I'm so gratified that you enjoyed it.

It was FANTASTIC. The first part alone is so very relevant to my interests and I just kept getting more and more emotionally invested in it. I hope you never stop~~~ *\o/*

Seriously? No, really? I read this whole series in one go and my brain was FRIED. I can't WAIT to read the rest of it, and I've been reccing it all over the place. :)

Really. I was never much recced until this part of the series was posted. I write about difficult subjects that a lot of people won't give a chance because they are often not treated well in fan fic. That was my theory, anyway. My current theory is that this new fic has made Sherlock much more human and accessible to most people; people read what they can identify with. I was writing him as the hyper-rational Aspie, but now we get to see that he isn't the way he is only because of genetics, and that he has more in common with everyone else, emotionally, than we might have imagined.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks for posting. I'm tracking the author's tag for this series but for some reason I didn't get a notification. Excited to read!

Thank you for the rec! I hadn't realized there was a new story in this series. And what an amazing addition. I was glad to see more sequels are planned as well.
