Author's Response:
I am glad you like the current pairing. I wanted Bill to meet other people, it was part of the point. There is another point which will be revealed as we go along. Thanks for the review and the positivity. I appreciate the suport.

Oh, by the way, I'm very curious about the point of this part of the story, but I guess I will realize that point in one of the future chapters, right?
Author's Response:
Definitely right now you'll have to remain curious.

I still think Ian is not right for Bill, I mean he's kind to Bill and so on, he's just not the kind of guy for Bill. I guess when Tom ever hears about Ian and Bill that it must hurt a lot especially because Tom knows about the kiss Ian and Bill shared, so yeah. My ex girlfriend and I broke up in 2012, and it still hurt when I found out she found herself a boyfriend this year. Now that I think about it, I'm fighting for the TomxBill pairing so much since she and I broke up, because at least I want my favorite characters in stories happy together :$ Is that weird? So, I hope Tom and Bill will get back together again in the end and that hope is enough to keep reading(and of course because you're still a great writer, I mean, I still like the way you write, even though I don't like the storyline at this moment, but I'll be able to get through this part of the story because of my hope) :)
Author's Response:
I am very sorry you lost someone you cared about. I understand when you suffer a loss wanting a story to go a certain way. I avoided sad stories for a while after I lost my mom because I couldn't handle it. Ian has a very specfic purpose which will be revealed as the story progresses but other than that I will not reveal anything. I am glad you will continue reading even though you don't like the content. Thanks for the review and the positivity. I really appreciate the support.

I hope you post the next chapter soon :) I'm sorry that I didn't review earlier, but I just didn't want to say anything bad about Ian again, so I just thought it was better for me to not review :$
Author's Response:
I appreciate your honesty about the whole Ian thing and I am still working on this story but I am wondering about posting because the negative has started to outweigh positive. I appreciate you not saying anything negative and reminding me that I still had people wanting to read the story. It will motivate me to post the next chapter later today. Thank you for letting me know that even with your unhappiness for some choices I have made you still want to read this story. I appreciate this review more than you can imagine.

Hey there,
you know my opinion about the whole Bill-Ian thing, so I won't repeat it. I just say that I try to accept Ian and try to see him as not such a bad guy, but damn it's hard o.o
I just want to say, that I still like your story, ( not the last chapters in terms of content) but the story as a whole is still beautiful written and one can see that you put a lot of afford into it. Especially if you're moving and with a lot of things to do in your private life, it gets even harder to sit down and write.
What I want to say is, this is your story and you are the person, who decides where it goes and how it ends. Of course this also means that you have the freedom to stick with your plans for it or to decide to change it for the readers. I guess that's the thing about posting somewhere where people can comemnt to every chapter. It gives a lot of opportunities if one gets critics or hints how to write better or to evaluate on certain points, but it also creates the situation that the author sees if readers do not agree with the storyline. Of course if you decide to stick wth what you're planning, it can cost you some readers.
Just try to stay proud of your work, no matter which direction you choose to take. As I said earlier, for me it's important that the author can stand behind his story with pride and can be satisfied with his story. No matter if the plot was changed from the original version or if the plot is kept as it was planned.
I'll stick with your story as long as your are motivated to write it ;) I might not read as precisley as I did earlier, but I still want to see where it goes in the end ;)
Good luck with your moving situation and don't feel demotivated to continue writing! I'm sure there are many who want to know the end of your story besides me^^
Author's Response:
I appreciate you not repeating the whoel Ian Bill thing. I am very glad you still like my story. That makes me very happy. I appreciate that you repsect this is my story and I am the one who determines the plot. I understand that my current plot may cost me some readers but it does have a purpose it's not just something I threw in there to throw in there. It has been a plot twist since I started writing. I am glad you will continue to read even if you disagree with the content that means alot to me about what you think of the quality of my writing. I enjoy writing and it helps me destress from all the packing we're doing but I still have less time to write so things may go a little slower. Positive reviews help because honestly the negativity drug me down really hard which is why I have not posted lately. Next chapter should be up in a little bit.

