Congratulations for being featured with this story!!! Well deserved!
P.S. I keep rereading parts with Bill and Tom. There is some magical connection between them always in the air. I love reading it about it over and over. :)
Author's Response: Thank you, ura! I was soooo happy and excited and thrilled to see that! And I feel the same way knowing you're rereading certain parts of this story over and over - There is no bigger compliment than that!!

You got featured...congratulations. About time too. I know I said I was going to review and write you...sorry. I'm spending so much time working in our lovely garden and I am knackered in the evening. I have read all the incredible chapters...no one writes action and dialogue like you. I will definitely review the next chapter and write you this week. Love you to bits, Helen xx
Author's Response: I just saw that yesterday at work! Jumping up and down at my desk got some attention, but then I couldn't even share why I was so spastic, which is so sad. You're already gardening? Me too!! and it's making me soooo happy - I've got tomatoes growing!! I'll send you some pics. I made a little bird feeding area and bought some flowers and we sit on the patio on our days off and have our bfast out there. It's just lovely. Glad you're enjoying your new place and thanks so much for letting me know you're enjoying the story! Kisses! XXXOOO

I Am so glad they found him, that Tom was able to follow her to him... I just want Bill to open his eyes and see some of this was Zane's fault. If he'd had been a lot more honest, maybe Bill could've been more careful. But then I guess you wouldn't really have a story then, would ya!? Lol
Glad he's safe and with Tom... I'm glad there wasn't too much Zane in this chapter, I'm pretty miffed at him right now....
Even though my update is late cause I read this right after it posted. It was a great chapter, can't eat t for th next!
P.s. Whewwwww aggressive Andi!!!!!
Author's Response: Hello, inlovewithTom! (guess that right there tells me exactly who you're rooting for in this story, lol). I know Zane's been sketchy, but hopefully he'll start to make up for it. Bill just wants to be happy in his relationship, he's really not too high-maintenance otherwise, so if Zane just starts being honest, and can spend more time with Bill, then they can get more serious and... Wait, you DO agree with me, right? Hello? Um...right.... We'll just have to wait to see what happens. And I'm sure we'll get a little more of Andi in the future (hopefully being just as bossy!) See you next time, thanks so much for reviewing!

Hi, sweetie. I'm so so sorry I haven't been in touch, or reviewed the last couple of chapters. Life has been uber hectic since we moved and time seems to be running away. I'll write some proper reviews over the next couple of days and also finally drop you an email. Just gotta say that I'm loving the story and all the drama...and this mammoth chapter ending with a kiss. If that doesn't convince Bill that Tom's the one...Can't wait for the next one. Love you to pieces, Helen xx
Author's Response: Hi, Helen! I miss you! But I completely understand, I know your life is hectic and you've got lots going on. Believe me, I know the feeling. I started writing this story knowing my time constraints and it's only gotten worse, so I always feel kinda guilty not being able to post every seven or ten days or so. No worries on not reviewing, just as long as you're happy and healthy! Love you too!

I simply cannot get enough of this story!!
Even though he's hurt & recovering, when he told Zane he loved him too...I really wanted to slap him in the back of his head! I feel bad for Tom having to hear that.
About the airport tower, does that tie into/with the tower card that Bill saw or keeps seeing? Weird thought I know but I'm curious.
Thank you for the update.
Author's Response: Gutentag, Jazmyne, thanks for reviewing! Wasn't that soooo rude of Bill? I mean, all Tom does is think of Bill, Bill could have at least tried to be a bit more thoughtful with Tom's feelings! RUDE. I love your interpretation of the airport tower!! With that kind of analytical mind, you should definitely give tarot cards a try! See you in the next chapter (hopefully next Monday, sorry it takes so long!)

