Awww I hate that this is ending; it's such a beautifully written story. You really capture the twins perfectly
Author's Response: It had to end some time, alas! Thank you, though. It makes me so happy to hear you didn't want it to end. ♥

Perfect ending! It was laced with that bittersweet feeling that always shows up on the last day of vacation and made it really easy to empathize with the twins. I also loved how you played around with the idea of why the twins continue to put up with the crap of the music industry. I honestly think they tolerate the interviews and stuff just because they know in the end they'll get to perform for their fans. This was such a grewat chapter and I'm going to miss this story!
Author's Response: Awesome, I'm so pleased! It's definitely hard to leave vacation behind, especially when you know you're going straight back to work. I do see ups and downs from them, I know they definitely HAVE to go through struggles, but they strike me as the type to reinforce why they love it so much, to each other. Thank you! I'm glad to know you'll miss it.

Awwww, such a lovely, compelling story! Breathtakingly beautiful. I just loved going back and forth between then and now and see how much they changed, how much their love grew. Fantastic read, thanks for it!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you found it to be all of those things! Definitely I think their love grew and matured. ♥ I appreciate your review, thanks!

*wipes away couple of tears* Beautiful. Amazingly beautiful chapter.
When I first started to read this fic I wasbät actually expected this to turn like this, this kind of growing up story. This got way deeper than I thought originally. Especially these last chapyters digged so deep their lives, their needs and hopes and fears and emotion. This last chapter was a crown on top of it. Very touching and even if being fluffy and cute, it was still a bit blue, a bit sad at the same time.
You wrote beautifully and realistically everything in this fic and slowly got deeper layer by layer, showed their growth. Very good job. This last chapter was emotionally so full it almost suffocated me, but in a good way. I don't even know what to say.
I hope they have all of this. They deserve it. The good and the bad, but together.
Thank you.
Author's Response: :)))) Thank you. I'm really pleased you thought it was beautiful.
It wasn't originally intended to be this sort of story! I was honestly intending to write a Maldives PWP, but this is what the story wanted to be, and so...I rolled with it. I'm really glad you found it to be all of those things, I wanted it to be layered like that, loving but bittersweet.
Thanks for the lovely review, I really appreciate it. No matter what they have, I definitely think they have each other - good and bad, together!

Aww... This was probably one of the best written first times I've read. In all realism there it wasn't just flowers and rainbows and bliss, but hard realism entwined with so sweet, so caring, pure love. So much love. So much anticipation. Fulfilling some need that has always been there. I think the mix worked very well. I'm so happy to read this even if I was actually supertired when reading this. Very, very beautiful and tasted like.... life. And love, especially love.
Now to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you! I'm glad it was realistic but still loving and good. ♥ Your review means a lot to me, I appreciate it.

-cries- Amazing.
meh... I'm a suck-ish reviewer.. I'm sorry..
Author's Response: Aw, thank you. No you're not, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

I loved this story...it was just fantastic and so beautiful. And I think this chapter was my favorite. I like the way you've shown that they're happy together, but there's always an air of melancholy that hangs about them. Just lovely.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you. It means a lot to me that this chapter was your favorite. I struggled over it, but I felt it was kind of true to them in a way. I definitely think they both go through their moments when they wonder if all of the price of fame is worth the rewards. Thanks for reading! ♥

Wonderful ending! I can see how they'd want to stop sometimes, Tom moreso than Bill, but I can also see Bill reminding him what it's all about. Loved this, Tay. :D
Author's Response: Yay, thank you! :) I definitely think it crosses Tom's mind, but they're both way too young to quit. They've got several albums to go yet, hopefully! I'm utterly happy that you enjoyed it so much.

Oh. I just have like, the best feeling right now. This chapter made my heart happy bby, thank you so much, I never feel as if it can be said enough. It was a perfect ending (but sort of begining too) *smooches*
Author's Response: Awesome, I'm so glad. ♥ I'm glad it made you happy, I'm so pleased! Thanks so much, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much. Definitely a beginning too.

I may have cried a little..but Im not
telling.
*no makeup...Im still your Bill*
dies at that!
awww, Im gonna miss this..I sort of want them to stay hidden away forever. if they could only get the secrecy of the Maldives in between albums/tours.. that would be awesome.
Author's Response: Aww, so sweet. ;_; I won't tell either. I wish they could stay hidden away together too, but Bill truly does crave the spotlight, and you can tell that Tom loves it too! And the secrecy is "their apartment." Thank god the stalkers are gone. :P

I loved this story so much, and the final chapter is beautiful honey! *loves*
Author's Response: Thank you. ♥ I'm so pleased that you did, and that you think the last chapter is beautiful. ._. I was so uncertain!

Perfect.
"and fluttered his eyelashes over Tom's cheek in an indirect kiss"
Possibly the loveliest thing ever. ♥
Author's Response: Aw, I'm so glad you liked that bit. Thank you!

The fluff definitely outbalances the angst. :) This chapter was full of things that made me giggle, and that's just what I needed today, something lovely and hilarious.
Author's Response: I'm happy that it does. ♥ Glad there was fluff and humor and giggles, thank yoU!

The image of Bill falling asleep in Tom's bed, surrounded by Tom's smell, is very peaceful. Comforting even. And the rest of this chapter is like pulling teeth, painful and difficult, but needed to get where they want to go. I like the fact that you've not made it easy for the twins, the struggle feels very real.
Author's Response: I definitely picture Bill as kind of addicted to Tom's scent. ;) Comforted by it, definitely. They had a difficult time of it, and I'm glad you felt that the struggle was real. Thank you!

wow. so good, i dont want it to be over! i don't think i mentioned it, but i loved the parts about tom bottoming, every word you wrote about it. fabulous!!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you! So pleased that you like it so much you don't want it to end.
They have a good equal relationship, and even though they've got certain preferences, they still definitely trade off. Thanks for your review!

aghhhhh
so fucking HOT
Tom was so gentle ,so sweet
i love him for that
Author's Response: Very much, yeah? ♥ Thank you. In a way, they had to spend that time apart so that Tom could get the expertise to be so gentle and sweet. ;) He took good care of his Bill.

Damn, see I knew that would be intense. I think I forgot to breathe right there at the end. Wonderful chapter, Tay! :D
Author's Response: I am so incredibly happy that you found it to be intense. *relieved sigh* I was...so nervous about this chapter, I know there was a lot going on. But they got each other there. Thank you for your review, Mel!
