another excellent chapter! as for how much longer it should be, here's my general rule of thumb. i never start out knowing how long a story will be. i just know what will happen and how it will end. so i write until i've accomplished that; everything i wanted to happen has happened, and i've reached the conclusion i had in mind. so do that. whether it's 10 more chapters or 20 more chapters. just write what you want to write. and if it's half as good as the previous however many chapters have been, it'll be fucking awesome!
Author's Response: You have spoken very wise words, and I believe I will definitely take your advice. Thank you so very much for it! And I'm so glad you like the chapter! Seriously though, this review is so motivating and encouraging, and I appreciate it! I especially love the last sentence of it xD Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts with me!!

The chapter was great! Bill having to shit made me die of laughter... Umm that all depends on what you feel you want to do with this story. I love it so much I was impressed to see that Bill FINALLY told Tom about what happened in the past and that he felt more at ease with him. So as I said loved this story so much always look forward to it. If you wish to make it longer then go a head its all up to you as its your story. :D As always keep up the good work :D
Author's Response: I'm so happy you liked the chapter and that it made you laugh :D And thank you so much for offering your advice. I will definitely let you all know what I decide when I post the next chapter. Thank you for loving this and reviewing xD

*gushes*
I can't wait for the next chapter! *squeals*
I totally think Tom needs to watch gay porn with Bill or watch it in hiding and Bill spies on him. Like Bill comes back that night and Tom's watching it all wide eyed, mouth open, head tilted in confusion. LOL!
And I think Tom should bottom once for Bill.... O.o
I think you need to keep writing.... FOREVER! I will be sooo sad when this is over... I love this Bill and Tom!
OH... Did you see the new pics of Tom with some some new chic in LA? They are saying it's his new girl. I think it kinda looks like Natalie in a few pics...but then they are holding hands. *shrugs*
Author's Response: You're the first one I'm telling this to, but I'm totally going to have to split the birthday up into two chapters because I just wrote the first half and it's already 4,000 words and I haven't even gotten to the sex, yet haha. And plus, I'm dead tired and would probably write it terribly. So expect a still very good chapter tomorrow, but a sexy, hot, steamy, and well-written chapter on Saturday :D Ohhhh my gosh, Tom bottoming for Bill! I feel like he would tear him in half hahah. But if would be funny to write a scene where they attempt it. Thank you so much for loving this Bill and Tom!! Even when this story is completed, I believe I will occasionally do one-shots from the Work Out universe :D And I did see the pics and she's very pretty and has a hot little body so...go Tom! haha. Thanks for reading, darling :)

Awwww! My god the ending was so fucking adorable ! Loved it! I don't even know what to say, they are so sweet, so in love and it's a real pleasure to read about them. Random fact, I LOVE Tom calling Bill baby in this, and I don't always do in a fic. So you write it well and should feel special! =D
THank you so much for this chapter, I needed it really bad after this long day (which is far from over since I'm gonna work on a paper most of the night). Anyways, this really made my day much better.
Author's Response: Happy to hear that you loved the ending :D And thank you sooo much for saying that about the "baby" thing, because I was hesitant to even put that into the story because I usually don't like it, either!! *feels very special* Aww I'm sorry you had a long day. I did too, and I totally feel you on the schoolwork thing because I have an exam in the morning. Ugh. I'm so happy that I could make your day better :D Your review has definitely made mine better ;)

“You need to take a shit, don't you?” XDDDD One (of many) of my favorite lines. I wouldn't mind if you kept this story going on forever! its that good! :D
Author's Response: Hehe I'm so glad that line made you laugh XD Thank you so much for reading and enjoying this story!! That makes me really happy that you feel that way!!