GAH!! THEY KISSED!! FINALLY!!
Lol now that I got that out of the way, what a chapter this was! I find every single chapter is such a ride, and I wanna read more and more and more and at the end I'm left wanting more and gah this one was no exception.
I love that we got to hear how Tom (and Zane) were able to rescue Bill. How hard that must have been for both of them, to not just freak out on Sarah. Although, I'm sure she would have given any and all information to Tom if Zane wouldn't have kept yelling at her. I am glad the two of them were able to work together to find him, though.
I still don't trust Zane and I never will lol Buuut he was able to help capture Sarah so he's kind of okay in my books. I still don't want him and Bill to end up together, though. I mean, that's obvious, eh? I mean, you knew that from the beginning HAHA
I am so glad that Bill can see how much Tom truly cares for him. I can see why he wonders why he has loved him from the very first time they met, but I think there is some deep deep connection there, between them. Like when they both (or is my memory wrong and was it just Tom who dreamed about Billy in the Bayou) dreamed about Bill being in the Bayou; I feel like there is much more to their connection. And I love that Tom makes him feel all twirly inside lol
I seriously cannot wait for more. I feel like I ramble on and on in my reviews and I truly hope that I make sense lol
Until next time :D
Author's Response: Your review are PERFECT, Miss Maple Leaf! That kiss? FINALLY! Tom kind of surprised me there, though. I wasn't expecting him to just go for it like that. But I definitely see your point about the special connection, at least on Tom's part. Maybe not so much for Bill, but I think he could be blocking some of that. Maybe the magic will happen in the future. But for now, Bill's got the untrustworthy Zane, and he's pretty much still focused on that guy being his boyfriend. Now that Zane doesn't have anymore to hide, maybe things can get better between them. Wouldn't that be nice, TCG?? But then again, where's the friggin' magic?? We need magic!!!
Date: 05/16/17 08:17 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
I love this chapter! And yes, I love every chapter in this story. :) But this one is so special. Bill and Tom kissed!!! I hope Bill is not gonna freak out. It is a sticky situation. He still has a boyfriend after all...
It was breathtaking and sad to read Tom's story of Bill's rescue. I can feel Bill's pain from feeling Tom's pain. You are that masterful of a writer! You always amaze me! This story makes me feel all the time.
It seems that Bill has finally started admitting to himself that he belongs with Tom and that Tom is a truly remarkable man.
I feel a bit sorry for Zane. He does love Bill, just not with love that Bill needs and not enough to put Bill before everything and everyone like Tom does. Plus I think Zane is too messed up to be able to have healthy relationships. Not his fault of course, but still. Bill gave Zane so many chances and Zane blew them when it mattered the most. His priorities were not right.
I am glad that Bill's financial situation is not dire. Thanks Zane for that! On the other hand, Zane was responsible for landing Bill in the hospital in the first place.
It was so sweet when Tom brought Bill has favorite food. Everything Tom does is filled with so much love for Bill. I am so happy that Bill has finally let himself feel it!
Love this chapter!!!!!!! But as always cannot wait for more!
Author's Response: Hello, Ura_hd! What a wonderful review, thank you so much for always letting me know you're out there and that you're really enjoying the story, it's so, so appreciated! There's going to be a lot more happening in the future. Zane has to at least try to redeem himself, doesn't he? Maybe Bill should give him a chance...or a third, fourth...whichever number we're on... He did help with the hospital bills, right? But I agree with you about Tom - he really puts some serious thought into everything Bill. But Bill still isn't that romantically interested in Tom, and we can't always help our feelings. We'll just have to wait to see what happens!
Date: 05/16/17 12:09 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
Also, you are so talented. I'm just gonna go think about this for a couple weeks
Author's Response: Aw, you are just too wonderful! Thanks for the lurv
Date: 05/16/17 12:00 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
AAAAAHHHHHHHH
Author's Response: I KNOWWWWWWWWWW
Date: 05/16/17 10:39 am Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
That was very good. Bill feels safe only with Tom, maybe he might finally open his eyes.
Thanks, I look forward to the next one.
Author's Response: Hello, Nade, thanks for writing! I'm wondering if Bill is going to start to see that maybe Tom would be better for him than Zane. But then again, we've only seen the worst of Zane so far. Maybe he'll improve now that he doesn't have to hide part of his life? See you in the next chapter!
Date: 05/15/17 08:20 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
this was a really good chapter!!
i cant wait for the next chapter!!
i glad that it had more tom in it!
an i am happy they got sarah.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm working on the next chapter now! I'm glad there was more Tom, too (although I'm thinking Zane is going to feature heavily in the next chapter or two, sorry!). And yay, Sarah the wicked witch of the west has been caught!!
Date: 05/15/17 08:03 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
I need to see inside bills head next lol
Author's Response: Me too! Well, since I'm working on the next chapter, I guess I'm ahead of you on that one... (aHEAD of you...hahhahahahaha). You'll get the scoop in a couple weeks!
Date: 05/15/17 03:43 pm Title: Five a Wands - Just a bit a conflict
Finally! I was feeling so relieved when they kissed at last.... Bill should open his eyes and see what is the best for him, and Zane definitely isn't....Tom is amazing!
Author's Response: hello Zuzu! I have been waiting for that kiss for a loooong time. I'm just wondering what the fall out's going to be.... And we'll have to see if Zane has ANY redeeming qualities in the upcoming chapters. Maybe he'll end up being perfect for Bill? Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 05/02/17 03:04 am Title: The Moon Card 'n the secrets it hides
What the fuckkkkkk, how do you come up with this stuff. You always amaze me. Damn, that was brutal. Poor Billlllll! And Zane can fuck right off to intense therapy back in California. He's nothing but a hindrance, I swear. In that bayou, I thought for a bit that Tom was psychic or something, but then I suppose that bit was just Bill being unhinged. Hmmm. Would have explained some stuff though. Glad he's so persistent!!!!
Author's Response: I KNOW! And I don't know how I come up with this stuff...I'm sitting here right now working on the next chapter, waiting for Tom to tell Bill the story. It's just coming out a word at a time, but I can hardly wait to find out what happened!! Zane, well, I'm hoping he has a better side to him than he's shown so far, but if not, maybe he can fuck right off to Cali! Not sure if Bill was unhinged, or if Tom is psychic, or a little bit of both... And that boy, he's persistent alright! Almost a little scarily so, if you ask me. But then again, what do I know? I'm just the channel. Right? lol..... See you soon!
Date: 04/30/17 11:41 am Title: The Moon Card 'n the secrets it hides
this was a good chapter!
im glad they found bill!
i can not wait for the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Hello Jesse! Thank you! Me too! And I'm working on it now!
Date: 04/30/17 11:19 am Title: The Moon Card 'n the secrets it hides
What an excellent surprise seeing an update from you! I seriously was super excited to see that there was a new chapter and that I could see what was going to happen next!
Wow! I can't imagine being stuck in the bayou. I honestly felt like I was right there with Billy, seeing exactly what he was seeing and feeling how he was feeling. How scary for him!
I do believe that the dreams and visions that Billy was having does say something about his relationships, especially with Tom and Zane. He didn't have any vision of Zane, would that be because Zane wasn't looking for him at all? Or that Tom and Billy have such a much more deeper connection?
I KNEW TOM WOULD SAVE HIM! WOO HOO! :D Obviously by now you know I'm "team Tom" lol I was giving Zane the benefit of the doubt but he's just been proving me right too many times and Tom is just too sweet and obviously cares a great deal for Billy and he knew something was wrong right away. Thank goodness he did, too! I hope Billy realizes that Zane may not be the one for him. Who knows, maybe Tom isn't either but I definitely don't think Zane is, especially after this traumatizing experience.
This was such a great chapter. Every time I finish a chapter, I'm left wanting more lol I definitely cannot wait to read what you have in store for us next. :D
Author's Response: Wasn't that bayou scary as heck?? I'm so glad you were there with me! Pretty sharp of you to notice he didn't have any visions of Zane. Shall we go with "they're so close, he didn't need one?" Hmm? No? Well, there's still time to see what happens between the two of them. I'm thinking maybe Zane was so stressed/freaked out that he didn't have the ability to psychically connect to Bill. Or maybe you're right, and Bill and Tom have a deeper connection. Because TOM FOUND HIM! (never would have guessed you were "team Tom," TOMSCANADIANGIRL. Nope, never. But I'm glad to hear you were at least trying to give Zane the benefit of the doubt - that's very fair of you. I'm thinking his approval rating, never high from the start, is rapidly sinking (or am I watching too much CNN...?). I'm thrilled to know you enjoyed this chapter and I'm hoping to get the next one out to you in a more timely manner, I swear! No upcoming vacations! See you in a couple of weeks!

