Great chapter, and no I don't feel it was unrealistic at all. Aw, thank you for thanking me lol. I really love this story and I think you're a great author. I'm excited for the next story too =]

Oh. Okay, so, first off, I knew that this story would come to an end someday (lol, it always happens), but even if there are two more stories, I already know I'll miss this one so painfully. It has passed such a long time since I last loved a story the way I love this one, I think about it so often, and everytime I grow so impatient, and I can't really wait to see what Bill will do. I can't remember ever clicking so impatiently and so often on Recent Stories to find a new update.

So...one more chapter to go then. Let me just say that I extremely loved how you described the whole chapter, and Bill's memories coming back. Well, some of them. It practically brought tears to my eyes.
"Bill, she had been screaming, I love you." - that's where tears started...
"He was his brother. His twin. His person with whom he had always been, who was everything he was, and was still so much more." - ...and that's where they got worse. It was so heartbreaking, and so well described. I did tell you you're extremely good at writing, and I think (I think) you've got a potential you don't seem to be aware of, after all. But believe me, you really are persuasive and convincing. I'll never stop saying how I love your writing.

Which is why I can't help but TSK! when you say you don't write relationships very well. You don't...write relationships...very well? EH?! Are you crazy, woman? You are a perfect at writing them! I don't know whether it's a matter of natural talent or experience, but you managed to keep me hooked even if I don't read Het. Which says something.

Well...the chapter has a slow pace and it wasn't very long, so I think I've said pretty much everything. But I'm waiting for the next story to come. I'm so curious to see where this is leading. Oh God. The wait is almost killing me.

Oh, one thing. So apparently Bill remembered Tom as his twin, well, I'm sorry for my nasty comments, I'm so happy he did. Really. And I don't even mind it being just a normal relationship between brothers and not a twincest, lol. I would've never expected that. I can't wait until tomorrow, I already know I'll have my eyes glued to the screen all the night.

And lmaooo, is it so obvious that I'm not a native speaker? Lmao, as long as everything I want to say comes off in an understandable way, I guess it's alright. Just in case, I'm italian, so...errr I don't know how to explain myself...so, if in the UK it's nine in the evening, over here it's ten. And so on. I hope that was clear (I know it wasn't), so, well, thanks, the oral test was fine, lol. So basically...there's not that much of a difference between our timings. I don't know how that matters. But there isn't.

As for a Slash story. Just write it. There's always a first time, and even if it doesn't come off particularly stunning, it will be beautifully written regardless, so! Well, my advice is: write and post. But surely you're free to do what you prefer.

Lol, you want to know what's very funny at the moment? I'm listening to an italian song now that says "the truth is, when I was a child, music saved me." Ironic! It's only a random song I've just found...

Soooo...see you in the review for the last chapter, I guess? Mmmh, maybe I'm too emotional but it's making me really sad. :( Oh my...I'll live.
Great chapter, as always.

Author's Response: First, I've really got to apologise for the way I phrased that "I keep forgetting you're not a native speaker". I am SO sorry, I hope I didn't offend you! That was so tactless of me! Your English is perfect, it's not obvious at all that you're not a native speaker. Oh God I hope I'm not digging a deeper hole! I'm so sorry if that was offensive! *Please forgive me*
Anyway (sorry...), I'm glad that you're still liking this story and that you're sticking with it even though it's not what you usually read :) And again, thank you so much for everything you've said, particularly in this review XD Your messages always make me smile, you've always been really helpful and I hope (I know I keep saying this) that the ending doesn't disappoint :)
Hmm, I didn't know the time difference was so short. Maybe I should have payed more attention in Geography, lol. I've never heard any Italian music (except a band called DNR, but I think they sing in English :D), is there anything you recommend? I like to listen to all sorts of stuff, regardless of language. Just a question :)
And your comments weren't nasty at all, I appreciate everything you've said, even the twincest stuff, lol. Once again - I AM SO SORRY!!!! I'm desperately praying that I didn't offend you with the English thing!!
The last chapter should be here either tonight or tomorrow, so I hope you like it. Glad the test went well :) And as for the slash story, I've been jumping about between fanfics at the moment, so I think I'll finish off unendlichkeit, then upload the next part of it(this sounds really confusing :S) and simultaneously upload the other fanfic I'm working on. That's just a General story, no relationships whatsoever :)
Thanks so much!!
And SORRY AGAIN!!!

