I've read plenty of long stories that didn't produce the depth of breathless emotion I felt reading this short one. To think I almost didn't because I thought it was about mere voyeurism. I even kind of like Bushido here. ;-) Loved it, it's a new favourite.
Author's Response: That's an incredible compliment. Thank you so much!

i was re-reading this and it occured to me: did you write the twins going to Bushido as a surrogate because Bushido was gay? He seemed to be teaching Tom what to do...
Author's Response: That's a good question and would be something of a loophole. I think I was just going for the twins believing Bushido was a man of the world and would just know something like that, considering he's quite a few years older than they. :)

I know this was supposed to be smut and all. But as sexy as it was, I found it also very emotional. I love the title, to start with. The need and love that Bill and Tom feel for each other can be felt miles away. And Anis, oh Anis, I really liked the way your wrote him out. I completely fell for him, the moment he invited Tom to come over and take his place. That was just over the top.
I felt so bad for Anis in the end. But was totally able to feel his redemption and an incredible character progression in such a short story.
I think the twins made such a great choice as to who was supposed to help them do this.
Anyway, I really, really enjoyed it! It was absolutely lovely. Thanks!
Author's Response: Wow, this is an amazing review. I'm glad you saw all that in the story and that it affected you so much. This was so great to hear. Thank you! :D

Oh my Goodness you HAVE to write more Bushido! Oh dear, that sounded a little rude .__. I'll say instead, wow that was so incredibly amazing and your Bushido was awesome *___* And to see more Bushido involved in your writing would be wonderful! I loved his characterisation, and I loved the twins' too. I really do adore your writing, probably a litle too much, but it's always nice to have favourites that I can return to again and again. You're one of the authors that pushed me into pairings other than the twins, so thanks for that ^___^
Oh this was gorgeous, really really! The ending had me melting just a tiny bit. Or rather a lot xD Oh twins, perfect. I LOVED this!
Author's Response: LOL! Nah, I didn't take it in a rude way at all. No worries. I would love to write more Bushido, but my muse for him is off backpacking across Europe or something and the brat hasn't even written. xD And I'm thrilled that my stories prompted you to start reading other pairings besides just the twins! I like to write different things and challenge myself and it's great when there are people who like to read different things, as well. Thank you so, so much. ♥

What a terrific Bushido portrayal. I loved this story such much!
I have read all the reviews people left on this one and I realized how differently we all can view fictional characters, or rather how we wish them to be like. I have no deeper understanding and knowledge about Bushido as a person and can´t therefore judge if he was so OOC as some pointed out to you but I firmly believe that a fictional story should be crafted as it´s author envisioned it and I personally found this oneshot brilliant. You made it work!I have read quite few Bushido/Billshido stories but only " The Space Between" by Bleepbloopbanana and this one left such a strong impression on me.
What I liked in this story so much was Bushido´s maturity and definition of his age as apposed to twins´youthfulness. That was actually the biggest appeal for me in this fic. You made him actually act his age. I guess I reason like this because of my own life experience and my own age and I really liked how you defined him to be, to act, to reason, to desire, to want something sooooo much, BUT also to reconsider, to be "responsible", to sacrify his own needs in favor of the others´ gain (as any mature person should, imo, be it a fic or not)....I actually found it way more sexy and alluring then him acting out purely on his impulses.
You expressed quite beautifuly how the realization of him being just a substitute dawned on him and the way he reacted accordingly. Honestly, could it lead to anything else then the ending you chose? Of course it could but it would be really disturbing and unsettling if it did.
I enjoyed the initial tension and uncertainty of the whole situation for all characters involved. Tom was pictured really, really well.
I also loved how Bill´s character was "tamed and subdued" in this fic. His character is usually so overwhelmingly strong and dominating in its intensity in all the fiction, it was really great that the center stage was taken by Tom and Bushido in this oneshot. Bill was undeniably a centerpiece of this story that both Tom´s and Bushido´s desires revolved around but you somehow toned him down and it was quite refreshing to read like that.
What I find really intriguing is that you wrote this fic first and then "Working for tips". It is almost as if you have been going backwards in time with the twins and their restrictions on expressing their true feelings towards each other in sexual way.
Once again, great story, great vision, great work!
Author's Response: Your reviews just leave me speechless. I'm so incredibly flattered that you see all that in this story. Because you thought about it. You read the story and sat back and thought about it, which sounds like something really simple, but when I think about how many times a story has made me do that, I have to admit, it's not terribly many. Just knowing that something I've written here has given you pause enough to do that, well, that's just incredible to me. Thank you.
I completely agree, regarding whether or not Bushido was OOC. I know more about him now then I did when I wrote this, and there are things that are OOC, the biggest thing being that he is Muslim and doesn't drink. No Scotch for him. But I think he really is a kind man, despite things he's said or his reputation, and when I saw this in my head, I thought, yeah, this could happen. In my world. In this world, and that's what matters, right? I'm glad that's where you are, too. And that said, I am all the more pleased that you enjoyed his characterization here!
I love writing Tom, whether from his pov or watching him fidget from someone else's pov. He's just got so much there to work with.
I had some insecurities about how Bill was written here. I was worried readers would think I, and by proxy, Tom and Bushido, treated him more as an object. In my eyes, he allowed them to treasure him here, and he didn't need control for that. Especially because I had been nervous about this, I very much appreciate hearing your take on Bill in this story. Thank you!
I had feared I was repeating myself in "Working for Tips"! I thought sure that someone was going to call me on it, but it was completely different, in my mind. Bushido is the catalyst. He's meant to be the surrogate, but he ends up the catalyst, whereas Georg in WFT is the buffer and the conduit, all at once. I was glad to be able to address the twins' relationship in a different way, though. Both this story and WFT were fun (and challenging) to write.
Honestly, you make my day every time you review. Thank you so much for taking the time to give me all these thoughts. I can't even express clearly how much it means, but just thank you.

