LOL! Naturally! It's all about HIM. Even at somebody else's funeral. Thanks for reading!

thegameison_sh is now on hiatus until after S2 airs in the US -- which apparently still isn't till May:(

Go you! Yes, thankfully it's out there, for we faithful US fans!:) We are treated rather second-class by the BBC and PBS.
No spoilers here, but dedicated shippers like me are pondering La Adler mightily at the moment . . .;-)

“There were some departures from the traditional service,” indeed. Oh, this is brilliant. I love what Sherlock did, and especially why he did it. I do hope that this is the "wake-up call" Lestrade needs. It certainly sounds like it's working.

Just gorgeous!

[ghislainem70]

Thanks so much for that!!! *blushes* I hoped it wouldn't seem too horribly disrespectful for even Sherlock to do this, but the ordinary rules of decorum don't seem to apply to Sherlock.

I am sure Lestrade will now turn a corner and be up fighting crime in no time:) Your kind praise is so very much appreciated, dear friend.

[ghislainem70]

Thanks so much! We know how Sherlock *loves* to be dramatic. But I also think he's quite right, glad you do, too:)

Oh, this is great! Sometimes I just want to slap Sherlock for his lack of sensitivity, but this played out in fine fashion including the (almost-tender?) whisper into Lestrade's ear. The ghost of a smile lets us know Lestrade is going to be all right. Finally, of course (such a broken record I am) my thoughts throughout were of John and he was right where I thought he would be, the dear thing, "pale and exhausted." *happy sighs*

I have the hardest time with the 750 word limit, I always want to write about, like, the bomb scene, John doing the surgery (naturally! So noble), Sherlock planting the gloves, et etc. . . Thanks so much for reading my little ficlet and for your praise, as always,it means a lot <3

With all the nuttiness going around n this verse this week I would almost rather see Sherlock being tender to Lestrade(!) than to a certain person who I like to think of as She Who Must Not Be Named . . .XD
