oh this,... I really thought this would be something funny. He named the cat "cat", for Gods sake! And you had to break my heart all over again.

(Already voted and you know what? Since the stories that are number 1 and 2 currently only have 321b words together, I think they should let both win. Just saying.)

Oh, sweetie, where do you get these brilliant ideas from? This is so gorgeous. And I'm not just saying that because of your lovely footnote, for which I thank you with all my heart (although I'm rather visualising Nick Briggs in his Dalek voice saying, "SHER-LOCK HAS-N'T HAD A CASE FOR EIGHT-EEN DAYS AND IS JUST A-BOUT READ-Y TO EX-TER-MIN-ATE SOME-ONE". ;-)

*reads the title*
Oooh, it's going to be philosophical and intellectual.
*reads the prompt*
Or not.

“I called him ‘cat’.”
Well, it's straight and logical, it suits Sherlock. (Hey, don't misquote me, I didn't say Sherlock was straight! God forbid.)

“People kept saying that I had no soul because I never cried or laughed. And that I was a devil’s child because I knew too much. Faust gave his soul away for knowledge, amongst other things. I thought if I was Faust, he could be Mephistophilis.”
Oh dear. It was funny and light, and now... It's not anymore. Poor child. You can sense so much grief hidden behind Sherlock's casual words... Hug him right now, John! Change this "hurt without comfort" for a "hurt and comfort" one! But I love your "sophisticated title is sophisticated" tag. :D

Pst! In your post to sherlockbbc you typed Sherlock initianting sex! :-)

LOL, we should write a crossover where my Lucifer and your Mephistopheles meet :D Sherlock's kitten would have quite a lot to tell :p xx

Awww, poor Sherlock. I just can imagine how John's face fell when he heard that sad story.
