Such an adorable story! I really enjoyed it. A couple of things that happened seemed a little too convenient, and you contradicted yourself once (saying Bill had never had a relationship, then bringing Danny into the story), but those things are easy to look past and see the rest of the story, which is wonderful.

Poor Georg! I can't even imagine... I'm so glad they worked it out in the end, though.

Author's Response: Heee, glad you enjoyed it!

This is such a wonderful story. Everything fit into the setting so well, and the characters were completely believeable. The concept was unique, as well... Not the rebel and the innocent, but the fact that the war had already been won. I've never read a story that took place after the battle, so this was new to me, and it certainly doesn't disappoint!

I would love to know what happens next, should you ever feel inclined to write a sequel.

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much. I did love writing this fic initially because I adore the period so I\'m really thrilled you felt it was believable :D I still have the sequel part written >.< I need to get on that.

Guh... I forgot how amazing this story is... Every single chapter just hits you.

These two just can't win! It's so depressing... The whole time Bill was in New York, I couldn't stop thinking, "Something is going to go wrong. It just has to. That's how it works for them." Heh. I'm holding out for a happy ending, though!

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much! I\'m glad you\'re still keeping up with it :)

I hope Bill goes, I really do. It just isn't fair to keep them apart like this. If that much time apart - with no contact, even - didn't let them get over each other, it's real.

I absolutely love this story, and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I believe their love is real, not that it makes it easier though :)

Oh, where do I start? I've absolutely adored this story since I started reading it (I don't remember how far along it was at that point, but I know it's been a while). I do apologize for not reviewing sooner.

I'm so glad everything's turning out! You've had me on so many emotional ups and downs the whole time - it's nice to have a steady upward trend in the past few chapters, haha.

I'm looking forward to the epilogue, even though part of me wishes this would never end.

Heartbreaking and beautiful.

I actually loved the point of view switch, and I followed it easily. It added dimension to the story that we wouldn't have had if it had been all Tom's point of view.

Improvement wise, I'd say just try to explain feelings in a more novel way, less cliche. Pain engulfing the heart, the heart bursting into flames - these were once very vivid, but they've been used so many times that the meaning has faded. Just try to think of a different, new way to say the same thing.

Don't let that get you down, though. I have the same problem, just like a lot of other people. This story really was wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes.

There's nothing not to love about a cruise fic - especially this one! I loved every word of it, and I'm actually glad you didn't reveal whether or not they're twins. They didn't need to know, and therefore neither do we.

The reactions of other people to Tom and Bill's relationship were priceless. I think they're my favorite part of the fic.

I'm so glad they're going to be together. It was a wonderful ending, and this story as a whole is a favorite, for sure.

Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m so pleased that you think so! Yep, that was my intention from the very start - I planned to never reveal, one way or the other. I\'m so glad you got that! I think it frustrated a lot of people.

XD Well, after Tom had been a straight bachelor for so long, it was shocking to everyone to find him in a committed gay relationship, you know?

Thank you! I\'m really happy you enjoyed it so much, and I really appreciate your review.

That was so beautiful... The epilogue has me crying a little. But yeah, I laughed multiple times while I read this, and there were just as many happy and cute moments, too.

I loved the concept, and you told the story so well. I was wary of this, because I normally avoid Major Character Death, but I'm glad I read it.

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much - I\'m so glad you tried it despite the warning and that it did make you laugh! I started feeling guilty when people just kept crying and crying @_@

This is such a sweet story, just perfect.
