Here I am, sitting in my chair, chocolate nearby, and tears flowing down my bloody face. Oh my god, that was so fucking heartbreaking - I thought they would end up together but then they didn’t and now my heart is in pain and it’s all your fault. You’re probably not even going to read this. Gosh. Urgh, it was so perfect and so terrible. Wow.

Wonderful but so sad!

I AM BROKEN.
SHERLOCK, JOHN, YOU BLIND, STUPID MEN, HOW DARE YOU SHATTER MY HEART LIKE THIS?! YOU FOOLS. YOU UTTER FOOLS.
How could you write this?! This, wonderful, glorious, horrible, heartbreaking, spellbinding, breathtaking work of art that tore out my soul and proceeded to play hackysack with it?! How COULD YOU, you beautiful, terrible person?
In short, I LOVED IT WITH EVERY PART OF MY (FRACTURED) HEART AND SOUL.
THANK YOU FOR CAUSING ME SUCH HORRIBLE PAIN. I ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF THE AGONY. :-)
Thanks for writing, seriously. This was heaven, hell, and everything in between and I loved it. :-)

You completely broke my heart with the ending, but your story is lovely and I adore your writing.

oh my GOD. it is damn good story.
I couldn't stop reading until I've done.
sorry my english is not so good cuz it's not mother language, sorry that I can't write what I feel about story more specificly.
even maybe I did not understand every bit of words, it is brillant and heart breaking as other reviewers wrote.
thank you for your work.

I found you because I was looking for Supernatural fics. After the first one which I liked very much, I proceeded as I always do in such a case and opened all your stories. Just out of curiosity I read this one about Sherlock Holmes. I love the TV show but I ve never read a fanfic about it yet. And what should I say. It was so incredibly good. I couldn't stop, even though I'm having a test tomorrow and actually have to study. It is just so perfect, and even more so heart breaking because they did not end up together. It made me feel such a complex mixture of feelings, it made me feel alive - I normally don't review but here I just had to. I couldn't help noticing that your last post was a long while ago. Did you stop writing? Please, please do continue, I am already afraid of reaching the end of your stories.

*sniff, sob* so wonderfully heart-breaking...oh, if only these two stubborn sods would realise that they indeed love each other dearly! sigh...

Oh My God. .God! You... you made me cry! And trust me, I'm don't cry easily. But you.. you. Ugh, I hate it when words fail me.

Okay, I'll start over.

This is a FANTASTIC story. Reading this story makes me want to curl up into little ball and die; but at the same time, it... helps me. I have saved this story in my PC and whenever I feel depressed I read this fic (and that makes me even more depressed). But then, I feel that beauty does exist in this world. If people are capable of creating artworks with such heart-wrenching perfection, surely there is hope for the world.
And then, I don't feel sad anymore.

I have to thank you for posting a story with so much *purity*. Whenever I read this fic, I feel like I attained nirvana for however short a period.

You are an AMAZING writer. An angel of writing, maybe... A true artist. And I cannot express my sincere respect and adoration in words. Definitely one of my favourite authors, right after Chuck Palahniuk and Sylvia Plath. I am honestly wondering how you can exist?

I didn't sleep for a day, after reading this fic.

You write so poetically, so beautifully, so lyrically and with so much emotion, that I believe it is impossible for a person to read this fic and not like it.

Okay, now about this fic. It is so easy to believe. I almost wondered whether this was a prequel to Sherlock Holmes, The movie. Well, I think it is. I absolutely adored how you incorporated Gladstone into the story.

You capture the beauty and agony of love gone wrong so perfectly.

I loved the entire fic, how you describe things, your unsual metaphors and unique adjectives. My favourite lines would be -

"He will push Watson's hand away, and tell him to go home to his wife. Watson will not listen; he never does the first time." You broke my heart into tiny teeny bits by the second part - he never listens the *first* time, indicating that there are going to be more 'times'.

And also,

""To the first great love of your life."

And Watson will smile, and hide his mouth behind the glass, and murmur just loud enough to be heard, "To you, my dear," and the next toast Holmes makes will be to the future. "

Such powerful sentence to end the story with. Perfect story, perfect ending. You have definitely made a fan out of me.

Gee thanks for SHATTERING MY HEART. This story

Holy shit. That was so amazing. You just wrote everything in their past, tied it back so well into what we've seen on the outside... I am crying right now. That was the most well-written, bittersweet fanfiction I have read.

Wow. I was going to write a story that explained why Watson and Holmes look at each other with such obvious despair and longing, but clearly I don't have to because you have done just that, and better than I ever could. Bravo.

This is so utterly... utterly. I really have no words to describe this golden triumph. So heart breaking and true.

Thank you for this. It will be stuck in my mind for days...

Oh, this was so wonderful and so brilliant and so beautiful. I couldn't stop reading and your story have broken my heart about 18 times and then patched it back together each time. Thank you so much for writing this! Youre so talented!

Maybe you could consider a sequel for this story and let Watson and Holmes be together (mary dies in the books after all..)?

What. an. amazing. story.

I've read books weaker than this,

but that's not hard, because this fic was so absolutely amazing,

well composed, and sending shivers right to one's heart.

Very, very well done!

Oh, the sadness in this story. So much of it. I had trouble coping with it.

I liked the way you wove Mary into it as a much-later-this-happened.

Minor edits if you're the type: "his dissolution ." has an extra space, I was wondering if "I'm meant learn the dog's name" should have a 'to/ta' or if it's omitted as a way of speech. Finally, the sentence "Watson scowled at the bustling scene" is suddenly in past tense while the surrounding is in present tense, in the NOW.

Thanks for this!
