Holy hell. I don't know how I've missed this fic, but HOLY HELL! You sure took me for one hell of a ride here. The wording, the twists and turns of the fic... And how manipulated Tom is. Constantly. He really is an attack-dog. Just like Nyx. Which was very symbolic how Nyx accepted him just like that. Kindred spirits. ;-) Both loving Bill. Both doing exactly what Bill want. The nickname Puppy is just perfection as well. I'm an awe of this fic. I just... Wow. What a story. Absolutely amazing. I loved it to bits and wanted you to know. Thanx for the amazing read!
Author's Response: Sorry for taking so long to come back to you on this. I've stopped getting reviews in my inbox. I'm so glad you liked the story - thank you for commenting. Nyx is definitely Tom's kindred spirit! Not many people have picked that up ;)rnThanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Finally I have the chance to write a comment for this chapter, final projects at school were kind of suffocating me.
Ok, I have to say that I have mixed feelings. I wanted Bill and Tom to be together in the end, but this is not as sweet as I thought it would be because it seems like Bill is still the same cold-hearted person he was during the whole story. Probably he loves Tom, but he doesn't trust him entirely yet, there's still something keeping him from loving Tom the way he deserves, I believe. I mean, he keeps treating Tom as his puppy, not as his companion or his lover and Tom is still acting as his puppy as well, he humiliates himself for Bill, and that's kind of cute because we can see that Tom is loyal and that he truly loves Bill, but at the same time it's sad because of Bill's lack of trust. Anyway, I'm glad they ended up together. I loved this new story, Em. It certainly has some of the hottest scenes Ive read, and the ending was different, but perfect. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! By the way, I'll be posting the translation of Remnants very soon, so I'll send you the link to your e-mail later on, thanks again for your permission. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to review. I knew the reaction to the ending would be mixed based on the reviews coming through while I was posting - people were constantly wanting Tom to stand up to Bill, so I wondered how will they think the ending works if Tom knows the truth about Bill but still doesn't do anything about it?rnBill definitely manipulates Tom, and to a certain extent abuses him (or certainly his trust as he uses Tom for his connections to Bushido). However, Tom is constantly exposed to this side of Bill's personality throughout the story, both Georg and Chantelle tell him that Bill is like this. Whether or not Tom doesn't realises he is being used too, or willingly ignores it is I guess up for debate. rnYou mention humiliation, but I don't think that Tom does humiliate himself in his submission to Bill. Tom has had a very hard life, lives alone and is miserable. His life with Bill, at least in his eyes, is infiniately better - he is stronger, healthier, protected and even loved. By the end of the story he is a respected, senior member of this new world order. He is also still Bill's puppy, but then, that's his choice.rnThank you for reading, and for translating Remnants.

I love your manips! They are fabulous! It would be great to start reading story with them, as I think they depict this story's Bill and Tom really well. Thanks for sharing them!
Can you please reincarnate manips for your older stories? Some of them got lost and I miss them. Thanks for bringing back some manips for Remnants!
Author's Response: Aw thank you! To be honest, I wasn't really planning to share these manips for this story until the last minute. I made them a long time ago when I originally started writing this.rnUnfortunately, as for my old manips, I've lost many of them too. I no longer have a place to host the ones I do have as we don't keep More Than Twins.com up and running any longer.

I love this story. It is very professionally written. It managed to engage me from its first pages. The characters are full-dimensional and alive. The plot is very interesting and the style is really cool.
Saying that I am a bit disappointed. The evil Bill won and prevailed and Tom became nothing but Bill's puppet. This ending of course fits with the dystopian story, but I cannot helped myself feeling this way.
Still, do not get me wrong. It is a great story! I hope you'll continue to write. I absolutely adore your style.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked the story :)rnI disagree that Tom is Bill's puppet. Perhaps he was earlier when he didn't know what was going on at the Hotel, or what the group's true motivations were. By the very end of the story, he does know and his eyes are open. If he chooses to still stay with Bill, it is with full knowledge. It is his choice to be there. :)rnSo glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for a great story. I loved reading and I loved hating what I was reading, lol. Very conflicting characters, dear, but characterization was brilliant.
Thank you!

