The last line killed me. So beautiful, I love it!

Why didn't you share all this perfect pieces sooner? ♥

I guess I was just a bit hesitant. I had them up on DeviantArt, but I was especially unhappy with this one. It was a weird combination of BBC and canon and it just wasn't working. After a re-write, some suggestions from Verity, and some more re-writing, I finally am satisfied with it.

And I guess part of it is that I know you guys. I mean, I care about your opinion. Most of the folks on DeviantArt are strangers to me, so it was a little easier to put myself out there in that forum.

I'm really pleased that you and other folks I've gotten to know a bit better from sign_of_fun are enjoying them.

Also, your icon fits the description of Sherlock exactly. I mean, obviously, that's how Benedict looks. But that icon hits all the points I focused on: almond eyes, long yet blunt-tipped nose, vaguely heart-shaped lips. :-)

I have to hug Verity and buy her something when I met her sometime. She's responsible for so many many wonderful things!

And I feel very honoured to be one of those that somehow matter. Very, very honoured. Thank you! *hugs*

It's a wonderful icon, isn't it? I love it. His whole expression is just wonderful and I want to hug him every time I see it. And the background colour almost matches his eyes perfectly which is even better!

Ooh! You know what I'd really, really like? I bet you can guess... it involves a camera, a coffee-shop, an embarrassed but much loved mutual friend... stop me when you've guessed it ;)

That's a hard one, but I think I figured it out. Now I have to pack every friggin device that I own that can take photos. My suitcase will be full of those. Who needs clothes? xD

verityburns September 1 2011, 08:23:10 UTC

*giggles* Well, if you don't bother with clothes I'm sure the other patrons will be WAY too distracted to notice any impromptu photography ;)

My ninja-sneaky skillz. Distract, get target, get away!

Are they ninja skillz, strictly speaking, if you're nekkid? Actually, if you were nekkid and could *still* manage to get in, take pics, and get out unnoticed, then I would say your mad ninja skillz are, indeed, unparalleled!!!

baka_yu September 1 2011, 12:41:29 UTC

They're specul woman!mad ninja skillz. Because woman!ninjas must have something that the men can't do. Muahaha, if I manage that, I take over the world and you all shall be my court!

A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!

I think I need more Blackadder icons.
