Oh yeah, you mentioned you were going to ZMF! I’ve never been myself but I’ve heard that the location is supposed to be beautiful. I hope you have lots of fun there and enjoy seeing the boys! Delays in updating will be forgiven (as an exception haha). Have a wonderful time!
Author's Response: Thank you! I had the most wonderful time - the boys were SO sweet and I got to chat to Bill again. Always fun to hang out with them!

Also, don’t feel sorry, it didn’t feel like a filler chapter to me. And even if it was, those are important as well. I just love whenever you update, no matter if it’s a filler chapter or not :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I really do try! Haha! Also, I landed in Germany this morning ready for ZMF tomorrow so I’m just letting you know some updates may have delays whilst I’m here, but I’m trying haha.

I really hope Bill will get some peace at Tom‘s place, where he doesn’t have to fear that Steffen will find him. I am curious though for what they will do, they can’t hide forever I suppose. I hope that Tom and Bill will get even closer and that Bill will feel really safe with Tom. You hid those Easter eggs well, haha. I didn’t catch any of them and I really can’t wait what is going on with Tom. I do remember that he got this paycheck in the mail, though, the one that had his pay rise in it (still wondering what that was about). So does he maybe have two addresses? I can’t wait for more, love this so much!
Author's Response: Hopefully now he is at Tom's house he will actually be able to relax and recover now he has that safety.

