I'm a bit teary, honestly. This whole story was beautiful, from teh beginning to the end, and right back to the beginning. They went full circle, together, and their love and life lived was amazing.
Author's Response: Thank you ♥ I'm so pleased you got into the fic so much.

Your words are real magic. So touching. A mind-blowing story you got here.
Thank YOU

P.S. I told you you'd get one more good review out of me before this was over. So I will never apologize for leaving you a novel for this last chapter. After everything you've done, its the least I could do.
Author's Response: And I really appreciated it, thank you again ♥

There are a lot of stories that I enjoyed reading in THF, but I must admit that your story moved me like no other.
I cried while reading this chapter, there is something with the way you wrote it that shows so much pain and most important, love...
THANK YOU =) it was perfect.
Author's Response: Thank you ♥ I truly appreciate you saying that.

*hugs-lots and lots of hugs*
This story was perfect. I have no negative criticsm to give you at all. As for positive criticism? Well, I'm full of it as you've seen over the past few weeks. And don't expect it to stop now. This fic will forever be on my "recommendation" list when someone asks me what they should read. You are positively one of the greats. I am honored to have been able to go through this with you and follow along with the rest of your loyal readers. I am so glad I stayed until the end. I said you'd make it worth it and you certaintly have.
This has been such an emotional rollercoaster! Reading every morning and waiting anxiously for the next, reading the reactions of your readers and your responses to them, getting to know your twins and get a little insight to your life... I know that to some this might just be a story, but it has been so much more to me. You have touched me in a way that only few have been able. My shell is hard to break, but you've managed to destroy me.
This epilogue is perfection. Thank you for bringing everything full circle and giving us readers some perspective after all of us have been so broken.
I just don't even have enough words tell you how much emotion this story has ignited within me. I feel as though I cannot rave enough to you and about you. It would be my privelage if our paths were ever to cross outside of this story, the journey has been magnificent.
Again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you for being such a good person. The involvment with your readers says so much about you as a person and an author. Thank you, thank you, thanks you for responding to each and every review. It made my journey with you much more personal and special, and its half the reason I kept coming back. We all appreciate you in every way.
I hope to hear from you and would love for you to hit me up if you should ever feel the desire or have the time. Keep writing because I will be looking for more from you. I am sad to go, but all good things must come to an end.
Author's Response: I think I can only thank you again, so much, for being so open to the fic and the ideas, even when it got difficult. I'm really pleased you thought everything worked, particularly in how it ended because the ending is easy to get wrong when things have become so intense. I definitely hope our paths do cross again - your reviews have shown you're a really good, open person with a lot of passion, and that's something I really respect. So thank you! ♥

One line to describe this:
One of the best fiction in the tokioverse ever.
Thank you for writing us such a wonderful journey with the twins. Kudos.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading ♥

To me, this story is a circle, as all good stories should be. This never really ends, it just returns you to the beginning and goes on and on. :)
When I watched a cell recording of "Zoom" live the other night, it just about gutted me, because this story was all I could think of.
Truly a masterpiece. This is such a fine piece of writing. I can only hope someday to write something as meaningful, that can touch so many people.
Author's Response: You may be smuttier than me, Tay, but you pack a lot of meaning into your fics. Thank you for being such a star over this ♥

I don't think I left a review earlier, because I honestly didn't know what to say. I never read death fics usually, but this fic was just about life... that's what made me read it, and that's what made me cry. I've had this disease in my family so it made me think a lot about it...
Life can be so cruel. Life can be sweet too though, I guess. Thanks for this wonderful fic. I loved these Tom and Bill.
Author's Response: I'm sorry you've had any experience with the disease. Thanks for being open to this fic and loving the boys the way I see them ♥

i cried a little cause this was very emotional
i'm keeping an eye on your future stories
Author's Response: Thank you ♥

I am so astoundingly happy, with words that I can't even express properly, what this fic has meant for me. I think I've told you since the first time everything that I think about it, but each year into their lives, there was so much love, so much companionship, confusion, sadness, tears, anger, embarrassment but most of all, no matter what happened, it always lead back to LOVE.
To live very single moment, loving fiercely and passionately and not taking any second for granted.
Because one day, if you're lucky like Bill and Tom, your loved one will leave you and you will go together, because your life is on this earth is done.
But if you're not that lucky and yet live every second, love as fiercely as you can, then one day you will join your loved one and they will be there waiting for you with open arms.
I admired Bill's strength for so long, but I also wanted to hug him so hard when he didn't feel strong enough. I can imagine how much it killed Tom to see his Bill so sad sometimes, how Bill became dead set on fulfilling every single one of the things that would bring Tom ultimate happiness, but in the end, while truly enjoying all those things to the fullest, the one thing that always kept Tom strong was Bill's presence, his self.
For Bill is Tom and Tom is Bill.
You took my breath away and you took it again just now.
I will never stop my pimping of this story for far and wide, for it is the perfect example of how much a life is truly lived when we live it to the fullest with the person we love most by our side.
This was their love story and I feel very honored to have read it.
Beautiful boys who made such a vow for each other so innocently young but it was the one vow they carried until their lives were over and not one single moment was regretted or fully enjoyed.
The end can only lead back to the beginning, in that never ending circle of perfect love and trust.
Thank you, my dear, for reminding me to be humble again and truly see what matters in life with this story.
Author's Response: I never know how to reply to your reviews, Rose, just thank you so, so much ♥ I didn't expect people to really get the fic the way I hoped, and you are one of the first ones who did with those over on DMBB and you just keep relentlessly showing that you do and it means an enormous amount.

Yes, they will always be together, just like Bill sang.
They will go together into the night. For always!
Author's Response: ♥ Bill only speaks the truth, or something!
