I've just read the whole story and all I can say is... please, PLEASE, update soon! lol
It's really amazing; Bill is so sweet and fragile...
I have to read more! :)
Author's Response: Aw, thank you! It means a lot that you describe Bill as fragile. I view him that way in RL, like he has this kind of delicateness beneath his diva-ness, you know? So glad you enjoyed - I'll try and update quickly :)

My god, you are so forgiven!!! I had totally expected the face slapping scene, but the rest of it just blew me away, as usual. Bushido is making me feel all kinds of wonderful. I love how agressive, but not, he is. He has Bill wrapped around his finger, Bill just doesn't know it yet. And if there's nothing but improvement on the way, bring it on girl.
Author's Response: Yay! I'm so glad that even though the face slap was expected (I mean, how else was poor Bill supposed to react?) that the rest wasn't entirely what you thought would happen. Thank you so much for all your wonderful feedback!

I loved this! Don't ever give up writing, your writing is amazing. I know what it's like losing all your data - my first laptop crashed a couple years ago with absolutely everything I had on it. It's awful. Not only is your stuff gone, you feel sort of bereaved in a weird way... whatever. I know you will come back from this better than ever! Please keep the story going, it's great. Loved the comment about Bushido actually making Bill cry being ironic - I assume you mean that bogus rumor about Bill crying on TV? Too funny. Lol.
Super hot story. Bushido is just so strong and manly... and Bill is so stubborn! But delicate. Mmmm.
Author's Response: 'Bereaved' is such a good word to use - I was just like: "Well...fuck. Just...fuck. What now." I had no idea what to do, I was just in a state of shock and disbelief. But shit happens, and I'll never be so stupid again to not back up my stories. I love this story too much to abandon it, and even if I have to write it 10 times I'll finish it (but dear god, I really hope not). And the part about Bill crying was absolutely referring to the TV rumor lol. So glad you're enjoying it, and thank you for your lovely review!

I love you. Seriously, I love you! I had a dream tonight that you would update this o.O
Anyway, God. I have no words for how good this is! You're forgiven for the mean cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next chapter! I'll be freezing myself down until then so I won't go crazy.
Author's Response: haha thank you so much! I love you too :) And I'll try update as quickly as possible!

Omg, I feel so sorry for you! And just this morning I was having a go at my laptop because it backs up too often. I don't see the point, I hardly change anything and it takes up ridiculously tiny amount of space on a big CD. So silly.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of my stories. I wouldn't write them up again, It took me forever to get around to it the first time.
Well I hope you manage to write everything up again and I can't wait to see what you came up with. I really like this story. I love how Bill is so unwilling to admit that he wants it, he's such a strange boy!
Author's Response: *pets Bill* he is a strange boy lol. And thank you for your kind words about my laptop - I'm less angry at my computer and more angry with my own stupidity for not taking better care of my stories. But...*sigh* I guess I'll just have to learn from my mistakes. So glad you're enjoying the story :)

Oh my God... That was... t-that w-was...
KYAAAAAH!!! I loved every word, really! *___* It was the perfect reaction from Bill! And Bu was just... He's a little bit too intistent, maybe, but I love him, too! And they're amazing, and you're writing a wonderful story, but I've already told you so XD
And this review is a mess but I'm just so happy you've updated *__*
I'm sorry for the problems with your pc and everythng T__T (maybe it was payback for the terrible cliffhanger ù_ù No, just kidding, sorry XD)
Well, can't wait for more, as usual! ;)
Author's Response: Looool I LOVE your excitement. And lol at my harddrive being payback for the cliffhanger, b/c I was like, "damn it, it serves me right"... It was just so ironic that it had to happen right in the middle of that scene. Well that teaches me, right? Lol thank you so much for reading and for your wonderful reviews :)
Date: 05/02/09 03:02 am Title: Chapter 9
X__x you mean... ahhhhhhh. I'm not sure what to say about this chapter xDDD lol I wanna cheer, yet I wanna hit Bushido??? Maybe????? I don't know?? xD lol
Author's Response: That is a perfectly acceptable response, I assure you :) You're supposed to kind of be happy but still mad at Bu for being so damn pushy lol. Thank you so much for reading!
Date: 05/02/09 02:49 am Title: Chapter 9
IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou!
I don't know what to say besides that because this is great! I love where this story is headed.
Sorry about your hard drive- I know the feeling. Take all the time you need to update because computers can be a bitch.
Author's Response: Awww I love you too! Computers can indeed be bitchy. *kicks mine* Thank you so much for your review!
Date: 05/02/09 01:09 am Title: Chapter 9
Okay sorry about not reviewing. I've been trying but since I'm reading on my phone it sometimes messes up on me and won't post. I'm really sorry about your computer. I love this story. I'm glad that Bill is going to try. Poor Bushido I know the feeling to want to touch something and not be able to. I can't wait to read the next chapter. I thank you for continuing with the story. And thanks to your friend for helping you continue.
Author's Response: It makes me so happy that you can empathize with Bushido's struggle, and thank you for your kind words about my story and my laptop. Absolutely no worries about not reviewing before - that has to be tricky on your phone :) Just so glad you're reading and enjoying!

