I don't even know if 'I love it' can justify my feelings for this fic. I know I've said that before but honestly, this has me speechless. It's so beautiful.
...I need to find better synonyms, because I'm running out of good ones, now.
All I can say is that like everything else that you will ever write, I am in love with this and I squee with delight and wince a little at the hurty and damnit, I love it so much.
I use the word love too often but I don't know any other word that can describe what I feel for your work.
I thought about pasting in my favourite parts, but that would make this review way too long and just full of quotes.
I love this and I love you. (I would get poetic but it's getting late and I need to go to bed soon--and the poetry would be purpley and neverending blah)

Dangerous and Beautiful. I love it! It's like an obsidian knife blade, shiny and beautiful but can cut you deep and make you bleed. Awesome, beautiful and poetic without being overly lofty. Well done!

I think that this line was better than the fic as a whole I know that some of this may seem a little too mature for some of the things that I have heard come out of Tom's mouth but I am standing firm in the belief he could not possibly that stupid all the time. It made me laugh so hard!

This was such an intense and dark fic, but it was still really enjoyable to read. I love how the thoughts Tom have are very complex, but you expressed them in a simple yet effective way. You took obscure and made it easier to picture and understand. Lovely story!
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I was very nervous about posting it because my writing style is very esoteric and I didn't want to offend anyone.

This is quite descriptive! I enjoyed the colorful imagery. Describing Bill using a Christmas Ornament normally comes off kitschy, but you did it very well. Thank you for a beautiful, thought-provoking tale.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I was a little worried about that part to tell you the truth. I was afraid that it would come over as garishly cute and ruin the whole thing. Most people see Christmas as this fluffy, happy ordeal and I love twisting that around.

Interesting. I liked. All kind of mental play is always interesting. Maybe because I personally refuse to believe that we see the whole truth and nothing but as much as I refuse to see Tom as he is often portrayed. He is so much more. So is Bill. Sometimes it makes me angry to realise that very often people don't understand.
Ups, sidetracks. Back to the fic. I like the way how nothing much happens, but you go through twins' relationship, world and life in a little movements and acts. I don't think you wrote Tom wrong at all. Also the analyzing of Bill's layers was interesting.
I must say also that I admired this chapter:
"Bill is a million bright shards of insanity wrapped in dreams and spider webs. The Prince that grew tired of being locked in the tower and found his own way out, if not down. Bill is empty rooms filled with secrets that swirl and dance in the light of camera flashes and street lights shinning into hotel windows to the sounds of moans and screams that shouldn’t be given breath."
It was genious.
Nice work. Digging deep like it should do.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I must admit that the only reason my writing style became that descriptive is because my dialog leaves much to be desired.
