Oh my goodness. I'm not entirely sure if I've commented before, but if I haven't, then this is LONG overdue.

I adore this series. I loved Beyond The Sea, and have re-read it too many times to count. And this is a wonderful sequal. I've actually taken to checking this livejournal every day to see if a new part has been posted. *blushes*

You're charachterizations of Billy and Dom are so dead-on, that I actually believe that Billy could be a singer on a ship, and Dom could be a social worker. When I read this (and this is not true with all AU's), it's Billy's and Dom's voices I hear in my head.

So yes. I'll end rambling here. But this is lovely hon, keep writing. :D

Thank you so much! I love hearing from new people!

This isn’t twelve days to never anymore, you know?

For some reason, that just broke me into pieces. And it just astounds me how smooth you make the transition from seeing Billy as a hopeless romantic in Beyond the Sea to this version who struggles to show Dom the more complex parts of himself.

[suede_scripture]

Thank you for reassuring me. The transition hasn't been easy, and I worry constantly that it seems like I've lost that character. It's still there, but it's being overruled by things Billy has been stubbornly ignoring for a long time.

Right? At least I hope that's how it's coming across.

I won't even try to express just how much I am loving this story. It hurts to read it (in that good way) and I feel such compassion for both of them, especially Dom. I was so happy to see this latest chapter. But my God, what happened in the tack room? Thank you so very much!

[suede_scripture]

Thank you!

What occurred between Billy and Sean in the tack room is already written, as I couldn't finish this chapter without knowing that little bit of info. : ) I do intend to post it as a stand alone in the future.

Oh I wish we were in on that convo between Billy and Sean. I'm actually looking forward to the explosion I know is comming. I bet it's a fantastic story.
Thanks for a great chapter.

[suede_scripture]

The part between Billy in Sean is already written, and I will post it at some point. : )

Thank you!

[crsty1961]

Cool I look forward to it!!
Your so very welcome. :D

Gods this story is still so amazing...I just love the whole thing. From Billy all wonderful with the horses, over-protective Sean, Dom wanting to rush in and stop whatever it was that was happening in the tact room but controling himself, Billy's distraughtness at wanting to be able to tell Dom all the details that he desrves but just not being able to, to Dom all wonderful and grown up at the end telling Billy that he can wait that they've got time.

It's just all so....perfect.... *sighs happily&

[amygirl]

And I wanted to say again how *real* these stories seem. It's like they're actually living and breathing and not just words on the page. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
