This was lovely! Sweet, but not soppy. You got Holmes's view on the softer emotions just right, and it was a real pleasure to read.

Very wonderful! And that was a splendid ending! Nice work on this I wish for you to write more

Aww, this was made of WIN! I loved this story from beginning to end. Holmes trying to 'woo' Watson just cracked me up. The dialogue was fantastic, the characters well written and the plot very amusing. The end melted my heart. Yes, Watson, I think that would definitely be a very good ending. ;)

Wonderful job!

Oh, this is so sweet! And I'd love to read your sequel!

i must say that you are a remarkable writer and i absolutely love your story! It was written so well and the true feeling of sherlock holmes was felt by me

You are so bloody brilliant. The line below absolutely floored me:

"For Heaven's sake, man, I have been lying here for the past ten minutes in a state of alluringly pathetic exhaustion, and you sit there like a lump, chatting with the landlady, and offering not the least evidence of finding my effeminate condition sexually interesting. Get a hold of yourself!" That is what I would have liked to say - I did not, of course. The poor fellow would not have stopped running until he reached Charing Cross."

This story made me laugh so much, and it's rare to find authors who can write in that dry yet somewhat bitchy tone that Holmes employs. Watson is adorable as his usual obtuse self though your story makes me sympathise with Holmes exceedingly - honestly, Watson, how many proposals now? get a bloody clue! - and as the reviewer somewhere down the page mentioned, Hudson was great too as a cameo appearance.

In short, I adore your story, I'm adding it to my favourites, and if you write more, I'm queuing up for your hand in marriage.

I totally adored it!

Yay...my fave. slash couple!

I just really love the way you write...its like im reading the actual book...just very adorable cute and funny!

Thanks soo much!

I hope you can make more...

And the perverted side of me wishes more "action"!

As you may see i am a pervert but even thought i am i loved your story!...I just love the idea of Holmes traying too well em... "have fun" with my (his) dear Watson...im reallu used too reading stuff about this couple that are well good, but only talk about the feelings that Watson has for holmes...soo i really enjoyed the change...Thanks for the wonderful story!

TATA!

ah how i've been waiting for a fluffy yet IC holmes pov. kudos

That is incredibly sweet. And hilarious! XD

I'm don't really like Holmes/Watson, but I was trying to find one that stuck to Holmes's character instead of making him seem like an angsty school girl. And I found it! :-D Great job! I enjoyed it thoroughly! Keep up the good work!

Brilliant! really! T

Whee! What a lovely story!

I have to admit that I never thought I'd like blatant Holmes/Watson slash, just because I love their relationship in canon. However, I'll try just about anything once, and I'm glad that I decided to try this.

Your characterization... I'm almost afriad to get into it, just because I'm sure it will tint purple by the end. Holmes is Holmes and Watson is Watson and even Mrs. Hudson is herself for her more-or-less cameo appearance. I had to laugh at some points just because it felt SO Holmes and Watson was SO Watson, for all the sense that makes. I've just gotten into fic for this fandom, and if half of it is half as good as this, I'll be sticking around.

The writing is superb. Since it's in first person, that goes along somewhat with your characterization- but not entirely. It flows beautifully and feels real. No forced romanticism, but no cold distance either. A perfect balance of everything that could be ask for in such a work.

My favorite part would have to be Holmes' unspoken rant, and the hypothesis as to the reaction. The desperate quoting of romantic literature is a close runner, though.

Hm... I really wish I could add something constructive, but I see nothing to criticize. Aside from the flow and feeling of the work, it appears to be totally clean. I could swear I noticed a missing comma somewhere, but doggone if I can find where it was (wasn't?).

One thing, though: FFN doesn't allow chapters dedicated to author's notes. I don't know that you still even remember this bit, as it was posted in 2001, but I personally would hate to see it disappear

I loved this story. It's perfect. It's totally Holmes!

But according to the A/N you are promising a sequel since 2001, are you going to post it? I want it, please! Alert me when you do.

That one line had me laughing my ass off so damn hard. "For Heaven's sake, man, I have been lying here for the past ten minutes in a state of alluringly pathetic exhaustion, and you sit there like a lump, chatting with the landlady, and offering not the least evidence of finding my effeminate condition sexually interesting. Get a hold of yourself!" Hahahahahahaha!

You WIN.

I was browsing on FFN and skipped over this fic, thinking it was just silly H/W PWP. The more fool I. Later, I found it on Sacrilege and checked it out again - because if Sacrilege has silly PWP, it's usually GOOD silly PWP. And I love it. Holmes is so funny. This fic has a great sense of humor. I especially love the Byron reference.

I'm adding you to my C2 of H/W.
