Author's Response: She's just doing what she thinks is best! ;_;

lol, this just made me remember how pissy I got when my sister got her own bed and room, even though it was just next to mine, I didn't want her to not sleep in the same room xD lol. Jealousy's a bitch.
Author's Response: I think with these two it's less jealousy and more just never wanting to be apart! ;) But yes. Thank you for your review, glad you're still reading. ♥

Author's Response: Sorry to scare you! Something finally managed to invade Bill's system. :O But yes, being close was definitely important to getting better quickly. ;)

I finally finished reading year three. You're the fastest author on updates, I've ever followed, lol. I'm a slow reader because I can't read fics everyday, I have to wait when I have little free time to do that, but before I knew it, you finished this already, and began year four, which is already full of chapters. It's so funny, how the lateness is the other way around(not that I'm complaining.)Plus, you have new stories, some are already complete I was like O_ô...I love reading and reviewing chapter by chapter, it's fun, but I confess I only could do that with two of your stories. Which is awesome too because I love reading complete stories too :D
Now, about the fic. I love love love it! Took me four days , or rather four evenings to read it.(life's a b*tch, so got in the way =)
They are growing up before our eyes, and it's so awesome to take notice of their evolution as chapters go by: like the kissing game shifted to a whole new level. I remember when I was ten, and started to let my "boyfriend" kiss me, and all that touching. Back then , it was like the biggest secret and naughty thing I've ever done, haha! Now reading those kits doing it put a big smile on my face.
You write them so well. And Simone too. The influence of "don't tell mom" is noticeable in their interaction sometimes, but there's this feeling about this, that wasn't required in DTM, because Simone's never sure, she's convinced it's bad, but these kits are that: kits, so she can't fully be certain that their nature allows them to be like that. Yet, brothers do not kiss that way. Her internal struggle towards the whole situation, is sometimes pityful.
I like the fact that you give us glimpses of information on their world, through their childish conversation about their lessons or music talking: like geography: Somerica is accross the ocean, the differences in the courts in Le Roux and elsewhere, the cataclysm...Many cultural, historical references that define their world. I a detail-freak, so these are the best things to feed me, to make me believe in their world and universe. And you succeeded, because this unverse is so well established with it's own rules, history and culture. That is what makes this story so powerful and unique. I'm trully fascinated by the whole thing. I'm blown away.
I am glad that this is bilding up slowly, that you take the time to fully develop the characters. Especially Geordie. We had a glimpse of his life, and you can tell it's not really joyful as the kits'. His mother is a bad influence with her close minded and judgemental words. Maybe he realised too, that their fights were begining to become pointless? But something definitely changed him a bit and make him stop bullying the kits. Maybe someday, He and Tom could come to a level of respect. You never know.
About Andi. I pity the kid. Sometimes, I wonder if he's "lucky" to be those kits closest friend. Yes, he has friends at least, but isn't itpainful to feel so left out most of the time? But I have a feeling that he will play a bigger role of Bill's confident, or something like that...He began to just shrug at some things and accept that they are the twins and they're special. His way of dealing with the extraordinary stuff the twins pull off is very clever, and Andreas is an easy-going type of guy anyway ne?He just takes things like they are, with a mother like his, can you blame the kid? He's so easy to please too, it's adorable.
I don't know if I managed to say all the stuff I wanted to say, but that's pretty much what I remembered from this third setting. I honestly would like to encourage you by reviewing after each chapter, but I'm too slow for you, because now I'll begin reading some other fic, I wanted to begin reading months ago lol, and there's Year-Four! I'm excited for it. Maybe you don't read the reviews in the completed fics anymore, since you have so much WIP. But I leave you this anyway, maybe you'll read it later =)
I apologise for any typos, and non proper english in this review. I confess I'm too lazy to re-read it *shame*

Geez, I feel like I'm late to the party! XD I've just finally gotten around to reading this entire series over the last week or so, and now I'm DYING for the next part, I'm glad it seems it'll be soon :)
I really love what you've created, with this story. You've handled the twins' development excellently and the pacing is just perfect. The depth of it is also incredible; so much more than just their physical development and growing attraction to each other, you're also totally nailing their blossoming individuality and their sharpening intelligence.
I find myself hoping, for everyone's sake, that Simone and Gordon are able to learn more about Youko soon, although I have a feeling they're probably going to have to deal with everything the hard way, right? XD I just can't hate Simone; as frustrating as I find it that she keeps trying to pull them apart despite ALL evidence that it's not healthy or right for them (literally, every time she's done so there have been repercussions, I've been paying attention!), I can understand that she is only doing what she thinks is best, and she can't help but be limited by her narrow, *human*-oriented mind :P Gordon is a perfect balance, and I'm glad that he's got at least a little warning in the back of his mind that I hope he's remembering every time he gets Simone to back off. I have to agree with the person who mentioned liking how you're weaving "canon" things into the story, I love how you're pulling that off! Oh geez, this is a novel, but it's kind of a review of all three years so far, so I hope you'll forgive me for rambling! XD b29;
Author's Response: Thank you and you picked a good time to catch up - year four is finally posted! :D I'm very happy to say.
Thank you so much! I get worried sometimes that people will get frustrated with the pace, it's so very gradual, but things will be picking up and we'll go through a couple of short years.
Alas, that's the trouble with a race that is so very rare, and the fact that Simone and Gordon live in such a rural area - they're not likely to encounter many youko. Gordon is doing his best while trying to acknowledge that Simone has a point, trying at the very least to get the kits to appear as though they're conforming to human standards. Weaving the canon in is one of my favorite bits! I really appreciate your review and hope you continue to enjoy the kits' story!