This story kept me reading almost in frenzy, being so incredibly captivating and super intriguing.
You have a knack for describing villains in sweet and addictive colors. In the beginning I felt for your Tom and his miserable life very much and I was kinda glad he found a way how to be with Bill. How to become his little sweet puppy. As the story progressed though I slowly began to question his inteligence and humanity. When Bill tested him by turning him against Andreas, I was surprised he didn't figure it out on his own. At one point, when Bill let him fuck him for the very first time, I was almost proud of him when he reminded Bill his name was Tom, not just generic puppy name, but then he slipped back again and continued as Bill's shadow. I also hoped Tom would "wake up" and realize how foul and manupalitive whole world of Bill's truly was.
That sex scene with Koto ( I hope I got his name right) was very well written indeed. I give you that. We got to see Bill's true colors in full light. I don't know why but I found that scene sickening, mostly morally. I love kinky stuff and harsh sex scenes, I love dominance/ submission. I love when one is super vulnerable and the other commending. I don't know why that scene bothered me so much. Maybe because there was no balance between them to talk about, Tom had basically no say at all, the whole thing was quite predictable, Bill had Tom on leash and he didn't even have to be super smart about it. I was utterly disappointed in Tom for his weakness and absolute lack of own dignity.
In this last chapter Bill crowned his work and Tom has become an ultimate door mat. Plus a ruthless killer, and not the most inteligenf one either. Submission can be so sweet and beautiful sometimes, super sexy too, but Tom's submission just irrited heck out of me. Maybe I was hoping for some kind of twist in a plot, maybe I wanted him to challenge Bill little more...idk.
I love your writing and scene setting skills, I could see and smell all you wrote about. Brilliant work in that! Pitty, both Tom and Bill turned out to be such scum bags in the end.
Let's see what epilog brings.
Author's Response: Sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment. For some reason I've stopped getting replies in my inbox. Thanks for the comments about my writing, I'm glad it sucked you in so. Bill is very manipulative and loves power, but Tom is happy there too. I wouldn't describe him as a doormat because he does learn who Bill really is. He could walk away but he chooses to stay with him, chooses to continue to try to please him. Bill makes him feel loved and safe. Even thought that love is strange!

Wow, this story is so good. My favorite now. I love the storyline and it was interesting the whole way through. I don't know if you can or will but I'd love for there to be a sequel. Thank you for sharing
Author's Response: Thank you! Not sure about a sequel at this stage. I like the characters and the world so maybe, but no plans for one at the moment. :) Thanks for commenting.

If I had wrote this review right after readind this epilogue I would be kind of complaining about the story finishing with an incomplete feeling to it, because I felt all the dinamics between Bill and Tom would explode in some moment,
Now, days later, I can't quite write nothing more than a big big Thank You for writing this fic, it's truly an amazing story and you managed to keep Bill like a complex and interesting character until the very end.
Now I also understand by the epilogue that those two are supposed to work this way, and it was always to meant to have this end :)
I hope you find the inspiration to write again (considering this one was done a long time ago) and post more stories again!
Author's Response: Thanks for coming back to comment! I always knew the ending wouldn't please everyone, mostly because of the comments coming through the reviews as I was posting (people wanting Tom to stand up to Bill etc). You're right, in my mind the dynamic between the two of them was always going to end this way. Bill is the center of Tom's world and even when he finds out that Bill was lying, he still chooses to be with him.rnI wrote about half of this recently before I posted it, so who knows. Hopefully I will continue to have the time and inspiration to keep going somehow! :)rnrnThanks again for commenting and reading :)

