loved it!

brilliant. Now that you mentions it, Sherlock does seem awfully like a child. A big, grown up, intelligent and maybe even spoiled child, but a child nevertheless. Love how John made that Peter pan connection.

That... is a bit terrifying. And incredible. Well done, REALLY well done.

Love this.

Brava... Damn it. I don't usually like out and out Holmes/Watson shipping, but this was actually Quite spectacular. Way to go.

Thanks for cookies. And for story.

The last few lines were fantastic, it honestly left me breathless. I love fics that have a Peter Pan focus on them, and this is one of the prime examples why. All the little details about Sherlock's mannerisms, and comparing them to Pan...well done!

That was wonderful.

The analogy between the two really is uncanny. :-)

Very neat.

brilliant beyond description. Amazing character development. amazing voices.

I think this is one of the best character examinations of Sherlock I've read - there really is something Pete Pan-ish about him, isn't there?

And that last line is just perfect (and almost enough to make me shed a tear at the thought of it).

Just found this - what a gorgeous concept and story. Really touching, poignant, romantic, funny. Loved how you worked the plot in too - Sherlock is obviously solving a case using his talent and perseverance, not stumbling into it. Really fun, thanks!

Holy...wow. This is amazing, truly - the parallels you drew were excellent, and Sherlock really does come across as something like Peter Pan, doesn't he? I also love the comparison of John to a Lost Boy. Simply wonderful writing, the whole thing - the progression, the gradual development, the...everything. :)

The translating of what Sherlock and Mycroft were saying to what they actually meant ("It hardly sounds stimulating," / "I don't want to play." etc) - brilliant!

"He either didn't want to grow up or hadn't quite accepted that he should do." - I loved this line. It's just...so Sherlock. And really fantastic.

The "girls are icky" bit...XP

Sherlock being compared to Bambi...! So cute. And I liked the fact that he didn't even notice the injury and just wanted to keep going. Very him.

"Who is Tinie Tempah and why can't he spell his own name?" - My thoughts exactly. XD

"He thinks, as he hears Sherlock breathing rhythmically beside him, that maybe the detective had saved him at just the right moment."

"Anywhere could be a Neverland."

"...even adults didn't want to grow up."

All simply wonderful lines.

"To die will be an awfully big adventure." -Very nice comparison drawn, really does summarise Sherlock's general attitude to danger, doesn't it?

To die would be an awfully big adventure is written on my wife's coffee cup, never associated with the Holmesian sociopathic view before now, very good!