Bill was suddenly filled with so much adoration. Not only had Tom listened to his sob story and stuck by him, but he had also accepted his farts, and apparently his poops as well. I have no idea why, but I laughed for like five minutes straight ever reading this line. I snorted, cried, and even had to pee. Lmfao I don't know why!!! Haha this was such a cute chapter. Can't forget the funniness. It's always fucking funny. I'm glad Bill is going to visit his parents. Hah, we're so much alike! Not planning the story; just sitting there typing as our minds come up with something good. Bahaha, you don't know how tempted I am at sharing the kiss picture with the world. haha be like "People of the world, I am the youngest person in the world to tongue kiss a member of the opposite sex. Tom Kaulitz, stick that in your juice box and suck it." hahaha, dude everyone in my family has the "Before&After" pictures and the one of me making out with that kid. hah
Author's Response: Hahah I'm so glad that made you laugh :D I'm always happy to make you laugh!! I'm glad you feel me on the lack of planning. Thank goodness this story is random, so it works haha. Dude, I would loooove to see that picture! And that is fucking hilarious that everyone in your family has the pictures hahaaa. Thanks for reviewing, doll xD Seriously though, Tom can suck it, because you totally made out at a younger age than him lol.

So sad ;_;
And I strongly suggest breaking up Bill's story into separate paragraphs. A wall of text is pretty hard on the eyes.
Loved the relief of laughter at the end :)
Author's Response: I have taken your advice and split it up. Thank you so much for suggesting that. I didn't even think of it, being the total noob that I am! Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me :D I'm glad I could give you a little relief from the sadness of the chapter, at the end there :)

What they all said, plus:
This story has really captured me!
The plot is charming with just enough suspense to keep it dynamic. Scenes are frequently imaginative, surprising and very funny. The characters and character development are sympathetic and engaging, multi-faceted enough captivate. And Ms. Kirsten’s use of language is creative, witty and entertaining. She can even spell! (with a few minor slipups)
I would so buy her ebooks if they were for sale, and I can’t wait for the next chapter!
Keep up the good work, Kirsten, and let us know when you’re going to publish your m/m romances outside of the fan/slash genre! I’ll be first in line with my credit card!
P.S. Ugh! I hate monkeys!
Author's Response: Oh. My. Gosh. This was the cutest/coolest review, ever. Thank you SO much for all of your amaaaazing and sweet things that you said. I had the biggest smile on my face while reading the whole review! And I do apologize for the mistakes I have in my story..grammatical errors really make me cringe and I'm planning on going back through the whole thing and editing when I get the chance, because of this! Haha if I ever by some miracle, get to publish something, I will let you know ;) Seriously though, thank you sooo much for this review. I'm so happy to have you as a reader!! And yes, monkeys are the worst. Especially messenger monkeys ;)

And that is just the beginning i love this story it is really funny!! thank you!
Author's Response: Oh my goodness. I am so sorry that happened to you. That sounds absolutely terrifying and I'm so so glad that you made it out okay!! Thank YOU so much for reading and loving this story :D It makes me soo happy that you do! I hope you continue to enjoy it xD

Wasps are assholes. I hate them.
Do you have any irrational fears? If so what are they? I have an irrational fear of walking around outside at night by myself. Even in good neighborhoods like I live in. I can't get more than like 4 houses away from mine before I absolutely have to turn around.
I also believe my house is haunted. There was this once time, after we had just gotten a new screen door, it stuck a lot because the little latchey thing was just a hair too long and to open it from the inside you had to push out. Well one day about 2 weeks after we had gotten it put in we had the inside door open to get a breeze going through the house, and the screen door was firmly shut, but somehow it opened by itself. Just swung open. Couldn't have been the wind, because it would've just pushed it further closed...
I am so glad the boys shared things. I think all kids like to hide in the clothing racks. I know I always did. My favorites were the circular ones, so that my body wouldn't be pushing the clothes outward like the square ones do.
This chapter gave me a really good cry. I can't wait for this evening to see what comes next!
Author's Response: Yes, they truly are. Um..I have an irrational fear of being eaten by a shark. Even though I've read that it's more likely to be killed by a coconut falling on your head than by a shark. And because of this fear, I can't even go to aquariums or watch movies with sharks in them, without getting really fucking anxious about them somehow breaking through the glass or popping out of the screen or something lol. And I don't think that your fear of walking around late at night is unwarranted...often things can happen even in the best of neighborhoods. You're just being safe! ;) Dude. I totally believe in ghosts so I absolutely believe your story. I've actually had several ghostly experiences myself. I do hope that the ghost is nice at your house though? I'm happy you liked the sharing of stories. And I absolutely hid in clothing racks when I was little, as well. Department stores were like a playground for me. And I agree, the circular ones are sooo much more satisfactory for hiding. I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter and I can't wait to hear what you think of the next one :D Thank you so much for catching up and sharing your stories with me!!

