Dear Lord... Yeah, I'd get frustrated too. I thank my lucky stars that I'm blunt enough to just straight up ask what the status is. I'd probably ask if they had found someone else or if they just don't want me anymore. Not in an accusatory way, just matter of fact. But... yeah. Methinks Tom doesn't want him that way T.T

This was SO FRUSTRATING to read. My heart hurts for Bill. Will there be a sequel? Because this story is brilliant, you know.

OMG that broke my heart. I don't even know what to say? I feel bad for Bill, but at the same time I want to slap him and tell him to block Tom's number and try his best to move on, that he's only hurting himself with this. Even though we are only getting Bill's POV I think that Tom wants more but doesn't know how to transition. When he first wanted to meet Bill out somewhere I thought, "Oh they are going to go somewhere and talk, get to really know one another" not that they were going to meet in a parking lot and have a quick fuck. This last meeting was so pitiful. I really hope that you write a third to this series even if it doesn't have a happy ending. I just need some closure. haha. I need. Anyway. I didn't realize that I had missed this sequel till I was scrolling through all of your stories. I really hope you can find the time and motivation to add more to this series.
Author's Response: Wow, late response is laaaaaate. However, this response took me right back to this story, and I understand exactly what you're saying, but at the same time, sometimes things are easier said than done. I would love to find the motivation to write more to this series, but these are tied very tightly to a specific event in my life that's since sputtered out, so I feel like it might compromise the integrity of the series if I try to write from a place farther removed from the situation than I was when I first wrote them. But now that they're back in my head again, I might give it a shot. We shall see. ;)

(reply) Oh, yes, I meant with the first one of this series. That's a real pity. Her writing was very poignant :( But her reasons for leaving are her own.
Author's Response: Yes, that is true.

I only just noticed this sequel.
This was incredibly tragic :'( But beautiful in a messed up way. Probably because reading things that make one cry is cathartic. I'm just sorry it stems from personal experience for you.
I'm also extra sad because AufgewecktEngel has disappeared and I really, truly wanted to read her complementary piece to this series. I don't suppose you have it on file..?
Author's Response: She never actually wrote a complementary piece to this second one. And I'm not sure I have a copy of the first one. =(

You express Bill's emotional turmoil so well. Sometimes you just can't help what you yearn for..
Author's Response: It's so sad, but so true.

*huggles the O_7* Sorry it took me so long to get to read these. Still doesn't change what I said.
Author's Response: *huggles* You are fantastically too good to me. <333

Haha I know exactly what you mean. Good luck in getting into the frame of mind :3

i love this story but I don't think Tom is being cruel(if you - the author, buy Tom's POV, from the last story, that is??). He's in the same place as Bill. They don't know the other has real feeling for the other and they are both hurting themselves by over protecting themselves from losing face or scaring the other away. If one of them would just say something! Which I think may happen because obviously they both are hurting too much to just keep enjoying each others bodies They BOTH want/need more. Other wise why would neither of them be able to get off, right? MORE PLZ!!!
OK, now we need to discuss the no condom (are they just retarded since they clearly have no idea where the other has been in between) and I doubt Bill (or any guy) would go down on Tom (or any guy) when he had just been in him! I asked my gay friends and no way that would happen without a good wipe down 1st. Plz explain your reason for writing it as such?
but other than that your story heartrendingly beautiful. ox, coco
Author's Response: At this point, I wouldn't really consider Tom as being cruel, either, even if I don't 100% buy Tom's point of view from the last story. There are many sides to every story, different truths, and perspectives, and so forth. I agree that things might change if they both just speak up, but I wouldn't say that their getting off says anything about how they feel about each other. You can like someone and not get off, and you can not like someone and get off anyway. Also, you may have noticed in this one that neither of them got off. So. *shrug*
As far as the no condom thing, that's a personal choice. They've been doing what they've been doing (with or without a solid commitment) for months. Neither Tom nor Bill has any solid proof that the other is doing anything behind their back -- though to assume that they've never had a conversation about it would seem a little silly, considering they've been in a sexual relationship for quite some time. If they're friends in any way, I believe there should be a line of trust there.
I'm glad you like the story and that it's leaving you thinking and asking questions. I hope you stick around for the third story, if I can ever get it written. <333

I love that song. I'd love to see what you do with the next one! Pwease don't stop
Author's Response: I love the song, too. I'd love to write a third piece, I just have to get back into the right frame of mind.

