I have left a review on other stories of yours, but wanted to say that I enjoyed this one too! For starters -- this was written AMAZINGLY. Funny that it was Fyredancer's prompt because if no one told me I'd have thought Fyre wrote it, like it was that well done. Next is Bill's character. He was SO funny and sweet and his clueless mental flailing during most of the interactions were to die for. Tom's character had a few lines/reactions that made me lol as well. In a super weird way I feel like if Bill were to really meet someone on vacation and instantly fall for them, it seems like it would play out JUST like this LOL. I don't know why but it gives me that total "this could happen" vibe (minus the sex demon factor obv!). I read it all in one sitting while nursing a light hangover from a night out and it just hit all the right spots. As many others stated, a sequel would have been OUTSTANDING, it STILL would, but alas THF has been long abandoned by many and this was posted ages ago.

I think a smutty one-shot sequel is a PERFECT idea XD I also think there should be an epilogue as a kind of second chapter to that smutty one-shot - one where Nina has had that little girl and boy mentioned in Bill's daydream on this page, and they're all on a trip somewhere... Also, just wondering, how is PR going to work out how to spin Nina to the public??? I think that's another story for this world right there... I would be so happy if you wrote that story...

It is the third time I read this fic. I love it, and the day that the sequel is on i'm going to do a happy dance :)

Not me. If I could shape shift I would be her in a blink!
Author's Response: Lol, fair enough!

I can't believe she would freak out like that. Silly girl! Doesn't she know what she is missing?
Author's Response: Lol! In her defence, I think a lot of people would freak in reality!

every day I look if you started your sequel yet, i know it takes time....but I hope it will not take to much time...I don't want to forget about this story
Author's Response: Aww, I'm glad you enjoyed the fic so much but realistically, it probably won't be until after Christmas because I have some Christmas fics to get done. I hope that's not too late for you, lol.

I very throughly enjoued this story, every update was a joy and a delight that I looked forward to reading and recieved in my email in box. I'm incredibly pleased and a little disappointed by this ending. The almost about to leave and she shows up in a traffic jam is both incredibly cheesey and such a perfect romance movie ending that I can't help but squeal with delight. It made me so happy that got together and I'm sure it will be a bit of a struggle for them but I'm sure they'll work it out. This is where my disappointment comes into play; I would have really really liked an epilogue something to tie up the lose ends of the story just a glimpse into the future to know it really was a happily ever after. Oh and I really really really wanted a sweaty hot sex scene with Tom, Bill and Nina it would have been fucking amazing!!!! At the very least I politely demand a sexy sexy hot sex scen; this is of course followed by a foot stomp,with arms crossed and a solid pout. Thank you.
Author's Response: LOL. I have no qualms in admitting it's a bit cliche, though it's not meant to be a traffic jam - Nina's blocked the road with her car so their car can't pass. The point was more that it was time for her to come after them, and also to go back to the child image and that this is less about sex than about building a family. However, on the sex front I had planned the epilogue to include that but... I had a word limit, which is why you got the nice romantic finale that acted to end the fic nicely, without needing the smut. If/when I have time, I do want to write the smutty first time, but I also want to write some more substantial sequel that will tackle the parts you're probably thinking of as loose ends - like if I did tackle life back in Germany, I need to consider the impact on Nina's life that being with the twins has, how they present it to the public, and her relationship with Tom. It was just too much to do justice in 4k, so I preferred to let it stand and point to a hopeful future than rush it and ruin the fic

I love it please continue with a one shot or a sequel that would be great.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

I'll try not to beg, but I would like it so much if you continued this story in subsequent tales...
Author's Response: Thank you! ♥ I truly appreciate that!

