Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am amazed! You managed to turn an 'unblocking trick' into a beautiful fic and the different parts fit so well with the songs (well, they worked with the song I know).

It's sad that Sherlock misses John, but he misses him so beautifully that I enjoyed the separation. The moment with Mycroft was very sweet, I love how they subtly expressed that they kind of missed each other (Mycroft, you big softy with your gifts).

It think that's my favourite part: He's struggling today. He's been struggling for many todays lately (more like everyday, but he hides it well, most of the time). There has to be something magic about you; you take words, regular words, and you put them in ways that make me shiver. And I enjoy that Moriarty asks Sherlock to remove his shoes, this height complex in such a bad man is... I don't know what it is, but I like it. It's like Voldemort being scared of bees (I had written beads. BEADS?!)

The last three parts are lovely, I adore how much of Sherlock's thoughts are about John and I want to hug him so badly because... awww he wants to go home and home is John and I wished for John to be there waiting for him and of course he was, dear him. Sherlock's reaction at the end was both heartbreaking and sweet, I love that they're together again :-)

...Yeah, so I googled The Arches and Octopussy. I'm still not sure if putting drunk people in an inflatable structure is the best or worst idea ever.

Thank you :) I'm glad you like it! Lol.

Voldemort and bees? What? LOL LOL.

Google the Kalahari desert night sky... beautiful ♥

Also, I've been at Octo in The Arches. It was fun, in a way. I only ever went once, lol.
