De-anoning here to give you the praise you deserve. You had me laughing out loud in the start (getting starry eyed at the references to our earlier conversations, and also getting totally blind for what I was in for), wrinkling my eyebrows in the middle (what the hell is wrong with Basil??? discombobulate seems a fitting word for my emotions there), and grinning like a fool with Ratigan in the end.
*third read-through finished*
I do know from some other fandoms you write for, that you have a firm grip on the dark side. This was certainly a very dark ride at times, but it agrees beautifully with Basil's close relative: Holmes', canon, who most certainly lets his mind's goals outweigh his respect for the body. Aaand beautifully turn the tables on his opponents by it while simultaneously giving himself an ultimate high. Chinese firecrackers indeed.
Wonderful, wonderful work, I'm more than satisfied by this! :))) *takes a deep bow before scurrying away to save and store. "myy preecioussss"*

GAHHHHH. *BLUSH BLUSH* I am SO FLATTERED that you gave this story so much time and attention!! I am also extremely amazed that you've somehow managed to mention just about everything I was trying to achieve with this piece. Since the story is written in third-person restricted POV (from Ratigan's angle), I wasn't sure if Basil's unusual behavior would ultimately make sense. You've totally hit the nail on the head!! I draw a lot of my Basil from Holmes, especially what you said about the goals of the mind outweighing his respect for the body. Really, I'm just so super thrilled that you see what I see. :DDD
And the title, right? Gotta dig the title. Thanks, Sherlock Holmes soundtrack!! XDDD
I am so pleased that you're pleased. This fic wouldn't have gelled together without such a dynamite prompt, so you're as much to thank as I am. Thank you!! <333

I love well balanced darkfics. Writing them is a very difficult task, with risks of ugly falls to each side of a very narrow ledge. You manage this seemingly effortlessly.
