Oh, wow! I can't believe it's over, already. I'll miss your characters until the sequel comes out. You've got a magnificent characterization of Adam!

Though not the most cheerful of endings, this definitely left room for things to get better. I personally liked that you left it like this. Bill woke up and doesn't seem to have any signs of brain damages, at least, he doesn't have any memory loss or anything obvious like that, and Adam and Tom both got to see him right when he woke up. Who knows once the doctors come in, but still. The ending was rather bittersweet in a way, Bill's awake, but there are still countless issues that he will have to work through.
Adam and Tom's relationship really is working, it doesn't seem like they all of a sudden like each other - I doubt they'll ever actually like each other, Tom's too overprotective and jealous, but they've reached a realistic understanding of each other, and have agreed to put their differences aside for the sake of the person they both love more than anything else in the world. Honestly, their relationship is completely believable to me, to the point where I at times forgot this was a fictional story. It seemed real because of the way the characters interacted, and thought.
This story could have easily one completely off the wall - if you had had Bill and Adam fall in love instantly, if Tom and Adam had gotten along, etc, etc... The nuances and subtleties were what made this believable, because in all honestly, I can't imagine Bill doing something as serious as cocaine with Tom around, so by that this fic should seem unreal to me, but because of the small details you included, it actually seemed plausible, which I think is the best compliment I could give you.
I doubt that the sequel is going to be the most happy of stories, but I can hope that it will have a happy ending. Bill is going to have to "fix" so much with himself. The main thing, in my opinion, being his eating disorders, rather than the addiction. I saw the cocaine as something more as a distraction because he was so immersed in hating himself and his body, than an actually addiction. It will, of course, be hard to break the cocaine habit, but based on what I've seen of people who have eating disorders, that will be the harder part. He had his boyfriend, brother, band mates, friends and family (and fans) but he's also going to have so many people against him who will continue to drag his name through the mud and make it that much harder to recover. I can't wait to see how you handle that - if Bill's going to end up getting worse (food - wise), how Adam's going to deal with seeing the person he loves call himself ugly, fat, and think himself worthless, and of course how Tom's going to deal with that.
I certainly hope that you include Bushido (even as a cameo) in the next part - he's such an interesting character in this! Thanks for this story, I think it's the only believable Adam/Bill story on this site. All the other ones I've read have made Adam out to be some squealing fan girl who acts like a girl, and the characters have been two dimensional. Here, you;ve actually made me like Adam Lambert. 0.0
The only thing that irked me was the issues Adam was having with his management and suing. His fans will support him (it was a romantic gesture for his to go across the country to see the person he loved at the drop of a hat) and Tokio Hotel fans will definitely support him. I understand it would happen in real life, but it still bugged me that Adam was being punished for what he did. The media will eat it up though - he did skip out on a show to see Bill in the hospital, and if Adam's manager can get the press to spin it at the right angle the charges could be dropped due to public opinion. If it's the label who's suing him, they could find a way too make money of the situation, instead of losing it by dragging Adam through the mud. All they have to do is present Adam as the woebegone lover who's beautiful boyfriend is in the hospital. I'm sure that they could make things work.
If not, Adam could just mention that he was being sued for going to Bill (which made Bill happy) to Tokio Hotel fans and let his label deal with the carnage. ;)
I really enjoyed reading this!

Also, sorry for any strangeness (if there is any) with this review - I did it on my Blackberry.
Author's Response: [Those that read my stories on their phones or sneak reading during school or work are the reason I write XD that last line made me smile- true dedication!] As of right now in the story, Adam is only being sued for walking out of the show- a lot of expense went into that production and since Adam wasn't there to deliver what he'd contractually promised he would. It really isn't the biggest deal to him. I think I just needed to add that for the sake of showing the reader "look, Bill IS starting to really ruin all this guy has worked for, but he still wants to stay with him" because Adam has been giving up a lot ever since he actually was able to get Bill in his grasp. Really, a great number of things were mentioned in this story that will be carried over and blow up in the next installment. Thank you so much for reviewing, I love all of your reviews so much!

Omfg it's done.......... Why didn't I know this was the last one? D: I'm just staring at the keyboard in silence, trying to come up with something to say, but I'm blank. But I think you know, at least I hope you know, how much I loved this and I am so relieved there will be a sequel.
