A wonderful story! The world you created was wonderful, the characters believeable and loveable. I'm sad that it's over, but I thought the ending was perfect.

I really liked this, you were able to put the world together quite well.
I loved Georg, he was fantastic.
And Gustav even more so,
I loved how you put everyone in the fiction and placed them in just the right parts.
I was truly entertained.
thanks for the great read.

he prayed to god he had remembered to pick up his place before he’d left that morning. – lol
“And you share your quarters with so many other people?”
“I live alone,” – lol
“Where I come from, asking for my clothing, any of it, is considered a proposition.” – lol, does giving it mean that he’s up for a romp?
“You’re a good man,” Bill said when he sat perched on the edge of the sofa, a glass of water in hand. Georg stood by his bedroom door. “I find myself in desperate need of one. Thank you for being him.” - *giggles* that’s so cute and antiquated.
“I--” Bill paused again, then finally he spoke. “If I go home, I’ll be killed.” – Tom?
“No.” Georg took Bill’s shoulder in hand and brought him around to face him. “I can’t--won’t believe that. – well believe it because all you have is what he’s told you.
“I must be thankful for what time I have left. I am still alive. And there is someone coming for me. I won’t have to face this unknown alone.” – someone coming for him? like to kill him?
“He promised. He’s the one who helped me escape. He had to stay behind when he helped me, to cover for me and make sure no one came after me. But he promised he’d come for me when the time was right. - *frowns* who?
“You’re shaking,” he observed quietly. “But not from the cold?” - um this is a little um goofy.
“Come on. You said he has to cover your tracks, right? That’s probably going to take a while. How long have you been here? A day or two? I bet its been a while since you ate anything. Let me buy you breakfast and then I promise to help you look personally for this guy just in case he’s already here.”
Georg tried not to imagine how unbelievably desperate he sounded – oh yeah!!! Lol
“What are pancakes?” Bill asked hesitantly.
Georg cried silent victory. - *grins*
We have a lot of problems here, but there are a lot of good things. – I think that’s most places. I hope so!
“I’m Bill,” the boy introduced himself. “I stayed with Georg last night.” - lol
Bill smiled happily. “I turned sixteen yesterday. What are pancakes?”
Georg groaned. Way too young. - lol
Georg sipped at his coffee, trying not to imagine how Bill might look with lips red and swollen from stolen kisses. - lol
He spoke about his childhood, “very lonely” about his teenage years, “too long” and about his time in college, “completely awkward”. - lol
One quick, soft looking hand flew to Bill’s nose and pulled away fingers wet with warm blood. “Georg,” Bill gasped, standing quickly. “I don’t feel so well.” – uh oh
“Bill!”
Almost upon command Bill surged forward and Georg held a brief instance of hope that everything would be fine. Then Bill was seizing and Georg was screaming for an ambulance. - eeeeee
Date: 08/19/09 02:16 pm Title: Chapter 1: When Meeting New People ...
Monotony rule his life. It encompassed his day, with the typical nine to five job with his very own little cubical, wherein he fed endless numbers into a soulless box and compiled data analysis charts that his bosses rarely paid any attention to, other than to berate him if a mistake was picked up by one of the senior analysts. – this is like the longest sentence ever!
His mother was sitting on several million dollars, the accumulation of three dead rich husbands in a short period of five years. She could afford to be adventurous. Georg couldn’t afford his electricity bill. – why isn’t she helping him further himself?
It was a Tuesday afternoon when everything changed. – this is where it got better the beginning was so hard to read because it mirrored Georg’s existence.
As it turned out the work was needed, the accountant was subsequently less valued. – lol that’s like every job!
“I think you should get back to your computer, man.” – hum? What? Why?
Georg had known Andreas for two years. He shared a cubical wall with the blond man, and over time had learned to accept the male’s weird, almost undesirable personality. – well sometime different is good and sometimes different is bad.
I got a half hour lecture for those kittens. – lol!!
He was well aware he was the butt of several jokes and pranks every week. – awh
Georg had been in his office for a disciplinary problem twice since starting with the company, neither being his fault, but Ulrich was far from a forgiving and understanding man. – lame!
“And frankly, Listing, this company does not seek to promote or sanction that type of illicit behavior, nor that kind of alternative lifestyle.” - Wow Ulrich seriously has his head up his ass!
He had his girlfriend now more out of a convenience than an attempt to placate his mother. He couldn’t give a damn about his mother any more, but Suzie was the only bright light in his life at the moment, and sexually attracted to her or not, he needed her. He often felt like she was the linchpin holding him together. – awh poor Suzie is being used…well if she knows it it’s ok but otherwise just sad.
