I loved that! Fluff is, like, my favorite.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. =)

God I love fluffy smut. And I loled about Tom grabbing the hand sanitizer after he rubs Bill's feet--you know he carries that stuff around with him. ;)
Author's Response: Me too. ♥ And Tom and his hand sanitizer, you KNOW it's funny because it's true! ;D Thanks for your review.

Beautiful. Loved it. GEEEEIL
Author's Response: I'm so happy you loved it. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this. Fluff is even better when there's sex.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad to hear it worked on both counts. ♥

NGH ... Damn, woman. Oh yes, the fluff was lovely, especially this: Tom mouths 'I love you' at Bill in the mirror.
If I didn't completely melt from the fluff, I certainly melted from the heat of the sex. So good!
And yes, we have done Smut Saturday. I think this entry counts for both. ;)
Author's Response: Hooray! I'm glad it made the fluff grade, I really was worried. And that line - I added that after picking at the scene a bit! It needed more, and that was definitely it.
Thank you! I'm trying to get into less-explicit-but-still-hot territory. Glad you enjoyed it.
LOL, the fact that it was nearly half smut made me think I failed on the fluff score, seriously. And that other idea we talked about is about half done and I'm saving it for next Friday. ;)

Awwww, your work is done?
Please no.....*pouts*
I wish Bill would've asked Tom to make love to him, THAT would've been so sweet.
.....and I hope Tom gets a (or some) downstairs piercing. XD Sexy.
Author's Response: My work is done for this fic. *nods* Though I like this non-AU version of the twins, too; they're growing on me. And, well, they ARE still boys, and Bill knows what'll make Tom self-conscious versus getting him nicely riled up. ;)
I'm working up toward that downstairs piercing. After what Tom said in a recent interview, I wonder, but I also know he's a dirty liar!

Tom's lips curve up into the sweetest smile, the one nobody gets to see but Bill, and it lights Bill up. There's a pain in this, in what they do, but there's joy too, and there's an ever-smoldering heat at the core of him that takes only the tiniest spark for Tom to get it started.
Nnn. ;_; That is so, so beautiful, and sweet and painful and true. I can't even express how much I love those lines.
I enjoyed this story so much! I loved that you included the recent interviews as part of the plot, and the pictures of Bill with his dog and the little disagreement they had about being together in the end. I loved being able to see behind it all. =D And Tom, who is so sweet, but it's all so instinctive, and Bill doesn't even register it because it fits so well and it doesn't stick out for him to notice.
This is the kind of fluff I love best, that isn't too overdone but is so sweet and so right. ♥ Thank you so much for sharing this!
Author's Response: So, so glad you liked those lines. They were some of my favorites from this one.
Thank you! I was really happy that fitting the interviews in as a sort of part backdrop, part plot device is working for people, I was a little worried it would seem disjointed. I like taking a poke at the real intent behind some of what they're saying, too, because I honestly don't believe three-fourths of what they say! ;) Poor Tom, being taken for granted; but at least Bill figured it out in the end.
Thank you! I kind of thought I failed because there was too much angst and smut for a fluff fic, but I've been so happily surprised at what people think of this. I really appreciate your review, it means a lot to me.

This is more than I expect for a fluff. So hot and love how you combine their dialogue from interviews into this fic. No wonder tom said he's the 'haus frau', he did all these for bill.
Author's Response: *laughs* That's kind of why I said I failed at fluff Friday! It had more angst and smut than you'd find in a genuine fluff fic. ;) Thanks, I really enjoyed weaving in those snippets from the interviews! And Tom is definitely the hausfrau, I'll have to make him wear an apron.

fluff + angst + smut = win. you're crazy :) and your smut is fantastic.
Author's Response: Woohoo! What do I win? (Writing another fic? Aw...) I say let the craziness continue. Your compliment means a lot to me, because I consider yours to be excellent as well.

This was such a hot yet cute story! I love how you incorporated the interviews into it, btw. It's so great to read about possible reasons for real life events or interviews. I just really loved reading this fic!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad it was both! It seemed really timely, you know, to make use of those interviews and it was kind of how the story wanted to be written, if that makes sense. I like taking those slashy behind-the-scenes looks at things, and interviews provide us with such rich material. Especially when the twins give us so many interesting contradictions from one to the next. Thanks for your review!

Bravo on your ability to roll Friday and Saturday all into one, although that's not really fair, is it? :( But wait... turn that frown upside down because I loved the combination. :) This being the second story of yours I've read recently, I'd like to say that I really like your characters. They're highly believable and well-rounded. The progression the story worked really well too. Good Job!
Author's Response: I couldn't NOT go there! I was actually working on two at once and this one won out. So glad to hear that the combination worked! I'm so glad to hear that you like the characterization, it's one of those things I definitely try to put some effort into. Thanks so much for your thoughtful review!

Oh that was perfectly fluffy and hot all at the same time. *_*
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it to be both of those. ♥
