Oh GOD *takes a deep breath*. I wanted to start re-reading all of the series when I'd be absolutely free of any distraction. My heart hurts. So many beautiful descriptions, even from the very first chapter. I just can't with the perfection of your writing. It's such intense angst but it's in no way overwhelming and ohhhh God, knowing how it ends up (up 'till the point I've read anyway!) is tearing my heart.
You'll probably get more incoherent reviews of this kind from me, as I move on with the series, I apologize in advance for all that.

This story made me cry and I don't usually do that. I was so happy with the ending and can only hope that they find the peace and happiness they deserve. Tom was so strong throughout this story. I'm sorry I didn't review each chapter but I started reading this story and I couldn't stop. Now I am off to read the remaining stories in the series and I'm very excited. :)
Author's Response: I didn't mean to make you cry! I hope the rest in the series help pick up that broken heart. ♥

I liked this story for so many reasons. I love how Tom had to think about how he felt before he could commit to Bill. And I REALLY loved the way you wrote Georg and Gustav. I am rarely satisfied with the way people portray their reactions, because it's either unrealistically happy or such a shameful disgust that I honestly don't think they would have in real life. And lastly, I think the ending fit the story amazingly. It didn't have an overly fluffy ending, it was one that was as uncertain as the rest of the story itself. I'm not a huge fan of angst because people over due it, but this was really was a great story. Sorry for the super long review. :)
Author's Response: I am SO glad you liked it, and relieved to know that you found the ending to be fitting and satisfying. I was actually kind of worried about it, not knowing if it would be too little, but I knew that's how it needed to end. So to hear that you liked it makes me incredibly happy. So thank you so much. ♥

Somehow I knew it was Nena even if I didn't recognize the lyrics! Hahaa! I know Bill! :D
Thank you for such a beautiful fic and emotional, calm, relaxing ending. It was so sweet... I don't know what else to say. Reading twins finding each other again, slowly but firmly taking steps to be each other's world again - and even more than before. It feels right. It feels like it should be.
I still kind of wish for them to run away. It breaks my heart everytime to know that they couldn't... ever... be openly anything. But hey, this is a start and they can make it work. I count on them :).
Thank you again for giving us this journey. It has been a pleasure to take this ride even if sometimes it hurt so much. It was worth it. I love the lingering atmosphere. The almost-AU-but-not-quite. It danced between Tokio Hotel and post-Tokio Hotel. I don't know, felt like the characters couldn't let it go completely either. They would be lost without each other.
Luckily they don't have to :).
Author's Response: Bill is so easy to figure out sometimes. =P But thank YOU for taking the journey with me. I know it was a really rough road, but you kept the faith that I'd put them back together again, and I really appreciate it. They may still run away, or they may stay, but either way, they'll always be together. And that's what matters, right? ♥ ♥

Oh girl, I grinned so hard when I saw those lyrics! I remembered, from your 'bunny' post. What a perfect story to use them in.
This was a really lovely ending. I love that we really don't know what's going to happen, but whatever it is, they'll be together. It's just right. :D
Author's Response: Okay, well it made ME grin so hard to know that you remembered them from my bunny post. I was going through TH songs that I thought he could sing and then that one popped into my head and it seemed so fitting, you know? So I was happy to put it in. And thank you so much for reading it. I know the short chapters drove you almost as crazy as they drove me, so I really appreicate it. <333

Awwwwww ! Perfect final chapter to a beautiful story! It was a very enjoyable journey, like all of your fics... I really can't wait to read new things from you, it's always good and your regular update are joy! Thanks for sharing! :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. But I do have new things in the works already, including a oneshot follow up to this and a fun little summer fic. Be on the look out. I really love seeing you with me on every story. <333

That was beautiful all the way through. Thank you so much for writing it ♥

Fantastic ending :) I really, really enjoyed this story! ♥
Author's Response: Thank you so, so much. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. <333

aww! i love how vaguely you ended it, so the reader can choose how they continued thier life. thank you so much for this :D
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it ending that way, but I do have a oneshot sequel in the works. =) Thank you so much for reading. ♥

