This is very well written- will be excited to read the next one. The POV is very good on what it is like to have emotional issues- lots of anger and very unglamorous, plus the uncertainty of the people in your life- great work!

Thank you so much! I'm *hoping* to put out the final installment in February.

I really like this story. It's beautifully written, and I like that they didn't immediately profess their love for each other in some cheesy way. It shows that they care for each other, and Tom is truly a good and loving guy. I hope that Bill gets better! Update soon!
Author's Response:
Sorry for the late reply but thank you lots! I'm gonna try to update this early in the new year.

Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm not sure when the third one will be written. But like this one, the summary will say it's a sequel to the previous and will be part of the series these two are in.

Reading your fics are always such emotional challenges and leave me feel heavy and light all at once. You drill so deep with these, go to those emotional corners which are rarely said out loud. Your ability to connect dots - also in psychological analuysis' POV - is quyite exceptional in this fandom and it makes youir fics alwaus so hard, but interesting to read.
While reading this, I couldn't help but rolling back into my own self,. my own issues, my own therapies and years and years of complex struggling with those exact things Bill is struggling with here. Eventhough mine are not bursting out as an ED, they all come from the same, simple feelings, needs and fears. Thank you for being so insightful about them all.
Amazing fic once again. Not easy, not light, but because of that - so worth it! :)
Author's Response:
Aw, thank you so much! And you're welcome, I think? I'm not trying to do anything new or different with Bill's issues and feelings and needs and fears and stuff, just trying to explain them exactly as they are because quite a lot of people go through those kind of things too and there's really no reason to shut them away. But anyway yeah dumb phrasing and stuff I'm doing bc I've just woken up from a nap so again thank you mon cher and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Aw, thank you!

Amazing, beautiful, heartbreaking, still so ...good. So, so good. I am hoping and praying Bill gets better, and I pray for him to be able to accept himself. Also I wish for them both that they could find peace. I feel so much for them. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response:
Thank you for your lovely comments! The third one's going to wrap it up nicely so don't be worried. :)

Made me cry. I have a daughter with an eating disorder; she's much better now but still has bad days. Your portrayal of Bill is so realistic. Really hard for me to read, but couldn't not finish it. Excellent writing.
Author's Response:
Oh wow, thank you so much! People who have first-hand experiences of the things I write are my biggest inspiration; when someone who's dealt with it in the real world tells me I've done it right, that's what really sets it in stone for me that I've written something good, because I have zero real life experience with this. I hope your daughter pushes through to a full recovery and has many more good days than bad.

This series is so good it is scary. I have never come across such a lucid eating disorder fic. The thought processes are so convincing and spine chilling. All the descriptions of the body being dehumanised in the most disgusting ways and the justifications for it.
Wonderful.
Author's Response:
Ahh gosh thank you! Lucidity is my bug goal here.

UUUUUUUUGH my god, I don't think any other fic has ever made me let out a breath so deep and difficult at the end of it. This is like a strong punch of raw emotions and the final scene made it so much heavier and better at the same time. It still baffles me that you can write about this with such accuracy and it's all coming from only research. I love how you describe Bill's emotions in these series, they just flaw so easily in a sentence. It doesn't seem forced or overly done, his need for someone to lean on, someone to make proud. And it's all very vivid and easy to picture, even if you don't spend paragraphs describing the facility or Bill's room or how the therapist looks like, I still have a clear picture of it in my head. I don't know, I just love how you manage to write so beautifully while still using simple words and you don't make things pretty for the sake of more people reading it. Eating disorders are not pretty, not even those suffering from them think so, and I hate it when authors use all the wrong ways to write about them.
And I like how you hint (or mention? can't recall) somewhere that Tom acknowledges the problem, doesn't just brush it off like it's nothing, which is what happens most of the time. And how important it is that Bill has someone who cares about him too and wants him to get better for himself. It's so important to know that a friend will be there to support you and welcome you back after you've been through some rough shit (let alone after having to battle against a severe disorder), and I'm glad that Tom makes it clear to Bill that he's there and he's waiting. I simply love how honest Tom is as a character, without him being too fake, and how their kiss isn't some kind of epiphany hitting Bill on the head and making him snap out of it, like so many times before in fics, as if it's something that shallow and easy to deal with.
omg so sorry for the word vomit. This has been the best PMS-reading material, I'm so happy you posted it this weekend that I'm miserable and cranky. Thank you so much and can't wait for the third part, which I am certain will not disappoint me in the least.
Author's Response:
Afhhhfkfddsjfxsfsjogkd no omg don't apologize, word vomit is gr10 and I love long reviews asfkizvvkg my day is made. Gurl you da best and I'm super glad you liked it so much and I don't have anything good to say in response besides thank you! I spent weeks reading about treatment centers and actually on thinspo-type blogs and asking things before I wrote anything so I'm really happy it's been portrayed well (and I hope I haven't made any misinterpretations in the process) and um yeah.

this was a good story!
i cant wait for the sequel to this!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Not sure when the third one will come out though, it might not be until after the new year since I have so many other things I need to write before it.
