That is so unutterably sad. Are you trying to make me cry? You have captured the pain and the draining effect this has had so very well. And then the final scene, when at least John has fallen asleep, words fail me.

[impishtubist]

I'm sorry! I'm not actively trying to make you cry, but I'm pleased that this moved you so much. Thank you. I'm so glad that the final scene was effective. Thank you for the feedback!

Wanted to find the right words to comment, but it seems I've run out of them. This is beautiful.

[impishtubist]

Thank you!

talk about an angst one can wrap oneself in. am not sure how you manage it but, again, as always; voice, detail, and emotion are used at their best. kudos for such stellar work.

now off to find that tissue.

I'm sorry to have broken your heart! But thank you. I like to think that each of these characters occupies a portion of Sherlock's heart, but I can see also where he would subdivide them into the categories you mention.

Just beautiful. I wholly believe the Look after John. Well done, you.

Thank you so very much, my friend. That means a lot to hear from you. I'm so pleased you liked the final text from Sherlock.
