This story was wonderfully romantic and sweet as well as being well... about sex.
I thoroughly enjoyed the idea behind it and loved the way it turned out! The little twists and turns were exciting, but not distracting and the story despite being fantastical was believable and gah! I'm trying to leave a sensible review but I'm just going to add: *loves on*
Author's Response: xD thanks soooo so much *loves on you*

Wow, you write beautifully, you're very talented IMO. I'm in love with the way you narrated this story. I expected this story to have more twists and turns when I first started reading this, but in the end, all the pieces fell into place perfectly. I live how Bill grew up, and Tom's feelings, and that one moment with Gustav. This was super sexy. Well done. :)
Author's Response: thanks so much for such a lovely and thoughtful review! I'm so glad you liked it :)

That's was sexy and satisfiying to read. I can totall picture Bill in Moulin Rouge dress and loved it.
I had to check out more of your writing. You did amazing.
Author's Response: thank you! yess, it's a satisfying image, isn't it? Oh, thank you, but this is very different from my older work xP the reallly long fic...i haven't abandoned it, but i think i've definitely gotten better now, just so you know :)

I loved the concept of the story. It was interesting how Bill's father wanted him to continue to be a manwhore for money purposes /:) I was surprised that Tom got away with barging in on Bill with a client, but still glad that he did so :)
Normally, I'm a sap for a bit of heartache and pain, but I'm glad that Bill stuck with Tom in the end. Great job :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad that people liked it, I'm rather proud of it myself...it's a step up, for me, and I can only hope to continue to grow.rnrnhope you've been well, haven't talked to you in a while :). I've been so busy with this story, the end of summer, and school, haha. I'm sure we're all a bit busy at the moment...

I'm really bad at reviewing so... I just wanted to let you know I read and enjoyed this very very much :) Good job!
Author's Response: thanks for taking the time to sumbit at least one! i really appreciate it, and thank you!

Ooh, I did feel glitter!
First of all, so jealous of your magnificent banner. And I loved the tag line you came up with, so salacious!
Love how you showed Bill growing up in Le Moulin Nouveau, and how you took the time to create a culture for all the characters at the establishment.
I liked the way you worked Tom in casually at first, just a friend and sex partner helping Bill achieve what he wanted. And then later, when their feelings had grown, I really appreciated that you didn’t make their feelings exactly parallel, and didn’t make Bill the perfect partner.
Oh, and I also liked the nicknames you gave people, like milkman and Billy goat. So real and cute!
Great story and congrats on such a successful Big Bang entry :)
Author's Response: ooh, yay!!! ah, you like it? I actually made the banner a few months before the Big Bang Challenge was posted...it was a story idea in my head and the banner making is the most fun, sometimes :3 The tag line...yah, when I came up with that, the rest of the story just kind of...came with it, not the other way around :)
thank youuu, I wanted to show a sort of dreamy history so that I wouldn't have to explain later why things were like that etc...and give it the right tone from the onset.
Oh, yes...Bill was perfect in looks and, ehem, talents, alone. He was...a bit of a freak, mentally and emotionally xD
thanks!!! of course, "milkman" had its day...once they were so close Bill didn't need such a silly name for the other in his mind, as "Tom" represented all he had become to him and all the time they'd spent together.
Ahhhh, thanks so much, that means a lot coming from you xD

This was...simply wonderful. I enjoyed it so much. It was written well and descriptive and I could really envision this story in my mind. I should have gone to bed a long time ago but I couldn't stop reading this. What a great story you've written!
Author's Response: thank you soooooo much! :3

I definitely felt the glitter. This was beyond fantastic! Bill and burlesque, I couldn't ask for more.
Author's Response: thanks so much!!

