Thank you so much! I'm sorry I left you so conflicted! You did post the other fic, though, right? I haven't been able to check my friends list in a while...

But seriously, thank you so much. I'm glad you think I got Topher and Billy down, they're hard to write in general, but this chapter was definitely the hardest. I feel like Billy is definitely the more passionate and ambitious of the two, the one more willing to have a strict path, while Topher just wants to play around regardless of the rules or morals or anything structured.

Thank you so much, again. I'm so glad people keep reading this!

Just incredible. Epic and wonderful and everything I love about this series. That Topher turned to Billy when the Alpha situation went down was a beautiful idea. I love the interaction between the two of them. I want to BEG you for more.

This story really is just incredibly awesome. And gets awesomer.

Oh, man, I love it. I love how Billy is all talking the evil, but has compassion, and Topher is the one who wants to be neutral, but is doing the more horrific things.

And, of course, you can't not love the "possibly toxic" label. :D

Aww, poor Topher, Thanks for this chapter though!

Wow. Just ... wow. I'm pretty sure that even if this fic were administered to me intravenously, I would still be jonesing.

I love Moist's wry commentary on their friendship throughout the conversation; it really brings out a kind of realism despite the subject matter. Which I love. And Topher ... oh, Topher. He needs a hug.
