How Bill dreams Tom's music and is chasing after the lyrics.
Lovely story! :]

I really liked this. A sequel would be nice but I love it just where it is without a sequel. You do great work and I'm really enjoying reading through your collection. Keep em coming.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked this one, and the others that you're reading. They're definitely going to keep coming. =)

omg XD haha, I actually wanted to see what else you had written, and I'll probably get around to reading most of your stuff (eventually) but I clicked on this, and wow. I don't think this is crack at all. It's like, idk, fluff but not fluff. lol, if that makes any sense. :) And I love it XD
I adore this, love it really n_n haha, I love you hun n_n when I'm supposed to be working, I'm reading this lovely work. I love the idea, how you have this written, and yeah n_n Bill seems a little flat, but at the same time 3D, if that makes any sense, which I bet it doesn't. Like, we know stuff about him and how he talks and thinks and all, but there aren't many that many descriptions in the way he looks or acts, if that makes sense. Like a casual thought on his hair (which I'm not sure which one of his bizillion styles I'm picturing him) But that's just me being weird at whatever time this is (late). I love how you dived into his thoughts, though. His thought process was so fun to read, how it kind of divvied off, but not really and love how Margaret mentioned the words being lyrics and well, idk, I love the whole thing :)
He could just not come back, but he enjoys his weekly visits with Margaret almost as much as his nightly visits from the boy he wouldn’t be able to recognize, passing him by on the street.
hehe, but he was able to recognize Tom n_n did you put that line in there on purpose? lol, well obviously, since it's in there, but it contradicts, in a cool fun way. Like he doubted himself in recognizing Tom, when really he had nothing to worry about n_n hehehe, I’m rambling. Lovely job :)
lol, and the description of Tom, well it seemed just like Tom. Especially with his legs out like that. I have a lovely picture in my mind because of how you wrote that and just the few other things. Like, because you were able to just use a little amount of writing to make him your lovely character, I love it n_n hehe, and the thing with love, seeing it. Oh lord, I think I might just copy the story and post it as the rest of the comment because each time I re-look at it, I find something new I like :)
Author's Response: You know, I didn't even realize that there were no physical indicators of Bill. That's probably partially because I was really drugged up on Benadryl at the time (awesome new allergies) and partially because I didn't see him as Bill Kaulitz in my head. He was just this novelist living in New York City. Jeans and a t-shirt and longish black straight hair. But then I guess it could be up to interpretation what kind of Bill everyone sees when they read it. And yes, that line about not being able to recognize Tom was quite intended. I wanted it to be a little contradictory. The part I had in my head when I started writing was the line about Bill waking up with a narrative voice in his head, and the last part with Tom in the street, so everything else I just had to piece together. But I knew I wanted it to seem like Bill wouldn't recognize him, and then he actually does. And Tom! I just love the idea of Tom looking like that, sitting on a busy street with nothing but an acoustic. So much love. Guh. Anyway...thank you so much! Have I mentioned how much I love your reviews? lol ♥

=O
That ending was cool xD
It'd be awesome to see what his next therapy session would be like....
Author's Response: Thanks! I don't know about a sequel....lol
Date: 09/11/09 08:09 am Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
aww, that was sooo beautiful... i'd love to read some more.. hint hint :p xx
Author's Response: Thank you! I don't know that there will be anymore. haha
Date: 09/02/09 04:25 am Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
I loved this! It was beautiful and intriguing and I would reaaally like to see you continue this, the whole premise is begging for it :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Not sure if I'll continue, but you're right. It is kind of asking to be..... ^.^
Date: 09/01/09 10:43 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
Aww. That's amazing.
*_* definitely worth writing a sequel to.
...maybe?
Author's Response: Perhaps, really not sure. Maybe if the inspiration hits.
Date: 09/01/09 10:33 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
Niiiiice one! Don't be ashamed of the Benadryl!
Author's Response: haha Not ashamed...kind of amused. Love the stuff sometimes. lol
Date: 09/01/09 02:41 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
Oh I really liked this it was kinda funny, totally clever, kinda just perfect. You did a really good job. I wish it had kept going though.
Author's Response: Thank you very very much. I started with the last line in mind, so I couldn't take it too much farther. Still deliberating over a sequel or not.
Date: 09/01/09 12:45 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
God. Wow.
I can't explain what this made me feel.
It was brilliant to say the least.
Throughout this, as I was picturing it playing in my mind's eye, I saw it mainly in colours.
Purple, mainly while he was sat with Margaret, but as soon as he was walking towards the music and Tom, the most amazing amber hue seemed to descend over the scene.
I loved that you could make that happen for me with your writing.
God I must sound like a sap saying that.
I didn't really feel any emotion over Bill loosing his wife and child, just more of a yearning for him to find Tom.
The ending was unexpected too. I was waiting for him to go home, climb into bed and dream about Tom, not to actually meet him.
But then again, it doesn't seem real, almost like it was too good, or in fact he's still dreaming.
Something like that, you know?
Seriously, I adored this whole thing, especially the last five or so paragraphs.
Author's Response: I absolutely love that you saw it in colors. I never imagined anyone could do that...especially not in my writing, so it makes me super exciting that you did. I didn't want there to be a lot of emotion with Bill's tragedy because the story wasn't, technically, about that. It was about him finding Tom...which he did...so.... =))) And I'm glad the ending was unexpected for most of you. That totally makes it worth it. And at the end, I don't even really know what's up. Is it another dream? Is it real? Is Bill really off of his rocker and making up people who aren't really there? Who knows? =)
Date: 09/01/09 12:43 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
Awww... just aww... Kind of weird and first I got difficulties to react to this in anyway, but it turned out to be sweet and touching. I was happy for Bill to have Tom in his dreams and when they finally find each others, it's beautiful. Weird and beautiful.
Oh heck, it wouldn't have mattered even if Tom didn't exist. If he makes Bill breathe, its okay.
I have to ask this; Did you have any particular song in your mind when you wrote this?
I don't know why, but Rescue me started to play in my head and I got it strong there. My inner Tom wanted to play to me Rescue me :).
Author's Response: haha It's definiely weird. I was sleep deprived when I wrote it. I didn't have a song in my head when I wrote it, and strangely enouh, I didn't even have music playing (I always have music playing when I'm awake). Rescue Me does kind of seem to fit in a way, though, doesn't it? Hmmm. That would be totally adorable. Thanks so much for reading!
Date: 09/01/09 12:16 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
Nah, it's perfect like that.
More of an impact.
Bill's unwavering trust that Tom is real gives it that extra kick of delight in the end.
No touchy!!!
Author's Response: *salutes* Will keep my hands to myself. =)
Date: 09/01/09 12:13 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
I ALMOST would like to see it continue, but that final line there and Tom's reaction is just perfect. It finished it off wonderfully for me.
<333333333333
Author's Response: I've kind of been throwing things around in my mind on how a sequel would go, but I'm not really sure I could do it any justice, so I don't know. Perhaps? But probably not. lol
Date: 09/01/09 12:10 pm Title: What's the point in having lyrics without a melody?
*clutches chest* OH OH OH, what a beautiful one shot! Awwwwww!!! I KNEW THAT WAS HIM AT THE END!!! :DDDDDD
Author's Response: hahaha You're so freaking adorable. Thank you!

Author's Response: Awww...you're going to make me blush. lol ♥

I like this. You have a nice dreamy quality going on. I can't wait to see where you take this story.
Author's Response: Erm, well, as far as I know, it's finished. lol I considered a sequel, but no definite plans. lol
