Oh, well, that was one of the most amazing fic-rides I've had in my whole life. From Bill's coffee preferences to Tom's thriller films. Oh, my.
I really, really enjoyed it. Even so and much more than I was willing to accept at beginning, though you practically had me at 'Hello!'.
The emails, the Pink Floyd t-shirt, the blue duffel, Else and Tom's father. Every single detail is a huge, huge keeper. I'm absolutely glad I ever read this.
Thanks you so much for sharing.
Take care!
Author's Response: First, I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, very sorry for this terribly late reply. Your praise, I am not worthy but ever so appreciative of such kind words. Thank you so very much for your reading and reviewing of my fic, and I'm ever so glad you liked it. It brings me much joy! Thanks! :) xxoo

Author's Response: So sorry for the very late reply, but I wanted to say thank you for reading and leaving me a kind, and long review, I love it hehe. As for 'Comment #7', have you not heard the saying 'You're so deep in the closet, you're finding Christmas presents'? As to say, you're a very obvious gay person who denies it. Hope that clears it up. :) Thanks for reading! xxoo

I am soooooooooooo happy! I was smiling the whole time! They are sweet sweet sweetness, really good ^^!
Thank you for such a wonderful story, I loved it. Beautiful ending :D

Author's Response: Thank you for reading it! I cannot write without wonderful readers to read. I'm happy to have made you happy. Truly~ ^^
Date: 11/21/10 09:55 am Title: XV: You've Got Something to Smile About
Whoooo that was heavy and sad and loads of fun too!
The e-mails Jörg wrote were so sad, it almost broke my heart. But the end was sweet and that makes it all good!
x.
Author's Response: :D I`m too happy you enjoyed it! ^__^ Thank you~
Date: 11/18/10 04:28 pm Title: XIII: You've Got a Broken Heart and a Fixed Rationality
Tom is being the loveliest person ever. That is something I totally adore in a Tom-character, Bill is always that kind of sweet/empowering/enthousiastic/mystical, but when Tom is something like that (muttering some random words to soothe someone, ask something in a friendly matter even though he knows the answer etc.) it warms my heart. I love it!
x.
Author's Response: Tom is a puppy~ (as another reader so lovingly dubbed him)~ He is pretty awesome in this story, in terms of being prince like. Thank you for loving it! :D

They are the cutest thing ever!
I so so so much enjoy it all ^.^
Oh and NO, you are definitely not lacking!
Author's Response: I'm so happy, thank you! I thought I really had a lack period during this~ Thank you~ ^^

Joehoee, Karla is gone! One down and one to go. Wait for it Alfonse ^^! I am too evil, aren't I?

Author's Response: Not at all! XD ^--^ ♥
Date: 11/16/10 06:37 pm Title: VI: You've Got to Dress to Impress
Oh and adding to that last one:
It was only really in the beginning that it felt like I said, but that faded throughout the story. Not that I like it less, maybe even more! :)
Author's Response: I'm so happy - thank you very much! :D
Date: 11/16/10 06:33 pm Title: VI: You've Got to Dress to Impress
Oh no no no, I'm sorry! I had no intention at all to offend you or anything at all. And I certainly do not think that you are a lousy writer, you are actually pretty good with words if I may say so! It just seemed in the beginning that you tried real hard on specific words and all.
Alright the fact is: as you can tell my native tongue is not English, I am from Holland. Dutch is -in my opinion- a very ugly language, while I think English is very attractive and has many ways to express yourself. That's why I try to write in English (only for myself though), but I really saw some similarity in your writing style and in mine. Maybe because we both tried hard to make the language perfect. (Again, I am not trying to criticize you) And I did not make that last one up, you sais it yourself one time in an after or before note for a chapter: I spend some time on the perfect words and sometimes the containing of actions/proceedings and stuff suffer from that. Something like that.
Anyway, thanks for answering! I’ll keep on reading, I really enjoy it! Except for Alfonse, he somehow works on my nerves all the time, haha.
x.
Author's Response: Haha, I'm not offended, don't worry! ^^" Seriously~ It's okay, the beginning is very awkward to me too; it is my first piece of writing really, so I wasn't sure about everything. I didn't know how to start, where to end... it is definitely awkward, but I don't think it's because my English is poor, haha. It's because I'm n00b.
Dutch is... a hard language, that's for sure. (I have friends from the Netherlands too, crazy language to hear/learn!) English, really? I suppose. For me... I might not think it's very ugly (as you think of Dutch), but to me it isn't a very pretty language either actually. xD To me, Spanish, Italian, Tagalog, Greek, Serbian are all very pretty sounding languages, though I guess you're right - English is an -incredibly flexible language compared to others. I'm thankful!
Yes, I'm terrible for that; that is, working on the presentation and forgetting the content. I do it naturally, it's annoying. =__=; I hope to improve some day~
Anyways, thanks, and once again, it's no trouble. ^^ I'm super glad you're still enjoying it. Yes, I'm pretty sure nobody likes Alfonse. *pats Al* Thanks for reading, mate! :)
Date: 11/15/10 04:52 pm Title: VI: You've Got to Dress to Impress
They fit together so perfectly! It's even more clear now because they are not twins (so the do not hang out all the time an d stuff). Their personalities just match as night and day with some strange kind of overlapping. The way they provoke each other and than laughing about it or just silently wondering, that says a whole lot about the coming relationship. I really like that part, that they are both taken and in denial but at the same time falling so hard for each others craziness, flaws, decency and beauty.
It still interests me! Too bad Alfonse came with his orange moped at the end though, because it could have been one hell of an interesting scene! (If there was a little bit more booze in the game they could’ve even shared a secret moments or two – or is it just me who thinks that, haha)
Oh and to answer your question as well: I actually thought English wasn’t your first language, where are you from (or is that inappropriate)?
x.
Author's Response: I'm really glad you're liking this. I appreciate your thoughts on their personalities and whatnot, it means a great deal that you're thinking so deeply about it! :)
Does it really seem that way? O__O That is, English appears not to be my first language? Well I was born and raised in Canada (Thankfully! I almost wasn't!), but during my itty bitty years I did not grow up in a predominately English-speaking household (I'm of Hispanic descent, though I learned English too, at the same time). However, over my elementary school years, naturally, English became my most-used tongue; it is in fact my Spanish that's rather horrific. ^^" I consider English my native tongue for sure, as I blame my natural fumblings with it on my laziness/foolishness... so it is a surprise it sounds unnatural to you! Nobody has ever said that, most people tell me my command of the language is strong... I think maybe I just have a unique way of wording myself that makes you wonder? I don't know... but yeah, now you know. :)
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the rest, too!

