I can't wait to read about the kisses. :D The kits put me in the warmest, fuzziest mood. :)
Author's Response: :D I can't wait to get to year three, and more kisses! Thanks so much, I'm so happy to share the warm fuzzies.

No, woman, I am not going to review if I'm reading.
Author's Response: D= Not even if I promise twinkissing? Oh...not simultaneously. Yes, it's important for me to be clear.

I just love that Tom still has his passion for the guitar in this story. =3 It's so cute - and him picking up his true-love-for-one-night thing from Markus is both adorable and aggravating. I can't wait for the kits to make music together! =D
Author's Response: Forever and always! The other main passion in his life. ;) Hey, I figure Tom had to pick it up from somewhere influential... he's gonna haul it out later, of course, at a moment quite inopportune. D: I can't wait for the twins to make music, too!

I don't like Marcus *glares at him for talking about girls to Tom*. I'm with Bill on that one. *glares some more*
I'm sorry it's taking you long to write D: Don't rush yourself, I'm sure it'll be great no matter what! *hugs*
Author's Response: Aw, Marcus is a good guy at heart, he just...he has certain values that Tom seems to have imprinted on. 9_9 It's not taking long at all, but I was trying to force it... now I've relaxed, and things are going quite well!

I absolutely love your Tom. Every time I read an update on this fic I always think about how incredibly adorable he is.
Author's Response: Yay, thank you! I'm so happy you love my Tom, he's a pleasure to write. ♥ Hope you keep enjoying!

cutest little chapter ever. :D poor Kasimir. :P I love Bill's little pouncy attitude toward the kitty, it's so silly and cute.
Author's Response: It was becki's idea. ;D I feel for that cat, but...but he just wants to love her! And, um. Prettify her.

Awwww, I want to snuggle Bill. I want them to kiss some more, too. :F Love it!
Author's Response: I want to snuggle him until he cries for mercy! *sends over snuggly kits for you*
I'm writing kissing RIGHT NOW, it is so gratifying, I cannot wait to share! :D

AWWWW Tomi is so cute ♥ I love how he's always at Bill's side, no matter what! *huggles him*
Author's Response: ♥ Glad you find him so, little thug in training that he is. But yeah, he's always got Bill's back!

OH NO. In the last chapter when you said 'painting something Simone doesn't want painted, I never thought- PFT. Oh, poor Kas. I'm sure she was quite pretty, though? :D?
Author's Response: EVERYONE WANTS TO BE PRETTY, RIGHT? Oh, they already had a go at the wall. Bill thought it was time to make improvements on Kas. :D Tom really is no good at talking Bill out of things.

Oh, warning, warning. That was a very quick recovery people. But oh, as soon as he stopped walking at the fire, I froze up and was like oh no!
I'm sorry you're getting stuck on this year. I hate that because I just love it so much. :D
Author's Response: Yup, Tom's definitely not fully recovered, poor baby. And I don't think we've seen the only explosion we're going to see from him...
I'm feeling better about it, I've outlined it and everything, so... I'm glad you're still loving it! I think I'm gonna have to make years three and four shorter, though. D= Next chapter is up! Thank you as always for your reviews. :)

I adore how you write them gently growing up and apart so well - it's really sweet and I wanna squish Tom every time he goes through such internal battles over it all.
Author's Response: Thank you, so much. My twin friend was beta-reading earlier chapters and she was demanding how I got into the psychology of it so well without being a twin myself. I'm just happy to think I can get into their heads well enough to get the dynamic down realistically. ♥ I definitely see Tom as having the more difficult time of it, I see Bill as the mostly-confident one, so sure of himself and his path. Thank you for your review, as always! ♥

Awww, they are such minxes, and every bit as dramatic as I'd imagine kids their age being. But I still don't like Simone. Sorry it took me so long!
Author's Response: Oh my god, yes. The drama. Minxes is totally a good way to put it, too. ...No worries, it's not like you're writing like crazy and working to boot, or anything! 9_9 (You sense Simone is a natural enemy of their love. It's okay.)

OH TOMIIIIIII T_____________T

That was so warm and lovely and sad and adorable. I just love this universe and these twins! They are so lovable and I want to scritch them. :)
Author's Response: We covered a lot of ground in one chapter, yeah? Thank you so much. ♥ I think they would enjoy scritches. And there's more fluff when you're back online and of a mind to read it. :)

Oh, oh. ;_; Tom's pain hurts me. I am so sad for him, that he has such a hard time dealing with everything, and bottles it all up - but I know Bill will take care of his twin, too. =) And um, love later, yes please. =3
Author's Response: He's such the stoic big brother; those ten minutes are no big deal for Bill, but they're everything to him. But Bill will take care of him too.
Love always! And I need to write like a whirlwind to get to that particular love. =D Thank you for reviewing! Next chapter is up and flufftastic~

Ahh, so lovely and fall-themed. I'm so in the mood for this kind of thing right now. *sigh* The scene with the twins in the gazebo was so touching, as was the end. This story always leaves me feeling satisfied. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's like smelling woodsmoke on the air just while writing it. ♥ More flufftastic action to come, and the next chapter is up. ;D

Awww, poor pouty Tom, just can't seem to get his way here. . . can't wait to see what the explodey thing leads too :)
I really like Gordon here--heh, no way my parents were that composed when it was "sex talk" time, LOL :D
Author's Response: Poor pouty Tom indeed...all he wanted was some sexytiems; was that so much to ask?? Ah Bill, always putting clothing first... Gordon is pretty much awesome. I didn't have a frank and helpful sex talk like that, myself. I was given a book. >_>
Date: 11/09/09 02:01 pm Title: Growing Up
I'm glad I thought to look, something told me that my review didn't take last night. But I had to make sure that the kits were reviewed! Must review every wonderful chapter!
The sex talk...bahahaha. I have got to say that Tom's very first question to Gordon was priceless. The bluntness...wonderfully Tom. The whole thing was great, you did a wonderful job with it.
I don't know what kind of explodey thing is coming...but I'm nervous, lol.
And once again, love, love the kits!!
Author's Response: Ahh, I hate that! I reviewed Gaja's Other Halves and it didn't take - probably the same night you had trouble.
Tom is definitely the blunt one. If he wants to know something, he's gonna come out with it, especially if he's just home with family, you know? Thank you so much for your kit-love! You gals keep me posting every day! ♥

Best. Sex talk. Ever. When Tom asked his initial question, I reacted the same way Gordon did and spewed tea at my laptop. That is fabulous. Props to Gordon for handling the rest of the talk so well!
It's also fascinating to see the twins growing into different interests. Seems like Simone and Serra Caulder were correct in the last chapter, and the twins are becoming independent at their own pace. You're doing a fantastic job writing that progression while making it clear that they're not growing apart, exactly, just differentiating. Fabulous as always, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: REALLY? =D =D =D Okay, that made my day. This chapter was a struggle, so I'm over the moon that it's been well-received.
They're becoming more independent than Tom would like, but probably not as independent as the rest of their teachers would prefer! Thanks so much...it's a slow process, but growing up is definitely occurring. ♥ And thanks for your review!
