I've mentioned this on other reviews: I came into the TH / THF fandom in Jan’22. The vast majority of fics I've read are quite old and I'm sure the authors have moved on (and probably wont even see new reviews), BUT I figure why not leave one anyway… I enjoyed this fic and wanted to say thank you for writing and sharing it!

This is such a beautiful story. Fadiyah was such a strong person to do that. I cried for her. Seriously. PEOPLE SHOULD LEAVE MORE REVEIWS FOR THIS AMAZING PIECE OF FICTION!!!!

Oh.. I'm really impressed! You certainly created a new world here... I understand why you keep this as your treasure, because this hasn't been written without effports. The fact that this is based on a real myth gives here an extra tone. Very sweet, beautiful and inspiring fic. I rarely read fics with this kind of alternative universe, but I'm happy you mentioned this.
You fitted nicely twins to the myth and the end (even if it was alterative if compared to the original) was touching. Maybe it was so touching, because the original one ended differently and what comes to the relationship with the twins I want always them to be happy.
Beautiful myth, fairytale. Even if you didn't get so much reviews, I think you made it well. Don't worry about that :). And I appriciate the efforts you've put in here to actually follow the original plotlone and out about certain historical and cultural things.
A nice bedtime story .). I like the idea that twins lived happily ever after and got their chances to see the north! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this lovely review. This is also my baby because the legend was one of the first things I heard of Spain, while I still lived in Ireland, and it was from my nan's lips. I was still a kid, at that age where the world still seems enormous and dark outside your hometown. Hearing such a legend of star-crossed lovers and dark-skinned foreigners who lived in big palaces, and a really beautiful princess that drove men to death...it was like a fairytale. rnrnI know the ending was alternative, and I wanted to keep the original ending, that's why I implied in one of the last chapters that they were going to jump, then in the fake epilogue tell the rest of the legend. rnrnSome asked me about making a sequel about this one. Now, I'm not so sure about it, I think this story is ok on its own, but if I ever did...wouldn't it be a nice sequel the journey of Bill and Tom from the mediterranean lands towards the north, and the way they'd find a place to be safe, since homosexual love is not accepted in that time (we're talking about when muslim people still dominated the most of spain, somewhere in between 900 and 1100 a.C.)

This was a gorgeous story all the way through. Taking a legand and making it your own story is amazingly hard because you have to adhere to the original yet turn it into another original work of art. I congraulate your work on this.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I feel quite honored that people feel this way about this story. Right now, this review made my day.

I found your story through the "Random Story" feature and wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading it. =) Very inventive re-telling of the legend.
Author's Response: Thanks, really. Never used the Random Story thing, I should give it a try someday. Glad that you liked the story.

I really liked this story. I can't believe that Fadiyah sacrificed herself for bill. Her love most have really ran deep. I don't think I could do it. Good job btw
Author's Response: Thanks. She did it because she couldn't think of a life without Bill, and that was what awaited her, anyway. Also, take in consideration that they are Islamic, their beliefs are different. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

okay let me think :D
thinking...
thinking... GOT IT ...
they could travel through like main cites in differnt contines like
berlin
new your
chicago
tokyo
london
so on so forth ( im listening to a god song so im listeningg to them list off places)
and well they could get judged and badly attacked and shit you know.. so they have to learn to fend for themselc... because they didnt really take anything that would help them...
then they meet an older couple. who take them in like there own children, gives them a life and food and warmth and everything.. but sadly it comes a time when the couple has to pass on.. but they leave everything to billa and tomi.. but people in that area belives there brothers not lovers.. so people see it as wrong.. that they live together and want to get them out of that city... and perhaps one of them gets injured... and that maid ( i cant spell names so youl have to deal with my smaller words) feels the pain.. and asks premition from the wife ( bills mom) to go help them??? that way you still have some of the old people in it
Author's Response: Waaaay long review. Yep, something can be saved from all that stuff. I will sleep on it later.
Date: 08/01/09 06:46 pm Title: Prologue
haha its okay il talk on here, and you said.. when two lovers die they get re born as twins... well. perhaps.. they cant live forever.. so thery must die in the end... so you could write a sequal as the lovers being reborn after like 1000 years, and that wayBAMN you have your re incarnated twins.. and you could write the prologu as al the info on it beeing studdied and that like many years after the ledgend of the two lovers.. scientests started to think about the possiblety of them being reborn.. as twins.. so they study it.. and they look for the two lovers.. in twins.. wich would then give you a plot too.. because all these scientests are looking for twins.... but the REAL twins / lover/ bill and tom.. where sepoerater
Author's Response: LOL...uh..I kinda wanted to make that story as a story on its own. If I ever did a sequel on this, it would be the "how they got to the northern lands and how did they manage to find a place where they weren't judged for being gay" sequel. Feel free to offer ideas in that plotline.
Date: 08/01/09 06:41 pm Title: Prologue
buts i had an idea forrr you that would tie it into a certain idea you had earlier
Author's Response: What idea? and YES, the more I keep you talking, the more reviews I get (unless you decide to tell me on msn)!...sad, I know.
Date: 08/01/09 06:35 pm Title: The end
whhaooouutttt i love it.. they can be together forever now!! :S sequal? yes :D
Author's Response: Nah, I don't think there will be a sequel for this one. They did reach the north and live happily ever after, though, as you may notice in the fake epilogue from the words of the dude who hired Rachel.
Date: 08/01/09 06:30 pm Title: The end
Awww such a good ending :)
Author's Response: Hopefully it made up for the long wait. Thanks for reading.
Date: 06/22/09 03:44 pm Title: Fake epilogue
ahhh omg this is so good, I should be studying for exams but I had to finish this! You need to continue I wanna know what happens!!! :):):):)
Author's Response: Aww, nope, you study, this will be here forever. And yep, I need to continue. I will have it up probably this weekend, but no promises made, because I know me, and I tend to procrastinate a lot. But thanks for the lovely review.
Date: 06/22/09 01:48 pm Title: Fake epilogue

Author's Response: YAY! Naked twins, a toothless Tom and sperms! Awesomeness! Of course you sound cool, you are cool. Glad you liked it. You're reviewer number 40, btw. So chocolate lindt bunny for you!
Date: 06/22/09 01:41 pm Title: Fake epilogue
I have a feeling they didn't jump. You have to update! I do like this story.
Author's Response: Well, I have a feeling they...being Tom and Bill, didn't jump, too. But we will all have to wait for next chapter (which will be last, probably, and then an epilogue. Thanks for reviewing, it really means a lot to me.
Date: 06/17/09 12:56 pm Title: 11 - The beginning of the end

Author's Response: I am glad you like it. Don't be worried, because this, as I said, is not a sad story...not completely at least.
Date: 06/04/09 12:40 pm Title: Prologue
yes we should. perhaps another bill and tom one -looks hopeful- either that or the G's.. i still think they are secretly together, and planing on taking over the world with chocolate lindt bunnies
Author's Response: Why not both? I think I need to see more pictures of the G's and analize them this tad bit more, because if you're so sure...Chocolate lindt bunnies...man I want one.
