Brilliant. I’d head of this story before and didn’t think I could stand the frank descriptions of drug use. But he descriptions FURTHERED the story. They were not gratuitous. It’s kind of like the violence in ‘La Femme Nikkita’. Totally necessary for this story to pack the punch it has. This story is one of the best I’ve ever read. Congrats to the Author, and if you’re reading the reviews deciding if you can stand it— GET ON WITH IT.

That was the most beautiful story and I loved every agonizing minute of it. The way you captured their unique personalities and fit them into this was amazing.

This is just amazing! A really nuanced and touching portrayal!

that was indeed an emotional rollercoaster! i loved all the chapters, its a really beautifull fic really!

On one of your disclaimers you mentioned that you don't approve of drug usage. I don't see this story like that at all. I see this story as educational. Showing the downward spiral, or redemption if the user is lucky enough. This is a very well written and informative story. It touches on a topic people find uncomfortable. The story is emotional, but it's also beautiful. I am blown away by this story. Never stop writing!

I made a fanart based on one of the scenes :) I hope you like it :) art/Sherlock-and-Irene-What-He-Likes-582670084

This is now my head canon on what happened during the time that Sherlock was dead. I refuse to believe anything else LOL

Awesome writing, wonderful pacing, great plot, mindblowing sex scenes...no wonder you got that writing job! Can't wait to read more from you!

Wow, this was absolutely amazing. I had tears in my eyes at times, and smiled at the same, and sometimes I was just blissfully overwhelmed by all the emotions you described so well I could almost feel them. I love especially the ending, it's just a bit sad, but so hopeful. I can't wait to start reading the sequel tomorrow!

Enjoyed this far more than I expected to, very dark, very real and very good

That is simply the best story I have read in at east six months. You have a gift.

I really like the way that you characterize Irene as selfless. She's always thinking about how she should act, how it will help Sherlock or hurt him. I really like this story.

Still love it after a second read through!

This chapter was very emotional. I personally not sure that I see Sherlock as quite so self-loathing, but it works in this story. Once again, a well written chapter.

Wow-pretty intense first chapter. "a shuddering shadow of the man she knew"-that line really got to me.

Simply amazing. You rly took their relationship to a whole other level and steered it away from the storyline of the usual fanfics. I rly like your writing as well. Irene and Sherlock characters dont seem off at all. Cant wait to start the sequel to this story. But I cant help but notice you havent updated it in a year. Are you planning to?
