I honestly don't know why it's taken me so long to read this wonderful, amazing story. I've had it in my 'tracked stories' for so long, but have been taking my time to actually click on it to read it. Maybe it's partly like 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. (I never was a huge fan of the movie =/ )

I am so glad I clicked on it though. I am so glad it was in my 'tracked stories' and I began to read the wonderful tale of Bill and Tom's lives together. This seriously is the most beautiful, emotional, and heartbreaking story I have ever read on THF. The way you have written the twin's relationship and love for each other hit me hard, deep down in the heart. Their love and connection was so beautiful and I felt every emotion that you were trying to bring to the surface.

This was truly wonderful and I thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us. I will forever remember the story of Bill the traveller and his love, Tom who he always was there for. The one he always went back to. I will never forget this. Never.

I adore this story so much...
it's perfect,
I have re-read it twice now.. and I cried both times..
you are such an amazing writer..
Thank you for writing this.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading it - it means a lot to know it's still making an impression. Thank you!

Man, how heartwrenching this is? Terminal diseases tend to tear each and every family member apart because you're actually living the experience through with the person and I'm absolutely sure nothing breaks the heart more. I'm in some sort of familiar situation at this moment of my life; I hope with all my heart the person I love the most will get through what she's suffering and believe it or not, reading each instalment brought me back to my senses in a way. How much the twins lived it up until their end. It was truly beautiful (besides, the fourteen year old Bill trying to grab a hold of Tom's backyard back at the amusement part, as well as the multple-Bills scenes were absolutely hilarious!)

Congrats on all the awards this story has given you the opportunity to be bestowed with :)

I don't beautiful is enough to describe this. I felt like the characters were spot on, and was sweet and heart-wrenching and made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. It was incredibly realistic, despite the "supernatural" settings. It was twins done at their best, twincest aside. And the ending! I was bawling by the time I finished this. It was sad enough on its own but it really touched something in me, seeing as my grandmother passed away from alzheimer just a month ago.
I've felt really privileged to read this, thank you.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and sharing your experience. I'm so sorry about your grandmother :( It's horrible to go through losing someone that way. If this helped at all, even by just making you laugh at times, I'm glad.

Very touching story. It's the first one that has made me weep. It makes me want to shower my special people with love the way that Bill does with Tom. There is something truly magical about their bond and you have captured it in this wonderful story. I'm so glad that I discovered it. Love to you and Merry Xmas.

Author's Response: Merry Christmas and thank you! I'm thrilled you thought I captured the bond well. I hope you have a lovely Christmas!

Loving the fluff!

Author's Response: Yay!

I don't have the words to tell you just how much this story touched me and for a wordsmith like me that's really saying something. I can hardly even see the screen because my vision is still blurry from the tears. At age 50, when he referred to Bill as the stranger, my heart broke and I cried my way through the last 4 chapters somewhere between misery and happiness. Absolutely everything about this story is amazing. The short scenes of their life were always informative or touching, meaningful in some way, no matter how short they were in written word. It all came together so beautifully. Even the end. I'm glad you wrote and I'm thankful to have read it.

Author's Response: Thank you so much ♥ I'm so glad you thought it all came together well, and that it touched you. Thanks for sharing your experience of the story with me. :D

I just finished this whole story in one sitting. I couldn't let it go. The ending brought me to tears but not in a sad way. Their lives were full and sweet.
On another note: I totally loved the scenes with the multiple Bill's! Priceless! It must have been such fun to write them!

Author's Response: Multiple Bills were huge fun to write XD Belated thank you for the lovely review!!

ugg. this is utterly heartbreaking.

Author's Response: :(

I just read this entire thing in one sitting. It's taken about two and a half hours. I have seen this around and the only reason I haven't read it till now is because it's not a habit of mine to read fics based on/inspired from movies. I don't know why; I think I subconsciously think it will ruin one of them. But I knew I just had to give this a try. And I thought, hey, it's completed.

I wish I wasn't part of a sea of people when I say I'm crying. But I really am. And I can tell you, I never cry; I'm a very jaded person and it takes things like my mother hacking at my self-esteem (she has anger problems), or our dog being given away to make me cry.

Alzheimer's is truly the most torturous of terminal diseases, I believe. I would go as far as to say I'd rather be euthanized before deteriorating to such a degree, because I just can't take the thought of being a stranger to loved ones. It's painful to everyone. (What's worse is my mom says she suspects she and I are candidates for it since we already have mild memory problems time to time (I'm 19), and I think there's some genes in her side of the family)

I can honestly tell you that I was *this* close to backing out once it was clear what was going to happen to Tom (as you can tell, I'm sensitive to the disease - I cry every time I watch The Notebook), especially because I'm writing this late at night and need to try to sleep soon... but I tensed my mind and plowed through to the end.

I'm happy that it ended on a blissful note; I'd be crying worse if it didn't. The twins will always love and take care of each other, in this world and the next.
And now they're in heaven (I assume Bill died shortly after - killed himself?) and there's no more pain or jumping or forgetting, just love.

Author's Response: Now your review is making me want to cry, lol! Thank you for reading the fic and giving it a chance; I know exactly what you mean with fics based on movies and I'm really glad you enjoyed this one anyway. I'm sorry for making you cry, but please be reassured that nothing at 19 makes you a candidate for Alzheimer's - I'm not an expert, but I do know a fair bit about it because of my personal experience. It's actually natural not to remember things, because if you remembered everything then it ought to take 24 hours to tell someone how your day was. Unless the things you're forgetting are things where you really made an effort to try and remember them, you don't have a lot to worry about - part of what you see in this fic is that Tom can't be diagnosed right away because everyone has a forgetful day now and then. It's also incredibly rare to get it this early in life, and that was a rare unlucky experience for my family - most people aren't getting it until late 60s, and then it becomes increasingly common as you get into each new decade. Please though, don't let yourself or your mom worry about it too much now. And as far as Bill goes, I think he'd have stayed with Tom. ♥ Thank you again.
