Wonderful. I love outsider points-of-view, and this is a great set showing a lot of different ways people saw Amarisa. I love them all. Anderson's in particular surprised me but it was perfect and perfectly frustrating. Roy's and Gillian's were each heartbreaking in their own way. Amelia's just pleased me. And Sherlock's caps them all perfectly: Amarisa is beautiful even if most people don't see it.

Thanks! I had a lot of notes about people's potential reactions to Amarisa, but they just didn't seem to fit in my other story, so I thought I'd make them a story all on their own :D

Oh, I hope there is more of this. (Although the ending seemed to come at the right time, so maybe I am just greedy. I think Dark Materials is a perfect cross for Sherlock-world.

Thanks! And there won't be more of this story - it's just a tiny offshoot from 'The Republic of Heaven'. I touched on people's reactions to Amarisa in that story, but I had so many extra notes about various people's feelings on the matter that I just decided to make them into a story all their own!

Lovely, as always. A very interesting look into Amarisa and John's life. Thanks for this!

Thanks! I had heaps of notes on possible reactions to Amarisa, and eventually I just decided to make them into a story :D

Amazing. Loved each and every viewpoint, and what they took from the form - although poor John and his dad! And of course, Sherlock's was lovely. Big and warm and loyal indeed :DDDD

Thanks! In a throwaway line in 'The Republic of Heaven', I mentioned that even John's family had trouble accepting Amarisa, and I felt that just begged for expansion.

And of course, the whole thing was set up to contrast with Sherlock's POV, who thinks Amarisa is awesome and beautiful and just perfect :D
