Reads like this make me wish hearts can be detached from our bodies so we can attach them back after the moment's passed. ;_;
;_;
You write like euphoria.

What a sad story... Very skillfully written.

I had this bookmarked for months and for whatever unexplained reason hadn't read it until now. I'm so glad I finally got to do it, and I just saw there are also a couple more in this universe, which makes me very happy.
I absolutely loved it - immediately favorited it. It's so weird that I avoid reading stuff with certain topics - eating disorders, disabilities, bullying etc. - because they're rarely done right and I end up disappointed, yet your fics are so well-done that not only do I read them, but I end up loving them too. Wishbones is one of my most favorite stories ever. Retrograde had felt like a strong punch in the gut when I finished it. Star of David makes me feel so uncomfortable and sad, yet all I want is moooore. This one made me ache in the best of ways.
My point is, you have a great way to portray thoughts and feelings that mostly make the reader feel compassion and maybe even sadness. I'm so glad you got to write for this fandom. I know how important it is to get feedback and I, like you, don't review that much because I always feel I don't have anything helpful to say. But lately, I'm trying to change that because it's never pointless to leave a nice word.
Anyway, sorry for rambling. I loved this and thank you for writing. It's always a pleasure to read something from you.
Author's Response:
Awww no, no, don't apologize for rambling! I like rambling! I like it lots! (And I tend to do it too.)
rnI'm so flattered, it makes me so happy to know that you and others think they're well done. That's my biggest intent with them; I really hate when people write disorders/disabilities/conditions and they're poorly done and not realistic and not believable. I like to make them true to life as much as I can and I don't like stigmas. So.
rnAnd aw you've read my two long stupid stories that just mostly annoy me now. I'm glad you want more! You must always want more! Always. (It gives me purpose.)
rnI JUST REALLY LIKE MAKING PEOPLE FEEL FEELS.
rnOkay yes thank you so much you're v lovely and hi hello I also have read a few of your things and have them favorited.

I don't have words to describe how this made me feel. It was like fate.

This story is so beautifully written. I know a story is good when I want to cry while reading it. Even when I think back to it, I get that sad feeling. This story is one I will never forget. I absolutely loved it. One of my absolute favorites.

God there is no words to say how I feel. I just love this and it really made me teary eyed. I was shocked on how it end. One getting to hear and the other not.

Oh beautiful, I want to cry....so bitter sweet. I cant wait to read the rest.

Oh no =( It's so sad but beautifully written !

i have read so many people's comments on stories saying how they cried and such, and i always thought, "that's so stupid, it's just a story, it's sad, but not worth crying over."
and then i read this. it has to be one of the most beautiful, well written stories on this site. the part about finally saying bills name and i was in tears. then the gay acceptance part was so sweet. and then ending, oh man, so sad but sweet. amazing job, really.
Author's Response:
I've always thought the same thing! And then there was one fic I read and I was tearing by the end, it was insane. XD
Thank you so much.

wow! I love this! It s so nice to see something about deafness or hearing impairment.
You see, I was born deaf. I can hear a little (have to have my music very loud though lol), lip read very well, and took 19 years of speech therapy to be able to speak clearly.
I understand what you meant when you said "a majority of that part of the family seems to equate hearing-impaired with mental retardation.".... a lot of my family and people who do not know me also equates hearing impairment to being mentally challenged. I also refused to be placed into special classes and went all through school in regular mainstream classes. I had to work harder sometimes, but I still managed to do it.
Thank you for writing something I can relate to. Thank you for pointing out misconceptions people have about deafness. Thank you for showing that we are people too.
I look forward to reading the next installment.
Author's Response:
I think your comment means the most to me. I spoke to someone who was deaf in one ear for several years (but she'd been fine before and could hear with it when I spoke to her), looking for assistance in writing this, since I knew nothing about deafness.
Hearing from someone who was born this way (pun unintended, lol) like I made Tom, and having them tell me that they could relate and it was believable...that's my main goal. Especially since a lot of your experience has been the same as his. I mean, just, it makes it feel complete, to me. Like I've done something right. ^-^ It always means a lot when people tell me that they like my work, but for someone who's gone through it to be able to understand it from a different point of view, that's the truest feeling of achievement in my book.
So, actually, you're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome - but thank you for making me feel successful.

Oh my gosh, this story ;__; its so beautiful and poignant and well-written! Definitely on my favorites now!

I can't believe the end. This was just so beautiful and sad and fluid. This is one of those stories that makes me feel nostalgic, without ever having experienced anything like this at all.

*sigh* I don't know, I really don't... How do you do this? I feel again so emotionally drained, moved, located so deep into this universe. Just like after I read Billateral.
You have an amazing talent to write different inabilities and not just those, but build heart breaking, heart clenching stories around them. It's impossible to just read without diving deep into the lives of your characters. You can write emotions and feelinmgs very few people can.
I loved this. I have nothing else to say. I am out of words before the beauty of this. Thank you for giving me this reading experience.

This is amazing. I really like it.

Thank you!

Oh my goodness. This was amazing. So sad, and Bill was just so sweet throughout the entire story. God...that is just...wow. I have no words to describe how purely amazing this is. This actually made me cry! It's very hard to do that, you know? So you should be proud!
I think it's so sad how once Tom gets the implants, Bill loses his hearing. :[ But it was also amazing. Good job.
Author's Response:
Awww. -offers tissues- I suppose I am proud then, if it's really that hard! And apparently a few of you cried, so yeah.
I wasn't going to have that ending at first. I had two different endings, but this one seemed right.