I'm not really sure if Bill should be flattered or offended that Larry wanted to mate with him...And I definately don't know which one he will be after the terror dies down. Because, lets be honest here, what Bill should do/feel, and what Bill actually does/feels are normally very different.
I love how oblivious Bill is to the fact that he does not hide the random shit and crazyiness very well, and that he think he does a decent job at filtering his mouth. Despite his very large lack o doing so. But I can relate. My mom doesn't think I filter myself, but I really do. She'd hate to se me shut my filter off.
I am really looin forwqard to The Talk, and am very glad they said the L words to eachother. But. If Bill is staying over tonight I have to wonder how Tom is going to get him away in order to do whatever it is he is goin g to have to do for the party that I assume is still in play. I guess I will have to wait and find out.
Author's Response: I mean...I think he should be flattered. Obviously Larry never went for Tom in the years that he's know him so Bill must just give off that vibe that lizard's find irresistable. And I agree with your statement haha. Those things are often very different when it comes to Bill. Lol at your mom getting after you about filtering yourself. I've only just recently begun to cuss in front of my parents, even though they have done it all my life. But my mom will still give me a look if I say 'shit' and I'll be like..'you literally just said that 10 minutes ago, so why are you looking at me like that?' Haha. Yes the love has been admitted! And don't worry, all of the birthday plan business will be explained in the chapter I just posted, actually. Thank you so much for reading!! Again, I'm so happy you're back :D

I cried :') , and aww Tom came out of the closet ;) poor bill *gives him a big hug* and yeah your right, wasps are serious assholes *shudderd* :) cute chapter, although sad :3
Author's Response: Aww I'm sorry it made you cry :( But yes! Tom finally came out of the closet lol. Bill appreciates the hugs :D And I'm so glad you feel the same way about wasps. They are so rude. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me!! XD Sorry it was a sad chapter but the boys are gonna be so happy after all of that, I promise ;)

i know i went backwards by comments on chap 33 first before i comment on this one butttttt i did XD so heres my comment:
I LOVE LARRY XD hes flipping awesome! i want a flying lizard but when i told my boyfriend he told me im crazy T_T but while reading this i was litterally rolling on the floor laughing (rolfing? i didnt wanna say tht cause it sounds so odd O_o)
Author's Response: Aww well thank you so much for taking the time to go back and comment on this one! xD Hahah I'm so glad that Larry had you rolling on the floor with laughter. Annnnd I don't know how to put that...rolfing..sounds right to me..but it still sounds odd hahaa. But regardless, I'm so happy that this chapter made you laugh! And you tell your boyfriend that if you want a flying lizard, then he will just have to deal haha. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me! xD

a secret tht i have and havnt told anyone, the only ppl who know it is my family, is that before my dad left our family he was very abusive to me. He never drank or anything. He just did it because he was bored or something.
Also wasps are assholes D: theres a nest in my neighbors yard o_o and the chapter was fan-fucking-tastic!!! i cried alot during there storys ^_^
Author's Response: Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad that he is not around to hurt you anymore. You are a very strong person to come out of that and just keep living your life, you know? And yes, wasps are bastards haha. I would kill them all if I had the chance. They're just so meaaaan :( I'm soooo happy that you enjoyed the chapter!! I'm sorry it made you cry but I'm so glad that you enjoyed it anyway. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and secret with me :) You are lovely.