Wow, definitely will be interesting to see how he reacts with Alex. Oh, and I wanted to tell you that you do a great job of writing Tom's letters to the fans and the comments the fans leave, it all sounds so realistic.

I really do love how it's progressing, it's not too fast or too slow. I am excited to see how Bill's memories come back...if they come back that is.

I like the opening quotation. It's good so far, I don't understand your lack of reviews really.

Hey, bb. I'm practically over exhausted, not to mention that I'm terrified because tomorrow I've got this huge oral test about Science, for which I'm so not ready, so this is probably going to be short.

However, there we go again. Another cliffhanger, as you pointed out. Thank you, eh, seriously! (I was kidding ;P).

Anyways...I don't think I'll need to read more chapters to understand where you're going, I already know it, it's kind of obvious, Bill is falling in love with Alex. And if speaking of love is premature, then he's definitely interested in her. When I asked if he was jealous, I actually I meant jealous of Tom, not of Alex, ;P. So yeah, then he really was jealous, yeah?

But then, I don't get it all. He seems to be interested in her, or has he understood that there's something more (IS THERE something more?) and he wants to know what it is? Well...if he's right, and there's actually something more that Tom is keeping from him (bad, bad, bad brother), then he's quier clever, eh? *pets Bill*
I'm liking Bill. I hope he'll become more and more independent from now on, he deserves it.

I don't know how to take this to be honest. I don't read much Het anyways, and when I do it's because...well...I don't read Het, haha, so you better expect some aggressive twincester-like comments from now on. And they'll probably be out of place considering that this story is not a Slash in the slightest. :|
Oh well. Like I told you, I'm going to follow you all through this, so don't worry if I do get jealous, lol. I already love it very much.

Sticking with the love triangle subject, in your last response you said: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I put Bill/Tom/OFC cause it suggests a love triangle, not a Bill/Tom and someone on the side, lol. Is that right?"
You really have to be patient with me. I'm extremely tired tonight and I want to cry at the thought of all those beast pages that are awaiting me, and plus, I'm not English, I'm just a learner (tell me when I'm not clear), so I didn't exactly get what you meant there. But basically, yes, Bill/Tom/OFC is a love triangle, that's what it suggests. Which is why I'm telling you that's why I THINK that Bill is quickly falling for Alex.

There's something else. Something that actually I haven't considered so far, so you've kind of anticipated me again, ;)

So, Bill is still Tom's biological twin, but what about now, now that he's lost his memory, do they share the same thoughts again? Apparently, Bill is already keeping his own thoughts from Tom, isn't he? And he didn't even feel so guilty doing so! I wonder where this is leading. So will he be distant from Tom now, not his twin brother anymore? Oh, I couldn't be happier. Lol, I was kidding (NO I WAS NOT), of course Tom deserves his brother back (NO HE DOES NOT), and nobody has to be jealous because of Alex being there (SHOULDNT SHE MIND HER OWN BUSINESS?), and besides, Bill might not remember his life at all and become a different new person. And the scene where Bill couldn't understand what Alex and Tom were saying because the genius was speaking with her in English? How willingly would I have strangled him? Haha, that's pretty much what I meant by "out of place comments." Of course I *rationally* understand that Tom must be exhausted by this whole situation, so he needs his girlfriend by his side. I know, I know!

Ohhh I'm intrigued now. I really can't wait to see how Bill will do in the end.

No, okay, basically, I'd really like to see Bill getting himself a new life if that's what you want to write. Seriously, I can't think of nothing else, but you'll see I'll like it.

And I've completely gone off of the point btw. I told you I'm tired.
...not enough tired to be able to read this anyways, :D
I can't help but think that I'll miss a lot when it will be finished. Oh well...at least you'll post the sequel, right?

...how about writing a Slash?
(I was kidding, lol).

Oh, as for your responses. Really, don't you worry, as long as I can make them out! :P
Bye!

