through. I maybe will have it up some time this year, if she co-operates again. :D I'm glad you enjoyed the story though!
Date: 12/28/13 06:28 am Title: Chapter 6
The ending made me laugh and the whole sex scene was sweet and in-keeping with the story you set up. Great job! Decent botTom is a rare commodity!
Author's Response: BotTom is my favourite kind of Tom. XD I'm glad you enjoyed this whole story and the last chapter. I have half a sequel written (that was actually supposed to be the Secret Santa itself but my muse took a hike midstory), so maybe you'll come back for more (hopefully decent) botTom and ridiculously warm and fuzzy Bill!

I love that it's just a random but perfect day for them with less pressure, and all the little details about their backgrounds that you drop into it.
Author's Response: I did debate making it an uber special Christmas day but eh. I think Bill had the right idea. Less pressure, less intensity, less likely to fail. And thank you - yet again - for such awesome reviews. I love getting them!
Date: 12/28/13 05:14 am Title: Chapter 3
Tom's cracking me up. I love how beautifully Bill handles him.
Author's Response: Bill's got a degree in handling Tom Freakouts by now. It's part of the job when it comes to being his boyfriend. Manfriend. Lover. Person of interest. XD
Date: 12/28/13 05:04 am Title: Chapter 2
Really enjoyed this section - Tom's a very realistic teenager and Bill has a fabulous out look on/approach to sex that more people need.
Author's Response: Bill's outlook on sex, I will admit, is awesome. I wish more people were like that. He's just so accepting! And Tom's just... Tom. He's ridiculous. Adorable but ridiculous. Thank you for the review!
Date: 12/28/13 04:46 am Title: Chapter 1
I love me this sort of Tom and Bill - if this is really your first AU, you're doing great with the detailing. Impressed that Bill's managing Knightsbridge as a student though!
Author's Response: My one flaw in this was making Bill a wealthy little student XD I felt he needed to be wealthier than Tom just to create a power dynamic. Kind of averted in that I do say that his flat is paid for by his parents - "even [a student] from Knightsbridge who has his flat paid for by Mummy and Daddy" but yeah. Little moneyed Bill. Glad you enjoyed it though :D

Author's Response: Whee! Thank you for your kind review :D I'm glad you enjoyed it.
