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!

Because you left the end there ... but I'm smiling because Tom and Bill managed to connect at the end. Do not leave my imagination the continuation, because it is very useless .... It was such a beautiful and very sad story to know about the emotional state of the soldiers who return home alive, wounded and .... Thank you!!

Tom was easy to convince, I thought he would send Bill away, but I guess he saw empathy and sincerity in his eyes and was too tired to stress with Bill.

How sad .... Tom and his missing leg ... that's why he has a service dog. Andreas is a typical rich boy like Bill, but Bill is awakening empathy for Tom and in general for soldiers and war veterans who, in addition to losing their innocence, lost a part of their body "literally".

I really enjoyed this story. I'm re-reading it again as I see you have a posted a sequel and I wanted to get reacquainted with the characters. I did wonder, however, why you didn't make up places where Tom and Georg were deployed to? I know you are in the army and can't put actual places, but since this is fan fiction, why not have something made up instead of the *****? Just something I wondered while reading.
I still enjoyed this very much and I am now going to begin the sequel.
Author's Response: I thought about just putting somewhere silly like...Canada, just to be funny 😂.But its just a habit of mine from when I was in, to strike things out and just leave blanks.

this was a really good story!
Author's Response: Thank you. 😊

this was a nice ending though it feels like is unfinished idk ...anyway, the story was good! thank you for writing this! n_n
Author's Response: I wanted to leave the ending open to interpretation, so the reader can imagine what they wanted. So I added a very vague and unfinished ending.

I'm in tears...I imagined all and ...how awful
Author's Response: Just a glimpse at what veterans carry with them when they have PTSD.

Finally caught up! Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I loved the ambiguous ending. 😍

Bravo. The entire story was well done.
Author's Response: Thank you. I know it's not the ending that everyone wanted, but I liked that it leaves so much to the imagination.

Hey!
Really nice story! I loved the Idea, because I think you can do so much with Military-Topic.
At some points there was a lack of feedlings and deepnes - And there was not much of 'Show, don't tell. There really were a few things that I was looking for, but couldnt found, but okay - it was still a good story!
I would like if there would be a sequel - maybe you'll write one? ^^
Hope you understand my bad english ;)
Author's Response: I'm not going to lie. Some of the chapters I wrote when I was on a 24 hour shift....and very sleep deprived...so I'm sorry about some parts. But over all, I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Honestly it's perfect, great story to be left to interpretation. My favorite line: "my body is trying to survive...with a mind that's trying to die" Survivors guilt is a bitch.
Thank you for a great story. I certainly look forward to more from you.
Author's Response: Thank you. I didn't want to focus to lie on a romantic love beatween them. I wanted the attention to lie on Tom's depression and his decision to move on with life. I left the ending the way it was, because you can imagine them as having a platonic friendship with that hand holding, or a subtle romantic one.

Man, damn good chapter. I actually felt like I was watching a movie! Thank you.
Author's Response: No, thank you. Its's nice to see that you liked it.
Date: 02/27/16 05:57 am Title: Chapter 10
Beautiful ending! Although I would like to see a little bit a romantic love, too... :)
Author's Response: I totally imagined them as a couple at the end, but I wanted the story to focus mainly on how Tom decides to take the first step towards battling his depression and his PTSD.
Date: 02/26/16 06:09 pm Title: Chapter 10
Beautiful ending, and my imagination shows me a lot of how things will go from now on xD
Author's Response: Thanks. I wanted the story to be more about how Tom is making the effort to get out of his depression, not so much about a romantic love. I'm glad you liked it.

I'm still reading, just had a depression episode for a while.
I love how you put in military slang & their meanings and I really love how you write the fact Tom has a dog, it's proven more every day how crucial they can be for a veteran. Thanks for a great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you. And where I am currently stationed, they do have K9 units where dogs practice their skills in helping veterans. I did want to shed light on depression especially when it deals withVeterans and how it relates to PTSD from going to war. I'm glad to see you are ok, as some others don't get to make it out alive.
