You really show Tom's anguish and his need so well here. It's heartbreaking to watch his mind go in circles and him doubt everything, even himself. But that all ends as soon as Bill walks in. You have a beautiful angst-filled Tom voice in this story!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you. I do enjoy angst, you know. hehe <3

This is even worse while listening to "In die Nacht" ;_; *cry* But still an awesome fic/series.
Author's Response: Oh noooo. That song makes me cry if I'm writing sad, broken twins. ;____;

Ouch, that duality - it's good to have a friend staying over, but it also tells you just how lonely you are. You really make me jump back in time to times when I've been... perhaps not unlucky in love, but in transition between relationships, feeling lonely and full of that horrible grayness. It's good though, it reminds me that I went through it and lived - and I'm not there today.
only able to breathe when he’s so deep into things that he can’t even see the surface, where real life begins. Where he ends and Bill begins. Or is it the other way around?
This is just... wordless admiration, friend. When you make Tom curl up on the bed just after he's been reminded of Bill's and his beginning, and under the safe voice of Gustav... just, admiration. *bows to you*
Author's Response: Oh, no. No need to bow to me. *blushes* I'm really happy that you're enjoying it, and that it can take you back to things you can relate to (even if maybe they aren't so pleasant things?) <333

Funny how a lot of people have Georg and Gustav teaming up as the more sensible side of the band. I've done it in my own story although they also had a goofy side. The thing is, even if Tom does as Gus suggests and tries to start over, Bill has to be willing to give it a go too and at the moment the twins aren't even really communicating. I hope Tom can get Bill to agree and that they begin working things out. Tom really is a pathetic mess right now.
Author's Response: Georg and Gustav ARE the sensible ones and the twins are idiots, irl. haha The thing is, we're only seeing the story from Tom's point of view. Don't discredit what's going on on Bill's side of the fence. ;)

Yay! There is hope, definitely. :)
Idk, this sounds just something Kaulitz twins would in real life, too They might fight, might have hard times, but in the end - they'd have to "take care of their idiot brother."
I just love those twins... even if I sometimes want to strangle them. :D
Author's Response: They totally have to take care of their idiot brother. Who else is going to do it like they do? I'm so glad you're reading this story and enjoying it. <333

But they do, damnit! Come on, guys! I refuse to see it all gone! :-/
I love to dive into Tom's head where everything keeps circling around, but the options are so few at this point. It was really harsh to realize that before they didn't need any words at all. Now they talk about the werather. It shouldn't be like that. I'm glad he called Georg, though. He is Tom's "big brother" after all and good in that "job".
Author's Response: Georg really is the "big brother" for all of them I believe. He's such a good guy, and I refuse to believe anything else about him. xD

Oh... In my opinion, Bill is being unreasonable already. I feel so sorry for Tom, he is truly trying. Yet Bill gives so little back. Their connection is broken and disjointed, but if they only could... something. It's so sad to see it like this.
Btw, I liked a lot the way you decribed them not only sharing a womb, but also the rise and the fall. I think it defines the depth of them, the problematic nature of their connection perfectly.
Author's Response: When I think of the twins realistically, I can't help but think of everything they've gone through, and how lucky they are to have someone at their side 100% of the time. Because, you know, we all go through horrible things in life -- or sometimes really amazing things -- and we have no one to share that with or share the burden of it with. I think they're so lucky to be able to live the life they do and have each other through the good and the bad. I also can see how it could create some issues and/or friction between them or other people, you know? I'm so glad you could pick up on something small like that. It means a lot. Thank you. <333

I can relate to Tom's emotional insight here - that Bill felt abandoned by him when Tom left NY. I'm just like that - I can understand things well theoretically, but emotionally, well, it just happens suddenly. I get a feeling that it will help Tom (and Bill) find a way back. And Bill seems to have a desire and intention to make things better with Tom. It's all very good. *sighs happily*
Author's Response: I can definitely relate with Tom as well. But I can also relate with Bill. =( I hate to see them broken, but I hope you're right and it will help them find their way back to each other. =D
Thank you so much for reviewing, doll. You're amazing. ♥

I love, love, love Georg. He is such a good friend. And now Tom has some hope. Bill couldn't stop caring completely and its funny that he's now looking out for his big brother. Another great chapter.
Author's Response: I love Georg, too. Isn't he amazing? He's just the friend everyone should have. It's so hard for me to ever imagine Georg in a bad-guy role. So glad you're enjoying the story. Thank you so much for reviewing. ♥ ♥ ♥

