So i had to read 5 chapters to get caught up. This third trimester has been killer for me. But I've finally had the time and strength to read. And can I say wow. There were a lot of things I was never expecting.
I can say I am glad that Andi and Parson are working out great. Thats probably one of my favorite things that has happened since these guys graduated.
This cliffhanger though is killing me and I can't wait to see what happens..
Author's Response:
I am glad you are feeling better and hey thrid trimester it means all the waiting is nearly at it's end. Maybe your baby will be here in time for Christmas. Andi and Parson is one relationship I did not plan. Most of what you see has been carefully planned with a few tweaks here and there as the ideas grow and change. Andi and Parson hit me completely out of left field. I am glad it is working out though. I will try to post soon so hang in there.

Hey there,
I absolutely loved this chapter^^ Well done! And I'm amazed how my tiny remark inspired you to write this chapter this way *blush* Thank you!
I'm so content now with seeing how Bil finally understood why Tom did sign up and that they reconnect. This cliffhanger is a mean one, but hey that's how authors are, right?^^
I'm defintely happy now and also relieved that my waiting for this was justified :)Thank you.
I'm deperately waitng for the next chapter.
Greetings^^
Author's Response:
Your remark was definitely the main reason this chapter came to be this chapter. I am very glad for the help otherwise it would have gone a completely different way.
rnMaking Bill and Tom come back together in this way makes me feel better about the whole creative process. I have been crying along with all of you so I know that this has been a terrible wait for everyone. I am working on the new chapter and will hopefully (no promises) have it up later.
rnI am glad you liked where it went. I will have it up as soon as I can. Thanks for taking the time to read and review. I appreciate the support.

Great chapter :) Loved reading it. Glad Tom's still alive :)
Author's Response:
I am glad you liked it. I wanted Tom to be ok after scaring the crap out of everyone. I am glad everyone felt basically the same about it. Thanks for taking the time to read and review and being the 213th reviewer and breaking my old record. See you next time.

I am glad you liked it. I had to make sure Tom survived but at least scared us all a little bit. Thanks for taking the time to read and review.

Hey there,
one theory of mine was wasn't too far from the actual plot xD I thought you might get Tom injured ...well not shot by a trainee, but hey I got at least a bit right xD I thought it would happen a bit later when he is doing duty in another country. Well the trainee thing is a bit better for him XD So because of that I had a smile on my face in the chapter. Oh and because of the decription of the normal hosptial madness, I had to wait in there with my mom a few times.
Finally Bill got Tom's letters! I'm excited how he'll take them, since as I know Bill in here, he might get a bit angry about the last? But I guess it will smooth out now, especially since Tom is now out of the military. I have to admit, I kinda thought it to be interesting for him to be there, since dealing with a boyfriend in military is hard, managable but hard and also I'm concerned about what he can do to earn money now? I want Tom to be sucessfull in something he likes so he won't be the one to have the shittiest job...(I know military isn't the best either, but at least it holds some good reputation).
Anyway, thanks for the quick update and see you next time ;)
Author's Response:
When Tom signed up for the military his fate was sealed. He was going to get shot or injured in some way. I wasn't entirely how it was going to happen. This was the best I could do. I spent an entire night in the emergency room with a boyfriend once. It was that weird so that was pulled from life.
rnI never had in the original plan for Bill to get the letters. It was one of your suggestions that made me think of it actually. So thanks for the inspiration. I have a plan for Tom that doesn't involve him having a shitty job so keep your eyes open for that. I just updated so tell me what you think and as always thanks for the review.

Tom is alive! I was afraid that Tom dies and then Bill go with Ian. Hajaja afortunadly no! Great chapter! Thanks!
Author's Response:
Tom is alive. I have never actually killed one of the twins in my stories. I don't think I could handle it. I am glad you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to read and review.

Hey there,
great chapter, I really enjoyed drunk Andreas^^ Of course I loved the kiss B&T shared as well, but also...maybe this isn't the very best idea to do with alcohol in their bloodstream. Maybe I'm just too concerned xD I hope they just get it together again.
Don't worry I'm not only here because of my stubborness, I still enjoy the story. I had my "down-phase" in between, but now I'm very into it again x3
And I agree that trying to give Ian more dimensions would take too much effort concerning pacing at this point and I guess it would also cause the storyline to take a weird detour. So yeah, sitll happy that he's split from Bill now^^
Well I'll be even more happy to read the next chapter soon ;)
Author's Response:
I am glad you enjoyed drunk Andreas. I loved writing him and I loved writing Bill and Tom's scene in here too. It probably isn't a good idea to do this when they're drunk but when do eighteen year olds make sound decisions.
rnI am glad you like the story and aren't here out of sheer stubborness.
rnI am very glad ot be nearly rid of Ian except for a few moments here and there. He is a bit hard to deal with it.
rnI will try to post it soon but right now it is not finished yet. Thanks for taking the time to read and review.

