I read this all in one go and regret absolutely nothing. Clever, funny, heartbreaking, and just so amazing. Absolutely worth the read.

This goes right up there with The Quiet Man by ivyblossom and The Fabric of Life by holyfant as one of my all-time favorite return fics.

I'm one chapter in, and am going to thank you now before I become totally absorbed, as I can tell I'm going to be, and forget my own name, let alone to come back here and say thanks.

So, thanks in advance for a fantastic rec.

I'm only halfway through the first chapter, but I had to pop back and tell you this is amazing. Thank you!

I second this rec!! This was an amazing new take to Johnlock that has stuck with me so much I keep re-reading bits of it. This will be one of those fics that I go back and re-read now and again.