Oh dear, it's more than a hoped for. Happy tears, happy tears!! *glomps* Hehe, it's beautiful!! :D I don't think I can even pull one line out of this chapter I liked best, because I loved it all, and it's all one big blending happy moment. That's oh!! :D :P And the title fits perfectly. :)
“Mmm,” Bill hums an agreement as he shifts some things around in Tom’s dresser to find a place for his own things. He hasn’t asked, doesn’t need permission.
(Well maybe I can pick an awesome line or two) Hmm, I think that, even though it's two sentences, they go together, and yeah!! :D It shows like, how in tune they became, once they've accepted one another, and how well, just amazing and awesome, and hehehehe!!!!!!! *huggles* Beautiful journey, through all the lovely angst, to the happy happy ending. :) Bah, my last reviews always seem so incomplete, but really, joyous and wonderful and gorgeous, and yeppers. You did another amazing job, and I love this style, you should make something full length with it, such fun imagery. I have no idea how you can even come up with half of it. *squeezes*
Author's Response: I'm glad it was more than you hoped for, and glad you thought the title fit. It was originally going to be something different, but then I got ready to post it, and I felt the need to change it. So I'm glad it wasn't a bad decision. =) And even though you thought the ending was so good, I still have a oneshot sequel in the works, because I wasn't quite ready to let them go. =)

It’s the middle of the night, probably two o’clock in the morning, or so, and someone is ringing his doorbell.
And I'm going, "It's Bill. It has to be Bill. No one else will ring his bell that late at night. Bill. Bill. Please!!" And then it's Derek, and I'm all, THE HELL?!? And then we have Bill, and it's all good. :D
Tom lurches forward, takes his brother’s face in his hands, looking him over really well.
This, and the little part after it. I can just feel Tom's anxiety pouring off of him. It just seems so brotherly, but more, you know? I love how he doesn't seem to care that Derek is staring on. It's his brother, damn it, and Derek could've hurt his Bill. :D
The close proximity causes their bond to wrap around them like fingers and arms, and almost completely calm Tom.
That line is beautiful, you kind of pulled back into the metaphor. Maybe I wasn't looking close enough in the previous chapters (I want to know what happens... ^^" ) But the flowing style that you write so gorgeously has come back. :D
A dumb response for a dumb request.
Well I think his answer was amazing and truthful. :)
He sways forward, pulled like a magnet toward the words slipping out of his brother’s mouth.
Yessss, yess!! Beautiful, beautiful. :D
I’ve been researching…”
Giggling like mad!!!!! :D That last line was wrong!!!!!! YES!! So, going to go to the next chapter, and weeheee!! Happy ending!! YES!! :D Next chapter though, deciding how happy the ending will be, oh make it amazing. :)
Author's Response: Your reviews always make grin so hard. Because you see EVERYTHING. Gosh, how do you do it?

The call has yet to be returned, though, and instead of getting frustrated, Tom has merely let it go.
But I don't want him to let it go... It seems like, idk, he's too accepting, like he's allowing Bill to do his own thing. Bah. ^^" Lol, I want Bill to be happy, but I want Tom to fight for him. :D
Or when Gustav spouts off with a bout of useless, but informative information, making Georg and Tom laugh, and Tom can almost hear the echoing of Bill’s chiding, telling them to grow up, that he may be the youngest, but certainly not the most immature.
LOVE that line. It captures the past so well, but also the present. :) It's slightly weird that Gustav and Georg aren't weirded out by it, lol, but then again not. :D Nicely explained. Oh, the G's, the G's, soo happy you added Gustav in there, I was kind of wondering where he was. :) But no, that last line is going to be false, you hear me? Wrong!!! Your last lines are still amazing, but this one is wrong, grrr...
“Still trying to get over you?” Gustav suggests, but his voice is twisted with question, uncertainty.
Again, I like how you then have Tom react to what is said, not just let it go. Reactions are so amazing in here, how things play off of each other. :) So, you're just going to prove the last line false, and everything will be good... n_n
Author's Response: I don't know if I could ever go an entire story without adding in some Gustav. I really love the guy, seriously. Especially as a friend/character.