I just read the comment from angie and just want to say something, because you didn't just got only two comments for the last chapter, but also angie's was nice but critic.
I have to admit, that I didnt read the last 3 chapters - just because I want to wait and have to read a longer text at once.
I didnt like the big turn in your story and I have to admit, that angie isnt wronge, when she said, that it's dump, that bill and tom did fight so long and hard and they were in love, and that bill dumped tom in the trash, without giving him the chance to tell him why and how he felt (at least not long) its maybe not soo much logical, but also no one of us were in the situation of the two. I understand tom and bill a little bit. I mean, tom already sign the contract, so ... If I imagine that I have a boyfriend that I love and this boyfriend tells me, that he will go in a few days and that we wont see us for months or years, than yeah ... what reaction do you expect? Probably I wouldnt react much different (But Ian is a big negativ point in this situation, because he let it look as if bill is never really in love with tom - I know, its complicated and all, but yeah ...)
And Tom ... he is the only one who didnt know how its going on for him. but it was a little fast. I can understand him, but he could have give himself one more year - I mean, see it that way: Leave the love of your life, the person who you fight for and you want to stay your live, and wait a year if there comes a better situation for a job?
Or just push your love and relationship in a trashbag and dump it out of the window?
Seems to be clear what everybody would do, but for me it looks like, as if tom had heard to much to other people and had really serouis depressions.
But what I really wanted to say: Also if the big turn wasnt what everybody wished for, your story is still really great! You can be proud of it :)
Author's Response:
The recent plot turn has been in my notes since the beginning and I promise it has a point otherwise I would have changed direction as soon as people hated Ian. I am glad you still like the story and are still planning on reading even with it. Thank you for the review and the support. It means alot to me.

Hello, I read all the entire fic the first part I liked it, the patience of Tom and his efforts to conquer Bill, after all how bad Bill what happened to his father and the abuse he suffered as with Tom and his friends have been overcome, these last 4 chapters really have not liked nor less attitude bad you fill Tom's Bill and the fact that it was so quick and Bill ended their relationship without understanding some reasons tom and now runs into the arms of Ian (I detest the character) Bill is an idiot throughout the extention of the word and good fic I regret to say that the past 4 puts me in a bad mood and good decided not to continue reading it.
Being a very good story becomes something very very bad.
Not trying to be cruel, just I give my view.
Excuse my bad English, I'm very bad to express myself in a different language to mine.
Author's Response:
I am sorry you do not like the last part of the story and have decided not to continue. I would just like to inform you that this has a point or it wouldn't be in here. I don;t know how long it will go on but it will be a few more chapters. I hope you decide to return in the future and read the finished version.

I have to admit, I was reluctant about the Ian character, especially after Tom left. I thought he'd "swoop right in" and force himself on Bill...you know, to get top grade in class. But I love how you're writing this. Their being comfortable with each is nice to read. Really anxious to read what happens at the club!
Good luck with the move!
Author's Response:
Many people are reluctant about him but he is really a sweet guy. I hope everyone will stick with it for a little while longer. I will have the next chapter up sometime later today. Thanks for the luck and taking the time to read and review.

We will have to wait and see what happens with Ian and Bill. Tom is in basic training. You aren;t allowed contact with the outside world while you are in basic. I am glad you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to read and review.

So I finally had time to get caught up I had to read three chapters so this might get long.
First off let me just say that I felt horrified at the letters of rejection Tom kept receiving. I mean that kind of bad luck can't really exist. Not to mention how sad he was on graduation day! That would've been horrible.
I was so excited about Nat going into labor, makes me even more anxious about my due date in October! Feels like I've been pregnant for forever. I loved the name chosen as well. Christopher is such a strong name. And honoring Bill with the middle name was just awesome!
As for Tom and Bill's break up I wish j could say that I didn't see it coming but I did. Maybe not in the way it happened because I definitely wasn't expecting Tom to run off to ththe military. That's just crazy especially so quickly. I would've been mad too, do I think I would've broken up with him probably not. I mean I would've been pissed and maybe wouldn't have spoken to him for a while but I would've eventually came to my senses because at the end of the day I know you have to do what's best for you. To solidify your future whatever that may mean I have to know it's nothing personal against me.
But also I can see why Bill did what he did, I just wish he would've at least had a more rational conversation about it before Tom left. Even without getting back together but just to end things more smoothly.
Also I really hope we're gonna keep Ian around as a grind, not as a romantic interest because as I said the teacher and student thing is just really not a good idea. Can't we find Bill a nice struggling musician to fool around with or something!? Lol jut not his professor, especially since he's made it very clear that he fought to get Bill a spot. If people see them getting too close outside of class they might pin Bill as sleeping his way into things....
But then again you can d as you please, of course I'll still be here to read it :)
Anyways it was a great 3 chapters and I'm reall excited to see what's next.
Author's Response: I don't mind long reviews. They tend to make my day.rnrnBad luck like that really does exist. Sometimes you miss a deadline which results in automatic rejection. Sometimes you aren't the right age or don't have the right grades. Other times schools see that another more prestigious program rejected you and they reject you on the same grounds. rnrnNat going into labor on the day of the ball was something I decided in advance so I was anxious about making that go off properly. I wanted the name to be revealed right before Christopher was born. I thought it was more special like that. William as a middle name for Bill was awesome. I loved writing that. When you think about Bill helped them keep both of their heads and has been involved in the pregnancy almost as much as Georg and Nathalie. rnrnI wasn't sure anyone would see that coming. I tried to mask it as much as possible and keep people from being aware that it was going to happen but there was only so much damage control I could do. Tom and the military was something I started hinting at a while ago but it was obscure so I didn't expect many people to get that either. Bill tends not to think that way and in his mind it was very personal. rnrnI wanted it to be messy with a lot of loose ends for a reason so just bear with me on that front. rnrnI am not sure what the term grind is in this context so I can't give you an honest answer on that. Bill will find his bliss but in the process he'll probably have to make a lot of bad choices. I have a very specific point to certain things and story lines so if you just hang around I promise you will see the point to all of this. rnrnI am glad you will continue to read and enjoy the story even with a character doing something you don't like. rnrnThanks for taking the time to read and review. I appreciate the continued support. Good luck on your due date, you'll have to let me know how it goes when it's closer. See you soon.

