I don't know how I've missed this, but I did. Fail. But oh, this was wonderful. Not even the perfect relationship is, well... Perfect. :-) It was quite a journey, but I do like the way you write. Straight to the point without any ruffles. Very nice! So thank you for the read! I'll be reccing this at TokioHotelSlash.Livejournal.Com. ;-)

And now I finally know what love-hate is. I fucking love and hate this story. XD
I wanted to kill Tom and at the same hug him. Anyway, the detailing you presented was amazingly realistic. Here,there and everywhere, the story was so painfully beautiful.It's such a wonderful work,this.

This story is just perfect, I don't even know what else to say. You describe the feelings so good, it was just like I was with them in the story.
I really want to translate this story in french, so can you give me your agreement?
Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you, what a compliment! And I would be honored if you would translate it, if you will give me a link to it when you're finished?

I absolutely loved this fic! I don't think I have ever read something that is so emotional. I could feel every emotion that Bill was feeling. I could picture the way Tom was hurting as well. I could feel the love, the pain, the heartbreak, and the joy. I could see the hope.
This is an exquisite piece of art and I thank you for sharing it. You are so very talented and am looking forward to reading more of your stories.
Author's Response: This is the most difficult thing I've written so far, mainly because it's not something that I've ever been though. So I'm so very happy to know that you think that I did it well, and that it made such an impact for you.
Thank you for your kind words, thank you so, so much! It really means a lot to me. I'm grinning to my ears right now! ♥

I can't believe how good this story was... I mean the energies of it, all raw and violent and pure and beautiful and honest and real and painful... as life itself. I felt for Bill so, so much and I am so glad he stood up for himself, showing Tom how enraged and hurt he truly was. His punches felt actually kind of good, sweet almost.
The first chapter must have been my favorite one... I actually cried. When you believe that everything is beautiful and rosy and in one minute the whole life around you crashes down and you start to question everything you were certain of... that's heartbreaking. You managed to create a splendid build-up, all love and roses and then it was smashed, just like that. The contrast, the energies, the emotional explosion, it was all so good. I have to say though that despite the fact that cheating is never right and there's never a good time for it, Tom's timing was pure evil; on a day when they were supposed to celebrate, just a couple of minutes before Bill returned from his work... I was surprised Bill didn't kill him the moment realization hit him what had happened.
You used the time markers throughout the whole story really, really nicely, it made it so much more vivid and real somehow.
Healing and forgiving is a rough ride and you portrayed it so nicely, I enjoyed it immensely. I would definitely love to read the story from Tom's POV too because I think he also deserves his take on a story, his voice to be heard. I would like to read about his mental processes, inner chaos his misstep must have created, all the pain, also regret and shame. Also, it would be really great to read what brought him to do it in the first place (cheating I mean). You mentioned he just found the chick attractive, but it surely takes more that just that to be willing to throw a loving, long-term relationship out of the window.
Anyhow, that was a marvelous, fabulously well written story:-) Thank you for writing it.
Author's Response: Oh wow, I don't know what to say. I just... thank you. Thank you so much! It warms my heart knowing that you picked up on so much, and that if affected you so profoundly. The is one of the my more emotional fics, and there were a lot of things that I was iffy about, so I'm so glad that the emotions stuck out to you the way that they did; that's definitely what I was going for. I'm blushing so much over all of the compliments, and I just... eee! I don't know what to say, haha!
There is actually a second part in the works from Tom's pov. I can't say when it'll be posted, but it will be, eventually. Cheating happens for many reason, most of them shallow; Bill was extremely generous with Tom, I'd say.
Once again, thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It warms my heart that you think so highly of it, honestly. ♥

Wow. I'm quite speechless now. Seriously, this is so damn good. When I started to read it, I was completely sure that even if the ending ended up being an happy one, I would not be able to forgive Tom. You prove me wrong. The way you wrote this, I feel like I've been through the same things as Bill and I've come to peace with what Tom did. The ending was absolutely beautiful and the only thing I can think of is that I'm so happy for them. They are totally meant to be and I'm sure they're gonna be very happy. So sweet tho named their daughter Hope, totally fitting!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! I'm very glad I decided to give this story a try and even more glad that someone recommended it to me, otherwise I probably wouldn't had the chance to read it and I would have miss something amazing!
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you were able to feel as if you were going through everything with Bill, and yet still forgive him in the end. =D They definitely had a tough time of it, and coming to the point of forgiveness took a lot of time for Bill, but when he finally came around to that point, they were both better for it, and their relationship was so much stronger. I'm so glad that the last part about them naming their daughter Hope made sense to you; it seems a little off topic, but making those few sentences the last were my intention for that exact reason.
Thank you so much for reading! I know this sort of thing isn't really your cuppa, but I'm glad you decided to try it anyway, and even more glad that you found it to be worth it. Also, it's quite flattering that someone actually recommended it! Thank them for me, please? *__* Thank you so much for the lovely reviews! I really enjoyed reading them, and hearing your thoughts! <3

OMG! This is seriously one of the best story I've read in a while! I'm impress on how many emotions you can convey with words! It's not usually the type of fic I like to read, it's just so sad to think about Tom cheating on Bill like that, especially since they're so in love... but this fic is more about learning to forgive and work pass the problem, and you write it beautifully.
This is brilliant, so simple and yet so powerful:
``Tonight, they watching a movie together when the most miraculous thing happened.
Together, they laughed.``
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you, it's humbling to have you think so highly of it! I'm very glad that you gave it a chance; this usually isn't the type of fic I write, actually, but it was a secret santa, and this was my prompt. You had me smiling so widely though, because you hit the nail exactly on the head about the point of this fic: learning to forgive and work past problems. I'm beaming at you!
Thank you so much! There's power in the little things sometimes--the laughter, being comfortable with each other to the point of being able to laugh again, the first smile--and I really wanted to get that across. You dazzle me!

