Legend of Valor by Peter Roe is the best piece to listen to this with. Sad and triumphant and heartbreaking.

Last sentence gave it to me. thanks for that beautiful story

oh, just lovely. thank you for writing such a perceptive and believable piece!

Fabulous, i am in tears but this was so gorgeous!

Wow, that was a really compact story.

So cute and sad!

I love this! I don't know why I wasn't alerted when you posted as I *know* I have you listed as a favorite author Going to fav you again in hope of not missing anything new for so long. Still belatedly loving it. Brilliant (and sad) idea for why Rupert went the bristly rout all neatly tying into Sherlock's return from death.

Bravo!

(also hope the surgery went well! Sending you good *eye* vibes)

OMG. Heartbreaking. You seriously almost made me cry. But beautiful. I love Lestrade-he puts up with so much, he's a bit of a goof sometimes, but he deeply cares for those he loves, even if they're huge pain in the arses like Sherlock :) I'm sending this to one of my best friends for her to read. Keep up the good work. Write another thing for our beloved detective inspector.

Finally saw this episode last night. This was my favorite part. As ever you portray it beautifully and realistically; this ties in neatly with "the real thing".

Excellent!

I don't know what to say. It's a very lovely story.

This was amazing so sad but amazing!

Your stories are still my favorites!

So, which word was for which friend?

Touching, sweet.
