Oh shit I didn't see that coming! This is so well written and I love how you portray their relationship.

[impishtubist]

Oh, thank you so much! That's very kind.

This is so clever! At first, I assumed that Sherlock's insistence on texting was a humourous example of him being stubborn and trying to exert control over Lestrade. And, of course, it was funny. However, you then went and turned the tables, revealing that gift Sherlock has of always being a few moves before everyone else. I mean, he obviously knew that either he or Lestrade might one day be in a situation where texting was the only means of communication. All the same, it's typical of Sherlock to gloat about being right despite being trapped under a beam with a broken leg. *g*

And not only that, but it was his subtle (or not-so-subtle) way of telling Lestrade he wanted him around for more than just cases. :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. It's so very kind for you to take the time to do this on each of my stories, and I'm so grateful for the feedback. It really helps. Thank you for being amazing, my dear!

I'm so glad to hear that! And those would be typical texts between the boys, wouldn't they? Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Very powerful imagery in this - you ought to be proud. Brilliantly done

[impishtubist]

Oh, goodness, thank you so much!

OMG I almost couldn't read the end. I had to skip ahead! I love your Sherlock and Lestrade.

[impishtubist]

I'm so terribly sorry! I didn't mean for it to be as angsty as it was, but then that sort of happened. Thank you for reading regardless, and taking the time to comment. That means so much!

[grassle]

As if I'd miss one of your Sherlock-Lestrade's, angst or not!

Oh, I don't even know what to say. Thank you for that! You are too kind to me!