“Babe,” he said, picking up the sound of music blaring in the background. It wasn’t unusual. She shared an apartment with another girl who was partially hearing impaired. – lol what a weird detail.
He liked her because she was real. Real girls cursed, didn’t always look beautifully perfect, had problems like the worst men, and all those things made them infinitely more interesting than the fake, plastic girls who were obsessed with handbags and tiny dogs. – true!
Because he’d intended to marry her. He wanted children, more than he wanted dick, so the idea of spending the rest of his life with her had been an okay thing, especially if a couple million dollars from his mother cushioned it all. He contested there weren’t tears in his eyes when he hung up the phone. – OMG she dumped him because he got fired because his co-workers were assholes amazing awful!
“Sorry,” he said automatically, then paused when he managed a full look at the person he’d nearly knocked off their feet.
It was quite possibly the most beautiful girl Georg had ever seen in his life, no, without a shadow of a doubt the most beautiful. – enters Bill!
If he’d been a braver man he would have asked her for her number. – you should have.
Georg wasn’t sure what made him look back. But he did. And not too far from his parked car he could see the girl who’d stolen his breath being confronted by two thugs. – awh is Georg going to save her?
“Now I suggest the two of you just move along, before I have to step in any further and get up close and uncomfortable with your genitalia.” – lol genitalia? *snorts and snickers*
The girl frowned, her hood back once more, hair curling at her shoulders. “I don’t need your help either.” - lol
“I would have gone back for anyone who needed me,” he said, which was at least a partial truth. He would have gone back to help anyone who looked like they needed it, not because Georg wanted to play hero – I think that’s most people.
It took a moment before he realized there was moisture in her eyes. She seemed a ways off from crying, but the tentative beginnings were there. It was the last reaction he’d expected. – wow ok
“You got a place to stay?” he asked bluntly.
The woman shook her head.
“Stay with me tonight?” – lol now THAT’s forward!
“Stay at my place tonight. You can sleep on the couch and get some sleep while you figure out where you’re going or what you’re doing. I’ll make you breakfast in the morning and we’ll go our separate ways. No questions asked, no assumptions made, nothing expected.” – As nice as Georg is being I wouldn’t stay with him.
“You’d worry over a stranger?”
“I’d worry about you.” It slipped out of its own accord and Georg was terrified he’d ruined everything. But then she blushed a pretty red hue – lol awh so cute!
“That’s because I am a boy.” – lol Georg!
Bill’s lips pulled upward. “I like it enough. My father gave it to me in my infancy. It belonged to his father, gifted in his own childhood. It means he liked me more.”
“More than who?”
Darkness settled over Bill’s features. “My brother.” – lol
I swear this took me 10 tries just to read the first chapter!
Date: 05/01/09 01:37 am Title: Chapter 19
You know, I was totally procrastinating on reading this chapter. I so did not want this story to end. Awesome, awesome, job, my dear. AND I got a shout out *does a little happy dance*. You deserve all the credit you got for this story. You wrapped it up wonderfully, although I do feel a tad bad for Gustav. But he loves his Georg dearly, so I know he'll happily wait for him. I think if you had ended it any other way it would not have felt true. Does that make sense? Anyone taken away from their home, would not just jump into a happy life, without seriously thinking about their old life. Georg was very honest with Gustav and I think down the road (in your sequel, right?) this will strengthen their relationship. So, well done. And I anxiously await your next epic. I'll just wait over here, okay...no pressure.
Date: 05/01/09 01:35 am Title: Chapter 19
Awww this is sooooo cute and cuddly I love love love it so much. The Gs got together and Bill and Tom are together and safe. It ended so well and sweet. It made my night. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside and there is a big smile on my face.
I'm so glad that I could be of help to you and hope to be in the future as well. I can't wait for your next story and am glad that eventhough you had issues with this that you were able to finish. It really is a wonderful and fun story and I'm so glad to have read it.
Ah, you will graduate soon so congrats and keep smiling. You are so lucky to have been able to finish school where I could not. It is a great thing so be proud:0)
Date: 04/30/09 09:08 pm Title: Chapter 1: When Meeting New People ...
Author's Response: I think that can be arranged. I'd love to find the time to write quick looks down the line, and with college graduation coming up in a few short weeks, I think afterwards I'll have a little more time over the summer to do something like that.rnrn<3 thanks so much for being here for this fic. You made it just a little easier.
