No please don’t wrap it up :( I love it!
Author's Response: All good things must come to an end. Just not quite yet. :)

Your story is perfect, there is not one thing wrong with it, I promise. Please this story is too precious to be abandoned just because of some lazy reviewers. I am absolutely in love with your story as well as the characters. They have something so realistic and beautiful about them, I have rarely read something like this. Don't let this discourage you and I'm looking forward for moooore.
Author's Response: Awwww, thank you. :)
MY biggest issue isn't really reviewers (though more reviews is ALWAYS appreciated) since reviews have been a pretty standard 5 per chapter, every chapter, but I've been keeping track of the read count just to see if it's being read, and that number has been dwindling pretty dramatically. But, hey, maybe that just means everyone is caught up, so they're just reading the new chapter instead of it and the 50+ beforehand. :)
*loves and loves* There's still an awful lot left to come, so you def have more to look forward to. :D

I would read this story every single day, so please keep on writing about these two lovebirds! Their connection is the sweetest, how Bill is able to comfort him makes me want to cuddle thean: I mean, Paris without his Tom would not be the same! Love them so so so
Author's Response: Man, just think how tiny everyday chapters would be. They'd be, like, 501 words each, just so they'd be long enough to post. ;)
Paris without Tom would be sooooo boring. Bill would just spend all day texting him and never do anything out and about or interesting. Besides, they could always get Delphine a cute little scarf at home. No need to head across the world for it.

Loved it :)
Author's Response: Thankies much!

No, please don't stop writing. I love their everyday life, how they're getting closer and closer and Tom's improvements and setbacks. The detail is amazing. Sorry I haven't been reviewing, got a new puppy a few weeks back and he's keeping me busy, along with the 2 cats we already have. Please, please keep on with this story it always makes me happy to have an update email. Glad you're all recovered from your surgery, love Helen x
Author's Response: It's good to know that people are still enjoying the story. :) Things have been a little slow the last couple chapters, not a WHOLE lot going on, so I had concern that people were getting bored because things are just...nice atm. idk.
Thanks much for the surgical well wishes. :D Things are still a little fuzzy, but it's getting better by the day. :)
Be sure to give that puppy (and the kitties) pets from me!

I feel so ashamed... I was so late on your story that I didn't let any review along the way... But I'm going to, it will take some time but I will, lol.
Tom is so much better now. Of course we can see in this chapter he's not all okay with everything but it's going to get better, I guess, even if he has made so many progress ! I'm so proud of him !!
Bill is still Bill, he's so caring that I want to cry sometimes, he's so cute. I love him.
A place for them both could be great, it will be THEIR place, their own. And I think it's going to help Tom some more. And a new friend for Delphine is a good idea !!
I'm not bored of your story, not at all. I don't want this to end lol !
Author's Response: For shaaame. But, nah, things happen, s'all good.
He's def better, but there are still those moments and those little things that are going to set him off. So many little things.
Bill's a love. He tries so hard.
Their own place! Maybe something with an open floor plan so, even if they're not in the same 'room', they're still in the same room. Because otherwise, seriously, they'd just stay crammed in the same five foot area all the time.
This story is STILL in the WIP phase, so there's still MONTHS of posting left to go. :)

This time it was one step forward and one step back instead of two steps back. Hooray!
Author's Response: Getting closer by the day. ;)
Date: 10/07/17 08:34 pm Title: Chapter 55
Okay so I figured this time i'm going to copy and paste my review since it keeps getting eaten by the page!
Loved the chapter so much! But I hate to see Tom hasn't fully given up some old thought patterns. I can sense something bad happening. He needs to tell Bill about it, bottling up those toxic thoughts is always going to lead to something bad! He doesn't seem to entirely accept that he is enough for Bill and that Bill will love him regardless of all his flaws. He's trying so hard, but sometimes he just needs to act more intuitively and stop listening to his brain!
I still love this story so much it just keeps getting better! Cannot wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Huzzah to the full review!
Date: 10/07/17 05:56 pm Title: Chapter 55
this was a good chapter!
i cant wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Date: 10/05/17 02:18 am Title: Chapter 55
Gaaah! I want Tom to be okay! But holy cow he's come far! I can totally understand his thoughts on the whole "should I just get it over with and deal with it after - which might not be as bad as i think it'll be" God he's precious!
Also... his love for Bill's booty, I mean... who wouldn't? 😂
I love this story so fucking much and I'm sorry I rarely review!!
Author's Response: He really has come so far. :) One little step after the other, and next thing you know, you've got a handful of booty.
Hey, you reviewed this time, so that's pretty great in my book. :D
Date: 10/03/17 01:56 am Title: Chapter 54
Look at these domestic little beasts!
Seriously, though. As I sit here and look at laundry and dusting I should do, I think I need a Bill. And a Delphine. Should probably throw Tom in there just to be safe! ;)
And it's always nice seeing these two make a little progress. Baby steps!
Author's Response: All told, if you wanted a clean place, your best bet would be to get an unbroken Tom. He does windows and makes sure the kitchen sinks get bleached out regularly. Bill just occasionally remembers to hang up his nice shirts and makes someone else come clean up after him when things get too mucky. ;)

