Oh Tom.....Oh Bill.....and....Oh Bill.....
Even though most of the stories you write have not-so-happy endings, and I almost wanna hate 'em, but the beauty of each story can't be ignored. That is why, I love them. You're amazing!

I'm super belated in reviewing, but this story has always been so beautiful. You're words are so poetic and filled with such raw emotion, and I just feel completely drawn to this story. I can't even really describe how fantastically this was written. You're truly talented. And it feels so real that it makes me want to cry. Beautiful job :)

This is so beautifully written, I really love your writing style. Too bad it has such a sad ending though. But thank you for writing this anyway!

hauntingly beautiful.

I can't find the proper words to describe how touching and well written this was. I usually don't like "sad" finals, but this was absolutely perfect and accurate.

My English is horrible forgive me...
I meant 'probably not the best thing to read before bed'
I recalled 'you got an award for this, very well deserving'
Date: 06/15/11 11:11 pm Title: Ankles & Angles
Wow...just wow. I remember reading that got a writing award for this? Very well deserving in that award, you got every aspect of anorexia down on the dot. I had a friend that suffered from this and every you wrote was scarily accurate. The low self esteem and constant weighing between meals.
Very well written I'm all emotional now. Probably best the best thing read before going to bed. I applaud you and your fantastic use of metaphors

I think this is a beautifully written story. I've never been able to find enough fiction about eating disorders, so I'm very glad that I found this. I like how you explained both Bill and Tom's thinking and made them both sympathetic characters.

Oh... Oh... Okay.
You know I adore your writing, right? Every single piece I've read from you? This is no way an exception. How can you wrap so much emotion, so huge piece of life and people in such few words?
I know Bill's weight is a sensitive topic in this fandom. Especially during the last autumn it was. He was (is) so thin. So.... almost non-existant. The most sickening was that while I said that I so hope he'd gain few pounds, because that's not healthy, I hypocritely admired him looking so good in so many design clothes. Beter than models wearing them.
I still don't know how to feel about it. Luckily it looks like he has gained few pounds during the summer and it's all good, but it is true that he is still underweight and there is no way to explain it away. Just that... he is looking more fine now.
But I got sidetracked.. I just wanted to tell that your way to capture emotions and make them make sense is phenomenol. You make people understand WHY and that's very rare skill.
I don't need happy ends. I want to feel my heart bleeding. :)
Author's Response:
Gwah, thank you. :)
I already explained my opinion of Bill's weight somwhere in another response...and I'm not really fretted by it. I do recall him looking obscenely thin while on vacation and I did worry about it, but I'm not worried about him. I know he's alright. They're both thin and always have been and always will be. I know it's difficult to gain weight.
But anyway, yes, thank you very much.

Your stories are always sad and heartbreaking, but beautiful all the same because you write them so superbly. Amazing job, as usual. *favorites*

Also, I totally forgot to mention I agree with SephoraChise. I know we keep going back and forth on the forum about it. No, it's natural. No, it's not, he's too thin. No, he's supposed to be that thin, he's a stressed-out guy. But...well, who knows. :/ It scares me that it might be real, and this oneshot made me think of that and it just convinced me even more, because it was written so perfectly and it makes me think that everything you wrote...might be real.

Oh, shush, don't be a Negative Nancy, Sav. Let's not go there.

I don't think I'd like your stories as much if they had happy endings. You're better at writing the sad ones, anyway. People always ask me why I write the twins almost always committing suicide at the end but I think sad endings that end in death or hurt are better than happy ones that end in flowers and rainbows, because we know sadness more. A lot of times we don't really know what it means to be truly happy and we're just writing an expected happy ending. But pain and sadness...that's something that we know a lot better. Humans in general, I mean. I hope that made sense. XD
Mm, as always, your oneshots are astonishingly amazing. You rocked the Eating Disorder category and you made me want to write more of December now because Bill has purging anorexia in it. :o Your description is absolutely fabulous and I'm so glad you wrote this to share with the rest of us. I always love seeing your oneshots in the Recent page because they're so fucking amazing. :)
Author's Response:
I've gotten past the suicide writing phase, now. -shrug- But happiness isn't normally the way things go.
rnThank you vairmuh. :) You're welcome too lawl.

You've wrote this so perfectly, you've captured the mental anguish and suffering a person with an eating disorder goes through, and you've portrayed Tom sososo well. The way he has to watch Bill go through so much suffering, and thats all he can do because until Bill decides to change nothing Tom can ever do will stop it.
Perfect, you've captured everything so perfectly, and your writing style is flawless.
Very well done, you're very talented and it was refreshing to read! :)

That was so beautiful and -accurate- and swept me along. My heart feels like I read 100 000 words when I read just a few.
I know this story was about Bill not eating, but I your words spoke to me because it wasn't just about Bill not eating; it was about denial and pain and illness and blindness, and all of those are more common than when one is starving. So this story speaks to more people than it speaks of.
So beautiful, my heart's breaking. I want a happy ending so bad, but I kind of get it - in a story like this, you would need a 100 000 words to get there, because happy endings don't come easily to people like your Bill, and that's why Tom gave the scale back, I 'm sure.
Just, wonderful.
Author's Response:
Any disorder is about more than just the disorder; it's about denial and pain and illness and blindness and everything else. Thank you very much. :)

Wonderful style and the topic was perfect. I like how you reduced it down to one tendon and made it this giant thing before reducing again.
Author's Response:
I like reducing. :) Thank you.
