All I can say is, this should have way more reviews. It's just... a perfect up and down of emotions in a little one-shot package.
Author's Response: Awww, thank you. You're so sweet. <333

This story is bittersweet but very hopeful at the same time. I smiled through this one and loved every word. :)
Author's Response: Definitely hopeful! There's always hope. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one-- I hope you enjoy the next one just as much. ♥

That was perfect, magical, so beautiful. I'm such a sucker for stories developing slowly and realistically so this is truly an enjoyment to read. I loved Way Back Home and you're only getting better!
Author's Response: Thank you SO much. That makes me so happy to hear. I'm in the middle of writing the next story, so hopefully it'll work as another piece of their puzzle. =)

You made me cry, you know that? I've saved this fic like a treasure for a moment I can concentrate on this, because I loved Way Back Home so much. This was worth it, definitely. Now I'm so emotional and exhausted of emotions at the same time.
You did this sequel so beautiful. All the pain and angst, questions, fears, trust, hope, love...love...love... all of this was squeezing me into a tiny ball when I read this. I know, this might sound stupid, but I loved this sequel very much. You just had to nugde every single weak and sensitive part of me with your twins here, right?
I realised the depth of this reading experience only when I read the line "This must be what forever feels like." and suddenly I just had to blink the tears away and I didn't even realise that.
Wonderful job, Thank you! I mean it.
Author's Response: Gah, it seems I made everyone cry! I didn't mean to, and I'm sorry, but I'm glad you liked it? lol I'm so glad you could pick up on all of their feelings (the fear, the trust, the hope, the love, etc), because I really wanted their first steps into a "relationship" to be realistic, and I don't think it's something either of them can just jump into, even if they really want to. When it hurts them, I want it to hurt. When they're happy, I want it to feel good. Thank you SO much for pointing out lovely things. It really makes me happy (and makes me want to hurry up and get the next part done!) ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm crying. This is so good.
Author's Response: I'm sorry to make you cry. But, I'm so happy that you like it. =D

This was amazingggggg! *_* I can't even tell you how much I loved this. I'm so glad you're making a series of it. :)
Author's Response: I can't tell you how much I love that you love this. And I'm happy to be making a series of it, too. I love them too much to let them go now. ;)

This made my heart ache in the best of ways. You're amazing. Just...simply amazing and I loved every word of this.
Author's Response: YOU are amazing. ♥

What a good surprise ! I was so excited to see a sequel for this story! I must say that I really like the title you choose for the series !
This follow-up was amazing, so cute and sweet !
This sentence was a beautiful piece of writing!
`` “When the time is right,” he finally promises, and Tom knows it’s a promise to hold on to until his brother will let himself be held.``
There's a lot of other really good sentences, I just adore your writing style in general, it's really clever and beautiful at the same time! :P I can't wait for the other part !
Author's Response: I love that you like the name of the series. Because I struggled with it for a long time, and then that song by Owl City came on randomly, and it just clicked for me. So, I'm glad it works for you. =) And just, thank you so, so, so much. You always leave wonderful comments. I'm so happy that you enjoy the style (I must admit, it's new for me and I was a tad bit nervous that it'd be too much). And I'm working on the next part as we speak! ♥

...I have no words for how perfect this was. Everything was just so right. There was angst and fluff and cute and so much want, I just wanted to bang their heads together for the first half, but then Bill let Tom kiss him and they began to get it! And the puppies! Ludo and Hoggle have to be the most original (and the cutest) names I've seen for them yet. The little chains that ran through it, like Bill taking everything that is Tom's, their designated-but-not chairs and Bill using Tom's cup, were just so sweet and real and believable.
Just, unf, perfect. I can't wait for the next part. =)
Author's Response: Gosh, I still don't know what to say to this. lol I'm SO glad that you thought everything fit well and was...well, perfect? I really wanted to give them some happiness and fluff time. And as far as the dogs...I asked people on twitter what to name them, and everyone kept giving me food names, so, of course I went a completely different route and used the Labyrinth references. haha I think they're cute names, and I'd almost be willing to name my own dogs Hoggle and Ludo. =D I can't wait to write more of the puppies. Oh, and the twins. ;)

Ohhhhh!
*wibbles*
Aw, Bill. God, I wanna huggle you both so badly right now. Yes. Yes, it's time. You two deserve this forever and it doesn't really matter where you have it as long as you're together.
Oh, honey. This brought the happiest tears to my eyes, to see them like this. It was a bit touch and go at the beginning, but everything Bill does it's for a reason and sometimes Tom loses track of that while other times he doesn't.
Every future he's ever imagined is centered around Bill and I can clearly imagine how wonderful their forever will be like.
They are already married in heart, and soul. Last, it will be body and my goodness, how beautiful and perfect that will be!
Them and their puppies, until the end of time. LOVE this universe so much. So so so so much.
Author's Response: I didn't mean to make anyone cry, but I'm really glad that they're happy tears and that you enjoyed it. They really are already married in heart and soul. And I can't wait for it to be body, either. Because you're right...it's going to be beautiful and fantastic and perfect. Thank you so, so, so much. <3333

Awww, this was lovely! I love that they seem to be in the same page finally and that Bill allowed Tom to assuage his fears that this is not what he really wants and is only doing it for him. Thanks for the fantastic update!
Author's Response: I'm glad they finally made it to the same page, too. They definitely deserved it. Thank you so much for another fantastic review. ♥

Ach, this was so heartbreakingly sweet. I loved it, and it wasn't even a smut fic (which I normally read) Just beautifully written and the image of Bill making Tom cookies and being so domestic like that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside LOL
Author's Response: I'm so glad it caused the warm fuzzies! I wanted to give them a little bit of happiness since they went through so much in Way Back Home. I think they deserved it. =) Thank you so much for the review. ♥ ♥ ♥