I've been purposely avoiding this until now, because I'm going away for a week on Wednesday and I didn't want to wait longer than I had to, so unless you happen to post the next one tomorrow, I'm going to miss it D:
I was expecting drama, but not that kind of drama! :O That was good drama.
It was kind of cute that they act like newly-dating teenagers, rather than adults who've been together for years and years. Even though I know it's because of Tom's anxiety, it was still cute. :)
"At least I wouldn't smell like a lemon died on me" and "You're cute when you're wrong" made me smile ridiculously, that was so adorable (':
I'm all out of words now, so I will leave you with a general (but completely honest) "LOVE THIS CHAPTER!!! < 3", a goodnight, and a see you in a week. :)
Author's Response: I was starting to wonder where you'd wandered off to.
So much naked drama just out on display! ;)
They are precious, awkward babies, taking to slow as hell. Plus, hey, Tom's first relationship with a dude. Everything is new and weeeird.
Nooooooo, more words! I like the words. Words are good. :D

Review got cut again, I'm sorry :(
Author's Response: What....what was the rest of it?
Date: 09/29/17 03:40 pm Title: Chapter 54
*Sighs* These 2 always manage to break my heart. Their relationship is just too pure, so breakable, so tender
Author's Response: Sweet, fragile babies. :)
Date: 09/28/17 03:45 am Title: Chapter 54
Here I am again! Well I love these two and so happy they’ve won the case and are so finally back to their routine!
Tom is stil improving so much, learning again to appreciate physical contact in THAT way with the one he loves. But I can understand and feel Bill’s frustation: it’s clear the last thing he wants is to break Tom but physical desire is so strong sometimes that you wish the other person could understand. Well now I don’t think i am making much sense now haha
Again, well done. Love these two
Author's Response: Heeeey, welcome back.
Little by little, tiny steps towards maybe something? Or maybe towards realizing that 'something' isn't in the cards.
Ah, Bill. He wants the sweet loving so much, but, yeah, not enough to be willing to break Tom for it.
Maybe he should organize another meteor shower. It worked pretty well the last time. ;)
Date: 09/26/17 10:43 pm Title: Chapter 54
this was a really good chapter!!
i can not wait for the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Thank you much! More chapters coming...SOON.
Date: 09/23/17 08:46 am Title: Chapter 53
What a cute chapter! I didn't realize you are back from your hiatus but oh well :D
I love that Bill can talk to his mom about these kind of things. I'm sure it's also good for him to process the past and finally move on. Tom. Sweet Tom is doing so much better.. Delphine seems to have such a positive effect on him. I hope the future will be bright for them and they will finally be able to live like a normal couple. Can't wait for the next chappie! :)
Author's Response: Yep! It hasn't been long, so you didn't miss out on, like, 15 chapters before checking again. No big. :)
After keeping his folks at arms length for so long, it's about time Bill started letting them in again. They can be a part of his life, and Tom's, again.
Tom loves his baby girl almost as much as he loves his boy. Now he just needs 15 more dogs and he'll be all set.
Date: 09/21/17 10:18 pm Title: Chapter 53
Everyone is okay and that is awesome. It was good for Bill and Simone to have that talk, I liked how he was honest - but gently honest! - about his past behavior. And I like that Tom did something so very normal without even realizing it until after he had jumped the hurdle.
Author's Response: Bill and Simone totally needed to have a little talk. There's a lot of his life that she missed out on because he cut them off, and now she knows at least a bit of it, which probably makes things make a bit more sense on her end. And Tom. Who knew that taking the pup out could end up being such a big step for him? :)
Date: 09/20/17 09:22 pm Title: Chapter 53
I was just about to get to sleep when I remembered what day it was, then I get here and find you updated on TUESDAY? What is this madness?!
I love Bill and Simone's conversations, she always knows how to help Bill out with whatever's bugging him < 3
Tom went OUTSIDE. What a twist. He's doing so much better now and he barely even realises it.
I see what you mean about ending it here-ish, it's a nice spot. Things are good, they're back home with Delphine, all is well. They still need to... ahem, /get together/ though, so no ending yet! ;)
Lovely chapter < 3 :)
Author's Response: If it helps, it was literally like 3 minutes before Wednesday, so it was BARELY still Tuesday at all.
Simone is a good mom. She's glad to see her boy doing better (or to see him at all), and she's gonna be there for him.
OUTSIDE. Sure outside surrounded by fences might as well still be inside, but it's a start. :)
Everything is going so well! Now to drop a mountain on them. *squish*
Date: 09/20/17 07:20 am Title: Chapter 53
this was a good chapter!!
i cant wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks much and see ya next week. :)