I was not expecting this. I'm glad they're both alive though. I thought Tom would get mad at Bill and then he'd shoot him or something crazy like that. Poor Bushido, the man had no idea.
Date: 12/06/14 01:25 pm Title: Epilogue
Ok, I' m completely shocked.... I didn't expect it to end so abruptly, I didn ' t see that coming. I' m so sad right now because in this moment I'm studing very hard for a biochemistry exam, which I really hate, and your story was the only thing that made my day better!!!! And now it is finished!!!!
I always suspected that Bu didn't know Bill since he didn't recognise him on Tom's paper, honestly who could have forgotten Bill?? I' m really sorry for him, he wasn't the bad guy more than Bill and the others. Obviouly Tom did what Bill wanted him to do.
The end was really sad for me because you know my issues with submitted people, but I must say that your description of Tom crawling like a dog at Bill's feet was perfect, realistic and beautiful.
Thank you for this story!!!!!
Author's Response: Aw sorry this won't be around to keep you distracted!rnI'm glad you can still appreciate the end of this story, despite your misgivings about the submission element of Tom's personality. Hopefully people can see that by the end of it, Tom is there by choice and he submits to Bill because he wants to, he feels safe, and he feels loved doing it. THank you for all your comments while I was posting :)
Date: 12/06/14 03:06 am Title: Epilogue
Wow that was amazing. I had been hoping that Bushido had actually abused Bill, but it seems that was not the case. Bushido wasn't really a bad guy at all. Bill, on the other hand, is a very twisted and confused soul I think. I'm not even sure he knows what love is or is capable of it at the moment. Bill seems to just know how to use people to get what he wants; he's more possessive than loving. But hopefully he and Tom will be ok together...I'm so curious and would love to beg for a sequel but that's all on you and whether you had an idea for that or not....I would read it though ;)
I really loved Bill's character all of the way through the end - he's just so interesting and mysterious and downright sexy. I'm always a fan of the bad guy anyway. I kind of wonder if Bill's goal is to take over the Satin trade OR if he's hoping to wipe out Satin altogether. The people in the story are so addicted and dependent upon it, and that seems to be something Bill is adamant against, even though he casually uses it himself. At least hoping to rid people of their addiction by cutting off supply is a more noble cause...but he's so hard to read. Anyway, AMAZING JOB! This story will be stuck in my head forever, and I will probably reread it several times. Thank you for this gem. You're truly talented!
Author's Response: Thanks for leaving such a long comment! I wouldn't say that Bushido is 100% innocent in this story, he doesn't have a bad reputation for nothing, but he is not guilty of what Bill claimed. In this story, Bill is the real bad guy. I always wanted to write one where the bad guy wins!rnI'm not sure about a sequel to be honest, I don't have a story for it plotted out because to me, by the end of Loaded, Bill has acheived the aim he always had throughout the story... not sure if that answers your question about what he really wants to do about Satin! ;) Interesting idea though because I do still love the characters and the world.rnThanks so much for reading and for taking the time to comment, it keeps me going! :)

I feel so bad about Bushido.
Tom turned in 100% puppet of Bill's.
Bill turned to be a total scum, but I have to say it was clear already for a while.
I'll try to write a more coherent review later.
Date: 12/05/14 05:03 pm Title: Epilogue
Omg! How can it finish like this?! Was Bushido lying? Was this all just some fucked up lie that Bill made up just to have more power? I need to know more! Please T^T
Author's Response: This is the end I'm afraid! In the previous chapter Tom learned that Bill was the one lying, not Bushido. Bill is the bad guy in this story I'm afraid (though Bushido is not perfect either!)

Author's Response: Thank you! :)

Amazing story! It was so well developed and well written. I really did enjoy it. It will be strange not coming here every day and see a new chapter.
But before finishing this could you, please, just answer me something. I didn't quite get if Bushido was telling the truth or not about not abusing Bill. Did he really abuse Bill or it was just another lie from Bill to get what he wanted?
Once again...congrats for your work. Keep writing! :)
Author's Response: Hi :) just getting back to my reviews now. Thank you for commenting and reading.rnIn the previous chapter, Tom learns that Bill is the one that has been lying. No doubt Bushido is not perfect, but he doesn't know who Bill is and he is telling the truth when he says that he doesn't know what Bill is talking about. Hope that makes it clear!
