Really like both stories.

Def going to check out the sequel. This was a completely believable series of happenings that could lead to this. Well done.

Beautiful story and well written. I loved everything about it! Keep it up.

Brilliantly written. A beautiful piece indeed! I liked it very, very much (as is the same with the rest of your Sherlock stories). :)

Dear Once by the sea,

all praise I gave for 'Goodnight' could be repeated here but I'll try to be bit more specific this time :)

I'm fond of your stream-of-consciousness style, your focus on Sherlock's (and John's) trains of thoughts. Your view of how he came to loathe esp. love makes perfect sense to me.

I like the way you analyse the little changes we see on the show and weave them into an underlying story of growing, if unacknowledged, affection.

Well done, not overdone on any level and lovely to read, since your language is, again, clear and correct (yes, things like that make me happy! Though as a non-native speaker... writer I shouldn't be too picky ;))

Be sure I'll stick with your stories, and maybe you'd like to take a look at my take on pre- and post-Reichenbach events, I'd love to hear your opinion!

Greetings from Germany!
