I just started reading this..XD
At first I was a bit confused but then I was like.. "WHAT.. Bill's married here??!?! NOOOOOOOOO stick with Tomi!!" Hahahaha XD
Can I just say that I really, really CANNOT imagine those twins getting married if they're THAT close...@__@ I mean, haven't they said before no woman can come between them or something? LOL and I feel like if ever they get into this HET relationship (hahahaha I'm still thinking of Slash possibilities, and of course, *twincest*) Girl would be #2 and Twin will always and forever be #1. Just number 2!! I can never handle that. LOL..XD
Damn, Tom and his thoughts. T____T It makes me so sad. Gaaaaaaahhh...
Author's Response: I don't think, for them to get married, that a woman has to necessarily come between them. And with the life they lead, I hope they do find some sort of form of normalcy, even if it isn't a wife, but something else. However, that being said, I hope it never goes down like this story is implying. Because that would just be heartbreaking. But thank you so much for reading and reviewing. <3

This made me cry, it feels so real. Poor Tom, it's so sad; him trying to give Bill anything he wants, even if it's at the expense of himself. And that feeling of losing everything, painfully slowly, without control over it breaks my heart.
I can't wait to see where this story takes us.
Author's Response: I'm sorry it made you cry, and the whole story is definitely full of sad, sad angst. I'm glad you're with me, though. I'll probably udpate again in a couple of days. =)

You know it hurts? It hurts like hell to see them like this? I'm more than sure than I shouldn't be reading this, but I definitely am :).
It's painful to read how much Tom suffers, because he'd give up everything for his brother - and somehow I feel like he'd really do it in real life too. The desperation, trying to save something you're not sure if you can and it's everything. Although drunken Bill was kind of funny too...
I like the way you write short chapters here. They fit perfectly, short scenes. I'm curious: why did you pick this particular characterizing; Bill "leaving" and Tom saying the same, missing him? I'm curious, because so many people see it that way (including myself). Is this how the twins really are?
Anyways, nice job again. Very beautiful.
Author's Response: Honestly, I do know it hurts. Aside from deathfic, this might be one of the heaviest I've written. Maybe. I'm glad you're reading it, though. And as far as the short chapters are concerned, it was originally supposed to be a oneshot, but it turned into a lot more, and I knew I couldn't post 20,000 words as a oneshot, so I cut it up into chapters. With the Tom/Bill leaving, I think a lot of people actually see it as Tom "leaving" but in my head, for some reason, I always turn it into Bill. In this case, specifically, I got a scene in my head (that was actually in this second chapter) when listening to the song Your Smile's A Drug by Patrick Park. IN the song, there's a line that says, "and when you say you're in love, you just sound like you're giving up." And when I heard that, I immediately connected it with all of Bill's talk about "finding true love" and the scene of him coming to Tom in the middle of the night, having problems with his marriage but insisting that he loves her and Tom wondering why he's there with him if he loves her formed in my head. And it kind of blew up from there. I couldn't say, for sure, if this is how the twins actually are. It's all sort of speculation for all of us. But thank you so much for reading and leaving nice reviews. ♥ ♥ ♥

I missed the first chapter like I've missed many interesting fics lately. However I decided to read this now, when you updated this, because I really, really like the idea and I believe you're going to handle it nicely.
Sneezing, coughing and shivering becauyse of cold like I'm doing right now is not the best possible feeling to read this kind of fics, but I still want to. You write so beautifully, yet painfully of their emotional distance, growing apart. It's a part I can't take, the thought that kills me inside every time, but you make it so beautifully. With little things. I trust for a happy ending. I have to.
Author's Response: Since you believe that I'll handle it nicely, I really hope I do it justice. lol Thank you for trusting me, though, and I'm sorry it's painful. Things will turn out fine for them, though; they always do with me. ♥ ♥ ♥

Girl, you hurt me better than anyone. Your angst is gorgeous, just amazingly done.
Author's Response: Thank you or I'm sorry; I'm not sure which is more appropriate, so you'll get both. ♥

Damn, this hurts to read ;_; Girl, you're killing me here, and it's only the 2nd chapter. But I know you're gonna make it better...♥ Love it.
Author's Response: I know it does, and I'm sorry. I will definitely make it better. ♥ ♥

