How and why does he "travel"? Why have their parents accepted it as normal? Do other people do this too?
Author's Response: Lol, the impatience! Read on to find out :D This is one of those that doesn't present you with all the answers so it may not end up being your cup of tea, but I do hope you like it.

I never read the time traveler's wife or saw the movie so I'm going to have to do a lot of catch up. I'm already pretty lost.
Author's Response: To be honest, if you have read the book it spoils this a bit - it's meant to be confusing so don't worry about being lost ^_^ I hope you end up enjoying it!

one word: PERFECT.. this fic is so inspirational and not to mention the mixed emotions i had when i got to the end of chapter 47.. *sniff* and i also found the most perfect song for this perfect fic, the title is 'you're the reason i come home' by ron pope. i purposely played it when i got to the last 2 chapters, and i was biting my lip in an attempt to stop myself from bawling but it was useless.. lol!
thank you for writing this. :')
P.S. i love what you said on the end note of the epilogue :)
Author's Response: That song is utterly gorgeous; thank you so much for pointing it out. It does fit quite well ^_^ So sorry you ended up bawling, but thank you for enjoying the fic and sharing that enjoyment!

I have to say that getting a glimpse at some incidents of Bill and Tom's life was extremely intresting and more than enough to realise what is going on completely.
Enough to understand the love they share, the commitment they have to one another, how they simply live for one another and of course also what happens through it.
I love how Bill is Tom's, he's his, always even when he doesn't know for sure who that person is, he knows he is his.
And of course, the one that has the same age as him, the one he's spend his life with up to then is his among all the other Bill's of the past or future.
This story gives strength to people into believing that they can find or already have somebody that will always be there for them. Whatever happens, no matter how bad things are and even if you don't even know who he is.
That is very important and something I gained after reading this.
I also loved the fact that Bill already knew. Bill knew yet didn't tell him before the doctors did and tried to make their life as intresting and nice as possible.
They believed in each other till the end. Tom believed that Bill would eventually be able to control his jumping and Bill believed that Tom could do that show.
They always returned to each other, even if that means completely different things from one to the other.
I think it was really important, nice and intresting how it'd seem tottally normal for everyone to have someone jumping through time in their life.
For me it just put that away as a "problem", as something extra to worry about and made me more able to focus just on Bill and Tom's life.
They're both so brave and have so much courage to do so much about the person they love so much and well, the only person that makes sense to them in their entire life.
I also thought the way you "ended Tom's life" was beautiful. Bill singing 'In die nacht' to Tom. It could turn out very sappy, but I must congratulate you on making that scene so beautiful and heartbreaking. If it made sense to Tom it also made to me. :)
And the ending chapter is beautiful. Apparently Bill can make promises that he'll keep.
It comprehends the entire meaning of the story in a simple scene of two 4 year old boys playing at a fun fair.
Congratulations on your amazing writing skills. Without saying too much, you made us all feel very much.
I never thought that would be possible by reading just one day, a part of one day (!) of each year of the twin's life.
I feel in a way better after reading this (regardless the fact that I cried a lot from Tom@49 till Tom@4). Because now I appreciate one person that I have around me more and know "I will be" there for her as much as possible, at least I'll try.
Oh! And the titles of the chapter were what intrigued me to read the story the most.
And "This is his favourite, the pretty one whose hair goes up in the air." is still my favouriet line of the entire story.
Author's Response: This made me smile hugely, so thank you so very much. I'm really touched that you were pulled into the fic so deeply and that you felt it all worked so well, and more than that I'm thrilled with what you're taking away from it. I think we all underestimate the difference it can make to just be there for people sometimes. Just thank you so much for sharing your experience of reading it ♥

This is his favourite, the pretty one whose hair goes up in the air.
I can't even explain how this story has touched my heart. This must be my favouriet line I've read up to now...
I'll read through the entire story to give my full review.
But you should know I have been captivated by the beauty of Bill and Tom's love story.
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much. ♥ That scene was difficult to write because it's both funny and heartbreaking all at once; I'm glad you liked the line and the meaning it held.

this fick has broken my mind but completed my heart
Author's Response: ♥!

It made me cry. It was absolutly amazing and heart-wrenching and just the best.
Author's Response: Thank you ♥

“Focus on your Tom.” - So when the doctor says this 'your Tom', is he meaning the Tom that is Bill's age right then? Geez, I don't know how to ask that for it to make sense. That's kind of how I understood it, though. Hopefully the doctor's suggestion works...? I'll keep reading to find out ;)
Author's Response: That is what the doctor meant, yeah. 'Your Tom' means the Tom that is exactly the same age as Bill is at that moment - the one he'd be with if he'd never been able to jump.