Can't believe Bill is so petty. Petty af to still be hooked up on Toms hair. Is that really his reason :/ Tom's is sexy af with his hair.
Author's Response: Hello, Miss Anna! So Bill's getting on your nerves a bit with his hang-up on the man bun? If you don't like man buns, it might be something that's hard to get over. But you never know, maybe Bill will stop being so persnickety one day...or maybe he and Zane will live happily ever after?
Date: 04/30/17 04:56 am Title: The Moon Card 'n the secrets it hides
It was nerve-wracking. I was really worried about the worst things. But I also believed it would be Tom who would find him. Zane is irritating me, he is constantly lying. Everything's so bad around him, so why does not Bill see it? But somewhere in the heart he feels that Tom is the right one. Yeah, he has a man-bun, and what? :-D
I would like to see how the rescue proceeded.
Thanks for that, I look forward to the next one.
Author's Response: Hello Nade! Wasn't that just AWFUL!? Poor Bill, ghosts and snakes and bugs...yuck! But now he's back and safe. I'm sure we'll find out more about his rescue in the next chapter, I'm dying to know myself! I'm hoping Zane makes up for his rotten attitude. I mean, he's really being a jerk! With Tom hanging out nearby like a vulture, it's time for Zane to man up! Or maybe we really want him to keep being a jerk.... You're right about the man bun, I mean, what's the biggie? But I can see Bill's pov too... All that long hair... Guess we'll see what happens! Thanks so much for the review!
Date: 04/30/17 03:28 am Title: The Moon Card 'n the secrets it hides
This was tense! You are so talented. I could almost see and feel what Bill went through in the bayou.
Zane is a jerk. I cannot believe he is stressing out Bill with his jealousy in Bill's condition! Zane is so selfish and self-centered.
I hope Bill will reconsider now his "love" for Zane. It should be clear to Bill at this point that Zane is just wrong for him.
I cannot believe it Zane did not even call the police when very sick Bill disappeared...
Tom is sunshine. He is my hero now. And he should be Bill's hero as well. I hope Bill will look at Tom with new eyes now.
Great chapter! Cannot wait for more!
Author's Response: Hello, ura! I'm so thrilled to know that you were transported right into that haunted bayou. That was pretty harrowing, huh? I know Zane seems like a total jerk, but he's going through a lot, too! Right? Umm anyway...let's give him a chapter or three, see if he makes up for past mistakes. I know Tom seems so wonderful and perfect, but maybe perfect isn't really THAT great...right?? Umm anyway ..see you next chapter!
