Read it more than once. (No surprise there.) And now, finally, in the future somewhere... It'll be pimped at TokioHotelSlash. Because it needs to be. Thought you wanted to know. :-)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and that you enjoyed it, but please don't pimp this story yet :D

I actually read this already couple of days ago (at work *grin*), but didn't have time to leave a review. As you might know, Tom/Gustav is probably my least favorite pairing, so I was a bit unsure when starting to read this. However, I found the topic interesting, so i gave it a try.
And I'm happy I did! It was very fascinating to read about Tom's long journey to lose his control in such total way. Yes, it dances on a border of abusive if you don't understaqnd how it works for Tom (!!!), but it is not. At least not in fiction. It's very close and so0metimes slightly crossing the line (the eternal question: is everything is okay between two people or is there things that others should draw the line if the ones involved can't?).
There were so many very hot things, but most of all I enjoy (it comforts me, who always worries about Tom) to read how safe Gustav's watching eye puts Tom and how much he can finally give up the control. I understand his feelings very well. There is a logic.
Too bad this doesn't have more reviews as I think this deserves it. But I also think that the pairing and the very complex topic might make people scared to read this. But I like this. BotTOm in general and the peace it strangely gives to me... Not to say how I would like to control him like this sometimes *cough*. :)

Author's Response: rnI'm glad you gave it a try! Bad you for reading at work :P Tom/Gustav wanted to be written, but it's always something different each time.rnrnrnrnrnIt does run close to abusive - this is where contextualising it is important to show the difference between abusive control and control willing given. And I don't think there's a problem in this case - it's a consensual thing as far as Tom is concerned. But it could be interesting to write when it is not. rnrnrnrnrnrnI think the key in this story is how close Gustav holds Tom. He holds him so gently but so strongly that Tom is exactly where he needs to be at all times. rnrnrn rnrnAnd pfft. People want blood and whips and chains when it comes to what they think is BDSM, and TPE relationships. They don't understand this, and throw in Gustav and people run for the rules. rnrnrnAnd I would love to have a Tom like this. We'd never leave the bedroom though. XD
