Thank you! I do love short-form fic, it's a special challenge for someone like me who prefers her stories sprawly. :)

Oh wow, that's such a beautiful image!

Ah, thank you! Sherlock is such a contradiction--a ball of chaos that creates order. :)

Oh, oh, this is gorgeous and so... oh! *flails* Just... Sherlock being unable to see what he does, but John noticing it and admiring it and..! Those last lines were just so beautiful.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

I love the idea that Sherlock--well, he doesn't actually give a damn about order and meaning, and yet his quest for the truth does make the world a better place...and John quietly sees it...

I'm so glad you liked this! I find the 221b form a real challenge, but I like to give them a try sometimes...

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I find writing short-form fic really hard, but these two are very inspiring indeed... :)