“Why not one of those other two" >.> I hate you for that Bu, never think I'll forget about it!
Unless maybe he reads this fic and decides to put things into action, then blog extensively about it
You only wanted to be inside Bill-ahem, or vice versa.
I hate that Bu's just a tool, but damn is he a good tool to be used in such situations. loved it!
Author's Response: LOL Sorry! I think I've heard him call the Gs before, "those other guys" but I could be wrong. And I don't think he minded being used so much, once he figured out what it was for. He could be noble this time, yeah? This story is really special to me and I'm really glad you read it. Thank you. <3

So, I realized that while looking through your fics, I had actually read this before, but never reviewed, so I sat down and reread it, intent on leaving a proper review.
So here it is.
Now, I think you know all about my love for Bushido, and how I think hes a sweet, albeit geeky rapper underneath his image...much like Tom. I loved the way you portrayed him. It was like reading the Bushido that lives in my head, the one I've only managed to let loose in one fic (and he's not even a main character there -.-) because my fear that people will say that he's too OOC or smt.
He's sweet and caring, and gets what's happening in that room, between him and the twins, and between the twins in general, and he knows what he has to do.
I rather enjoyed that he didn't stick around in the end, even if my heart panged a bit, because I realized around the same time as he did that the twins NEEDED that.
Gah, woman, you always manage to pull at my heart strings and yet, I love that about you, because there are very few authors (on this site and in general) that can make me feel so much in a couple thousand words.
SO yea, I'm babbling now, but as usual, I thank you for writing this ^_^
Author's Response: Well, I love this proper review, then! lol I think that way about Bushido, too, and I'm really glad to the portrayal matched the Bushido in your head. I imagine it was quite difficult for him to leave the room, but as you say, he realized the twins needed that, and since he'd been the conduit and brought the connection together, he wasn't really needed anymore. Sad but true.
Aw, thank you! That really made me smile. Thank you for reading it and for sharing a few lovely words with me! <333

Amazing. But poor Bushido, he wanted that so bad and now all he gets to do is jerk off.
Author's Response: But what a visual and memory to jerk off to, yes? He did something noble, so I don't think he'll mind too much. I'm glad you liked it! Thank you! :D

This is unbelievably hot. You have absolutely NO idea. It's incomprehensible.

that. was. amazing. beautiful, and sinfully sexy, and just everything you can ask for in a smutty story... loved it. 10 stars out of five for me
Author's Response: Ten out of five? That's pretty high praise! I'm glad you liked it so much! Thank you so much. :D

omg. omgomgomg........ you ended it there? Is there a sequel? lol I LOVED THIS!!! *needs cold shower*
Author's Response: *giggle* I did. Naughty, huh? :p I'm thrilled you loved it, especially considering you aren't a fan of Billshido. That's a huge compliment, thank you! <333

I have no idea, why I was reading this fic, because usually I never read any Bushido-fics (ok, I'm very picky, I admit it). But I did anyway...
And I'm glad that I did! This was great! So freakin' hot that my laptop melted, but yet again sweet and gentle. It weasn't just extremely hot porn, but let us see emotions behind lust. I liked very much the way you slowly pulled twins together with a little help of Bushido. This wasn't about Bushido at all, this was about love between twins. Twin-thing here was so heartwhelming. Bushido was ok here, but I have to say, that I found him little bit.. hmm.. maybe too helpful and nice after all? Maybe little bit too OOC for my taste?
I found many very erotic little things here and I like details, so it was nice to read about licking (Tom licking Bill's ass is about one of the hottest things on earth *blush*), sucking fingers etc.
If it would have been fic, where Tom was only watching, it would have been ok too, but you brought it to the next level here. And it wasn't just something easy to do, but scary for them and yet all that they wanted. If PWP can be emotional and touching, I guess, this is one of those fics :).
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it, especially if you're not particularly fond of him.
I heard from one other person they thought Busido was OOC, but I keeping thinking that he is a big softie. Of course I don't know that, but I like to think of him as being more kind and more patient than the image he projects.
Thank you so much for telling me the bits you found erotic. When you're writing it, sometimes it's hard to tell what works and what doesn't.rnrnThanky you again!

Shiit... THAT WAS SO FUCKING HOT! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY WRITE MORE STORIES LIKE THIS DUDE.
Author's Response: haha! Thank you! :D
