Yeah, I'm gonna be over here CRYING MY FREAKING EYES OUT BECAUSE JEEZ.

On the other hand, now I feel like writing/drawing angst again. *faceplant*

[tellytubby101]

I♥U, too. :P TEARS ARE GOOD FOR THE SOUL. :D

There is no such thing as too much angst. COME TO THE DARK SIDE~

[linneakou]

I'll admit they were good-ish tears as opposed to TEARS OF RAGE AT MY FELLOW AMERICAN HUMAN FEMALES OF YOUNG ADULT AGE, but mnyeh, details.

I'M ALREADY THERE. *sobs, poses dramatically*

[tellytubby101]

Sorry, darling. I'm Australian. ;P

Also, all your Sailor Moon icons are making me so nostalgic. :-*

The tears. They are real. Coherency. It is gone.

This was beyond angsty.

(but it's a good hurt)

Yesss, then my work here is done. *Evil laughter.* Thanks for commenting. :)

That was good. I don't think that cannon!John would do that but that is what fanfiction is for! I actually did not expect that John would kill himself, so I was a little shocked. And a very small part of me is satisfied that Sherlock witnessed what he caused John to do.

Then again. It is possible that it was not John's gun that fired. Maybe Mycroft's minion got there on time and the only way to stop John was to shoot him somewhere... Make it less fatal than a bullet in the head.

Edit: Nice fic for Vday by the way.

I definitely agree that canon!John is so much more of a fighter. He would survive, live through the melancholy and the pain of loss. However, writing someone going mad is fascinating in its own right. :D

I tried to purposely echo how John witnessed Sherlock die. To double the angst of it all, I suppose. >:)

And yes! I only noticed after posting that it was Valentine's Day and I was posting a horrifically evil fic. Ahahaha. XD

Wolfy, I know you loved it. >:DDD

[fantomeq]

I LOVE IT!!! You are even more dark and twisted than I am, and it is great. Be my valentine! I worship you.

I love the idea that so much was going on in John's mind and that he managed to hide it so well, mostly because I've been in that sort of situation. I almost yelled "No!" right out loud at the end.

*Sends you chocolate and roses and one of those stuffed, fluffy teddy bears.*

Yeah, I've been close to that spot too - where you try so hard to make everyone think you're okay when you're really breaking up inside. :(
