Oh very lovely! I really enjoyed this, especially the letters.

[mistyzeo]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun playing with the letters, in particular.

[holyfant]

I enjoyed this a lot. The affection is palpable between them. :) I also like your take on Mary!

[mistyzeo]

Thank you so much! I was anxious about that avenue re: Mary, but I'm glad I did it. :D

This is lovely - I'm always happy to have a bit of headcanon to smooth over any rough patches and here you've solved Mary and The Lion's Mane in one fell swoop and I shall forever read them knowing that this is what really happened!

[mistyzeo]

Haha! Perfect. I'm glad I could help. :D

[dreamtimegirl]

Hee~! This is wonderful! :)

[mistyzeo]

Thank you so much!

That was the sweetest thing I have ever read. I sat here with a smile on my face.

Thank you so much for my little Watson story. I do love him so. And I simply LOVE your Holmes, especially as Watson sees him.

Their relationship is beautiful and simple and complicated all at the same time. I adore your take on Mary and how wonderfully cheerful the story was, even it its more bittersweet moments.

This was the perfect Holmestice gift, thank you so much. So very much!

AGGGGH! I forgot to say! - I ADORED your canon references too, btw. I love, love, love it when there are mentions in passing of various canon moments and working in little details of their cases, etc. You did it so seamlessly. Wonderful!

I'm so, so thrilled you enjoyed it! I, too, am very fond of Watson and the Holmes he adores, so it's always a pleasure to write him in different ways. This was a treat to write. Thanks for the prompts and ideas!
