*cries and flails and laughs and cries*
I love you. I am smiling through tears right now, this is so beautiful. Thank you for writing this story and thank you for always taking the time to get it perfectly right. The waits kill me, I check impatiently every few days to see if you've updated, but it's always worth it a thousand times over when the next chapter comes. I have never cared about a story on this site as much as I care about this one. Your writing, the delicacy, poignancy, humor, and pure rightness of your characterizations, the beautiful, flawlessly measured unfolding of past and present. I love this story beyond words. Thank you and please keep sharing your amazing creative vision.

I should have made more time to read this, I have read the entire story in one sitting and it is now almost three AM. I have a feeling I will regret this in the morning, but believe me, the regret will be short-lived. Because this, oh my, this was so amazing! So touching and to think Bill went YEARS without Tom, I would have gone crazy just by the thought of it. I admire them both so much in this story, they are both so strong and both so in love. I am, in fact, thankful that I didn't read until now, that I didn't have to wait to know that they'd come back together and how. I am glad I (though I was foolish to let it slip my mind for so, so long) chose today I read this (:
So even if I am deadtired (I blame my horrid grammar on that) and will be a nightmare getting out of bed in the morning I have enjoyed every second of this and cannot wait for the next chapter. Thank you!

oh my god, i swear i cry at the end of every chapter to this fic! their reunion blew me away, it left me completely stunned at the beauty of it all, wow it really touched me. I feel like nothing i say can give justice to the true wonder of this fic, it's extremely powerful, everything is perfectly written and god, it tears at my heart, something this incredible is a work of art, it really is. I really can't wait to see what chapter 12 brings us, no doubt it will be fabulous :) take care!

god, Kish, I have tears streaming down my face and my daughter and her friend are coming home any moment. I have to pull myself together and I don't even know how. Tom's loneliness and pain hurt and made me cry before but this chapter...oh girl, this chapter absolutely broke my heart. And of course, it's all better, and thank god that you left that information, Bill's thoughts and memories until it was all better, because I don't know how I could have taken that before.
Okay, I have to go wipe my face and blow my nose and get it together but I can't even express how amazing I think you are.

;______; I'm tearing. my fraking eyes are tearing, cause like, in the duration of the fic, I felt SO bad for Tom, but I never realized that being stuck in a timespace jump would be so screwy/long for Bill, and I feel like I SHOULD'VE known. Tom's should've known.
GAH heart break.

*tears spring to eyes and an enormous smile spreads across face*
Lol, omg I just imploded. I am SO happy that they're with each other again.
And! *whimper* the way Bill was aching all those years killed me.

Gah! Sooo good this story is! Seven years? Oh man, that's a long time. I so look forward to the next part but this one felt so good! :D

OMG. So much feeling... I don't even know. This is so lovely, so wonderfully done. I'm relieved (that they're finally together), horrified and/or crushed (at the things that happened on Bill's end), happy all at the same time. So much awesomesauce in this. And soooo worth the wait.

Omg. I'm crying now. Their reunion was so sweet and beautiful... and reading about Bill's time away from Tom was so painful! Wow, this is the fic that picture the best their bond and true love for each other, it's just amazing. Excellent chapter, can't wait to read more.

Goodness, I cried all the way through that chapter. Amazing.

Still incredibly emotive; this fic is wonderful. I love it ♥ I don't have coherent words.
Author's Response: Thank you, Kayla. ♥ It makes me all bouncy, knowing you're enjoying it!

That was worth the wait. <3
Author's Response: I'm glad. <3 Thank you, lady.

oh my gosh im crying for them! :( back when you first mentioned bill's hair (half-blond half-black dreadlocks) i began to think that it was going to be something just like this, but 7 years...holy crap. i especially feel bad for bill. but thankfully they're back together now and that's all that matters! im looking forward to your next update :)
Author's Response: I know some people had their suspicions about the time gap, but no one knew how long it was! Poor Bill, I know, but you're right: at least they're back together. :) Sorry for making you cry, and thank you! ♥

omg, omg. I'm glad the time disparity is less than i thought it would be, i was nearly histerical before this chapter, assuming he wa sin hjis late fifties or worse. gah so despite how sad this is, at the same time ist a great relief. thos epoor boys, my heart broke throughtou the whole chapter, even if it broke happily.
Author's Response: Ahhh, it would've killed me to write the time gap any longer. I kept thinking how awful it would be if Tom recovered his Bill, only to find that Bill was in his eighties or something. Glad the relatively small disparity came as a relief; I just couldn't put them through any more pain than this. ♥

Oh my god. What Bill had to go through was worse than I had anticipated. This story never ceases to amaze me, and I'm glad you don't update until you're happy with it.
Author's Response: It was killer to write, I'm telling you. ._. Eee, thank you so much. I'm just glad you guys stick with it, despite the months between updates!
Date: 05/30/10 01:45 am Title: Revelations
That was awesome! More please!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! More soon, with any luck. ♥

Author's Response: Payback? ♥!

I'm crying so please forgive me if this is a little messed up. I was waiting for so long to read this and I can't tell you how emotional it make me feel. The flash back scenes when Bill and Tom first woke form their surgery and then when they woke together for the first time since the accident. It was so beautiful and I could feel their emotions and fright at trying to figure out if the other was really there or not. Tom was so wonderful comforting and loving for Bill. I think it was when the flash backs from the time the ship was stuck and what happened to Bill. His writing to Tom being the one thing that kept him going that one connection that could not be kept is touch or in mind and he could keep it in writing. I felt so badly with the ink and paper ran out. Bill felt as though he could die at that point and I could truly feel it too. The amazing thing that happened when the colonist all gathered to help him the knew and suddenly he could hear Tom. It was so fantastic! I could see Bill's face and the entire room of people with him. You are so amazing and this story is so wonderful! I can't wait to read what happens and how they will deal with the 7 year difference. I'm still frightened for them. Bill is weak he will heal I know but they still have to get home and get the colonists to their place. I'm just glad they are together now. Thank you :)
Author's Response: No, don't worry about it. Your reviews are always gorgeous, and while I'm sorry for making you cry, I'm also happy the emotion hit you the way I wanted it to. :) It was a tough chapter to write, particularly Bill's flashbacks, and I'm glad they're together now, too. There are still rough waters ahead, as it were, but at least they'll be facing them as a team! Thank you so much for reading, and for this amazing review. ♥

That chapter was so soul shredding that I feel the intense need to throw myself into the wall.
Author's Response: :O None of that! Very glad to hear it had such an impact, though.
Date: 05/30/10 12:21 am Title: Revelations
*GASP* I actually didn't see that coming. I realized it just as Tom did. OMG.
And the paper. ;_; The people giving Bill the paper made me tear up, and omg this was such a good chapter. This is such a good story.
Thank you for the update!!
Author's Response: I'm glad it came as a surprise for you, just as it did for Tom. There were some hints, but I didn't want to give too much away. I think it has more of an impact that way. ;) Thank you so much!
