Oh, whew! I was quite nervous about this one (which is why I sat on it for two months before posting it here), so it's wonderful to hear that it "hurt so good." I looked on it as something of an experiment in style, so it's especially thrilling to know that the prose worked well for you.

It's tremendously gratifying to know that the sequence with Mrs Hudson made you genuinely worried for her, as I'd hoped - and relieved, when Sherlock couldn't let her go through with it.

Sherlock's desperate attempts to learn from the recordings, what he can't learn, what he does learn (about Lestrade and Watson personally), so very deeply IC.

Oh, thank you so much! It feels foreign and plain wrong to imagine him as helpless, so I'm grateful that his reactions here still seem in character to you. I'm doing a little internal "happy dance" now, knowing that the ending struck the right note of heightened strain, too.

All of this is so helpful as well as heartening. I can't thank you enough for this terrific feedback. Thank you so much, my friend, for reading and commenting! It's lovely of you.