Author's Response: Yeah, I'm not known for my subtlety with relationships :) I told you I don't write them very well, lol. Thank you for sticking by my story, I'm glad you still like it even though it's not what you normally read. It's so awesome that you can take the time to read something that's completely different from what you usally read AND to take the time to review it as well! Basically - you're awesome, and I'm so grateful :)
There could be something more to this Alex, Tom, Bill thing...but that's not really explored much until the last chapter ;) About the keeping thoughts from Tom...let's just say that (if I don't ruin it too much with the next few parts, lol) Bill does start getting a little distant from Tom for quite a few reasons :) Oh, and by the way, I'm sorry I keep forgetting you're not a native speaker, so if my responses get really hard to understand, just cyber-punch me or something :D Sorry!
I hope I don't let you down with what I have planned in this story, the next chapter should clear most of it up, so...*panic* I've already written out what's gonna happen *more panic* so I hope you like it!!
I hope you did okay with your test today (I assume it's today, I'm not sure what the time difference is between where I am and where you are lol) but if it's not until later GOOD LUCK!!!! I'd have said that last night but I posted the chapter at nine o'clock my time, then I was lazy and went to bed early :) I hope you did (or do) well!
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
Oh, on a final note, I'd be interested in writing a slash, probably between Bill and Tom (lol) but I really have no idea how to approach it, and since I'm no good at relationships (especially of the slash type) I'd probably screw it up, lol. Oh well! I have a couple more stories in mind and I wrote the first chapter for a new story last night...AGH, so many ideas! LOL, THANK YOU!

(Yes, this is a repost, because I suddenly realised I had something to say and I forgot about it). Okay, so. First things fist, like you always say, I'm sorry I even considered overestimating your writing. No, I definitely wasn't overrating anything here. If anything, I wonder why I'm still the only reader, to be honest. You deserve more, tons more. But I guess this is how beginnings usually are, and I'm so glad you're keeping this up. :)

When I saw no update these last hours, I admit I got a little worried, but this chapter made me feel a lot better, lol.

So...it's going more and more interesting, isn't it? I...don't exactly like crying in front of the screen, because I feel slightly stupid and in all honesty, when a story makes me sad, I dwell on depression for days and my chest feels incredibly heavy after that. It's not that this chapter was particularly tragic, but tears poured out nonetheless, especially when I read Tom's message to the fans. Touching. Maybe it was also because while I was reading, the song "Come Home" (Eyes Set To Kill) was playing, and when she would sing "so come home" it kind of reminded Tom's situation here, lol.
Bill is incredibly tender; my heart just breaks whenever I think of him and his hard situation, and whatever he’s going through. I totally, completely, utterly loved you at a specific point: when Tom shows Bill the pictures, Bill doesn’t say “that’s me,” instead he thinks “that’s the man in the mirror.” Seriously, brilliant, ingenious, smart. I was totally blown away by what Bill thought.
Which is why I’m pretty much retracting what I said in the previous review (and this is something that happens when you’re reading a story little by little, you may change your mind during the reading): no, there’s nothing rushed. Probably he just had to be calm in front of Tom, considering, like I said, that he couldn’t rely on anybody else, and I understand how frustrated, confused, and scared he must be. So no, it didn’t sound out of place for him to attack Tom some chapters ago, and then being civil; in fact it completely makes sense that now he still doesn’t accept the way he appears. Seriously…I don’t know what else I can say to let you know how I’m loving this.

So there seems to be no way to get Bill back. Is this a hint at what's coming next, or was the last sentence meant to be just being misleading? Lol, I guess I'm going to find out soon.

As for my personal hopes...(WARNING: DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING in the story because of my expectations!!)...so, if Bill doesn't come back, it would be so interesting to read how he gets a new life, all to himself, obviously. In that case, I don't expect him to want Tom around for much longer, it'd be too painful for him.
If, instead, he does come back, then I suspect this Alex will have to show up sooner or later. Will he remember about his life as soon as he'll see Alex' face? That's what I keep wondering. Lol I'm still waiting for her to appear, I'm genuinely curious.

As for the "through the monsoon" part, and considering what you said, ahhhhh, okay, now I get what you meant! I apologise for pointing out that monsoon part so harshly, I didn't mean to. I should've waited for this to come, sure. Lol, only as long as it doesn't get too much, but if Bill HAS TO remember his life, please don't use lyrics excessively. :) Just an advice.
Oh oh oh! You apologise for the length of the chapter?! No! Absolutely no, don’t, hell, long chapters are the best thing ever invented! Okay, I’m exaggerating. But still! Yes, it was longer than usual, I really was lost in the story!