Ah, I love this song (100 Years)! Yay, Tom has finally arrived at the right decision, though I get why it took him so long. It would definitely be hard to be told what your future holds before you make those decisions :( But of course Tom and Bill would be together and the sex part was a natural progression of their love for each other :D Can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: 100 Years is a great song, isn't it? I was surprised how well it fit when Kish introduced me to it. I'm glad you felt Tom's internal struggle made sense!
Date: 05/27/10 02:42 am Title: Tom @ 13
LOL! I love how Tom is a bit scandalized by the thought of having sex with Bill (because he isn't 'Karen Hertsford'), but he's okay with them being in love... hehehe... I guess he doesn't know that people in love do that sort of thing :D The kiss was really sweet! I love how Bill orders him to give him another at the end :D ♥
Author's Response: Oh Tom knows they do, but it's his 'little brother'. He needs a little while to get used to the situation, lol. Bill disagrees ^_~ ♥

“Okay, I’ll be pretty for you.” - I absolutely love this line! ♥ Because it's true, Tom really is quite pretty :D
Author's Response: Tom's far prettier than he'd ever like to admit, lol ♥

Oh god, I'm already crying. I'm FINALLY getting around to reading this, though it's been in my favorite stories forever... I knew I'd love it because of all the good things I've heard about it. The bad part of waiting is that I already know a bit of what happens, at least in the end, but it's probably better because I'm not good with surprises. Anyway, knowing what I know about this story, this song and this chapter are already making me cry! Regardless, I'm excited to keep reading :)
Author's Response: >.> Eep, but thank you for reading it even though you do know what happens. I really appreciate that ♥

Looks like my original review was cut short, dunno why... So here's the rest of it (;
Of course I was sad during those last chapters, but I would never say the story itself is sad, because it is such a gift that they were able to fully live the life they had.
And I really wish I will be able to say that when I die myself, too!
You can really believe me when I say, that this fanfiction is one of the very rare ones that go straight up to my mental "fanfiction archive" and I will pull it out and think about it several times in the future.
Thank you for sharing this story with us!
Author's Response: Just to add thank you so much for reading and reviewing and being so open to the fic. It really means an incredible amount and I'm so pleased if you'll think of this fic in future.

"Wow.." - That would be what I'd say about this story, if I had to describe it in one word.
I just finished it after two days of reading (with interruptions) and I couldn't stop crying.
It's amazing how you made me cry so hard and kept my mind occupied, even while not currently reading, but in the end there is still such a positive and hopeful message.
You got me hooked from the first sentence on, but in the chapter where Tom is first visited by "Triple-Bill", where the 50-year-old Bill explains that he is very busy at the moment because of Tom, I realized that at that age, something bad must be happening to Tom and I was eager to know what it would be. That's when I started really getting emotionally attached. Then, when I for myself found out what exactly this bad thing must be, I was sitting here sobbing like mad.
From the way you describe the progression of the disease, it is obvious that you have personal experience with it and that makes it a lot easier to understand, what Tom and Bill must be going through. Thanks for that
Author's Response: Thank you so much ♥ It really means a lot to me that you felt all of that emotion and understanding came across. I always feel guilty that people have cried, but thrilled, too, because it's touched you deeply. Reading this, I'm beyond thrilled that you still went away with the positive messages.

Oh God, I knew I shouldn't have read this to the end, I'm just crying my eyes out. I honestly can't bear that thought, my grandmother had something similar just much later, and my dad's that age now, mid fifties, and he's perfeclty fine, and it's just too young for something like this to happen to anyone. That's all I can keep thinking, too young, too young. God, how could you even bear writing this?
Author's Response: It is far too young and when it was all happening to us, I was thinking what you're thinking now. I kind of needed to write it out in the end though, and the boys gave me a chance to work through everything so I'm indebted to them *hugs*

I'm one of those people who doesn't comment a fic unless it really moves me.
This is absolutely stunning in every way. I just read it all in one sitting and I'm gushing so hard. I guessed Tom's illness when the part about him trying to tell the time was brought up and hey, I was right. That doesn't make it any easier, though. The last five or so chapters were absolute murder on me, they were progressively sadder and sadder and I was just absolutely dying here. I'm half tearing and it's so, so, so effing sad. I can't even fathom. I don't really cry for fiction, ever. This is heart-wrenching in the best way. God, it's gorgeous. It's painful and it's so lovely and I love this. Terribly. I mean when I read the epilogue I just choked up so much, my chest all hurt and all.
This fic is entirely perfect.
Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you so much ♥ I'm so thrilled new people are coming along to give the fic a go and still finding it so moving. Thank you for taking the time to tell me, it really means a lot!

Just wanna let you know that I just re-read the whole story and it was even more beautiful then the first time, if that's possible. You truly succeed in portraying true love in this. I LOVE this story so much... it makes me laugh and cry, you are very talented. Thank you so much, it's one of my favorite fic ever!
Author's Response: ♥ Thank you so much for continuing to think of it after the first read; that means a lot to me!

My first review ever. Just... I'm not English, not American, not speak English so it's so harrrrrrd~ for me to review anything, and I really don't know how to... y'know, express my emotion rite now.
I was impressed at the first sight with "This is their love story", only this bring tear to my eyes. Really, I dunno why.
And then everything about this fic makes me cry. Still don't know why.
'So real it hurts', I think.
I even don't know what I'm trying to say. I'm sorry T_T
Just, thank you for this fic.
Author's Response: I'm really touched that you took the time to review if you don't usually, and this is a really lovely review. I'm sorry for making you cry, but so pleased it really touched you like that ♥