O_O I knew it was going to be sad but this is devastating! OMG Poor Bill! And Tom has absolutely nothing to say! I guess there isn't anything to say but I hate him anyway, how could he do that to Bibi =( I must say that this first chapter was really well written. The way you built up there happiness, with the years of being so in love and the future child, only to crush all this happy beginning with stupid Tom! It was truly well done, even if it's really fucking sad. I can't wait to read the rest. I'm gonna hope for a happy ending! The good thing is that if they can go through this, it really means that they were meant to be!
Author's Response: Unfortunately, there isn't much to say, beyond Tom being honest: he did it, and he did it because he was found her attractive. It's a horrible reason, but there it is :( There's definitely the good, but so much good can be wiped away with one bad choice. I'm glad you picked up on that! And definitely; if you can pull through something like this, then you're made for each other.

Oh dear... it's too late for me to leave a coherent - let alone good review, but I wanted you to know how good this was to me. It felt so real and you described Bill's emotions perfectly, his anger and pain and awkwardness and this feeling of absolute loss when everything you knew and believed in suddenly crushes down. Such a beautiful and painful story, yet with so much hope in the end. I loved it and I would have more to say if it wasn't 5am *sighs*
Great, absolutely great job! *favorites*
Author's Response: I'm so glad that everything was able to be conveyed to you like that! You picked up on exactly what I wanted to portray, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. It means so much to me. Thank you!
Date: 02/10/11 06:25 pm Title: Stage 1
this is so amazing and emotional
AND I WOULD LOVE, for you to make a side chapter, from Tom's point of view, right after the first chapter, after Bill said they were over, his reaction, his feelings and thoughts, that would be really amazing to read, cause i missed that :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I got your email by the way, and I just wanted to let you know that I actually do plan on writing a second fic, which will be told from Tom's POV. I can't give a set date on when it will be posted, but... it will be. =) Thank you so much for the love, bby! <3

This was WOW. Really brilliant. You are a gifted writer.
*hoping that all the flattery works on you so you can update Stereo since i am obsessed with it :D*
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It was something really different for me, writing angst, so I wasn't sure if it was over the top or not. But I'm glad that you liked it!
It's coming, I promise. ;_; I have a few pages of it written, but inspiration keeps dying, and I don't know why. ;_____; But I will finish it, and I will update and IT WILL BE A GLORIOUS MOMENT OF SWEET SWEET VICTORY. *puts on viking hat and sets off to work* :B But I'm glad that you like it so much; that's really lovely!

This was the second time I read this and it was just still as breathtaking and utterly gorgious! =)
Author's Response: Oh wow! I'm honored that you enjoyed it the first time, let alone enough to read it again. O_O That's so flattering. Thank you so much, my dear! I'm sincerely glad that you liked it. ♥

it was interesting to watch them fall apart and then heal their relationship. I don't know if I could forgive someone the way Bill did...
thanks for posting!
Author's Response: I don't think I'd be able to forgive someone for doing that, either, tbh. But I suppose that after ten years of being in love and in a committed relationship, some things just aren't worth calling it quits, as bad as they may be. Thank you for reading! And reviewing! I always love hearing your thoughts, bby. ♥
Date: 01/11/11 07:51 am Title: Stage 3
But you didn't exactly explain why Tom cheated on Bill to begin with.
I love it.....
Author's Response: I did; it was just a really simple reason that wasn't expanded upon much. Tom said that he slept with her because he found her to be extremely attractive. Which is a dumb reason that I want to knee him for, but in all honesty, that's why most people cheat. But the man is too damn blunt I MEAN at least he was honest about it. >_> In his own special Tom sort of way. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing! <3

I love this story, Oh my god it's so beautiful! You´ve got talent!!
I would love to read more stories such as this one :>>
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. ♥ There's actually a sequel/prequel/parallel story for this one. It's yet to be written, but it's coming sometime this year! <3
Date: 01/07/11 09:43 pm Title: Stage 3
Great...can't wait for sequels if they are to come. This story made me remember my girlfriend's and I six month hiatus and how we made it back to good.
Author's Response: Thank you, and there is definitely more to come. I wouldn't say sequel so much as sister-story to this one, though. ;) Oh, I'm glad that you two managed to work things out! That's a wonderful thing. ♥

This is one of the most amazing fics i've ever read!! so goddamn emotional!! and I didn't cry cuz it's really hard for me to do it but I almost did and that's a lot!!
You should really be proud of this fic :D
Author's Response: :O That's such high praise! Thank you! I'm glad that you connected with it enough that it actually touched your emotions. And aww, hehe! I am pleased with how it turned out, for sure! ♥