Computer failed on us all the time. Don't be too sad.
I realised I hold my breath pretty much when reading this chapter. You writing is impressive.
Author's Response: Aw, thank you. And I'm so glad you felt some of the tension I tried to portray between the characters - it means a lot.
Date: 05/01/09 11:50 pm Title: Chapter 9
Now I REALLY want the next XD
Author's Response: I'm so glad :) I'll try rewrite the next scene as quick as possible!
Date: 05/01/09 11:18 pm Title: Chapter 9
I am SO sorry to hear that about your hard drive! Man, I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me.. I'm super paranoid about losing all my fiction. I back it up like crazy. I save it on my computer, in my email, various sites online, and when it's finished I print it out so I have a hard copy.
I can understand the depressive desire to stop writing altogether. Years of writing and not a thing to show for it. Whoever Anatol is, I think we all owe her a debt of gratitude. Thank you BOTH for keeping it all going! Good luck on the rewrites!
Author's Response: Thank you, both for your continuous support and for your condolences about my laptop..it was really tough but I'm young and resilient lol - I'll get over it eventually. I will surely use some of your back-up techniques for my rewrites :)
Date: 05/01/09 11:06 pm Title: Chapter 9
Ok, I've taken a little after reading to try to get my brain working again to possibly leave you a coherent comment. Here goes.
First of all, I'm so so sorry for your loss. My computer died about a week or two ago too so I can totally empathize but I was lucky that I managed to find a way to get to my things. Were there flames or smoke? (I've totally had that happen. >_>) Is it completely hopeless? I'm very glad you didn't give up and that you have a wonderful and supportive friend to pull you through. It really sucks but maybe the scenes will flow even better than before if that's possible?
Onto the fic! I'm very pleased that Bill was freaking out for reasons I'd guessed to myself. Poor boy, I can't blame him at all. I can't blame Bushido for feeling lied to and led on either. I love how you write the boys, that their reactions are realistic and relatable, and that you keep bringing the sexy with a hint of UST. I'm of the opinion that if Bu wants in Bill so bad and Bill's not having it, maybe they should do as they've been doing: let Bill practice on him and then they can eventually switch. Or you can do whatever you're planning/thinking, but now the idea's out there. >_>
And now I think I'm gonna go reread. :)
Author's Response: Yes..*sigh* it is indeed completely hopeless. No flames or smoke (dear god, that happened to you!), just a cordial message in a mockingly pleasant shade of blue telling me that a recent hardware instillation went awry. I hadn't messed around with any hardware since last October, so I don't think that 'recent' was really an appropriate term, but anyway...I'm slowly recovering :) I'm so happy that you empathized with Bill's freakout, and that you like how I write the two of them. I really try to keep their personalities consistent and understandable, so that you feel like I'm succeeding makes me really happy. Thank you for your wonderful review, for reading, and for your sympathy regarding my laptop - you are really sweet :)

i love it! update!
Author's Response: I'm glad - thank you!

fjhfhjshshajghj you always reduce me to awe with these chapters. You just say say much in the right amount of words and paint the most accurate and fitting scenes for these characters. Sorry about your hard drive :(
Author's Response: Awww, thank you so much! I'm so glad you find the characters' interactions accurate b/c that's really important to me, and thank you for your condolences about my laptop. I'm slowly recovering :)
Date: 05/01/09 09:43 pm Title: Chapter 9
Whee! As long as this fic's still being written, I'm along for the ride. ;) I can't wait to see what happens next. ^_^ Congrats on overcoming such a horrible thing! (do I have to say it?) NEXT TIME BACKUP!!!!!!!!! Please! :) Thanks for updating.
Author's Response: You couldn't pay me enough NOT to back up from now on lol. So glad you're excited for the rest of the fic :)
Date: 05/01/09 08:30 pm Title: Chapter 9
I'm so sorry you lost your hard drive. You have such a gift for writing and this story is beautiful. I hope you do continue to write many more stories in the future. This was a great update.
Author's Response: *pets you and the empty shell of my laptop* Thank you so much for all your encouragement...I know I tell you how sweet you are all the time, but you really just are so nice. Thank you :)
Date: 05/01/09 08:09 pm Title: Chapter 9
That sucks so hard about losing all of the content of your hard drive. Just thinking about it happening to me makes my heart hurt! So many lost stories... D: Sorry to hear it happened, but glad of your positive outlook.
As for the story... DAMN. The last chapter made me feel uncomfortable and so did this chapter, but I'm starting to realize that's why it's so brilliant. Sure, Bushido probably shouldn't have pushed Bill, but he did and here we are and I am sooo anticipating the next chapters. The power play between them is scary, hilarious, delicious, and frustrating and I looooove it.
So, keep up the amazingly good work and do NOT give up writing, please. The fandom would suffer from the loss, I promise you. :)
Author's Response: Truthfully, I'm sort of glad that it made you uncomfortable b/c at this point, the relationship between the two of them is anything but comfortable. There's no security or reliance or really even tenderness between them, it's all struggle (both internal and external) and conflict. That's why it makes me so happy that you described it as 'power play,' b/c that's exactly how I'm attempting to write it. Ch. 8 began what I view as the second section of the story...Bill had relative control for the first part, and in this second part Bushido declares his dominance and Bill begins unwillingly yielding to his authority. Your questioning of Bushido's decision to push Bill as hard as he did is very comforting, because I considered putting a noncon warning on this (even though I stress that Bill did in fact want it, he wasn't -ready- and Bushido forced it). As you wrote, his doing so completely altered the allocation of power between them, and IMO it was unfair of him to use his physical strength to do so. Anyway, I'm rambling now, but thank you once again for your kind words, both about the story and my laptop. It was hard to lose the part of me that was embedded in those writings, but I sure as hell will never be so careless with my insides ever again. And I realize it was ridiculous of me to even think I could stop writing, both because I enjoy it so much and because of all the support and encouragement I have received from everyone on this site...it's truly a wonderful place to be.

I was right! *happiness*
You're so talented, though. Love this story!
Author's Response: Yes, you were right :) Thank you so much for the compliments!
Date: 05/01/09 01:32 pm Title: Chapter 8
Too hot for words. I devour every line and every bit.
Bill is such a sexy, fierce kitten. His protest of not getting touch while reacting so responsively to it is what makes this fic so special.
Author's Response: Aww, thank you. So happy you like it!