Hey there,
I enjoy your fic very much, I love the syle of your writing since the beginning^^ To make up for the major lack of reviews from my side, I hope you don't mind the long review now !
I think it's a bit sad what happened between Bill and Tom. I can actually very much understand Tom. For Bill everything went well in the end. He got the school he wanted, he can have the carrer he wanted, he got those great friends around him backing him up all the time.
Tom on the other end had to "fight" with his best friend for his future to get the career he would have loved to go into and lost by a percent. He got denied by any other school, doesn't have money to support himself through college so easily... so I understand that he applied in the Military, where he can at least join the mechanics, have a decent health care and career options. I was in a similiar situation just recently but decided against the german Military and count on a bit of luck right now. Some people can't choose everything as they want it, but need to compromise to be able to work in the job they love some day. Having a shitty job ( that's often low paid but time intensive) is one of the worst things, expecially when all your friends have great chances to earn good money and actually enjoy what they're doing. And Bill always reacts very hard to things like that, so I can relate that Tom didn't tell, but it was still a bad move from him.
So yeah..I actually feel more sorry for Tom than for Bill.
I don't like that Tom didn't tell Bill sooner, but I don't like that Bill can't put himself in Tom's shoes. What was he supposed to do to achieve something he could be at least a bit proud of or that opens him new doors? The superman comparison I think was really good in that sense.
With Ian...I absolutely don't like him xD So I don't read as intently as I normaly do right now. I'm just really put off by him and his behaviour. So yeah, I will scan over the chapters till I get used to him XD But don't feel put off or unhappy with that. As long as you like this character and want to stick with him, everything is good ;) There's nothing worse than an author who is not happy with his own story because he listened to moody readers xD
Author's Response: I am very glad you have enjoyed this fiction so thoroughly that you decided to review. I enjoy long reviews so I am happy that you left one.rnrnI do understand what Tom is going through. I went through a similar crisis of faith when I finished high school and briefly considered joining the military as well. Tom has to fight for everything in life and that low paying time intensive job does suck because you can never get ahead in life. Bill is very much a dramatic character and Tom knowing this held off. In my mind he held back too long and as a result it made Bill angrier but that was the direction this story was urging me to go. rnrnI am very sorry you don't like Ian. He is a character I enjoy very much and for now he is here to stay. I hope you continue to read and enjoy. I am glad that you will continue to read my story even with a character you don't like. It makes me very happy. Thank you for your input regardless.rnrnThank you for taking the time to read and review. I really appreciate any of my lurkers becoming lovers. I hope you will continue to review in the future.

Boy, Tom sorta pushed Bill into Ian's arms. I think Bill is only trying to convince himself if he thinks Ian only wants to be friends. Can't wait for next chapter.

Argh ... I didnt like Ian from the beginning, and I still dont like him. He is a teacher that is trying to get in to a students pants, from the first moment they met. And he is not a sensitiv, mentally good person. He just is not sorry for bills broken heart and his dead father, but trying to get near to him immadiately. he is nt a nice person ...
Hi hope you wont let the get togehter ... And I hope tom and bill will end u togehter at the end.
Hm ... I'm just not happy for tom or bill at the moment :/ Its so weird to read this story at the moment, because it became so different.
Bill and tom should be happy together, they have been trough so much :(
