Oh, my!
I'm just overwhelmed. I read both versions and, even if I'm no fan of death-fics either, I found this last one to be completely moving and touching.
Though, it made me feel kind of sorry for Bill.
At the beginning, I thought it was him the one that was dead and that he'd come back to pick up Tom, so they could go together. I think you sort of tricked me there.
Anyway, what I loved in both versions was the fact that Bill mentioned he had heard rumors and people saying it was Tom; while Tom said no one really payed attention to his story. It was some sort of comfort that Bill got the message, in the end.
As for the original version, I'm glad that, at least, Tom died in acknowledge of Bill's forgiveness (being it delusional or not); but as I said before, Bill, he's just heartbreaking. He'll just lay there feeling guilty for the rest of his life. Poor him.
Thanks for sharing! You did a great job.
See ya.

Author's Response: Thank you for the long review. ^-^ I would have left the original. It just felt so much more complete, but at the same time... I do not like killing either of the twins ever. So my heart ached too much and I had to rectify that. So I had to write the second version to soothe myself. I thank you for liking it. It's hard to please some people.

BTW-is it possible to save both version's to fav's? I forgot to when I first read it.

Author's Response: I think will post the original as a second chapter. >.<

Aw. I love that song, and this is such a beautifully written piece.

Author's Response: I really did have to change it. I had written it and I had just bawled like a baby, I couldn't do it. I feel better now that Tom lives. ^0^ so yes, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like it when people appreciate what I write.

So tragic....