I haven't had as much reading time as I'd like.. bur I adored this fic...
Date: 04/30/09 08:55 pm Title: Chapter 19
Oh! It's over! I have to read the whole thing all over again! That is how much I love this story and you!! I can't wait for the new fic! Such a great story from a amazing author!

Oh! It's over! I have to read the whole thing all over again! That is how much I love this story and you!! I can't wait for the new fic! Such a great story from a amazing author!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I put a lot of work into this fic! It's nice to know the fic is appreciated. New fic coming in mid to late May, and I hope you'll like it as much as this one--it's a little different.
Date: 04/30/09 06:41 pm Title: Chapter 19
Awww... I'm so sad this is over. This was one of the best Georg/anyone fics ever! Sequel? =O
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm incredibly flattered.rnrnLikely no sequel, but I do plan on a couple one-shots that'll show the passage of time. Hope to see you then.
Date: 04/30/09 03:27 pm Title: Chapter 19
You make me smile and blush so much when you mention me.
I'm not going to lie, I fucking hated this chapter.
I didn't want to read it, every line I was like, just press the back space and you'll never have to see it again.
But we both know that that's only because it was the last chapter.
I don't want it to be the end, not at all.
In a week's time, I'm expecting an update, where the story notes say something along the lines of, 'it's not really over! It was a joke, enjoy the next 15 chapters'.
Guuuuh, I can't believe it's finished, that's not a good thing in my eyes, even with the sweet as sugar ending.
It was too amazing!
Normally, I'm not a fan of reading paranormal, authors fuck it up, write things that don't make sense and then forget to explain them later.
But that wasn't even something I thought about when reading this.
Well, I did, but more along the lines of, 'thank fuck she's not done this that and the other'.
Your writing is always so clear and understandable that it makes reading a pleasure.
And the fact that your plot lines are always incredible, albeit a little disturbing, just makes me want to read the fic several times over.
It's happened with this and 48H.
So, next chapter, the G's wedding?
That reminds me, talking about weddings, shouldn't Bill be king too? Or at least queen, since he's married to the king, and in monarchies the person's status tends to somewhat match their spouses.
But I think we both know (fuck am I repeating myself) that I want Bill to be king.
I don't know why I do, because I love the fact that he's happy, but I want him and Tom to be equal and stuff, whereas prince and king aren't.
But that wasn't me complaining, since there's only one thing that I have to complain about, and again that's lack of twincest sex (say that out loud, makes your tongue feel nice). It was only me rambling on for too long, and I feel it could be taken as me complaining, but it totally wasn't.
Bill was so incredible, he switched from strong to...not meek, but I can't think of the word...dependent maybe but anyway, not strong, and I liked that. Characters need a bit of diversity, and I think Bill was the epitome of that.
Lovable but fierce, driven, but not hedonistic.
Perfect.
That he chose his true calling rather than his birth right was a lovely touch.
Sure, I wanted him to be king too, but this worked so much better and fit Bill's personality to a 't'.
I wasn't too fussed over the four of them disbanding somewhat, but Bill making them come together once a week, especially him and Tom (I know it doesn't sound like it is, but please note my sexual innuendo, it made me lol) was sweet.
His and Tom's relationship was nothing short of charming. With Tom his personality took a complete one eighty, not in the bad way of course, I mean he was so head strong and all for doing it himself, but with Tom, he became cheeky and a lot more amiable in my opinion.
I hadn't really been expecting Georg to fall in love with Bill, though how could he not? I thought yeah, maybe he'd he'd be like, om nom nom, I must ravish this boy in my bed.
So the falling in love was unexpected, but unexpected is good, it kept me on my toes not knowing what to think.
I also wasn't expecting that he'd have magic and be unable to return to his world soon.
That's kind of a sad thought, since he's left Andi, and I know he wants to go back to visit him, but especially since Andi was worried and really wanted to know what was happening.
I'm so glad that Georg and Gustav are together and Georg saying that is as good as him accepting Gustav's lame arse proposal.
And lol! Gustav's scared of Georg's mother, but from the way she's been described throughout this, I think I would be too.
And I'm not planning on marrying her son.
Gustav, though he didn't play as big a role as the others was rather adorable, having fallen for Georg so fast. The...two? times he was hurt by thinking that Georg still wasn't over Bill, well, knowing, just made my heart reach out for him.
And I proper awwed at the “I was thinking it might be nice to get a kiss from someone a little shorter, and stronger, and phenomenally better looking.” part.
