NOOOOOO I HAVE TO TAKE AN EXAM. *flappy hands* really excited to read this, thanks in advance dear writer!

Oh my goodness, this is so splendid. I love the case and the way you wove in actual canon events with the fictitous fiction. I loved the adventure! and the excitement! and how Watson's old wound came back to (ahahaha) haunt them. I love how sweet they are, and how Watson knows Holmes's limits and expectations when it comes to ~romancin~ and how they play each other and tease and oh god I just love their love so much.

So sweet and wonderful! Thank you so so so much!

Oh and I LOVED Anderson making an appearance. LOLz.

I'm so happy you like it.. even though I didn't manage to include Watson's moustache! :)

But apart from that I tried to answer your prompt as thoroughly as possible. Oh, and the sex scene is a special gift; I know it's not very explicit and a bit awkward, but it's the first I've ever written, and this was the best I could manage.

And I'm not responsible for their love. That's canon, isn't it? ;)

What great fun this is. Thank you!

[mainecoon76]

Glad you like it :-)

Aw, thanks! It's a bit more Christmas-y than I intended, but this is just the season for fics with a nice fluffy ending in front of the fireplace. :-)

I for one love Anderson's cameo--actually, both he and Lestrade were pretty fabuluos. I also love the fact that it's written as a diary entry, with notes scribbled in the margins--it's easy to slip this into the canon. Lovely!

It's so much fun to see how they adapted canon in BBC Sherlock - I just had to try if it also works the other way around.. :-)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for telling me!

[lavvyan]

What a marvellous case that was! And how wonderfully you captured the canon characters! A real treat.

[mainecoon76]

Thank you! That was pretty much what I tried to achieve; I'm glad it worked for you.
