*claps in delight*

Oh, my, but this continues to be delicious. God I love it when they fight :D

[impishtubist]

You're silly ;-) And thank you! Glad you're enjoying as a reader :)

Oh, gosh, let me love you. This is simply stunning.

[impishtubist]

Oh, thank you! I'm glad that you think so. That's very kind.

Sigh, lovely!

[impishtubist]

Thank you, dear!

Proper non-phone comment: it's the inimate details that I particularly like - Lestrade waking up having spent a drunken night on the sofa with vague memories of someone soothing him; Lestrade telling himself tales of how Sherlock acquired all his scars.

Oh, you are so sweet to come back and comment on this again! Thank you. I'm so happy you liked all those little moments. Thank you for coming back and telling me that. :)

Sherlock is still falling, he never stopped falling. How to help him set foot on solid ground again? Upturning hard truths to see the other side. Adding the weight of kisses. And words that are promises.
Thank you

[impishtubist]

No, thank you. I'm really glad that this second part worked for you.

Better is not all right. Will they be all right, please?

[impishtubist]

Perhaps...

*hoping hard*

And my favorite line is: '“Neither do you, you son of a bitch,” Sherlock bellows,' because only Angelo, being at a bit of a remove, has been able to see past his own pain to see all of Sherlock's, really.