I loved it! And drunk Andreas is so funny :P and I know this doesn't mean that Bill and Tom are back together, yet, but yaay, they're kissing :D

I loved writing drunk Andreas. He was so much fun to write. It was also fun to write them kissing and everything. Thank you for taking the time to read and review. I appreciate the support.

Awh, Tom's feeling he just wrote done are too much :'( But good, I'm glad Bill told Ian the truth, that's what Ian deserves(even though I don't like him, he really did deserve the truth) so I'm proud of Bill. Can't wait for the next chapter :)
Author's Response:
Tom is very eloquent in his letters. I am very glad Bill told Ian the truth Ian did definitely deserve it. I posted the next chapter and I hope you will like it.

Hey there,
Don't worry, things go smoother now than before, hence why I take my time to write you a few more detailed reviews now instead of short or even sloppy ones on my part^^ I was writing half of this until you posted the second chapter, so now I'm rewriting xD
Well, I'm a teasing author as well (I'm pretty sure some of my readers curse me often enough), so it would be more than hypocritical to be seriously mad at you xD I know cliffhangers and teasing is a temptation! Still an "argh" and "when are you posting again?" in your direction, Miss!
You're always good for a surprise, I hadn't expected to see two chapters up so soon. It's like christmas in a way ;)
Those chapters were smooth to read and they were actually the first ones since a few, which I read in detail again.
And Ryan and Oranitz were there, yay, I love those two , Tara of course is also pretty cute. Like all kids, she's asking all the weird, uncomfortable questions with the innocence of a child. Lovely part!
Then Ian finally falling from grace! Thank you so much for liberating me xD
Then Tom's letter again...damn he can be blind and...as stubborn as Bill^^
I'm too stubborn to leave this story before it's finished, so I guess at this point you could throw anything at me and I'd sit here and still read it. Maybe while gnawing on my tongue, but still reading^^
I think writing a Mary Sue character can happen easily, especially if you like the character yourself as author or you really want to make him/her likeable for the readers. Sometimes it works and one is only scratching the edge, sometimes it doesn't. It's very hard to balance that.
Building up characters is a very hard job in my opinion and (again in my opinion) Ian is the only one not at the same level as the others. You managed to bring so many different charcters alive, who struggle, get better and struggle again that I'd give you a fist bump if I'd stand next to you. Also the growing apart thing is pretty interesting and actually mirrors friendcircles that change in real life.
I'm a bit sad about Nathalie and Bill, since for me family is the only thing that never changed regarding how close we all are. But I'm aware that being so close to cousins, sister and parents after passing 20 is not common. So yeah it's just seems sad to me, but I fear it's accurate to what happpens to a lot of other people.
Some readers have great ideas or somtimes poke you a bit and I think that is a really cool thing when posting stories on a website like this. Sure it can be a curse too from time to time.
Thanks for the very fast update! I'll be anxciously waiting for the next one since finally, I'm kinda rid of Ian XDDD YAY! (I dare you to bring him back :P)
Author's Response:
I am glad things are going smoother and I didn't mean to make you rewrite your review. I just wanted to get the next chapter up. I love teasing readers I just have to be careful because some readers will give up after a bit. The first chapter had alot of heavy stuff in it and I wanted to give all my readers a reward for being so loyal to this story for so long.
rnI wanted to let Ian go and move on. He had served his purpose.I brought Ryan and Oranthiz back because I missed them and Tara. I worked with kids so I recognize their ability to ask questions you would rather avoid. I am glad you liked the whole thing with Ian. I was originally planning on him flying off the handle and proving everyone right for once but I couldn't quiet get it right. Tom really is blind but would we really love him any other way.
rnI am glad to know you are too stubborn to leave a story before it's completion but I hope you are sticking with it not just because you're stubborn but because you actually like it.
rnI didn't even realized Ian was a Mary Sue until he started annoying me in his perfectness. He is very one dimensional and I not sure I would be able to ever get him to the level of the others without major issues in terms of pacing.
rnI am glad you like all my characters and find them realistic. It is one thing I have been working on for so long so to have finally achieved it, makes me very happy. I would definitely return that fistbump.
rnI am blessed to have retained one true friend from school but it is one friend when you consider how many I actually had in high school this is sharp retraction. It is very accurate I went back to what got me started on this story and that was baseing it on things that had actually happened to me. This was one of them.
rnI really do like reiews for the motivation and the inspiration.
rnI will try to keep updating but I am caught up on chapters I have completed so it might be a little while. Challenge accepted. (Kidding) See you soon.

Thanks for taking the time to read and review. There is a special surprise in the chapter after the next. Both of which I am posting later today as a thank you for everyone who has stuck around for so long. I hope you like it.
