Yay for David. I love how protective he's being of Bill. Maybe some guilt in there that he didn't prevent the rape in the first place. I do feel a little sympathy for Tom at this point but not much. Not sure at all how the twins' relationship can ever be repaired. Loved both this and the previous chapter.
Author's Response: There's definitely some guilt on David's part. He's in very much a parental role, as their manager, I think. Certainly when they're on the road it's his job to protect them and make sure nothing bad happens. I'm glad you're enjoying so far, the next chapter shouldn't take too long.

Thank you for letting Tom live! I hope he stays alive, especially now when he really seems to start realising just what an idiot he's been and all.
David was... well, he was pretty harsh, to put it nicely, but I also think he kind of gave Tom the push he needed to realise what a fucking coward he is, and how much his actions are and will hurt Bill.
I like that David was a bit gentle with him in the end, like he also thinks that maybe Tom can get help and change. I so, so hope he'll get the help he needs and that he and Bill can find a way back to each other. Things might never be exactly the same, but they're twins, they need each other.
Another great chapter, I must say I'm so happy I gave your first story a chance. It's nothing what I normally read, Bill/Gustav is not a pairing I like really and I don't usually even give them a second thought, I just skip them, but somehow I read it anyway and even though I didn't like the ending of it this sequel makes up for it, I rarely get this hooked so well done you, and thank you for an amazing story! Keep it up!
Author's Response: I'm glad you gave the first story a chance too, since your reviews have been a delight to read so far! David was harsh, but he's angry. He's been handling all the press and ugliness like calling the twins' parents, and shielding them from as much off it as possible. Gustav is lucky David hasn't got his hands on him, because he'd be in for so much worse than a broken bone getting squeezed.

David should not have done this to Tom. It is like kicking a wounded puppy.
Glad to hear that Bill forgiven Tom. Also very glad that Tom survived.
Author's Response: He definitely shouldn't have done it, but hopefully Tom learns something from it.

I like this Georg. He is a great person and friend.
How come Bill did not ask what happened to Tom? I guess Bill was too freaked out.
I like how the story develops. Thanks for fast updates!
Author's Response: Too freaked out, and too drugged. He'll be asking when he wakes up though. Nobody knows the full story of what's going on except David, and he's covering up a lot of things to try and protect Bill and Georg.

Please update soon. This story is incredible.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll update as soon as I can
Date: 01/14/15 06:07 pm Title: 8: Secrets
This was nice. I am glad Bill got a bit of happiness in the midst of his sufferings.
I worry about Tom now. What will happen to him? I totally get it why Bill is still concerned about him and wants to forgive him.
Author's Response: I don't know yet what's going to happen to Tom. You'll have to find out with me!

Sad Bill breaks my heart :( but it's so beautifully written that I don't even mind. I really, really hope he can find a way to forgive Tom (if that bastard is even alive still, the suicide warning doesn't make it look too promising, but I'm still hoping) but only if Tom really changes and wants to take some responsibility for his actions. Like, I'm not sure how it works where this is set, but in Sweden, where I live, you can get psychiatric help instead of jail if the tests you go through proves that you did it because your mind is fucked up.. either way, I hope Tom can get help and that he and Bill can find a way back to each other.
Not so sure about this Bill and Georg thing, even though I saw it coming thanks to the pairing. Many times in these kind of stories it can become a bit too much when you throw in romance in them, even though it's sweet, because often a person who's gone through these things aren't ready for that kind of thing yet, but I trust you with making it work.
Another great chapter, I'll be waiting for more :)
Author's Response: Sad Bill is incredibly hard to write, so I'm glad it works! Safe to say he's going to be sad for a long time yet, even if Georg does manage to patch up his broken heart. Don't worry though, I'm not planning to turn this into a romance. Bill just needed to know why Georg was such a wreck over what happened to him, and why he's so protective. It remains unrequited, I think.

