That was really moving, very bitter and sad.

Author's Response: thus is my angst. *hangs head* it seems to like being bitter and sad, but still I'm glad that you found it to be very moving. ^_^

O_o whoa. My head's hurting from so much writing, so many tangled thoughts and so much angst. I'm not sure if I got it all right--- so basically Bill wanted to leave because what he thought was a dream had only become in him being used and abused, not being loved and just being transmogrified by the label to be market-able? And he wanted to leave but then Tom came in and Bill thought Tom could love him back so everything was back in place for a while?

Author's Response: awwww *pats your head lightly* Er, you've got the idea of the first chapter pretty much down pact. I'm glad that it could come across that way to you, because it was really a mess of thoughts and anger and pity all coming from my head because of all of my screwed up feelings at the time. I think I was really just trying to put into words the confusion of being trapped inside of a hell that YOU created and can't ever truly leave guiltless. so yea. sorry for the head aching thing.

Wow... Shelly... Just... Oh my God! So this was the one you were talking about and now I understyand what you meant by it. This was good... no, this was brilliant.

This was f*ckin' stabbing with a kitchen knife and tearing a heart off the chest and kicking in a head when laying on a ground. This was painful in a ways that I broke my heart. Jesus, Shelly, honestly... you left me devastated here!


I bow to the ground in front of you after this one. This goes to top3-fics in most painful fics I've ever read. I had to think couple of times if I should stop reading, because this was mental slapping all the way through and I felt so bad. I'm afraid to read the other part of this, I really am.

And all of this is said because this was so freakin awesome, a master piece, angst at its best. The best and yet most painful thing here was that this could very easily be true. And that's thought I can't deal with very well.

I've been thinking about these issues too much lately. Too many depressing, painful interviews, tired boys, fake smiles,fear, angst and the atmosphere of show going on till the freaking devastating end. I know it sounds ridicilous, but... I'm worried about them. The price they are paying of their childhood dream is so terribly high.

Okay, I could talk about this forever, but I try to avoid doing it here at the review. Just saying that you hit my weak spot here, left the cut open and bleed and I thank you for that!

And now I should dry these tears and click this to my fav's (you are so dominating that list soon :D).

Author's Response: well wow to this review. i wasn't expecting a lot of reviews for this fic because it really is a harsh fic, no a harsh thought to intake, that one of your favorite bands was living a life that isn't perfect, but I was thoroughly glad that you read and reviewed it, because we are usually on the same wavelenth of throughts when it comes to this fic

I....i don't know, generally I would rather think about the fluffy side of their lives, but seeing the interviews and the fake smiles like you mentioned and everything else, (along with that hated cover of Humanoid) all of that just came pouring at. it'shard to think that these amazing people are going through all of that, but there's the fear that it's true, as you said before. xD

i love that you bow in front of me. I'm not....good with angst, well with deep angst. I can write something about losing your love or whatever, but things like this, it's my first truly deep and utterly broken fic and I'm glad that I wrote it because you like it and understand it, I just wish it wasn't an option of how the boys really could be living.

Again, I really am happy that you liked it, and that you got it, and that it could affect you in such a way, because as always, it's my dream to reach people with my words.

Oh babe... that was so depressing. I have moments when I wonder if it's really like this for them too. If it just hurts too much to keep going, or if they are just too tired to let it all go... I'm glad you wrote this, even if my heart can't stop hoping that they are happy, as much as they can be.

Author's Response: awww hun, i'm sorry it was so depressing...apparently my anger makes me write angst lol. but yea, it's kinda...sad to imagine that this is what they're going through. we'd all like to hope that they're super happy and whatnot, but sometimes i like to look at the other side of the coin and realize that maybe it's not all glitter and glamour. i'm glad that you're glad that I wrote this, and i do hope that their lives are way better than how i portrayed it here.
