Actually I have a bit to complain about now... sorry. But I hate the way you characterized Tom and Bill like this.
Tom IS a gentle, kind and loving person. Beneath those rough gangsta clothes and trashtalking about devouring all kind of girls is just bullshit. It's the image created a long, long time ago and he's kind of stuck in it. Seks sells, right? So I don't like the way you painted him in this fic, altough you've written it out perfectly fine.
Then there's also the dog thing, there are actually four dogs now (but I don't care about that) it's just that Tom loves them, too. Maybe you just wrote it like this while you were aware of the contrary, but I still don't like it. Maybe I'm being too adroit, but I still felt like saying it out loud.

Anyway, I still liked the way you've written it out, as I said. You definitly are an incredible writer!

Author's Response: Hahaha! I know what my Tom is like, but you know, he is 'my' Tom in this series and so he is the way I want him to be. I don't think writers always try to copy realty. I've created a character according to my rules and if it is consistent then I am satisfied. My Tom doesn't like the other dogs and is a brute. You are of course perfectly entitled to hate him :))) Also, if you go on reading the Keepers Series, you may want to prepare yourself to lot worse things than these. But please remember, it's fiction, and most of the time it has nothing to do with reality.rnThanks for reading though. :)))

Hmmm yeah so I read this one as well, even though I don't even know why I am doing this. Usually, if I don't like the amount of angst and questionable relationship between then twins, I just don't read the story. But you have something here, your writing and characters just keep making me come back and read this, no matter how painful it may be.

I will be honest and say that I can not enjoy this too much until I am assured that they do love each other, for real. I see that on Bill's side, as I said. And you were right - this installment does begin to show Tom's side and emotions towards Bill, even though it's still not perfect and so distracted by this physical freedom he has. Bill's character is more endearing, although I awe at Tom. I can't help it, you make him so good and so bad at the same time. It's unbelievable.

And huh, it's interesting how you can't imagine Tom not fucking around with others, whereas I can imagine it so well (it makes me want to discuss it with you further, lol, too bad these comment options can't allow the conversation-type). Tom is such a shy guy, and actually I believe that in RealLife he is not as wild as he presents him to be. But I see that the universe you created obliges him to be this self-centred passionate beast, it's the way his character is in this story, and it's understandable, - otherwise, this story wouldn't be raising so many contradictive thoughts and feelings - at least from me. I hate it and at the same time I see that it is so right in this universe, and the fact that I agree to all this makes me hate it again - just because I want them to be happy together (and only together) so much and yet I take them as you give them - in this highly complicated state which will hardly ever change, because Tom is what he is, and Bill is what he is, too.

But I love Bill without any hate towards his character, at least this. He is precious, and things he does are precious too. Although I didn't really understand why he was in such a fragile state. But maybe I get it now as I think about it - it's his way of dealing with problems. Just like it's Tom's way to have automatic sex, Bill's way is to close in on everything, except his brother. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking because Tom is still not fully his and the moment when Bill turns his head away from Tom's further kisses makes me think that maybe Bill can't really deal with such Tom at that very moment. But then again, the comfort Tom must be providing of just being there might be enough for Bill.

Agrh, see, this storyline is too complicated for me, and I build up my own thoughts about all this. I judge them and hate them and love them. Excruciating, really. And yet, I can't wait for your further installments. I don't know, but you just have me captivated here.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you decided to read this. Although I created this universe and it makes (almost) perfect sense to me, I see how it's disturbing you and I see why it makes you uncomfortable. It all began with His Brother's Keeper, and when I wrote that I wanted a situation which is a bit sick. Idk if you remember, but that story is really perverted, that's the most perverted piece of writing I have ever done. When it became featured I just didn't know what to think. Obviously, this whole universe must be a bit twisted too. rnHahaha! Yeah, it would be great if we could dicuss this further, but I will still write it down here: so when I say this is my ultimate twc, I mean I tried to imagine a scenario this could work creadibly in RL. And in RL twc is something unhealthy, sick, perverted. I had to acknowledge this aspect, and so Bill is a bit crazy here. Totally obsessed with Tom. Try to imagine someone who is so infatuated that he is blind for anything else but for what that other person wants. Bill is catering to Tom's every need, because he wants Tom to have anything he could possibly want. It's a kind of worshipping. A personality cult. But. They question is this. Would Bill still do this if he didn't know 120 per cent that Tom loves him and only him. The answer is yes. And that's why it's so painful, I guess. Bill can't help it, he is hopelessly and irrevocably in love. It could destroy him under different circumstances, but right now, Bill is happy as a clam. Perfectly happy. Because he is reassured of Tom's love and at the same time he can devote himself to his favourite hobby: arranging scenarios where Tom feels great. Do I make sense? Bill is happy in this situation, in this universe. Those girls don't bother him at all. They are cyphers in his game. He arranges them for his and Tom's pleasure. As in His Brother's Keeper, where the girl was nothing but a hole (sorry, for being crude) all the others are just that. Holes for Tom to stick it in. Bill's greatest sadness is when he can't give Tom what Tom needs. Right now, he is depressed, totally drained, and he is incapable to share his body with Tom, that's why he sends him to the whorehouse. No matter what, Tom just has to get his fix of sex. Tom is almost disgustingly spoilt, and he knows it. But. And again this is where it becomes painful: would Tom keep this situation up even if he was not deeply and irrecovably in love with Bill? Would he keep using his brother, using his unconditional love? The answer is, of course, yes. So I guess what makes this universe so controversial, so fucked up, is that they are balancing on a tightrope. That thin line is the only place where this can work so that both parties are happy. Any other way would be pure hell.rnHuff. I needed this. I really did. I'm writing the prequel to all the stories in the universe and I have to sort things out again and again. Sometimes I don't even know what it's about exactly, but by explaining it to you, I can see it more clearly I guess. I hope you don't mind this long response. If you are interested, I would love to read your insights on this universe. You helped me a great deal by writing down your thoughts. *hugs*

aw it's adorable!! I love this oneshot and I love this series! update more stories please!

Heartbreaking. And beautiful.

I like it...but I'm really, really confused. I have no idea what's going on. I did catch the stalker reference and I know about that. Everything after that I'm lost

Haha. Bring on the angst, I guess. It's kinda cute though. The Tom from Wolverine was downright scary (kinda), but in this one he's so sweet. Haha. I think I'd break my phone too though.
