Wow, that was painful to read, but very worth it. Great work!

Very good.

This was truly powerful, and just as emotional as "Only a Violet From My Mother's Grave." I really enjoyed your writing style, and I'm glad you decided to write this sequel!

I have only two words...*tear* spectacular work!

Hey there! Wow, I read this a week ago or something but I haven't been able to review until now, (exams are finally over), but I want to say that I absolutely love this- possibly even more than "Only A Violet...", if that's possible.

You've managed to perfectly capture Holmes's character and disheartedness- that sense of being lost and misplaced- brilliantly done. And it's not just your portrayal of Holmes, but it actually seems like this could be from canon. Absolutely incredible. I especially loved the part where he's on the ledge and he's ruminating his next step- there aren't words enough to describe it.

I loved it so much, actually, that I've been inspired to draw it. Or at least try to, since I haven't drawn anything in four years or something. But, anyway, I've got rough drafts of a couple of panels- I hope you don't think it too presumptous or silly of me, but I really was moved by this piece. Anywho, excellent job- looking forward to more soon!

P.S. I do agree that a younger Everett would have been better- or Jonathan Rhys-Myers from "Bend it Like Beckham" -

I have read Only a Violet From My Mother's Grave, and I loved it...this story...is it one-shot?...was painfully beautiful.

I dont really care for in-character Holmes anyway :)

Oh, and 12th paragraph from the bottom: "...the gently curve of her collarbone..."

Sorry, the word gently is bothering me :)