It was so adorable.
I love Gustav as a warrior/guard/strong man, it fits him so well, especially since he's so stoic and withdrawn.
Tom, that's annoyed, me, the others had them leading into them, like, from talking about Bill I lead into Georg, and from Georg I went to Tom, but shit, I couldn't with Tom.
Oh well.
But right, I adore him.
The way you've written his has had me smitten from the moment Bill mentioned him all those chapters ago sitting on Georg's couch.
He's come across as a night in shining armor to me, willing to do anything for the love of his life.
And how, even though there were times when both twins should have doubted each other, they didn't. Even when Bill thought that Tom wanted to kill him, he was still head over heels in love and completely devoted.
That's incredible, it makes me so jealous.
There was no twincest sex though.
Pfffsshhht!!
I also love that Tom's had the position of power throughout, it gets me hot, thinking of Tom like that.
Right, I've been writing this for ages, and there have been countless things that have distracted me, so sorry it couldn't be better.
But just know, I adored this fic, every word, character and setting has had me addicted from the get go.
Author's Response: This comment is EPIC. I shall do my very best to cover everything.rnrnConsidering this fic was exceedingly plotty, my main concern as I finished this up was making sure I didn't leave any gaping wholes. I built an entire universe, and I pull you and everyone else into it, so I think at the very least you deserve to have questions answered, and to find some sense in it all.rnrnWe've had this argument (conversation/debate) about Bill's title before. I don't think we reached an agreement. For the titling proceedure I'm following distinctly European methods (obviously in very hypothesized ways) and that's why Bill is prince consort instead of any other title. *shrug* When I was writing this the title was the least of my problems and worries, so I admit, I didn't put an over amount of thought into it, but I can understand why it would stick out at you like a glaring mistake. When I revise the fic I may change it.rnrnTwincest sex ... twincest sex ... god, that's smutty. *snort* There are tenative follow up one-shots in the works, and you never know, some twincest sex may sneak in.rnrnThanks so much for saying something about the characters. I worked really hard on them. I never wanted to make them too much of one thing, and I wanted them to change in accordance with the plot and the other characters. In the end I feel like I got that middle ground. Also, the way I felt about writing Tom in the end was that while he suddenly had a lot more pressure on his shoulders, he had a different kind taken off, and that allowed him to open up a little more and be a little more playful.rnrnI tried to write Gustav as a pillar. I wanted him to be the backbone of this fic. I wanted him to be the one stagnent, reliable force. And by the end when I was sure I'd done it, that's when I indulged in the fluffy G/G. And I rather like how they turned out. They're oddly suited for each other in the way I've written them.rnrnI always sing your praise with the comments because honestly, this fic would have been even slower coming if you hadn't pushed and proded me along. Yours was the first comment I looked for and always the most detailed that I responded to. It's people like you that make the feedback cycle a true pleasure and I will keep writing for as long as you keep comenting.rnrnAlso, I've got the first chapter of the next fic already written. It won't be long before I'm bugging you for a banner. But I'm a little nervous about this one, so we'll see how long it takes me to get up the courage to post it.rnrn<3<3<3<3<3<3 Endless thanks!
Date: 04/30/09 02:54 pm Title: Chapter 19
you do realize that I really want to see snippets of this universe (even one shots) a year from here, two, ten and maybe even twenty years down the line.
*sighs* I'm squeing a bit inside for how the boys are on the way to happy, but sad it's over...
Author's Response: I think that can be arranged. I'd love to find the time to write quick looks down the line, and with college graduation coming up in a few short weeks, I think afterwards I'll have a little more time over the summer to do something like that.rnrn<3 thanks so much for being here for this fic. You made it just a little easier.
Date: 04/30/09 01:50 pm Title: Chapter 19
:) I love you... well, I love your writing anyway. XD Thanks for a great fic, and I'm breathlessly waiting (figuratively speaking, of course) for your next fic.
Author's Response: Wow! I am incredibly greatful and pleased that this story was such an enjoyment for you. Thank you so much for taking this wild ride with me!
Date: 04/30/09 01:22 pm Title: Chapter 19
It's done. :( I think I might be just the slightest bit sad that's it's actually finished.
But it was a good ending! Bill and Tom are the cutest couple ever, Georg and Gustav are a close second, and though Gustav has no finesse whatsoever, I loved his proposal. XD
Georg's request for the Magistrate was very noble, too. I liked that a lot. :)
Annnd I can't wait for your next fic! If the plot is anywhere near as good as this one, I know I'll love it. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! You were certainly one of the people who kept me going with your comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic and stuck around all the way to the end! This was a long and trying ride, so to have support like this means a lot.rnrnI hope you enjoy the next fic I put out just as much. It's a little less plotty, a little more action/adventure, but I think you'll like it all the same.