I'm getting...more and more hung up on this, in fact. Seriously. When you said there are going to be eight chapters my heart missed one beats or two and I kind of thought, "damn. What am I going to do when it's done?". Will you write some other Tokio Hotel stories, yes? I don't mean to bug you, absolutely, but I'd love to see more of your works, really. Any chance I can? Even through email, MSN, whatever else, if I'm not being too intrusive? Whenever you want? Whatever you want? And even if they don't concern Tokio Hotel? Lol, there were a lot of questions.

Haha, I loved what you said, you stay online for hours waiting for me to review. But really, don't, I proper fail at being prompt sometimes.
Oh! One last thing: I think there's something you should change. I think that a story cannot be Gen AND Het or Slash at the same time, so I'd remove Gen, and I would add Slash, too, considering that the main pairing is Tom/Bill. :)

I'm falling in love with it and your writing always more and more. :)

Author's Response: I have to say, every time I read something you've written about my story, it makes me feel so pleased, even if it's just one person reading and reviewing, it's so amazing knowing that that one person is enjoying it! I'm so glad, so my first thank you for this review! rnrn Now, onto the rest :) I didn't get chance to update thursday because I came home from college and had a TON of stuff to do, and I really had to get all that out of the way first! Then I was proof-reading this chapter and that took a while, since I had somehow managed to mess up the order of it *confusion*. rnrn Second, I love that song too! Come Home by ESTK is one of my favourites off their latest album, I think they're an amazing band :) Just had to agree with you on that one, it's such a moving song. I usually listen to music when I write, and I try to listen to the right stuff when I'm dealing with certain moods...but sometimes it doesn't always work! Usually, the quote you see at the top of the chapter is the song I was listening to when I started writing it :) rnrn I'm glad you liked the "man in the mirror" :) I figured it would be more appropriate than "Oh, it's me." And no worries about the other review, they've all been really helpful and, like I keep saying, really awesome at boosting my confidence! I can't thank you enough!rnrn As for Alex, I wouldn't say that she was a memory cue, but she sort of helps...I can't say much more without giving it away :) I think Alex appears in the next chapter, so I guess I'll be holding my breath to see what you think. I don't think I go on too much about her, since the main pairing is between Tom and Bill. rnrn I think I only quoted from one more TH song in the penultimate chapter, but I can't explain why without giving it away again! :D I'm praying it will all come together well that it'll be (mostly) cleaned up at the end...rn Which brings me to my last point. There's only eight chapters in "Unendlichkeit", but there's another two parts to the story, so I'll be creating the series thingy soon (I'm a complete novice at how you do all the stories/series things on this website, lol). The next part is called "In Your Shadow", and is pretty short, and the third part is called "Für Die Liebe Und Die Ehre", and isn't yet finished. So yeah, when I've finished uploading unendlichkeit, I'll set about putting up the next few!rnrn Finally, I had an idea for another TH fanfic last night, so I'll be writing that soon too. As for other stuff I've done, I have done other fanfic, but I tend to write in first person, and the style is much, much different from this one...but the strange thing is, these TH fanfics are the only fanfictions that I've ever finished (apart from one other, which I'm far too embarrassed to admit I wrote :). I don't mind sharing a few of my unfinished ones, but for now I think I'll stick to TH stories, since they seem to flow so much easier than the rest! rnrn So, again, thank you so much, and I'll be updating tomorrow (I think...it is mother's day tomorrow...oh dear). Oh, about the genre thing, I have no idea what the boundaries are for each category. I don't know what classes as slash, but Tom and Bill's relationship doesn't go further than what it is now, really, so I don't know whether that classes as slash :S Hmm...I'll have a look at the FAQ section, :D.rnrn THANK YOU!!! rnrn (P.S. I apologise for the weird long responses to your reviews, for some reason the website isn't recognising when I've hit the enter key for a new paragraph. I'll try and fix it :)

Oh wow, what's creeping me out like, right now is that less than a hour ago I wrote in another review, for another very different story, that I love mirrors in stories, I love it when a character sees their reflection and yet they see a stranger. I really don't mind the reason, I just know that's a wonderful subject, very difficult to deal with it indeed, but one of my favourites, that's for sure. This is why I'm creeped out now, because the beginning of the chapter is about that, lol.

So well yes, I liked all about that, about Bill not being able to recognise himself. It actually left me breathless. Despair is just pouring out from every sentence, and it's impossible, impossible not to get caught. Reading was a real suffering (in the positive sense =D), you're so good at showing readers all the scene; it seems that you don't leave anything out, you're telling us all the facts exactly for what they are, and that's great, really great. Believe me, I totally adore that.

