What a fabulous continuation! I love the idea of John having a place that's secret from both Sherlock and Mycroft, bless the man. He deserves a secret or two.

Thank you for such a lovely, gentle read... and Sherlock in sequins is still making me grin *g*

I'm so pleased you liked it. One part of me wanted to leave the story as it was and the rest up to each reader's imagination, but I kept having ideas about what "did" happen next, so...

It is a fun image and Sherlock likes disguises. He just didn't realise John liked them, too.

Mmmm.... delicious Sherlock in sequins... Love John surprising Sherlock. Nobody's perfect, he he...
And the "After tea, though" is... really great!
Thanks for the nice moment!

I am delighted you liked the "after tea" remark. I was laughing when I wrote it! :-D (The image is so evocative...)

Still, tonight I had assumed a role. We’ve been doing that a lot lately and sometimes we find a truth in the midst of the acting. Is that why you like to do it?

I just love the mood you've built up in this; we're among such familiar surroundings, but they're seen through this haze of night and desire, and so there's a sense of unreality--magical, but maybe ephemeral. I also like the way John parcels out his secrets one by one, keeping Sherlock's mind engaged, the puzzle is also part of the seduction. First person works really well here!

Are you working on something else for this fest?

So, so pleased you like it!! (You felt it seemed a reasonable development from the first section?) This was a strange one: it wouldn't wait its turn to be written and yet it didn't flow either and the rough draft moved from first person, to second, to a sort of close third. It's done now though and seems to be satisfied!

Are you working on something else for this fest?

*mumble, mumble* "Ye-es." (Inspects floor, scuffs shoe and is distracted by fascinating events outside the window.)

It is perhap half-written and more thought about, but the one above jumped the queue. Fortunately, I've been assigned Week 3 for posting. Nothing like writing up to the deadline or anything!

I don't know if reasonable is the right word :D It certainly seemed like a natural development!

Since all I ever seem to do is write up to the deadline, I'm certainly not going to criticize ;) I'm looking at this challenge:

I have a very vague idea and it would be a real change of pace, but on the other hand, I do have other things to work on. What to do, what to do....

I was eyeing that one, too, and slapped my own wrist. Of course, now I've gone back and read the rules more carefully and it's even more tempting. The last day of sign-ups is after my Sherlockmas story is due, so perhaps. Now I'm thinking of a cross-over or a...

Oh, dear oh dear! (It would be fun!)

Keep me posted on what you decide!