Date: 04/29/09 05:43 pm Title: Chapter 18
Gah! How could I not have read any of this before?? Well I just read the whole thing and it's so wonderful! I should review each chapter I know. But I had to tell you that I love it!
Date: 04/28/09 12:45 pm Title: Chapter 18
aww...
I feel for poor Geo, everythign he's known had been upended
Date: 04/28/09 12:25 am Title: Chapter 18
I'm so glad Georg was able to explore his father's past a bit. That will definitely bring some closure to that part of his life.
Oh...and another wedding *sigh*. Bill is such a clever guy. He knew that asking Georg to stand up for him would push him towards Gustav.
Well, I'm bracing myself for the reality of only one more chapter. This has been a wonderful journey, and I'm so glad you're sharing it with us.
Date: 04/27/09 03:17 am Title: Chapter 18
I have so many things to say first.
First off, NOOOOO.
Not one more chapter, that's not good, well it is, but it isn't.
I want the ending, because I'll love it, but I love the fic too much for it to end.
Second, I've had a smile on my face upon reading all of this.
And there was something else, but I've forgotten it.
Anyway, Gustav and Georg are so cute!
I'm so happy that they're together now XD.
They're so well suited, your characters that is.
And Gustav holding Georg's hand, made me aww so bad.
I don't want Tom to be king and Bill not to be, I know he will, being Tom's husband and all, but I don't know, I want them both to be the same, even though I've always said I like Tom having a higher position than Bill.
Guh, you make me question myself woman.
But it makes it all the sweeter Tom being king, spesh when I read about him watching Bill avidly and making sure there was always guards with him.
Twin fluff in the last chapter?
I thought Bill helping Georg to get over him was a really nice touch, but I couldn't help but be embarrassed for him, talking about loving someone when they're married to someone else.
But still, it was gooood.
And Georg saying that Gustav felt like the magic he'd been experiencing, filling him with warmth and such, once again, I proper awwed.
And I awwed to Bill asking Georg to stand for him, I wasn't expecting that, since he must have people he cares about more than Georg there, but then I thought about it, and it's probably only Tom and Gustav that he gives a damn about, and David of course.
Oh, but before I leave (once again I've came on in the morning ten minutes before I have to leave) I have a complaint.
There was no description of the twins consummating their marriage.
Psssht!
Oh, I did give you my new email address didn't I?
I can't remember, the static.impulse@live.co.uk
Author's Response: <3rnrnI'm so relieved you came around to the G/G. I know you were a little iffy on them for a while, or maybe just with Georg, but it seems like that's in the past now, which makes me very happy.rnrnAs for the kingship, I really had to make a choice. Considering the backstory I'd built up, I couldn't suddenly change things around just because I didn't want to have to pick. But I think it worked out for the best, because now Bill gets to do what he wants to do, what makes him happy, and not something that would have killed him a little more every day. I kind of felt if I made Bill king, I'd be dishonest to what kind of a character he is.rnrnlol, I wanted to put some hot twinsex in here, but it never really fit. And things that don't fit, get cut. Maybe I'll have a little side story that's pure smut. You never know.rnrnThanks for the new e-mail address! I hope to have the last chapter posted on either wednesday or thursday. Then I'll get started on editing the first chapter of the next story I'm writing. After that you'll get an e-mail from me begging you for another banner.rnrnI say it every chapter, but it never hurts to say it one more time. I live for your reviews and your unwavering support. Thank you so much.
Date: 04/27/09 12:33 am Title: Chapter 18
Awwww ( giggles ) That is so cute with George and Gustav! They are so cute together and I think its great that George is finally getting to know more about his father.
It is nice to see how Bill is now that he is back in his rightful place and Tom is just sweet. Their kingdom will be great. Oh... It's almost over :( I'm going to miss this story. Please write another one. I love your stories. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you approve of the G/G. It's my first time writing them, but I think it turned out well. rnrnThe next and final chapter is going to wrap absolutely everything up, and hopefully address any hanging questions, all while taking a peek into the future for our favorite boys.rnrnAnd worry not, the next fic is already well into the works. I won't be able to start on it until I graduate, but once I get to posting, there won't be delays with it like there was with this fic.rnrnSo hang around just a little more!
