Heart breaking knowing their whole story, but still beautiful

It's interesting to see the differences, and how the story took their own turn. I do prefer the story's version, but this chapter was a nice addition too :)

Happy sigh.
So perfect.
This story story was freaking amazing and I love it and I should have read it years ago, ...but I'm glad I could read it in a one box because the cliffies would have killed me :P

Ps. That one line about Jim Moriarty form our verse disappearing. I know he disappeared in canon too, but in this universe... with people disappearing having such a consequences... Sherlock and Molly hadn't checked if Holmes really died, Jim form the other world, although in the side of angels, is as psychopathic and sociopathic as ours, who's to say they haven't decided to get the consulting criminal there?

This chapter was EVERYTHING! Their talk, sherlock's anxiety and confusion, and longing and and and Molly! Bamf, fabulous, extraordinary Molly! Yes to all! Perfection!

I KNEW IT! A dream! Hah! But ...they still hadn't ensured Holmes is really dead, they just assumed... now I'm nervous

Oh, I was so sure Molly would call Sherlock. I just realised I don't headcanon Molly and John ha ing any really deep friendship, which is weird, considering she had been probably helping him with Rosie, but I think there is no confiding in between them, or definitely not from Molly's side...because yeah, I still think John is holding a grudge over TRF... hm... (sorry for the tangent)
I liked their talk, Molly and John's, it was nice to read :) unexpected but good unexpected:)

Is John a shrewd judge of human nature? ...oh, God... I might actually have a mild aversion of the character, up to a certian amount of ...bashing of it? How? But seriosuly, I wonder fis post s4 John can be called a shrewd judge of character. Hm...

Anyway, I loved Molly focused chapter, enjoyed Jolly brotp and, remember the slow burn debate, the second part is ...turning slow burn...ish :P

I still maintain that the machine should have been created in our world, just so Holmes was wrong about his assessment:P also nothing keeps bugging me, how did the other world's Smythe know about Sherlock the Cosnukting Detective? Was there some kind of hm, preview on his machine to alternative realities? Could he watch them like movies or so?

Part of me is sad Greg decided to stay in this other world, but the other part isnt at all surprised. That is so him!

I'm so glad Sherlock knows Mycroft would neve sacrifice him for politics, Holmes Brothers FTW! :) and loved how Sherlock wondered what his parents (parents! Yay!) Would think of Molly ;)

I'm bad person, because I always enjoy reading Sherlock's struggles, especially emotional ones over a certian pathologist of his. ;) but Sherlock's danger night was so heart wrenching. Never thought I'll say it after s4 l, but thank god for John Watson. Although it was Molly keeping him fro sending it. So thank god for his friends then :)

Speaking of John, I wonder if post s4 would give him this type of speech, somehow I...see it other way round now, Sherlock being the wise wone while John does asshole things... how have things changed. But the speech here is good and does for their characters :)

So Sherlock is dawdling and the last part is a dream, although I did notice they haven't checked if Holmes was dead, just assumed, that was remiss if them, hope it wont come to but them in the ass. Unless is already has happened and this is not a dream! Aaaaaah!

Oh, Sherlock, it's so funny to read his rationalisations, and puzzlement over his feelings, and his assumptions a our how Mly would feel about him. I get where he's coming from, but he couldn't be more wrong (probably). Also the snapping of the whip. Powerful. And the decorations - very telling.

The adjustment period. Well, I know I'm unrealistic writer here myself, but I always gloss over this part and want my characters to live ever after, so it's good to be reminded that adjustment period is needed ...for both Sherkock and Molly :)

And the key! Sherlock is all about gestures than words, hm?

Ah! You are so evil! Lulling us into sense of security! Then the paragraph starting with Sherlock being unable to spot the danger and bam! Adrenaline! Heart beat accelerating! To much! :P

Oh no! I was so hoping Jim would survive! That ...he would take over Holmes ...but turn his empire into good. ...and then the Professor sacrificed himself nobly for Jim. Such a rollercoaster
I tell you too much! :P also very clever stalemate! I love it!

And YES! I'm so happy Molly took out Holmes. I was expecting it, but it was still VERY satisfying.

You know what, I wish this story was filmed, and that Ben played both Holmes and Sherlock. God, he could pull it off, the cold, ruthless, heartless evil in Holmes, making us all quake in fear, and Sherlock sweet awkwardness, dorkiness and loveliness.

Oh, I loved Jim's pov in this chaoterz and the ambiguity of his character, him seeing the potential to be a crime lord to rival Consulting Criminal of his universe. And his sociopathic tendencies, and mercurial nature. Fun and chilling at the same time lol

God, I was so sure the life'sdoor would open and Hopmes would stand there with cruel evil smirk on his face, thank god those were only his goons.

I have to say, for a moment, when Sherlock had asked Molly to trust him in previous chapter, I thought he had already met with Jim and knew he was coming to the rescue. But I was right about him being a mole! Yay!

And it was heartwarming to see Molly and Sherlock banter over whose instincts they should follow, funny as well lol

Hm, after learning the connection with Carl Powers, Jim Moriarty, I wonder how much mirror!Molly would have affected the mirror verse if she were alive. Will we learn more about it?

Finally Sherlock and Molly can talk! God, how I missed our awkward, sweet Sherlock! And Molly's self loathing is so painful to read, that she would sacrifice herself for them in a heartbeat, well, thank god neither Sherlock nor John would allow her to do it. Also it was good to learn what Sherlock and John were up to trying to get Molly back.

I wonder if Greg survives, or if he goes with them to our universe. I can see him staying in his own to do some good in it.

And Jim Moriarty! I was waiting for his appearance! Now is he a friend or a foe? Greg's second plant in Holmes' close proximity or a rival criminal?

"There are two possibily three chapters after this one and the story is done" says the Author in chapter 12 ...out of 23 lol :P

But, hey, more for me to enjoy ;D

Also, I just realised there Jamie who maybe come to the rescue...? Hm...

I sometimes forget this isn't our cinnamon roll Greg, but his colder, hardened version (even if he is on the good side). And yet, he still is the good lovely man deep inside.

Oh, God, I Hope John survives this...

And Jamie! I knew he had potential! :P

God but I hate Holmes aka mirror!Sherlock

Wow, how will they get out of this predicament. Is there anyone to help them in this universe anymore?

Also this story is amazing, I should have read it ages ago :P

Omg omg omg! This chapter had me sitting on the edge of my seat!

Our Sherlock is here! And Molly had no clue! And he has been there for a while and John too, I have so many questions!

And of course mirror!Sherlock manipulated the situation! God, Shelrock will have a hard nut to crack! Going against himself but a version that is ruthless, empathy-less, evil. I know they will win but it looks like it's going to be a difficult war.

Im buckling my belt, ready for the bumpy ride then!

I was so sure Shelrock would torture Sally for information and force Molly to watch, and yet, that simple precise shot was exactly in character for mirror!Sherlock.

And God, the branding...

Mirror!Sherlock is a villain. Heartless, cruel, evil.