I'm happy Tom called David and also happy he called and turned Gustav in, but dammit he's such a coward. I understand him a bit, I'd be scared as hell to go to jail as well, but he did something horrible and running away from it won't get any better. And if he thinks this has hurt Bill, then can't he even imagine how he'll feel if Tom dies? Like dude, you're just hurting him even more!
Gah, I'm so frustrated with him, I wish I could punch him for being such an idiot.
Great chapter, I'll be waiting for more!
Author's Response: If you want to hit him I must be doing something right, since I know I wanted to hit him by the end of that chapter too. I tried to end it a dozen other ways, but that was the only one that worked. Guess what though - you're going to have to wait a while to find out if he's alive or not. Mwahahahaha!
Date: 01/14/15 12:51 am Title: 7: Traffic
Tom is a coward. Cannot believe he was still deliberating whether to turn Gustav in or not after Gustav asked him to find a girl.
Attempt to end his own life is also a cowardly way out. I hope Tom will survive and figure out a more acceptable way to redemption.
***
"He's hoping for a chance to bring Bill down even further, by hurting his twin. It's always hurt them ten times more to see each other suffer." == how come Tom did not get hurt then, when Gustav was torturing Bill. Temporal blackout?
Author's Response: He is a coward, and he knows it and he hates himself for it. As for why it didn't hurt before - because it was part of Tom's fantasy. It's hurting him now though, because he's learning the danger of taking fantasy into reality.
Date: 01/14/15 12:09 am Title: 7: Traffic
Didnt see that coming!
Author's Response: I'm glad you didn't! That means I'm doing something right.
Date: 01/13/15 08:30 pm Title: 6: Monsters
Finally, Tom realized how sick in the head Gustav is. I think it is too dangerous for Tom to stick with Gustav, no matter the reasons. I hope Tom will not get hurt. I know that he hurt Bill by inaction, but no one deserves Gustav's violence, not even Tom.
Author's Response: I wish I could say it'll get better for him, but he really has no good options at this point.
Date: 01/13/15 06:02 pm Title: 5: Hatred
At least Tom feels guilty now. I hope that he'll be brave enough to turn Gustav in. He owes this to Bill.
Author's Response: He doesn't seem very brave at the moment, does he? I'm looking forward to find out what happens next as well.
Date: 01/13/15 06:02 pm Title: 4: Guilt
I can totally see why Bill, Georg and David all think that it was thkir fault, while of course it was not. Nobody could foresee something so crazy and inhumane.
I think it is kind of weird that Bill being a victim of such a violent rape let Georg sleep in the same bed with him. Usually victims such as Bill cannot tolerate anyone even touching them, let along sleep in the same bed, for a long time. This fast progression in the story does not seem natural to me.
Author's Response: Not all victims react the same way. Some take a lot of comfort in being protected by someone they trust. Georg found him and protected him, so Bill trusts him. Plus, his rapist wasn't someone he's ever slept with or been intimate with, so there's no association between the two things.
Date: 01/13/15 05:22 pm Title: 5: Hatred
"He doesn't care about anything any more."
That sentence just made me cry. Oh my Bill. Plz you have to care... for yourself. I amso glad that Georg is there and i think he is Billīs last rock to hang on. I donīt know what to think about Tom. I really canīt believe that heīs sorry. I just canīt. Maybe heīs pretending? Maybe he just plays a game with Bill? Gosh what is when he finds out where Bill is? He said that he'd fantasized about it since he was eleven? Because OF THAT i think he will try to make this fantasies become true. Really. I think he will find out where Bill is and then... omg no... But IMO Tom is a sick monster and he will not stop until Bill is his... I think so.
I really like how you write... how you discribe the mood and feelings.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad this fic is playing with your emotions so much, that means I'm doing something right.
Date: 01/13/15 02:36 pm Title: 5: Hatred
Oh man, what are you doing to me?! I was biting my nails while reading this, I even forgot how to breathe for a moment.
Shit, I don't know what to say, I want Tom to not be as horrible as we thought so badly, but on the other hand, that fucking bastard... ugh! What he said... Argh I want to strangle him!
I so, so hope he'll do the right thing and turn Gustav, and himself, in. That he'll do the right thing for Bill, his fucking brother! HIS TWIN! Dammit Tom..
I don't know if Tom is just playing a game, maybe he and Gustav are planning something, which wouldn't surprise me, but dammit I hope there's at least some part in Tom that wants to do the right thing.
I really, really enjoy this story, mostly because I have no idea what will happen. Many stories nowadays are so predicable and I hate that, but with this.. I have no idea what will happen, I don't know if Tom is actually even more of an ass than we thought and is planning something with Gustav, or if he's going to end up being a tiny bit better and just do what he should do and call the police, and I LOVE that I don't know. It's the best part with stories, when you want more just to see how it will turn out.
Great job! I really mean it, I'm so excited and curious about this, and that my friend is something very, very rare when it comes to me, so well done!
Author's Response: What am I doing? I'm torturing you on purpose, just like I am Bill! And I get a kick out of it! *evil laugh* I mean, uh, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying this, and I love that you can't see where it's going next. Neither can I, if that helps any. I'm just kind of winging it, so even I don't know if Tom is truly a monster or just someone who made a huge mistake.
Date: 01/13/15 10:00 am Title: 4: Guilt
Aww babies, it's not your fault :( it's Gustav and Tom who are the idiots here.
Man I just want to hug them both, it's all so sad and painful. The ending though, that was so sweet, I could totally imagine them both cuddles up together and it's such a cute picture in my head. Again, thank god for Georg, I'm so, so happy Bill has him, he needs someone he can trust and Georg is the perfect friend.
Author's Response: They won't stop believing that it was their fault for a while yet. It's a difficult thing to overcome. The sad and painful stuff isn't over yet, not by a long shot. I'm glad you're enjoying this though. I'm always looking forward to reading your reviews.
Date: 01/12/15 10:28 pm Title: 3: Security
I think Bill is so accustomed to have Tom by his side, that now when he can't anymore, he uses Georg as a subconscious substitute.
Great chapter! I love your quick updates!
Author's Response: That's a very good idea. I hadn't even thought about that. I'm glad you like it!
Date: 01/12/15 07:27 pm Title: 2: Nurses
Poor Bill. Where is his mother? Why is she not at the hospital?
Author's Response: The band was on tour, so they're a long way from home. Under ordinary circumstances he'd be crying for Tom, but he can't.
Date: 01/12/15 07:21 pm Title: 1: Cops
As Georg, I do not understand it either.
Glad you are writing the sequel!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
Date: 01/12/15 04:51 pm Title: 2: Nurses
Awh, poor Bill, I feel so sorry for him, and when he asked for Georg my heart broke. I just want to hug him, poor thing.
I really like your writing style, and that says a lot because I'm probably the pickiest reader you'll ever find, it's hard to get my attention and even harder to keep it, but I really like the way you describe things and you make the emotions so realistic, which is something I adore in writers. So yeah, great job! I'm looking forward to more :)
Author's Response: If it helps any, Georg will be hugging him a lot in chapters to come. There's a lot of comfort to be found in his big arms and broad shoulders of his. I'm really glad you like the way I write! That's a huge compliment and it's pretty much made my day!
