Loved this story

Wow! This story had me in tears. Her paternity didn’t end the way I wanted, but my tears were not from that but from the complex, loving, beautifully crafted story you gave us.

This continues to be one of my favorite stories on . You have such a marvelous grasp of all the characters- even two seasons later, this fic would fit perfectly into the Sherlock universe. I love how all the disparate pieces come together: Jim Moriarty's visit, Sherlock's steadfastness, Mycroft and John's voiceless suspicion, Tim's obliviousness, and then Irene Adler as the match... My favorite, though, must be Queen!Molly with her spine of Toledo steel. And Gretchen, of course. I had tears in my eyes at the very end. Thank you for such a beautiful story.

whoa! This is super good!

This story is so beautiful! Gretchen and Timothy are so real, and you did such a great job of telling a story of finding out the truth in a way that brings both firm resolution and also happiness and staying family for everyone involved.

Beautifully written, with a fascinating fresh story. I stumbled over this and I'm thrilled;you've made my Sunday afternoon. I may be late to the party but you've written something for the ages.

This made me cry. You are a wonderful devil.

I can't tell you how many times I read this story(because I literally can't) and yet it always bring out tears of my eyes. I can see Sherlock grows to be the man you wrote, I can see Molly in her strength, to love, to care, to guard her little family, it's beautiful. Truly beautiful. I thank you for this precious story.
you're fantastic writer, I enjoy all your stories, I wish you could write more.

Perfect. Everything was perfect. There are no words to describe this wonderful story. I'm glad you chose to post this story. :) I love the fairy tale at the end. :)

Oh my god this is very beautiful it's sad

I'm crying. So beautiful.

I never leave comments but this fic was just phenomenal. You're writing is sincerely good. Great in fact. In fact I'm jealous I must admit. And your understanding for how everyone must have felt, especially Gretchen, was perfect and heartwarming. I cried at the last two chapters. Everything was so sweet and your words helped me feel as Gretchen felt, so how could I not cry just a bit? Really, just bravo :)

lovely, clever story. never thought sherlock could be so compassionate or molly so steely. wonderful writing.

This story is really lovely. It's really difficult for me to be on this site for long because the formatting it terrible on my eyes, but I stayed for about an hour to read the whole thing. I normally can't do more than 10 minutes here on . Your style has an almost ethereal quality to it while still managing to stay completely real, and the plot was just magnificent. Well done.

This is one of my all time favorites! And I couldn't for the life of me remeber he title or author. Thankfully, mizjoely just added it to her master list on tumblr! And I got to reread it again!

Great work!