God it breaks my heart, poor Tom
Good job!
Author's Response: It breaks mine too, I know. And thank you! <3

This is breaking my heart!!!! *sob* But I still want to read more of it because I hope know you're going to bring them together again.
Author's Response: I will, I promise. It's what I do. =)

Hellos!! Hehe, I stumbled on this, during the brief moments I still have to do things I enjoy, and oh, I love your writing. Love, love, love. I've fallen in love with your style of writing again (never fell out, but you know. :P ). This is a little different than your other story (LOVE!) in writing. You still write the boys beautifully, but it has more metaphors and such in it, more thoughts and feelings than actions. Hehehe, I'm not sure if that makes much sense, but it's more character centered than story centered to me this time.
You can dive into heads so well, it’s absolutely amazing. :D
The confession burns at Tom’s belly like a fire lapping at his insides.
Sooo, sometimes lines like this can be so absolutely cheesy, and “OMG, what was the author thinking…” However, I love it in the context. It fits so wonderfully, and yeah. :D So, this is kind of random, but it connects back to the doggy thing to me, “Lapping” reminds me of a dog, and it kind of ties things together. Oh, probably looking too deep into things, but really, it works so well. :D I love when things just seem to be wrapped up in a neat little package like that…
With his outlandish claims, wild antics, over-zealous personality, and a vast assortment of other quirks, Tom is fairly certain that only one person in the world could put up with him on a daily basis.
Favorite line, just with the spot on description of Bill, it made me fall in love with it. And behind it, I just feel all this love and affection, and yesss :) So yep… :D *cackle* *glomps* It’s a pretty, wonderful, sad, amazing little story so far. I’m wondering about this wife, who I don’t like right now because she wants to take all of Bill away from Tom, but I have to respect for Bill falling in love with her, you know? *giggles* Can’t wait to read more, as always. Oh angst, I love it. :)
Author's Response: OMG I grinned so hard when I saw your name in the reviews. I think, by now, you know how hard I love your reviews. This story IS quite different from SWAK, but hopefully just as good. And you're right, it does dig a little deeper into the characters' thoughts and feelings rather than actions. I hadn't really set out to do that, but when I started I just kept going with that style. It's something new for me, so I'm a little nervous. lol Annnnd, I'm so glad you didn't find that line to be cheesy. Because that's the last thing I want, but I also wanted to try some new styles, and so...those little cheesy-almost lines are scattered throughout the story. And I LOL'd at your comparison of it to the dog. I hadn't even thought of that, but you're right. You're always tying my own things together. And that was also one of my favorite descriptions of Bill's personality. I'm glad you could feel the affection beneath the words, because Tom has a LOT of affection for his little brother. And as far as his wife, we'll learn a little more about her, but not too much. The story is mostly about Bill and Tom (as it should be). Thank you so much for yet another wonderful review. <333

Oh God, this is so sad. I feel so bad for Tom right now, much more than for Bill. His heart is breaking in this chapter and mine along with him. Loving this story so much even if it's somewhat painful to read.
Author's Response: I think it's hard for Bill, too, but it's more in Tom's perspective, so it hurts that much more for him. I can totally feel that. I'm glad you're loving it; it's going to get even more painful in the upcoming chapters.

Bill is married !? Didn't realize that... I like how you refer to his wife as ``her``, it's more than enough, i don't wanna know more about her ! lol
Of course Tom has a part of Bill! And he just can't give it back, twins !
I really like this story, beautiful and painful but so worth it !
Author's Response: lol Yeah, he's married. As I was writing her, I just couldn't give her a name, and like you, I thought that was more than enough to just call her "her" because she's really not that important, in Tom's perspective. Not important enough to characterize her with a name. And I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far. It's going to be full of angst, so hold on. =)

Oh this is interesting. It's usually Tom who has moved on in fics, not Bill. I can't wait to see where you go with this.
Author's Response: It is usually Tom, but for some reason, I tend to make it Bill. lol I'm excited that you're reading. =)

Yay! I'm always so happy to read new stuff from you!
I really liked this first chapter, even if it hurts to read about them not being number one in the other one's life... I hope it gets better, I can't wait to see where you will take this !
Author's Response: And I'm always excited to see you on board with me. I'm glad you're liking it so far, and you know me...things always get better. =)
