You are sooo good and gah, every tiny change you weave into a great story and serve on a golden platter, makes me wonder if I'm a Countess or something ;) 3 Only 3am NEXT!

AWWW MY GOSH YOU ARE SO AMAZING! (sniffles). Now I need a tissue. /\

Poor John! His life was hard enough in the other stories, but in this one, being completely blindsided like this! And not just by his mom, but by his wife as well! And the ending is just hopelessly sappy and sentimental and all thing wonderful. Loved it!

I am glad you explained why he took so long, it really was the Sherlock part that got to him.

I loved their hug :)

A nice filler chapter with John and Sherlock

Poor Mary, she does love John, and she and Sherlock make a great team. I am glad John had someone else to go to and could be human

Poor john, it really was the lying that got to him, not anything else

I wish Mary had shot CAM then, would have saved a lot of trouble

I like the change you made, it fits very well

I did wonder how they met, a fun story would have John and Sherlock finding Mary in action and John falling for her then

I love the earl, so adorable but powerful too. Nice job having Sherlock already noticing the details before the case started

Oh my gosh you are an amazing writer and I've read all your fan fictions on the heritage series and it was the best I've ever read thank you :)

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series, and will keep an eye out to see if there are more (though just how many permutations can you do on this theme?). Just one note on this one, though ... while John's parents may have signed the divorce papers, since the clerk never filed them with the Court, the divorce was never processed - and it isn't legal unless a decree is issued by the Court. So the first marriage was never validly ended, and the second was invalid.

Hey there. I'm back. College applications are heck, and all that.

This is brilliant. You are brilliant. I love what you've done with the reconciliation scene. It's been way too long, and your writing is just what I need right now. You have all the love.
