Stunningly beautiful. I love the double POVs and Watson's and Holmes' anguish was painful and lovely to read all at the same time.

Thanks for sharing! :)

thank you :-)

I really should be going to bed and/or watching the film I need to return tomorrow, but heh, sod tomorrow's matinee! Who needs sleep?

skylockee March 3 2007, 02:03:40 UTC

Aha :D Forget sleep and concentrate on the greater good : movies. XD

...Is it bad I misspelled "concentrate" as "Concentrade"? Lestrade is sneaking into my typing again, it seems.

no, not bad... just a little weird :-P

Whether the film is any good is the big question, I've watched two crap films this week :-(

Without him I am only Sherlock Holmes, but with him I am so much more.

A most interesting little fic! I really like the difficulty Watson and Holmes have in showing their emotions. Excellent work!~Sophia

That's the problem with men, they don't talk to each other. They should have had a long heart to heart which involved crying and cuddling, instead of just keeping everything bottled up and being bloody miserable!

hehe.

Glad you liked it.

*weeps* Good god, angst first thing in the morning is no fair! *sniffle*

These were fabulous. I love the dual POV on the same events, and how they're both so freakin' deep in denial that they have no idea they love each other. I'm finding it hard to resist the urge to reach through the computer screen and shake them both . . .

Ahem. You know, continuation would be a good thing. Maybe a bit of realization and reconciliation? Just a thought . . . *sends army of bunnies and hedgehogs your way*

sherlock2040 March 3 2007, 12:41:38 UTC

I don't think they have a reconciliation for many years, not until at least after EMPT. They're typical men, if they actually sat down and had a conversation about how they feel they wouldn't be in this mess!

*looks around small flat which is now full of hedgehogs and bunnies*

Oh well. At least I don't have to worry about what to cook for Sunday dinner.
