Wow. I just read this over a second time as I was looking through my re iewed stories. Why had I not favorited this?! *slaps self*
This is some amazing wonderful perfect stuff! Your writing flowed beautifully and the descriptions were vivid and evocative. Beautiful story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm flattered that you favorited this. :) I was a bit nervous about how the writing flowed because I had plotted this out block by block, but I'm glad that it works well! Thank you for your review.

It's so sweet, especially the moment of twins' birth:)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Awwww, this was darling. So sweet and fluffy. It was well written and a pleasure to read.
It made me realize however that I've read sooo many stories like this, and the difference between the good writer and the not so good ones is not the fact that they come up with something unique, but that they tell it in such a way that it feels unique. The re-telling of the twins life always has certain key elements: Tom taking care of young Bill, their Dad leaving, Tom taking a few punches for Bill in grade-school, kissing the same girl, first big music hit. The difference is the writing skills- some stories, like this one, keep you hooked till the end, even though you already know the ending, and all the events leading up to it.
I liked this one. :) Keep writing!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Since I am still a fairly new fish in the TH fandom, I've not yet been exposed to all the things that have been told time and time again the fiction community. However, I am so glad that you mentioned that things have to be retold uniquely. I'm happy that you think I wrote this in a way that made it enjoyable, even if certain parts of the story have been written time and time again. Thank you for your honest review. :)

Someone recced this fic to me, and I'm so glad they did. All of these snapshots are gorgeous, seriously. I'm especially partial to the first and the last, but the rest are just as beautiful. This fic right here encompasses so many of the things that drew me to the twinlove in the first place. Really nicely done, and I'd love to see more TH fics from you. :)
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! I can't believe someone recommended this to you personally, but I'm glad they were moved enough to do so! Thank you for the wonderful complements, these are the things that draw me into the twin love as well. :) I appreciate your feedback.

ANGIE. This is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. You have such a way with words, I swear, and... gah *swoons* ILU.
Author's Response: Thank you, beautiful! I'm flattered that you think so. :) I love you tooooo.
Date: 05/10/10 09:29 pm Title: It was always after.
It's beautiful. May you please make a sequel to this? But from Bill's perspective?
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm actually not even thinking about a sequel about this yet, but it may happen sometime in the future. Possibly from Bill's perspective, and maybe from the "before" stand. I'm not sure, but thank you for suggesting it! Thanks for reviewing. :)

This was nothing short of fantastic. I love this glimpse into Tom's head, it worked perfectly!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)

Wow! This is really good. I thought your take on Tom's thoughts were spot-on, and your descriptions of his thoughts and feelings were true to character. Granted, I'm new to the whole Tokio Hotel thing, music and all, so I don't know a whole lot about the actual people, but I did like what I read. Went to check out what else you read, because I liked this one so much, but when I saw this was the only story, my only thought was, "Dang it, I'll have to read this one again!" :-) So, you did quite well for your first time out, I hope to read more stories from you in the future! Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm a little new to writing TH fic as well, but I'm glad that I made Tom's voice believeable! I am currently working on another fic or two, but I'm incredibly flattered that you liked this enough to search for my other fics! Thank you for the flattering review. :)

This is Caitlin on Phoe's account.
"his face pressed against one that mirrored his own" I fucking LOVED this line. It was soo... gaah. I'm glad you had Tom change his dreads to cornrows for a practical reason... because THERE WOULD BE NO OTHER REASON ACCEPTABLE THAN HEAT. *longs for the old hair*.
I love the repitition and the way you structured this.
OH and THIS LINE WAS A FUCKING MASTER: "It was after the millionth interview of Bill prattling about true love that Tom realized that Bill was speaking directly to him" AAAHhhhhh.
Anyway, this was awesome and I love you very very very much,
-Lost Pterodactyl < definitely just had to look up the spelling for that...
Author's Response: I love you and the fact that you've picked up my habit of unnecessarily using capslock. :D I had to have Tom's hair change be practical because he is a grandpa with his style and his dreads were the shit and nobody likes being hot. Nobody. Thank youuuu for your kind words, dearest. <3

Beautifully written! XD
Author's Response: Thank you!

This story really made me aaaawww. Tom's love is so sweet and I love how you incorporated recent events into the story. It just makes twincest seem all that much more plausible.
Thanks for the wonderful fluff and beautiful portrayal of twinsie love.
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I love the idea of it all coming together into the love they have now. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

Wow..
After I finished reading this, after reading the last sentence "Bill", I smiled, teared up, and breathed. That was amazing. *__*
*breathes in to start very long review*
Okay...
That was just lovely! =3 The way you showed them grow up and how attached they were. From young Bill playing with puppies, to the divorce, start of band, Maldives, interviews, and modeling act.
I always wondered why Bill would say, "I want a soulmate" then next second Tom will say Bill is his soulmate and Bill will agree. I always go, "What the freak Bill?! You idiot what are you talking about? -______-" and this fic made me realize it more. XD I know it's probably not true, but I'm just saying. They're so more than brothers, I mean, twin brothers are close, but they are more than that. Usually boys, brothers, whatever end up going on on their own by high school or so. I know a pair of male twins, they do sit together all the time, they're fourteen. I don't know them too well, but they decided they still want to look the same, and they still dress the same... It's that the Kaulitz twins are a whole 'nother story. You have a protecter and the weaker twin. It's destined to end a powerful feeling. Bill has always been clingy, and he needs Tom..
Bill found his true love when he was born. Tom did too. Those girls, he doesn't love them, he loves their sex. Bill will be the only human he will ever feel that way to.
When you mentioned Tom being drunk or on drugs during the DS Squared thing, I loled. Just because, he did look kind of off in those photos. o.o Or I'm terribly confused??
I loved how this long oneshot just emphasized their love for one another. It was glorious, and I couldn't have asked for anything better to read at the moment. I need to read it again, to recapture the emotions, and because I know I didn't read every single word. ;_;
This was just beautiful. The Kaulitz twins are the most lovely people ever. I've never known of a bond so strong and powerful like them. God gave them a gift. A twin. And if we all had twins, would we all be good people? Identical twins btw. =]
Loved it. < 3
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for such a comprehensive review! It seems like you understood everything that I was trying to portray in this story, even the things that I didn't say outright. I completely agree with you for the soulmates things. Bill says he wants a soulmate and then Tom and Bill agree that they're each other's soulmates. That's just obvious haha. ;) And you're right, their relationship is profound. I'm convinced that Tom was drunk and stoned during the DSquared2 show, so that's how I wrote him. :) Again, thank you for the kind review. I'm glad that you liked this enough to reread it!
