I liked this a lot!

HI KCS! That was...so. scary...! You absolutely accomplished your goal of major creepiness and suspense! I was reading this over lunch on a dark rainy Saturday and my teenaged sons wanted to know why I was squeaking behind my hands, so I read a bit of chapter 1 to them, and they were both freaked out and impressed. I'm sharing the link to this story with them. I loved your twist ending! Bloody Mycroft. That was low even for him. Lol! Thanks for another really great story KCS :)

Like. I thought Sherlock learned this in the pool.

Mycroft has a most peculiar way of showing he cares. I can see BBC Sherlock’s Mycroft dong something like this.

Oh my, this is a brilliant story! Watson's Woes at their very best!
Your creepiness is beyond creepy, really. I love how it builds up and up and up and up. I couldn't put it down - a true page-turner. Well, well done.
I also love the solution. Nothing supernatural, OF COURSE. Not even dangerous, really. But I'm sure our heroes have learned their lesson. And that's all Mycroft ever wants, isn't it, the bastard.
So, let me repeat myself - this is a brilliant story, and I very much hope you'll let us have it for the Canon Addicts community. :)

Such a great ending...love the friendship vibe

Wow, I really liked hearing John's deductions

So nice to see him fight back at last

Lol about that life insurance policy line

Really enjoyed the doctor who reference

Nice way to build up suspense here, really well done

Gosh that was just...BRILLIANT! I have never read a suspense story that really got my blood pumping like this one did. You were going for creepy and suspenseful right? You killed it. My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I might have screamed in terror when someone knocked on my door while I was reading this.

I really, really, REALLY loved this!

Wow, just wow! That's INTENSE!

Another goodie. Well done.

AHHHHH! THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! You are a great writer and you got Sherlock and John's amazing, brilliant friendship perfectly! I'm so glad others share my love of their friendship (no slash.) And can fulfill my need for hurt/ comfort and fluff! Thanks again!

Alright I'm probably wrong them. I had some convoluted conspiracy theory that it was Sherlock who had kidnapped John for a fear experiment. Sniper more likely.

Interesting, very interesting. And quite enthralling as well. Thank you for sharing this excellent read. I love how Sherlock gives John his blessing to clock Mycroft next time they see him. I wish you included that, though that would take away from the ending. Though if you ever do a sequel, maybe you can include that or some other form of revenge they cook up. Now that would be interesting to read. Other then that, you've done an excellent job on this, very excellent, and I wish you great and happy wishes for it! :-)

As always your story was totally brilliant! I just now got into the Sherlock fandom, before I only read JB!Holmes or canon, but this story really got me hooked!