Your eggs have acquired an invisibility cloak. haha I noticed some, but not clearly. I'm really looking forward to the sequel!
Author's Response: Sequel? This one isn’t finished yet? Haha. There weren’t many about Tom, but a couple haha. I was sneaky.
Date: 07/18/24 02:45 am Title: Thirty Eight.
Then I probably didn't realize it were hints, oops😳
And I'm glad Bill is going to a safe home now, he deserves some rest😊
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Haha there were very subtle hints to be fair.
Date: 07/13/24 04:34 pm Title: Thirty Seven.
I‘m glad that Bill does not have any serious physical injuries but it I think mentally there is such a long road ahead of him, it won’t be easy. At least he has Tom by his side now, I guess he will play a major part in his recovery and I’m glad he is gonna bring him to his home. I’m really curious though why Tom would hand in a false address so you need to update soon haha. I just hope that Bill really will be safe from Steffen at Tom‘s place, although I doubt that Steffen will let Bill go just like that. I can’t wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yeah absolutely, I think the mental scars are a lot worse than the physical ones but you are right, at least he isn't alone now.
Date: 07/11/24 03:27 am Title: Thirty Seven.
Awh poor Bill :( But I'm glad he doesn't have anything too bad.
Wow, that's a plottwist, I wonder why the office doesn't have Tom's real address.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Thank you for your review and always being so lovely.
Date: 07/07/24 04:50 pm Title: Thirty Six.
It‘s a good thing that Tom decides to go to the hospital with Bill. That asshole Steffen must have been hurting him for a very long time and who knows what injuries he might have that are not visible on the outside. I am so glad that Tom is there for Bill, he needs someone so kind in his life, who will give him back some happiness. Of course you stopped before getting results and threw in another cliffhanger, I haven’t expected anything else haha. I can’t wait to find out what will happen next. Again, please don’t let me wait too long!
Author's Response: Yeah, I definitely doubt think this abuse is a new thing. You know i love my cliff hangers! haha. Speaking of which... i haven't done one in a while and have behaved? That might need to change.
Date: 07/06/24 12:07 pm Title: One.
Oh nooooo…You stopped at the test results. Don't be anything serious. Aaaa
Author's Response: Hahah! Thank you
Date: 07/06/24 02:23 am Title: Thirty Six.
Awh, It was a good choice to take Bill to the hospital with the injuries he has. I hope the results will be okay, but I can't wait to find out.
Great chapter :)
Author's Response: Absolutely was the right choice i think!
Date: 07/03/24 03:50 pm Title: Thirty Five.
I really don’t know how to survive the time until the next chapter haha, I am so excited. I’m glad Tom got Bill out of there, the whole time I was afraid that Steffen will appear and prevent them from escaping. Bill is so scared and it breaks my heart, I hope that he can learn to fully trust Tom soon, Tom is probably the best thing that has happened to him in a long time. I wonder if they will go to Tom’s place or somewhere else, surely Steffen can quickly find out where Tom lives. Ah, I can’t wait! I need more haha. Don’t worry though, like I said I love that you update so regularly. And I would love to read the new story and I can’t wait for you to start Zero again, I have missed it!
Author's Response: Hahaha, well you don’t have to wait too long! I should have the next update up tonight for you if all goes to plan! I was toying with the idea of Steffen catching them to be honest, but I thought Bill deserved a little bit of a break! Who knows what Steffen is capable of! Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate tou! And I know, I really miss Zero too and I keep meaning to see where that goes again, I definitely haven’t forgotten about it.
Date: 07/03/24 01:59 am Title: Thirty Five.
Awh, I was so nervous the whole time while they were trying to escape. I'm glad they made it to the car.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Date: 06/28/24 05:03 pm Title: Thirty Four.
Oh and by the way, I forgot to answer last time - you should definitely continue with that story you mentioned. I would love to read it, you know huch much I love drama!
Author's Response: Haha I keep thinking about continuing it! I also keep meaning to restart ‘zero’ too!
Date: 06/28/24 05:01 pm Title: Thirty Four.
Heartbreaking. Bill does not deserve this life Steffen is giving him. He deserves love and kindness, he deserves someone like Tom who doesn’t hurt him. I can understand why Bill is afraid at first but Tom obviously won’t do anything to hurt him. In a way I am glad that Tom finally knows what’s going on even though he doesn’t know the whole story. But now he can try and save Bill from this monster that is Steffen. It‘s so hard to wait for the next chapter, I love this so much. Sometimes I read chapters several times until I get to read a new one haha. Please don’t let me wait too long :) I know you won’t though, I love that you’re so consistent with your updates. I just really can’t wait to find out what will happen next.
Author's Response: He absolutely does deserve love and kindness and I don’t think he has had much of that in his life so far. Absolutely, it’s a good thing that Tom knows and hopefully now it will mean Bill will start to get the help he needs. Awh really? That honestly means a lot that you keep reading chapters! I’m so sorry for the delays recently, work has completely sucke, but I really do appreciate you sticking around. I will try and get an update uploaded very sooon! Sorry again for the delay!
Date: 06/28/24 02:49 am Title: Thirty Four.
Does Steffen honestly think that Tom will think that negative about Bill after seeing him like this? Steffen can't be more wrong.
And Bill doesn't have anything to worry about, Tom doesn't want to play, he cares to much about Bill to do that.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! And who knows, Steffen has such a twisted way of thinking.
Date: 06/26/24 03:24 pm Title: Thirty Three.
I had a feeling Bill would be the prize but it still shocked me. What kind of human being can do something so horrible? Steffen is such an asshole and all the managers who are participating in this game night are no better. I think Steffen let Tom win on purpose. I really want to know what will happen now. Obviously Tom won’t hurt Bill in any way but how will he get him out of there. Or will they pretend just to get through the night and then make rescue plans afterwards? I am so excited how everything will turn out. Love it and hope you will continue soon!
Author's Response: I honestly can’t wait for the whole thing to be revealed, it will explain so much! Like I said, I’ve left so many Easter eggs and clues throughout that once everything comes out it will all make sense and you’ll know why certain things happened or why people did certain things! No, Tom will absolutely not hurt Bill, but who knows how it’s gonna turn out! Thank you so, so much for the love. Next update should either be tonight or tomorrow night!
Date: 06/25/24 02:53 am Title: Thirty Three.
Awh, it feels like Steffen let Tom win. I still wonder what Steffen's plan really is with Steffen showing Bill like this. It must hurt Tom so much, and Bill of course too.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Everything will be revealed eventually, I promise!
Date: 06/23/24 11:22 am Title: Thirty Two.
I love this story. It is tragic in its own way, but I trust that what we are waiting for will happen. He sets her free, shows her what true love looks like. I'd like this. Only in that slow, gentle, fragile form. As things build up.
I would be interested in a story where Tom is not gay. But she falls completely in love with Bill and things change. There was a story and I was completely blown away. Story title: In Denial
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! Everything will be explained, I promise! Oh, that story could be interesting, I will definitely have a think for you! I think I’ve read that story before.
Date: 06/21/24 04:14 pm Title: Thirty Two.
My heart breaks for Bill, again. He does not deserve this life, with Steffen in it and everything that hurts him. I hope he is OK (well, as OK as one can be after that). I am so so so excited for the game night, I can’t wait to read what this is all about! You say you can’t wait to share it.. so don‘t wait I suggest, and share it now haha.
Well, I think you know how much I love this story and I mean that honestly, it is my favorite story of all time, I truly adore it. Well, the chapters are too short for my liking and don’t get me started with the cliffhangers haha, but other than that I love everything about it. I love your writing style, too.
I don’t really know what I would like to see for future stories, honestly. I think you have better ideas than I will ever have. I do love the drama though. Not gonna lie, I like hospital scenes and other dramas. I don’t like when one of our loved ones die, though. Also - and I know that sounds kinda horrible - I like when the drama revolves around Bill rather than Tom, don’t really know why. I guess it’s because I always see Tom as the strong one. I‘m gonna think about what I would like to read though. But really, I will read anything from you, I love your stories so so much!
Author's Response: I know, when the whole backstory is revealed…. God I can’t wait, the whole backstory has been mapped out for so long and all the little Easter eggs I’ve been dropping will make sense and it will all click into place. It will explain so much and why he is in the situation and how he got into it. I’m so glad you love it, honestly, it makes my heart so happy someone loves my baby. I love drama too - I did start another fic a while ago, which is full of very intense drama, so much more than this story, that I’m thinking about continuing. I know what you mean, my preference is something happening to Bill too, it just doesn’t feel right when Tom isn’t the strong one.
Date: 06/21/24 03:48 pm Title: Thirty One.
I wanted to scream „Don’t go home, Bill! Just stay with Tom“ so badly while reading this. I am so scared what will happen when Bill comes home, knowing that Steffen saw that Bill didn’t go to work. However, I also can unterstand Tom. Bill is a grown-up and Tom can‘t just make decisions for him. I can imagine that it is so hard for Tom not to step in though, as he knows something is wrong. I think Georg is right, Tom really likes Bill, and I hope their bond will grow further. Love it!
Author's Response: Yeah absolutely, the key is Bill is an adult and Tom has to respect that, he doesn’t have to agree with Bill’s choices but he can’t stop him.
