Oh, I loved that! That was fascinating and beautifully written, thank you.

Aww, great job! I love the way you ended it, the way the endings from the two chapters matched.

Well, seems like today I'm gonna read every single word you've written. Not that I mind, it all has been fantastic. And there's still plenty to go.

I loved this one, too.

Oh my gosh... that text-

"Lestrade, please tell that Impossible Git of mine that he can come home.

Tell him to bring milk."

What better way to say "I forgive you"? XD

And Poor, poor Sherlock... what's happened in those "three bloody years" that has left him so scarred and broken? D':

Beautifully written. -

wonderful story. I love stories about Lestrade and sherlock which includes a hurt/comfort aspect, especially when Lestrade comforts such a fragile, lost Sherlock. I would love to read more about such plot.

Wow, adorable! :D Cannot wait for chapter 3

Oh, the beautiful h/c! Which I love, by the way. Very much.

I really enjoyed Lestrade's reaction to Sherlock's reappearance, as well as his actions. It seems very in character to me, and watching it all play out was fabulous. I also liked the hints at John's reaction, which I also found very much in character. Thank you for another marvellous chapter!

Oh, I absolutely loved this! I love the image of Lestrade holding Sherlock, and that he wasn't yet ready to give him back to John. Very sweet and well-done. :)

GAH :( Totally didn't tear up or anything... . . Mycroft's reaction was so, well, so Mycroft! :( This is brilliant.

Ah, this is great! I think this has got to be my favorite sentence-

'Sherlock everyone-else-is-an-idiot impossible-git I-don't-care bloody Holmes could not not come home.'

I had to read it a couple times before I even got it, (the first time through, I just sat there and blinked and said, "...What?") but when I did it was wonderful.

And I especially like the bit about the phone and the files in alphabetical order, and the nicotine patches- Ah, I liked all of it! XD

It's the little details that make this story. Mycroft's voice, the way Lestrade cuts his own thoughts off ("he needed a drink"), the "Oh God, John." So very disoriented; it's exactly the way Lestrade's mind would be right then, not quite finding purchase and kicking into gear. Wonderful.

Sorry, I tried to review this earlier, but it wouldn't let me. P

Anyhow, this was lovely. Beautiful, in fact. I totally wasn't tearing up, or anything. Seriously, though, I loved Lestrade's reactions. I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but I personally never really though about the effects that Reichenbach would have on the characters other than John/Watson and Mrs. Hudson. You've given me much to think about.

Does anyone else think that they'll cry at the "Reichenbach" episode next season?

Thanks for posting this, and again, sorry the reviewing took so long - I really did love this!

Oh, this is sad. I love how you've described his reactions to Sherlock's death - it feels very real. Looking forward to the next part!