You broke my heart, girl. Just literally broke it. I guess I should thank you for that though, because it is always a talent speaking when someone can write something so heartbreaking.
In my... some other life... I've been Bill. Not once, but more times. Every single emotion here, I've felt that. It had to take some time to see it clearly that it was never my fault that it just didn't work out, but reading something so close to my own memories hurts like bitch. I'm not going to lie.
I guess I could wish for happy ending, but I don't think it would be fair to ask anything. Just let it go as you want, I'm okay with everything if you end up writing the third part.
Damnit, now I'm all upset myself. :D
Author's Response: I've been Bill, too. I AM Bill. I'm happy that you can feel those emotions, even if it takes you back to not-so-good places. I would love to give them a happy ending for you, and everyone else reading, but I have to stay true to the story and the characters, and right now, they're just not in a place for a happy ending.
*hugs you* Sorry for the upset, but thank you for reading. <333

I really want the third one!
I'm totally obsesed with this story!!!
Even i use a translator (cuz i speak spanish :P)
Please continued it!!!!!! :D
Author's Response: I really want to write a third one, but I have a lot I'm working on at the moment, so I'll have to find the inspiration and motivation to do it one of these days. I'm flattered that you like the story enough to go through all of the trouble to use a translator. I hope it still sounds okay with the translation (I know sometimes things get kind of wonky lol). THank you for reading. ♥

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
:(
will we get toms pov again because this is so sad they need to wake up and be in love
Author's Response: I'm not sure if she's going to write one from his perspective or not. I've given her the go-ahead but I think I made it rather difficult for there to be an explanation to Tom's actions this time. So the possibility is out there, but it isn't up to me.
However, even if there isn't another one from Tom's perspective, I still hope to write a third one from Bill's perspective, but I don't think it's going to be them waking up and realizing they're in love. Life just doesn't work like that most of the time. ♥
Date: 12/16/11 05:27 pm Title: Fine Line
Yaay, Iīve waited for this, but I didnīt think you write this. Will be more? :)
Author's Response: I'm hoping that there will be at least one more story to write. I just need to get in the right mindset to do it. So the answer is "hopefully." =)
Date: 12/15/11 01:23 pm Title: Fine Line
You... you.... gosh, that's so cruel!!! God, the helplessness I feel on Bill's behalf is just overwhelming. And the humiliation and the loss of hope and dignity...I love your writing so, so much but I also hate these kind of stories equally much. They rip your heart apart and have it thrown to dogs. If your writing comes from personal life experience, then I don't know what to say:-(
I have to say though I can't bring myself to hating Tom because I have also read the remix (from Tom's POV) and that got implanted in my head so strongly that I feel tremendously sorry for both of them.
No happy (semi-happy /hope giving ending) you say? Oh my, I don't know if I have the strength to read that train wrack of a story further.
Brilliant work though! (as always:-))
Author's Response: I never meant to be cruel, and I would never ever ever intentionally rip your heart out and throw it to the dogs. I do apologize for this being really sad and angsty, but life isn't always sunshine and blueberries, you know? So I hope at least there's a little fraction of realism in it, as well. I'm happy you liked it anyway, though. I do hope to write at least one more. I really can't say when their story will be officially over.

O_O Okay seriously, how do you do it?? You write the most intense things... I totally have tears in my eyes. The way you write feels SO real! My heart is breaking for Bill here, so painful. I don't even know what else to say, that was sad but so worth reading for the quality of your writing.
Author's Response: I don't know? I wish there was a formula or something to write really sad/intense things, but there isn't. So I really don't know. I'm sorry for the tears, but beyond pleased that it could touch you like that. I especially am proud of the fact that it feels real to you, so thank you for that, and for reading, and for another amazing review. You are awesome. <333

So there is no happy ending for Bill ?

this is so realistic. the rollercoaster that Bill goes through, all the disappointments... a very amazing job you've done here. i just wanna hug Bill so much right now.
Author's Response: Bill's emotions are definitely a rollercoaster, and it's a compliment to know that you think it's realistic. Thank you very much. <333