Perfect ending to a perfect story! This was such an enjoyable journey, I can't believe I liked a fic this much when the pairing wasn't mainly Bill/Tom :) Thank you so much for sharing this story with us! I really enjoyed this universe you created, it was so original and well-written! If you write a sequel in the future, I'll read it for sure !
Author's Response: Thank you! Thank you so much for reading and sharing your experience; it truly means a lot. Thank you again :D

Oh dear oh me. I’ve been so very busy lately but I must review. This story is wonderful and doesn’t get the love it deserves. The die hard t*cesters only want t*cest and the die hard het readers only want het and this awesome little story kind of falls in the middle. Please know that it IS loved and very much appreciated. For me this is one of the two stories that I very much look forward to getting an update for and the other one I’m lucky if I get an update once a month, so this really makes my week when I see that it’s been updated.
Author's Response: Thank you so much - I really, really appreciate how much you like this fic and it touches me a great deal. I think part of the reason for lack of reviews is people who read it as part of the FQF on LJ though, as well as the fact that you're right - it's a bit too in the middle! Thank you again though.

Your intro sentence immediately put me at ease, I was very worried we’d go into uber angst. And it’s so incredibly sweet how worried Tom got. He handled it very well. I like that Nina could feel Bill, I like that the bond is already forming, I like that the concept is introduced here and explained subtly and implicitly later on. I like that Bill’s not sorry for what he said but how it made her feel, I like that he realizes the difference and doesn’t apologize. I like that she get some semblance of courage and makes them explain, I like that she doesn’t run. I like that Tom tries to run to protect Bill, I like that Bill doesn’t let him. I liked how you portrayed the tension of the next few days between Bill and Tom and things not said. I like that it hurt but not too much because they still have each other. I like that they know when to say enough and to go on living their lives but still hope that she’ll come and find them. I hope for the big gesture on her part.
What struck me most about Bill and Tom’s phone interaction after Nina abandoned Bill was not what was said and done but how it was viewed, “He’s so good, such a perfect big brother”. Not lover, boyfriend or whatever title you, he, they could give it, but brother. I found it very striking that “brother” came first, I really liked that, it inspires me to skew any twincest I ever write in the future, brother comes first then the other titles.
Author's Response: So glad you liked how this section progressed - the big reveal and having it handled realistically is always a huge challenge, so I'm entirely squeeful that you liked how that progressed. With regard to the point about brother vs. lover, I hadn't really thought about that before, but I think it reflects a lot of how I see the twins, and the fact that it's not necessarily about being 'more than brothers' - most people like the twins relationship so much because they're 'more than lovers', having this very deep soulmate bond. Idk, something to ponder!

Bill has to get up because he’s so excited, that is so damn cute! And Tom “looking incestuous” but ending up looking lecherous is just hilarious! I love love love that Nina knows their first date was in the café! “Sex addict”!!! It’s so true and so inaccurate. I cackled with laugher at this. Bill and Nina’s conversation in the car about the other really being a murder is so natural, I’ve totally had this conversation. I love that Nina’s the one seducing but isn’t “hop on pop” kind of seducing. The moment his incubus nature popped to the surface I was a glow with excitement and then Nina didn’t take it so well did she. It’s accurate and holds true with the story but it’s still a buzz-kill. I’m also kind of shocked that she’d just abandon him on the beach, that’s harsh.
Author's Response: I can't stress how much I appreciate your reviews - I love all the reviews I get, but you pick out a lot of the little details that I put in and it makes me squeeful to know they're all appreciated. I agree, it was rather a buzz-kill, but hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end XD

I love how nervous Bill is to go on a date with Nina. I love how incredibly nervous he gets. And the hypocrite monologue I love! I so think this every time I see him in leather jacket, boots, pants! He won’t eat it but he’ll wear it?! I really enjoyed Nina catching them both unawares half dressed completely unready to greet the day. And I love that Bill’s instinct, lol and his very embarrassing lie, was what saved the day. That makes me very very happy.
Author's Response: I did feel a little mean to Bill in this, but it was a lot of fun to write, too. I'm glad you enjoyed the banter over the leather and his tall tales :D
Date: 10/07/10 11:17 pm Title: Chapter 5
Well at least Nina wasn't completely disgusted and didn't completely cut herself off from them.
Besides, aren't the best things worth waiting for?
LOVED this, can't wait for more!
XD
Author's Response: Thank you! And yes, the best things are :D ♥
