Oh, thank you so much for reading this, despite your dislike of crossovers!

I'm so glad (and relieved!) that Bodie and Doyle seemed compelling to you, despite the fact you didn't know them. To be honest, they're quite different from canon, anyway; the UK series ran from 1977-1983, so I've aged/matured them significantly (and assumed that Cowley, originally their boss, has passed away, as did the actor who portrayed him).

It's wonderful to hear that the sadness came through, as I really did hope to focus on missed chances. And I did love the idea of seeing the Sherlock gents from outside, for once. (Hurry up, John, indeed!)

I think what men would like to hear most is "You are a good man." I like how you applied that to both Lestrade and his secret dad.

I'm so happy this worked! And I agree: I can't think of a much higher compliment, or one a man would want to receive more. Doyle was something of the John of The Professionals, the moral compass, so the fact this comes from him carries a lot of weight.

And most importantly, thank you for the wonderfully kind words about my trying new things with my writing. That means so much to me! You can't imagine. I'm really grateful to you for your encouragement. Thank you.