ohh the seriousness, I love it. I feel so bad that Bill's parents died on his birthday. But, I am vey proud of Bill for sucking it up and taking care of a sick Tom. Even if it is his own fault hes sick.
So...Bill had a run in with a dragon. Thats going to be a great story to tell. Tom has a gaurd dragon, and Bill had to get passed it to save Tom. Oh yes, I can see the fairy tale ness of it already.
I'm happy there is a least one bed Bill feels comfortable in. Thats real progress there.
Author's Response: I'm really glad you like the seriousness. I just felt it was time to add it to the story. And it really was Tom's own fault that he got sick..but thankfully Bill could look past that and take care of him! Hahaha Tom totally does have a guard dragon. A keeper of the gates. I'm glad you're pleased with the progress :D Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me on this chapter! I'm off to respond to your other lovely reviews!!

Date: 07/07/11 11:15 am Title: The Hat
Aw well thank you, its kind of nice, knowing I was missed.
Silly Tom its obviously a Mary Poppins'esque bag, he doesn;t think she can look in the bag and see a room full of crap too does he? Honestly, if there were a room down there, how could she reach everything?
I love fedoras. Everything I'm at a store and see them I ry them on, and almost buy them, but then I think 'sweetie, when are you rver going to wear this thing? Ya, you know it will just sit gathering dust, and become a waste of moolah'.
Bill has shattered a random guys carefully built walls. All in the name of a hat, that he stole. I almost want to be ashamed of him, but I can't Hes too cute in a fedora.
Great chapter. Off to the next!
Author's Response: You are quite welcome :D I'm glad you have internet back! Yay! And seriously, silly Tom. Always sooo slow. OMG I am the exact same way about Fedoras!! Well hats in general. I always try them on in the store and almost buy them but I just know that I will absolutely never wear them. I just don't think that many occasions call for hats. Though I wish they did. *sighs wistfully* Haha and don't worry, Bill will give the hat back and redeem himself. I don't condone stealing and even weird little Bill knows that it's wrong ;) But he should probably get one of his own because he needs to wear one. A lot. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me :D I'm happy that you're catching up!!

Naw I really feel for as he really inflicts his parents death so strongly upon himself. Death does question life and urself sometimes, the poor thing he seems so terribly scarred. But he has such a positive persona that he hold himself so very well, with Tom by his side he can grow much stronger. I have to say it has been ages since I have stung by a wasp ahh those were they days. Hmmm I am thinking of something to ask..... OH I got it!! I see u work with children...so my question is who was the most nastiest child u have dealt with and how did u handle it? If u haven't come across any yet then u r one lucky woman. Let's see something about me, hmmm well I guess since my question was on kids. My experience with one was at work when a man and his little daughter who looked 4, came to be served, suddenly the daughter was busting to go toilet. I said to the man I can hold off and wait while u take her. He said no and told her to hold it, the poor thing was screaming. So I tried to hurry and finally got done. Until he picks her up and I guess by picking her up he squeezed her which made her well...feel relieved. The man was embarrassed and bolted. I felt more sorry for the girl than him, but she did leave a mess on the floor so being in charge that night I pretended to busy and got another staff member to clean it Haha. Damn this is too long so imma scram now...toodles!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're still reading :D And thank you so much for your thoughts on the chapter!! Umm..honestly the children I work with now are probably the most difficult I've had to work with. They're are just at such an awkward age and especially the 12 year old boy..he asks me wildly inappropriate questions sometimes and I just have to bite my lip and ignore them lol. I love them, but it's still difficult because they are at that transition age from child to teenager, and their hormones are all over the place. And awww that poor little girl!! It was definitely the dad's fault in that situation. Annnd I'm really glad you didn't have to clean it up hahaha. And hey, I don't think any review is too long :D Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts and story with meee!! xD

Poor Bill....*sniffles*
At least Tom is there to love him now.
Great update. It was nice to have a bit of seriousness among all the silliness.
Author's Response: *hands tissue* Tom is going to give him so much love now though :) thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked the chapter and thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! XD
