*sobs like a baby*

This is so amazing and so sad and AAUGGHH!!!! I just want John to hug him...
Is there any chance that this will end happily? *looks hopeful*

[warriorbot]

Thanks for the kind words - ask me at 10.30pm tomorrow. At the moment, I fear not. I strongly suspect it's all going to go a bit Reichenbach Falls tomorrow... :(

Of course you could always just go back and read "Love at First Sight" and pretend The Blind Banker never happened. I'd suggest that as an immediate antidote.

Here, look, Sherlock will be okay I promise...

awh the ending, makes me so sad ;_;
poor sherlock

[warriorbot]

I know. And have you seen the *spoiler* photo of him with his *spoilery spoiler whisper* violin. We know it's coming.

I suspect that The Great Game will be a bigger angst-fest than anything any of us have written so far. And that's saying something.

if it's anything like the DW finale, I'm sure we'll be dead by the end of the episode...

[warriorbot]

Oh God, we are SO gunna be SO dead!

I'm going for a walk. The obsessing is killing me.

Just read my way through the three stories so far. I really like them! Love your Mrs Hudson & her thoughts on the pair of them, & find it ridiculously sweet how smitten Sherlock is with John right from the start. I'm still holding out hope for a happy ending, but I suspect that there isn't going to be one... But brilliant, nonetheless :)

[warriorbot]

TYVM!

I so want to get these two back on a happy track. Lots of Chinese takeaways and Bond marathons. *sigh*

[kate_lear]

Well, I'm a complete sucker for happy ending, so I'll definitely agree with you there! But either way, I'm curious to read the next part, if one is forthcoming...?

[warriorbot]

I come bearing, well, not really an ending more of a side note, but Sherlock's gonna get through this:

Then we just have to see what Gatiss puts him through tonight.

Awww! Poor Sherlock...
There will be more yes? That makes it all better? pretty please...

[warriorbot]

For you - anything! Let's see where tomorrow's episode takes us.

[warriorbot]

Okay, it's not a happy ending but the C for all this H is here (f-locked for now) and I'd love to know what you think...

I just joined 221b_slash, and have been reading what's there. Have just now read through the first three parts of this, and am really enjoying it. I loves Mrs Hudson, and the way you characterise her is great. You've given her some interesting thoughts and insights into Sherlock's situation. And the situation itself, while heartbreaking, is so nicely written. Plus, I'm a sucker for angst so if this ends sadly I won't be overly disappointed, haha :)

Thanks for sharing this with us. Can't wait for the next installment!

[warriorbot]

TYVM. So glad I'm not the only angstwhore!

If you liked the angst in 'Stalemate' might like the sort of follow up I penned last night:
