Guest chapter 1 . 9/1/2019 Excellent! |
Lisa Smithers chapter 1 . 12/15/2016 Woah... I'm not sure what to make of that story. It's confusing, but intriguing. I couldn't stop reading. |
johnlock-and-marmalade chapter 1 . 5/7/2016 I read this story and, like many others, going by the other reviews, was initially very confused. Usually, if I find myself reading a confusing or incoherent piece of fan-fiction I give up and forget it, but this was different. It wasn't confusing for lack of good language or coherent plot, it was confusing in a way that I knew I was missing something; something important and genius that would change the way I read this beautiful piece of writing. So after finishing it, and feeling emotional and impressed by the touching story, even without fully understanding it, I went to the reviews and took a step back from my primary reading. This completely changed everything for me. After reading people's interpretations and considering the idea that Sherlock was in fact in a coma, trying to make sense of the sensations he was experiencing by constructing them into and elaborate reality in his mind, I re-read the story. The second time round was a thousand times more gripping and beautiful, you're writing is intelligent and gripping and I cannot possibly begin to describe just how talented you are in creating such a resonating work. I found this story by chance and am so grateful for it, I'm really quite shocked it hasn't had more recognition and recommendations. Well done, truly brilliant! |
Samzi chapter 1 . 9/25/2014 I love stories like this, all mysterious and stuff. |
Puggle chapter 1 . 5/20/2014 Fantastic piece Thank you so much for sharing |
Maara chapter 1 . 5/16/2014 Speculations on spoilers? I wish I knew what was going on! At first I thought brain tumor, and Sherlock was just deleting hospital visits and so didn't understand all the flowers. It would explain the headaches, visual/auditory distortions and erratic behavior when he destroys the table. John tells Sherlock to quite going away, I'm thinking dissociative fugue as coping mechanism. Then a lot of the reviewers said coma because of the last scene. Was everything a dream as Sherlock's brain tries to make sense of disjointed input? Then what about the hands? I could see this as coma recovery with short term memory loss. But having read it again, I'm back to thinking brain tumor/TBI denial and the last scene is Sherlock coming out of surgery? |
Anonymous chapter 1 . 4/9/2014 This is the best freaking piece of fiction ever! That ending... the twist... it's all so amazing! |

TheUltimateBookLover chapter 1 . 7/30/2013 Oh, my. This was so beautiful. I didn't get it until I read the comments, and then I went over and read the story all over again, concentrating only on the dialogue. This is incredible. |
Yume chapter 1 . 4/18/2013 I have no words for how awesome this story is. No words (THANK YOU). |
katielynn.senecal chapter 1 . 1/5/2013 This story terrifies me because I don't know what's going on and I just want Sherlock to be okay. A sequel from John? |