He's a brilliant little manipulator isn't he? Can't wait to see what happens next, but I'm stalling over the image of Bill dressed as a showgirl.... mmm that is a delicious image.
Author's Response: he is! hehe, yahh...probably not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely mine...;)

Heh, 'Billy Future'
Though Tom had put forth his best effort in not falling prey to Bill’s charms and deliberate seduction, all bets had been off when Bill had answered the door for the first time in nothing but his tiny black boxer briefs, a borrowed braless corset, and a lacy garter belt holding up delicate thigh highs above sinfully heeled boots. -- Haha!! XD
They had spent the next several hours tangled up in Bill’s bed, and had not backed down since. -- Lol, omg. Right when they met.
Hmm :/ So Bill is so into the idea of that life, that he too sleeps with clients. Poor Tom.
Author's Response: it wasn't QUITE when they met, it'd taken at least several deliveries for Bill to figure out he wanted Tom, and then a few more before he managed it xD. it mentions they'd known each other a bit first xD
yes, Bill is extremely sexually active...fat beyond the norm. Tommy didn't know what he was getting himself into...:(

This was fantastic!! I loved it!!
Author's Response: thanks, lovely!

*heart explodes, leaving a glittery hole*
This was an awesome fic. I loved every sinful little minute of it. That second to last line was just amazingly dirty, and heartwrenching and beautiful, though, I don't really look at Tom as a captive angel, seeing as Bill did end up quitting the sex part of the business...you know what I mean?
It didn't exactly end like I thought it would. I figured Simone was going to come up with the circus idea, and Bill be the ring leader and that explain why he wasn't for sale anymore...which is probably what happened, it just wasn't cery clearly outlined in the fic you know? Plus I get them needing somesort of backstory to why he isn't for sale anymore....but I dunno...ignore this past part.
Wonderful work. I really enjoyed it. I don't know what it is about Bill being a ehore, but I just love the idea of it. Whether it is consentual whoring like this or beaten forced into it, it just tickles my dirty little mind...
Author's Response: thanks so much xD. well, captive in the fact that he couldn't leave if he tried, cuz he's so head over heels :3 but he just seemed so angelic next to such sinners xD, I couldn't resist.
Ohh, the circus thing was more of a metaphor, he was the ringleader all along, but his role just evolved. not a literal circus act. his dad just came up with something that would work, in the event that bill and tom broke up (not unlikely in his eyes) so that bill could get right back to work without any sort of...stigma for giving it up for love and so that the clients wouldn't try to win him over with their riches, thinking that he was being wasted on someone of much humbler means than they
he he...whore!Bill is one of my favorites, too. and I do have a little thing for him being forced, but then, it's so sexy for him to be so deeply sinful that he'd want to do it all on his own, as well, you know? xD

I felt the glitter in my heart – and I LOVED IT!
He was in need of ravishing, and Tom was the only man for the job.
Mmm, yes. Just, yes!
I love how you showed Bill had really changed, and how you showed it with that comment that even if he went back into business, he’d never be with a married man again. That just felt very real, like you were showing Bill truly wanted to be different.
The ruse his dad came up with could work out better than the truth! Sometimes people want to fantasize about things that are romantic that they can never have.
Oh, Gustav! I dearly love Gustav, and I loved this picture of him, all nervous and hooked on Bill. So adorable! *pinches his cheeks*
This was a wonderful look into this vivid, rich world you created. I love what you imagined, the entire scenario and the characters. It was beautiful!
I am *so* happy you were able to finish this! It was terrific! (Also, where can I buy tickets to this show? :P)
Author's Response: Thank you sooooo much!! he he, Bill said yes, too xD
Yup, Billygoat had a reality check...and figured out that hearts can really hurt when treated badly, having experienced it himself for a day or two, lol.
they do, don't they? he just figured that telling everyone bill had gotten with his friend, the liquor stor delivery man, wouldn't exactly maintain the intrigue of the business xD and now they can fantasize like you say.
Haha, Gustav isn't really someone I think of often, but when I do, he seems like a softspoken person who'd be pretty honest with you. when the boys say he is bitchy i always get the feeling that he's probably just too cool for their stupidity xD like them monkeying around results in him bitching, hahaaa, who knows...
thanks again, so so much...now i've got to finish my loooong story and wait for inspiration to strike again. i hope i can come up with something this good again, lol...as for tickets, as soon as i find some i'll let you know, they seem rather hard to come by...maybe they're black market, i never went into it, but theres a good chance their business is at least partially illegal, right? though i kinda prefer it to have been some setting where it wasn't, but who knows. hahaaa