Oh my, Tom's life is one of the most chaotic messes I've seen éver! Poor poor kid, take it easy on him please!
Author's Response: Yeah, his life sort of sucks at this point. I think I go easier on him from hereon, try and believe it'll get better! (After all, Bill's around :D) ^^ Thank you for reading and reviewing, very much so!
Date: 11/14/10 08:10 am Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
I like the concept. I hope it will stay this interesting:)
Besides where are you from? You're not really English, are you? You have a really fun writing style, but it just looks like you're not English (I dunno why).
x.
Author's Response: I hope it stays interesting for you too. (Seeing as it is done and can't change anyway xD) ^^
I'm actually Canadian, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't look totally English (British, as that makes you partially correct)? Or do you mean to say English doesn't appear to be my first language? (Because you'd be half right there too.) Anyways, I'm very happy you like my writing style. Thank you for reading! I hope you like the story until it's end. ^^
Date: 10/18/10 06:05 pm Title: XVI: You've Got Mail (And a Friend Who Loves You)
Aww, what a sweet and perfect ending!
Author's Response: Aw thank you, m'dear! I'm glad you liked it. ^^
Date: 10/12/10 04:55 pm Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
I stayed up till somewhere around 3 or 4am (I stopped checking after a while) on a school night just so I could finish reading this story. It is just a tad bit too amazing for life on this Earth. I honestly LOVED it! LOVED it. LOVED it? Yes, I LOVED it. Did I mention that I LOVED it? 'Cause I feel like I'm leaving that part out. Thank you, thank you, thank you sooo much for writing this story! You have just about made my life. Thank you! :)
Author's Response: I'm so honoured! Wow! I'm so impressed you enjoyed it that much! I'm terribly happy you loved it, and even sacrificing your school wakefulness... haha please be well, and not do that too often~~ XD To read this though, I'm so happy you loved it so! ^---^ Thanks for reading and reviewing! ^^ ♥
Date: 10/11/10 07:47 pm Title: XV: You've Got Something to Smile About
Great great great story!!! I absolutely loved it, you are truly one of a kind author. :)
Author's Response: I'm really happy you enjoyed it! Thank you~ :)
Date: 10/10/10 10:00 pm Title: XI: You've Got to Slowly Start Speeding Up
I LOVE your story but it is taking me soooo long to read through it! Several passages I have had to read more than once as I got confused and was tryng to figure out who was saying what to whom. Also it seems very wordy. Your vocabulary is very extensive. I have been looking up words right left and centre and I still can't keep up! Also as I don't speak German it is a bit frustrating to read all those German lyrics without knowing what they mean. The plot etc is awesome and I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Author's Response: Wow... my deepest apologies. I've never been told it's been overly difficult to read, and worried, I reviewed this chapter but it seems... well I suppose my personal perspective is useless. ^^" I didn't see an overabundance of colourful words, but I'm sorry for sending you to your dictionary, I am. Wordiness... ah, it's definitely possible, in that regard. It's my flaw, I work on it a little every time. Understood~ (I've never been a concise person. ^^") Again, I apologise, I've never been told it's -that- over the top, so I'm disconcerted and worried. (Of course I want everyone to understand me clearly) I hope you'll still be able to continue. I am happy you are still able to enjoy it, it seems. Thank you! I'm glad you find it still worth reading. Thanks again!
