Okay, I just read the entire chapter again. (I cannot help it, Bushido is just too... too... you know! You're the one that wrote him!!) and I wanted to try a fangirl review, just to see what it feels like. Okay, ready? Set? Go!
OMGWTFBBQ BARNEY IN A SPEEDO, I LOVE BUSHIDO IN THIS FIC!! Eeeeeek he's so sexy and handsome and gentlemanly! When compared to Tom anyway. Speaking of Tom, I really didn't get that vibe from the last chap-- NO. No. I'm going to be a fangirl, damnit.
And the sex was smokin'! And I want more so you need to update! With more sex! Except more relationship development too because I think Bill has been a little lac-- NO, ELLA. Stop it! D:
I, I just can't do it. I want to be fangirly about this fic, I really do! It's like the perfect fic for me to be fangirly about and I DO squeal while I read it so why shouldn't I express that in my reviews, huh?! ...arghhh.
Right, this review had no point, other than testing out the waters. ...I drowned, in case you didn't catch that. Feel free to delete/laugh at. *slinks away*
Embarrassedly yours,
Ella

I knew I was going to love Bushido in this fic. I swear, the first line he had, "I am Bushido." my eyes turned into little hearts and I cooed. Out loud. At the computer. D:
But I was going to start from the top and I will not let Bushido's sexiness distract me, damnit. So, first, Andreas. Totally wasn't expecting him and while the sex was hot as per usual, I mostly just felt sad for Bill because at this point I don't see him having any sort of rewarding relationship that doesn't involve sex. And while I don't think Andreas is *using* him persay, it was upsetting that despite their being best friends, they're trading sex too.
I think Bill's got a lot more issues than he lets on and while maybe some part of him is happy with the lifestyle he currently has going, some of his thoughts being almost *too* casual about the whole thing make me think he really wishes for something more. *cough*Bushido*cough* It really was pretty expertly written though; on the surface he genuinely seems happy with the business arrangements he has to deal with, especially with lines like, "Old men were fun." That makes it sound like its a grand ol' game to him, but there are nuances in the writing that suggest otherwise.
Also, Tom is his pimp. T___T That just hit me this chapter (so I'm a bit slow on the uptake, gimme a break) and I mourned. ...for about a minute. I think Bill's a little bit in love with him and that makes me sad, but I think it's a big rift between them, this business thing, or could grow to be if they did land in a relationship so I'm definitely on the Bushido side of things now and! speaking of Bushido, he calls for a whole another paragraph. DD:
Guh. I lose coherency when thinking about that man, but I'll try to suck it up and form actual, you know, sentences. I thought the part where their eyes met and Bill thought he didn't like his unpredictability was the most romantic scene in the story so far. You didn't even drag on and on about it like most authors seem to do about the first meeting - you know, the flowery language, the "I could see his soul in his eyes" (which never fails to piss me off because really if anything, it resides in the eyebrows, which make up 40% of all facial expressions. grr) but, um, yeah, you didn't have any of that thank god, but it's the little things that managed to make it so sweet, like how Bill couldn't force himself to meet his eyes again.
I wibbled a bit throughout their conversation, because I thought the dialogue was done magnificently. I actually wanted to smack Tom around a bit for intruding into my Billshido time, and that's um, that's never happened before. *is guilty*
I thought the sudden mention of Bill being there for sex was a little abrupt though, I would have thought Tom would phrase it a little more... delicately. Subtly? Instead of just coming out and shoving Bill in his face. So that kind of threw me off, though! Bill saying "no small animals" made me wonder if Bushido would ask about large animals, hehe. Ahem.
And I'm insanely glad they're not going to have sex just yet. Actually, I think I might just be insane in general because who doesn't want that? But I'm really looking forward to dancing and the subtle wooing Bushido's already started doing. Gaaaaaah. *melts*
K, Ella out for now. Update soon but not too soon because my fingers are about to BLEED. Also, if if my babbling got out of hand and you didn't get a word of what I was trying to say just know I loved the chapter. By, like, a lot.

Author's Response: Lol, we told you, we love long reviews, so feel free to ramble, but some things need to be addressed. I'll take them in the order they were mentioned.
You're right about Bill having a lot more issues than he lets on and not too many relationships that don't involve sex or haven't at some point. Every one just thinks he's funny and they aren't stopping to ask themselves why he does what he does in the first place.
Secondly, Tom is NOT Bill's pimp, anymore than Michael was in chapter two, lol. Often times, regular customers will recommend others, or pay Bill to do them favors. Bill is a control freak and likes to keep all of his money; he wouldn't tolerate a pimp.
As for Bushido, we're not the types for flowery language or purple prose. Just eloquence. When you meet someone, you're not focused on their features, you're focused on the reaction you have to them in your gut- that's what makes a first impression. Glad you enjoyed it. As far as Tom, he just wasn't mincing words. He wanted Bushido to know what he was offering. I think you'll love the way Bill and Bushido relate even more in the next chapter.
I wish we had thought to have him ask about small animals... damn.
Great review, thanks! Made our night. :)

u're making a perfect team ,i adore your fics
Date: 07/19/08 02:43 pm Title: "Hello, Gorgeous."
I have a feeling I'm really going to love Bushido in this fic. :D Not that I don't love him in every fic, but this one seems to be more geared towards Billshido than Tom/Bill... I could be wrong of course, but I'll be looking forward to it either way.
The interaction between Bill and Tom was vague and mysterious-like, so I haven't really gotten a foothold on it yet. It's amusing to see Bill's reactions to each client, and I'm actually enjoying that part more than I thought I would. Not so much for the sex (though that is admittedly hot) but just for seeing things through Bill's perspective.
Apologies for the rambling, but I'm looking forward to the next as always. ;)
Much love,
Ella
Author's Response: Dude, we love ramblings; long reviews are our favorites. Ramble away. ;)

Ooh! This is getting very interesting! I can't wait to read more!
Date: 07/19/08 11:39 am Title: "Hello, Gorgeous."
Bill as a prostitute? How interesting ;) I like it! I like how he doesn't have the emotional baggage, and that he actually likes what he does. The smut is pretty intense, which is impressive considering how much of it there is! Though my favorite sex scene so far was probably the one with Tom x)
Author's Response: Oh, let's not assume Bill is baggageless quite yet, shall we?