You mantain a slow pace, that's another good thing. I hate rushed stories, and a proper rhythm is always appreciated, mostly because it makes the story more believable, I think. As I said, I'm enjoying so much how you keep things slow, it's as if you're showing us those harsh scenes almost brutally. Sure enough, they were three chapters for one scene. I wish you could hear me clap, because not many writers do that. I'm pleasantly surprised, and full of admiration at the same time (in fact it's easy for me to comment on fics, but I seriously doubt I'd be able to keep up with high standars myself).

I feel the need to point out that these are my standards, my OWN standards I mean. I liked the fact that you're surely taking your time to write it, but maybe other people would find it...I don't know...dragged, for example, if you know what I'm talking about. I bloody hope I'm making sense.

I effin' love psychological stories, and yours seems so good. Believe me, I really enjoy myself while reading, because you're a really original writer, and very convincing.

Now it looks like you've moved on Tom's point of view. That's okay, it seems he'll be dealing with a great sense of guilt, huh? Let me say, as a psychological stories lover, it's difficult to write about sense of guilt, I think. It's not that I'm an expert but I've recently coped with my worst sensation EVER of sense of guilt, I thought I was going to go crazy. So yeah, sense of guilt is another of my personal favourite subjects. You seem to know what you're doing with this story, so I can't really wait to see how you'll deal with Tom's sense of guilt, if that's what you're planning to write. :) Seriously, I can't wait.

Ohhh, there was something, actually...
"Bill tore at the wall and ripped the nail from his right index finger." - EW! Please tell me I misuderstood!

Oh, just one thing though. I'm extremely sorry but I just have to point it out.
"If there had ever been a monsoon..."
No. Please no, just no. I understand you're a fan (so am I), but noooo, please, I want their songs and verses out of stories like this! :(

(I was kidding. ...maybe not).

I checked out your profile, I read you're from the UK, so this story is written in English, as in English English. Mh, I'm practically in love with every English thing, seriously, don't ask me why. This story seems to be no exception, in fact. Considering how it got to me, I shouldn't be so surprised to find out about its English origin, haha.

I wanted to ask if you've ever written something else. I'd like to read some of other stories you've written--if you have, and of course if you don't mind.

Well, that was it. I'm waiting impatiently for the next part to come!

Author's Response: Hey again! Wow, thanks so much for everything you've said, it's all been really awesome and helpful! I'm glad you're enjoying it! First things first, I notice you said about the nail :) I figured that it was unlikely that he'd scratch at the wall and not at least break his nails. Maybe I was a little harsh, but a lot of my stories are horror or sci-fi based, and there tends to be a lot of blood and depression, as strange as that sounds, so it looks like it leaks into the rest of my stories. I'll try not to put too much of that sort of thing in if it seems out of place :) rnSecond thing, about the monsoon reference, I understand what you're saying about the song references. As far as plays on the song titles are concerned, I don't think I put any more into this part of the series, but there might be some later on. There are a couple of references to the actual songs rather than stuff like the line you mentioned. They are necessary additions to the story to aid its progression, so when I upload the rest of the chapters, please let me know if you think some of it is too much, and I'll be sure to take that into consideration while I'm writing the last part (which I'm doing right now :). I'm praying I won't let you down with how I deal with Tom's point of view. I've already written it, so I might go over it again and make sure it's up to scratch. rnI realised after I uploaded this chapter that I forgot to thank you in the opening notes, so I'll make sure that I do it when I upload the next chapter! rnFinally, the next chapter is going to start dealing with the "het" section of the story, but not too much, I hope. I'm still very much sticking to Tom/Bill, but I brought in the OFC for later reasons that involve the next two parts of the series.rnAgain, thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it, and just to answer your final question, yep, I do write other stuff. As I said, it's mostly grounded in sci-fi/horror, but I've written a few other fanfics as well for things like anime (Bleach) and other novels (such as Vernon God Little). I love writing and I hope one day to make a living from it, as big-headed as that sounds :) This is the first thing I've written that I've shared with anybody, so believe me when I say that absolutely everything you've said to me has been awesome and really helpful! I can't thank you enough, and you boosted my confidence in my writing. Words can't express how grateful I am! rnOne last thanks!!
