Oh I have seen the series "To the ends of the earth". Benedict looks almost unrecognisable compared to what he looks like as Sherlock, but that's the brilliance of costume and makeup I guess.

I do love it when you include canon scenes and make them a part of your stories.

Aw Sherlock and his earlier affinity for deleting people's first names. I always had an idea that Shilcott forgot the hat to test Sherlock's deduction skills. I also love to think of Sherlock realising his feelings for Molly during his absence from London.

Ha! This would've been great had it happened this way!

I really like this. I like the little "extras" you allow us to see. When I read these I don't read them with the idea that they are dreams - I think they are excellent as stand alone AU type stories.
I like how you re-capture Sherlock's essence in these.
I like your Journey story (a lot) although sometimes, for me, it takes some getting used to a 'softer' more 'sentimental' Sherlock that he has become in the stories. I can understand it - but sometimes have trouble 'seeing' it. I know if he found faith - which I believe is plausible - he would change somewhat. But I still like a snarky Sherlock - and Molly's ability to handle him.
This story was a revisit to that. You paint him well. Molly too.

Hi my friend!

I love this story!

I do not know which show do you mean because I have not seen so many show in which Benedict Cumberbatch play.

However, I have noted the reference to TFP in this and in the previous chapter. It is amazing how you can connect the dialogues perfectly.

Eli

I loved this chapter... "Fatal error - Abort objective" LOL.

He definitely looked nervous when Molly was entering her room ...

And yes, there are many hidden messages like "the love of your life" and he asking "girlfriend?" and when he heard "jealous" ... I guess John's voice asked if he was jealous not because Molly made the right deductions, but for Molly looking at the skeleton ... LOL! Remember that before meeting John Sherlock' s friend was a skull...

Loved it!

So happy to have a happy ending for them... you executed it beautifully, full of feeling and hopefulness.
Thanks for sharing!

Whew! You dove even deeper into his emotions, it definitely hurts. Beautifully done!

I love the dynamics that are displayed between Sherlock and Molly. It's a little OOC in parts, but it was just enough to make it enjoyable and still (mostly) canon-compliant.

I was really happy that this was a fic where Sherlock ends up fighting for Molly. As a huge shipper of Sherlolly, I can say that I have read waaayyyy to many fics where they don't end up together, or it is poorly written. As a reader, I can guarentee 100% that this fic is neither.

Personally, when I look for a Sherlolly story, it can't get much better than this.

Loved the story!

Ok, that is the sweetest his ever done for her.

Ah! That first phrase of the words staging as a refrain was sooooo good!

Lovely gloss over the canon, just enough detail methinks.

He’s in love! Yas!
Love that you refer to it as a loss to be grieved over, its so much more personal. This entire paragraph is absolutely stunning. His resolve that no one would know, that he would carry on, has absolutely stolen my heart and ran for the horizon. Stunning, evocative writing!

Hoping John will see that he isn’t alright. Returning to seeking solitude is absolutely a red flag. Ah, so upsetting he didn’t catch on. Blame Sherlock’s deception for that, though.

Got to say- it was great how this scene intercepted the canon. Love these sort of add-ons.

‘But he supposed (...) in her affections’ great line!

Omg your writing here has absolutely just dropped a plot hole worth discussion. You’re right! The door won’t have been locked in that scene! And with all that press just outside... that’s absurd! :O Not that they’d break and enter, but still that’s not a good move. How interesting I never noticed that. Your attention to detail is a method of learning I swear hahaha

:O so Tom hasn’t arrived?! Oooooo

And the relationship is over! Happy happy happy! The moment as Sherlock realises and they meet eyes is wonderful!

Had to laugh at John not getting the message, but Mary being pretty much the wing-woman he needs. John is a sucker for politeness though. Ever the Englishman hehehe

It’s funny how neither of them confront the obvious straight away. Sherlock accuses her of knowing what he wants to discuss, and Molly accuses him of knowing why they break up. I’m like ‘come on children!’ Hahah!

“And what would (...) unexpected information?” Cheeky git hahahaha

As always, you write kissing flawlessly. Ahhhh. Love the analogy of going from a chemical defect to a high.

Glad they talk everything through- good, clear communication. Her eyes widened (...) caught his breath”, beautiful!

THE ENDING. Perfection. You’ve melted my heart in two chapters. Brava!

I caught the reference. LOL. And this was so cute and sweet.

This is a really good start. Hope he figures out she does love him.
