I loved this story! Thanks for writing it!

I'm cryiiiiiing!

Sherlock thinks this is his mind conjuring things but I'm convinced this is real and Mary did actually return to be his Spirit of Christmas Future. How can his mind conjure a pop culture reference that he doesn't understand? Yup that's my proof right there xD

Wow now he's got an actual reason for not showing up or texting back, great job Sherlock xD

Oh I just loved this story, especially Mary. Her relationship with Sherlock really was so much fun to watch. You did such a lovely job on this story!

This was the "Christmas Carol"/"Sherlock" mash up I never knew I wanted, but now I've read it, and it's a favorite for sure! Loved Sherlock knocking himself out, and each "ghost" - Mycroft, Anderson, and Mary - were perfectly chosen and perfectly in character. Anderson made me laugh and Mary made me tear up. You write her affection for Sherlock so well. I adored his making it right with Molly and how he is still himself even as a family man - a more balanced version, but still very much the Sherlock we know and love. I loved the line about him being not just Sherlock "the legend" but also fully Sherlock "the man". Wonderful story!

A great story, I absolutely loved it!

Wonderful story. Well done.

Lovely fic. Very enjoyable

Wonderful and entirely believable. Absolutely perfect

I adore epilogues and scenes of ! Such a fitting ending, and a show of Sherlock’s growth as a man/husband/father. I am very fortunate to have a husband like that, I wish everyone could experience it! The magnifier thing was so cute, both the “It was your idea” joke, and the finding a toothbrush instead of his magnifying glass. I really, really hope the writers of the show can see how many possibilities they could open up by actually having Sherlock embrace hihis emotions with his true love at his side. Oh, I also liked the bee book, it’s fun to use ACH canon for a possible future involving bees. And the original present, very sweet. And Nicky, so funny!
Thanks for sharing your marvelous storytelling ability. I could only hope to write as well as you. I look forward to reading and reviewing more of your work!

Simply beautiful, on to my fifth tissue, but these tears were ones of joy.. I loved that he told her he wanted it all, marriage, babies and stuff. I also love that they didn’t go ya-haw and jump into bed right away (although I’m certain it would not be long LOL). What I like is that you show he us utterly committed to her, that he wants a future with her. I liked the sweet kiss and hoping he was doing it right. Personally, I think kissing scenes are so romantic. There are so many ways to write it. You write the romance and love very realistically and thoughtfully. I appreciate y your style of writing, intimating without being explicit with things. I should be eating lunch, but I need to finish this now first!

Oh my goodness, I am on my third tissue, crying ever since the Molly pregnant with a different man’s baby scene. It just broke my heart. I don’t think I have ever cried so much over a story. Just the thought of Sherlock not being with his soulmate deva devastates me. Honestly, to anyone who reads this story and doesn’t bother to review it and say what a fantastic author you are is a complete moron! It was masterful writing. Personally, I hate what Mary made Sherlock do in the show. He almost died as a result. I love how you showed her here, the regret, their easy relationship. I always thought she was the one who saw him and Molly as meant to be. Loved her “big boy” commment. Loved the Younger than the queen” comment. Loved the “making some terrifyingly brilliant babies.” And also Mary’s threats if he chickened out. I’ve been savoring this slowly, fitting it between readreading other stories and my own writing, but now I need to keep reading. I bow to you, mistress of sf storytelling!

Such a cute story! I really love how well you captured Mary and both her forthrightness and sense of humor. Perfect!

This was amazing so warm and emotional and real. I sobbed through most of chapters 4 and 5 and smiled like an idiot through the epilogue. Thank you so much for writing this!
