NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

(I'm otherwise speechless)

(ETA: The "no" is to Sherlock, not you!)

*cackles*

I'm pleased to have hooked you! I'll have the conclusion up as soon as I'm released from hospital ;)

Neat. I do wonder where this is going. John, Lestrade do take care.

[impishtubist]

Oh, good, I'm glad that I have you curious!

[canonisrelative]

Yes, oh yes! I am so glad to see this one in print :) The slow burn, the gradual build, the warning signs, and overall Sherlock's frustration and helplessness, feeling still like he has to go it alone...it's such a bleak and bitter (and perfect!) snapshot of what it's like to live inside Sherlock's head. Well, well done :):):)

Thank you so much, dear! That means so much. Thank you for your support throughout writing this and the help in cleaning it up. Anything good in this ficlet is due to you and your efforts!

I had to read Canon's first. Sorry for the delay

[impishtubist]

Don't ever apologize for not commenting right away (or not commenting at all!) It means a lot that you take the time to do it in the first place.

I'm glad this bump in the road feels realistic to you, even though Sherlock is making a massive mistake by not leaning on those close to him. Yes, it is difficult for him to find middle ground - it's all or nothing for him. I'm glad that works for you.

I hope the conclusion to this arc is up to your standards! I would hate to make you drive all the way up here to yell at me ;) Thank you for your feedback and for your good wishes!

Awww, CRAP! I do NOT like where this is headed. It's marvelous, as usual, you understand, I'm just worried about John and Cal and Sherlock. This could come dangerously close to ruining what they've built. I mean, Lestrade's awesome, but even my man can't be everywhere and help everyone at once. And it looks like this is something Sherlock's gonna have to work out/through for himself (though not without support). Eager for more!
Take care! (HUGS)

[impishtubist]

Oh, good! I had intended for you to find this heading down an uncomfortable road. I'm glad that part worked! And yeah, even Lestrade can't hold everything together all the time. It's going to take a lot to come back from this!

Thank you for this feedback and for the hugs!
