This is so good. Please tell me you haven't given up on it?

Author's Response: Of course not!! never give up...just working a lot...next chapters almost ready thought

I love this and I can't wait to see how Bill and Tom's next meeting goes ;) The power that Bill has is amazing and the way it makes Tom react is even more interesting. I will be waiting for the next chapter, hope it's soon ;)

Author's Response: I'm sorry it's taken so long but it's almost ready, and thank you for liking it so far.

Jadis, I apologize for how long it has taken me to review this story. I specifically made up time today to go over it, as this story deserves nothing less than my full attention.

I cannot for the life of me understand why I waited so long to read this, as I am a huge fan of "As close as possible". That story was the second one I added to my short favourites list, and it will forever hold its place as one of my all time favourite stories of this site (if not the very top of the list). I searched over your stories and finally opened this one a few weeks ago. Normally I make a point of commenting as I read, but I found myself being (for lack of a better word) sucked into the story and unable to tear myself away from it long enough to review. Again, I apologize.

This story is so drastically different from ACAP, it was not what I had expected at all. ACAP showcased your marvelous ability to portray the strange and tense beauty of the twins' relationship, and it was a successful portrait of something that has come to be the root of my comparisons for all other stories in the twincest genre. When I saw that DAF would not be a twincest, I was curious to see how well you pulled it off.

I adore your character of Tom. He is dark and mysterious, while still holding on to my interest. He does not seem so fantastical that he is beyond the realm of understanding. In contrast, he is actually very realistic and believable. I want to use the phrase "human" when I refer to him, but it seems difficult to do so. Although he is human, his emotions thus far seem so very sociopathic that it is hard to think of him as such. I crave more and more of him just so that I can crawl deeper into his psyche, understand more of how he thinks and feels.

My biggest fear with Tom right now is that I don't understand his inner dialogue enough. I can see patterns in how he reacts to the situations that you put him into, but what thoughts are actually crawling around in his mind are very closed off to the reader. I fear that he will go through some sort of change now that he is interacting with Bill, and I will be left in the dark as to what type of metamorphosis is really happening in his head (and possibly his heart).

Now Bill is a completely different feeling for me than Tom is. Whereas I feel I have quite a handle on who Tom is, I feel almost nothing for Bill. Again I believe it may be an inner dialogue issue for me. Perhaps this is something I am simply used to as I use it often in my own writing, and in which case I will have to learn how to let it go and move on. I don't feel I have any feel for who he is, although I find him immensely intriguing. He is beautiful (as usual), and far more untouchable and sensual than I normally read his character as. It almost makes him feel more real in this story as, (like the real Bill Kaulitz) there is very little given to the reader about his inner thoughts and his past.

I wonder if Bill really misses anything at all? He seems content to let his past disappear without a second though, which makes me wonder why he would miss his freedom at all, and why he isn't simply content to live a life of luxury with the relative freedom that Arthur provides him with?

In essence, as your reader I feel I crave more of Tom's inner world, and more of Bill's past in order to feel more connection to the characters. Both of them are wonderful and full of depth, but they seem very distant and unapproachable from the outside. Your sense of describing your scenes is perfect, and I can feel the walls of your world holding me as I read every chapter. Complete immersion.

I cannot wait for more.

Author's Response: Oh I love this review...I'll hurry and write more...

Thanks for the update! I can't wait for more!!

Bill is so mysterious and I really like it. I just can't wait for Tom to see him. This will be interesting :)

Bill's composure continues to interest me.

One thing you might want to fix in your writing is the addition of commas in some places.
These sentences: "Never mind son." and "I have one dad." should be written as "Never mind, son." and "I have one, dad."

Without the comma, the meaning is changed to something you don't intend, like I thought at first that Tom had literally said he had one dad.

Author's Response: you are right, sorry...I have so little time to make sure everything is perfect...

OMGGGGGGGG> MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