Oh my goodness Tay. @__@ I am so hooked on this it's not even funny. I truly love everything about the way you write and create such a stunning story. I honestly am pretty damn speechless over here. I am in love. :)
Author's Response: It really excites me that you're hooked!! *____* Diving right into year four, I really can't wait to premiere it. We have some more life-shaping events happening in this year for the twins! I am getting excited about writing their story again, which is a good sign. :D

I was referred to this series by Volare, and I'm so glad I was. I have roleplayed with a character similar to the youko - a precocious ingenue with a flair for mischief and the dramatic. I often refer to that character as a changeling because he developed so differently from his would-be peers. In fact, he's involved with a pair of not-quite-human twins himself... It's a bit like if Andi were demihuman too and romantically involved with the kits, and they were all in their ate teens now - my character being Andi.
I can't wait to read the next year. Keep up the wonderful work - this story has me hooked!!! I especially enjoy how you've worked little tidbits about the real life Kaulitzes in there without making it seem forced or artificial. It's wonderful. Absolutely fantastic.
I also find the way you've shown their sexuality to be quite interesting. I am not really a fan of underage eroticism, but in this case it's not imposing adult behavior or thinking on children - it's just a fact of youko life, and it's the kits exploring the urges and needs that are natural to them at this age as youko.
I love Gordon's character in here. He is perfect as the mediator between the well-meaning but often overstrict Simone and the sometimes unruly and mischievous kits. I'd like to see some more of how the twins relate to Andi, especially as he grows older and even more curious about their uniqueness.
I seem to have written a novel myself here, so I will end it by simply saying you have done a great job. Two thumbs, a tail and a pair of fox-ears up!
Author's Response: I am so overwhelmed by this review, thank you! Next year should debut pretty soon, I was hoping to get several chapters stockpiled first. I'm beyond pleased that the real-life tidbits come across as natural to the story, that's very much my intention.
It really is something that is natural to them. I'm not comfortable with underage sexuality below a certain point myself, but with youko, that's simply how their race IS - and I'm glad that comes across.
The twins are very lucky to have both parents. And Gordon is very much the balance needed for this family. Andi will definitely come more into play as they get older!
I really appreciate this comment, it encourages me very much as I work on year four. *_* Thank you so much!

I don't know why I avoided this series for so long. Anime and all the japanese manga (spelling!) and what not are not my thing. But I should have known that anything written by you would be worth reading. I am very much enjoying this series and can't wait for the next year. Keep up the good work, as always.
Author's Response: I'm glad you've given it a try, and beyond pleased that you think so! Thank you very much. I'll start posting the next year soon, when I've got a few more chapters stockpiled. Getting closer! Thank you for the review, I feel really encouraged to work on the next year. :3

thank goodness there is more coming, the series is listed as closed and i thought the worst. its a fantastic story and i cant wait to hear more about your kits
Author's Response: More is on the way! ;) I put what I'm working on in my bio, and "We Go Together" year four is finally, FINALLY up, I'm proud to say. "Closed" simply means the series isn't available for other people to post to. Thanks so much and I hope to share new chapters soon!

My god I really can't believe how fast I read this series! I think it's the first time I read as much this length of time ! I really, really enjoyed it, from beginning to end. I can't wait to read year 4, but I'm kinda sad I'll have to wait for each chapter.. lol anyways, count me in for the next year!
Author's Response: Oh nooo, you're caught up! ;D Damn, and it's probably going to be another month before I start year four, at this rate. I'll try not to let it wait too long! Thanks for all of your reviews. :)

Author's Response: Aww, thank you! I'm finishing up a couple of other WIPs and then I will take a short break, about two weeks - then I will dive right into Year Four. I'm looking forward to it! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. :)

Oh my, the banner looks fantastic. Year 3 seems more like a transition piece to me, and I'm looking forward to Year 4.
Maybe some characters from Year 1 will make their appearances? I can only hope ^_^