Yay!!! Hope, just what I prayed for. I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Your writing is so easy to follow and the emotions are so real and raw. Love this story. :)
Author's Response: Yes! A light at the end of the tunnel! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story and the style. Thank you so much. <333

Perhaps there is some hope, if Bill is staying and called Georg to go check on his brother, even if he didn't go there himself. And I'm glad Georg is there for Tom, it seems he needs a shoulder to lean onto for the time being. Loving this!
Author's Response: Georg is such an awesome friend, isn't he? I'd like a Georg of my own. lol I'm crossing my fingers for hope for you. ;)

I am having a real love/hate relationship with this story. I hate how it makes me feel emotion each of the twins is going through but I love that hint of hopefulness. I can only pray that they can find a way to get along, even if it's only as brothers. :)
Author's Response: I hope you don't hate it for too long. ;) I'm happy that you're reading though. <333

No, how much worse can it get *sobs with Tom*. Really, Tom shouldn't have to carry all the weight of handling this situation. It always, always takes two to tango. And Bill... sorry, but he seems a bit spoiled! By Tom. But I should read the earlier parts of course. *sniffs* I'm not sure my heart could take it, though.
Author's Response: Tom is definitely an enabler when it comes to his little brother. Of course, there are two sides to every story...
Date: 05/22/12 10:12 pm Title: VIII
My heart is breaking for Tom so much. And yeah, perhaps I'm more than a bit biased, but I really hope even if I don't like Bill all that much, that they can find their way back to each other. Love your angst, really do, it actually hurts to read it.
Author's Response: I'm right there with ya, girl. I'm sorry the angst hurts, but maaaan, I love to hear that. ♥
Date: 05/21/12 05:34 am Title: VII
Noooooo stop it now, guys. You have to just hug each other and find each other that way. It's getting more and more heartbreaking to see all the things Tom miss. Why can't Bill just warm to Tom's attempts? Can't he see them? Is Tom unable to show them to Bill?
I want to hug them both.
Author's Response: I would like to hug them both, too. Should we hug them now or later? haha ♥
Date: 05/20/12 08:12 pm Title: VII
Tom wants so hard to say and do the right thing. Bill just seems to want to stay frozen and not let himself open up to his brother. If they can't find some kind of common ground, I don't see any hope for them. Love this. :)
Author's Response: In that case, I hope they do find common ground in the end. ♥
Date: 05/20/12 07:37 pm Title: VII
And the angst is back. *sighs* I don't think I ever liked Bill less than on this chapter. Telling Tom that he should have tried before, when to me, Tom has done nothing but try from the get go. It seems like this could be a turning point for them, though. If Tom keeps going back for him, that is.
Author's Response: I happen to like angst. =D
I hope you don't hate Bill for too long. They're both kind of broken, just in different ways. Hopefully Bill can redeem himself by the end. ;)

I'm crying for Tom right now. With Bill's reaction I don't see how they can ever mend things. I thought previously that Bill might be going to give Tom a chance but it appears like he's hardened his heart. I can see where he's coming from because he must have been so badly hurt when Tom just upped and left. I just don't see how they're both going to find common ground when they're so far apart even when they're side by side. A really sad chapter, extremely well written as usual.
Author's Response: Bill definitely has his reasons for being upset, just as much as Tom has his own reasons. I'm sorry the chapter made you cry, but I'm so very happy that you're reading. ♥
Date: 05/20/12 05:28 pm Title: VI
It's so intense. And you write them with such care, without hurry. Elegantly as always. And with the small details, such as pulling little bits and pieces of Tom’s heart off with his scuffling sneakers. What an image - it's like poetry, and just as telling.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm so glad you're reading this and enjoying it. <333

Not nice to leave us hanging here! This story is so good and these two are becoming dear to my heart. They've been through so much and I would hate to see them part now. Come on Bill, you need to thaw out just enough to allow Tom through. More very soon please. I shall be (im)patiently waiting. :)
Author's Response: Sorry for the cliffhanger! There's a new one up now, though. =)
These two really have been so much, and I appreciate you so much saying that you've grown attached to them. I've grown attached to them, too. And I'm hoping Bill really does thaw out, even just a little bit. (More is up now! =D)
