I have been out of country for two weeks and there is nothing like a lovely fic to remind me of home. This was a brilliant AU of EMPT, and I just adore how you write Watson as such a BAMF. Your writing style never ceases to make me a happy reader.

Thank you so much!!! I'm just a little stunned to hear that this bit of ficcery was enough to make you a bit less homesick... that makes me very, very delighted :D I am so glad you enjoyed!

Thank you for the kind words! I am especially glad you picked up on the animalistic qualities I attempted to give Moran here... I had that tiger hunter quote from The Empty House in my head the entire time I was writing this, and I'm delighted that actually came across :D

I love your AU recreation of EMPTY. It hit all the right buttons, Holmes, Watson and Moran were all totally IC.
And the ending...well that was just pure slashy genius! Thank you!!!

Thank you!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this one and found that the characters acted like themselves (that is always my main worry when fic writing!), because it was a strange plot bunny, even by my standards.

The ending tho... I had such a devilish grin on my face when writing it ;)

Yeek! BAMF Watson for sure! I hope you had fun writing this one. I certainly liked reading this slightly different take on EMPT.

I don't know where my brain was during the composing of this fic, and am afraid to even speculate - but it pleases me very much that you liked this strange bit of ficcery :)