Unless they ran away.
It means so much to read that. It's like, that one lingering hope. I'm kind of grasping to it too, that there is this idea. They can make it work. Bill drops Docter Derek (he'd understand right, he's the doctor who fucks with minds? ^^") and then the twins could be together. It's all this stuff squeezed into that one little sentence thingy, and then you go to elaborate on it, and it's just, yes :D Gosh-darn. When Bill said no, well, he said he'd think about it. But fuuudge, he should just know you know? Hehe, but I'm kind of happy he didn't say yes, angst, y/y? :D
Joe Blow.
*giggles* That name would suit them, wouldn't it? :D Shhh, don't mind me. :P I love though, how you have Bill kind of transitioning from being inside, to being outside, idk, it just seemed nifty how you mentioned the sounds around. :)
Author's Response: lol Definitely caused angst when he didn't immediately say yes. Besides, he's created this illusion of a life with Derek. He actually has something REAL to give up by giving into Tom, in hopes that something might happen, so I can totally see where he's coming from on that one. (Considering I wrote it, I would hope so. lol)

Noes!! I was supposed to get time to read this before you got to the last chapter, darn it... Anyway...
He hadn’t mentioned that Derek was a shrink doctor, a fuck-with-your-mind doctor.
This makes me go grrrr. I want him out of Bill's head. I love the way you described him though. :P It makes me feel okay with not liking Doctor Derek. (Hehe, DD.)
mostly because he took note of the way Bill’s eyes clouded over when it seemed like, maybe, Tom didn’t approve of this boyfriend of his.
Little things like this are so adorable, and they mean a lot it seems. Whenever I'm reading along, I see one of these adorable moments, and go, awwww. :D Like, Tom still is trying (in his own way) to keep Bill happy. :D
He’s not supposed to be old, and jaded, and domestic.
Domestic. I love how you used that word to describe Bill. Domestic. Hehe, it seems so well used. So unlike the Bill Tom knew before, who was so, un-domestic. Your word choice, oh, I always love it so much! :D The spaghetti bit, about not eating, stands out a lot to me. Just, it's so sad. In the last chapter, will Bill eat Tom's spaghetti? :) And then, and then Bill not singing along? :( It seems like a slap in the face to Tom, at least I would be mortified if that happened to me... Hehe, next chapter, humho!!! :D
Author's Response: Sorry. Once I got over the hump of the middle, it kind of went fast. =P I always love how you pick up on the smallest details. I don't know how you do it; I certainly don't do it as a reader, but I really appreciate it.

oh that was lovely! I'm sorry that there wasn't a final kiss, really, I was waiting for it :( just a little peck on the lips, no? XD
Author's Response: Not in this one, no. (But I have a sequel oneshot in the works where anything could happen.) ♥

Soooo... I read all of this yesterday (apart from the last chapter, obvs) and then kicked myself for doing so because it wasn't finished yet. I was like, "I'll start it now, because I won't finish it in one day, and I won't be kept waiting. It'll be fine."
...I finished it yesterday, as said, and was left waiting to see if Bill would really stay. And yay! He did! I'm so glad it worked out for them both (and even though I was pretty sure it was going to, I can never tell with you sometimes XD).
I loved your writing style for this fic; it was like one huge big metaphor! Which I thought was a good thing, by the way. The angst all the way through was heart-breakingly beautiful, poor twinnies, but you portrayed it all perfectly and blah blah. Well done, you! b29;
Author's Response: Awww, maybe you should have read it slower. =P But really, I'm glad you like the story and the style (that was new for me, and made me nervous). One big metaphor, lol. I like that. =) But thank you so much, as usual, for being awesome. ♥
