Oh that's totally beautiful, I love how you managed to fit all ten pieces into one actual piece of fic, instead of ten different stories. But my favorite is the ending, Sherlock running to get to John was really wonderful. :)

The music helped, lol. I hit play and "Nothing Ever Happens" came on and I was like... Yup. It's a sign, lol.

Thank you :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am amazed! You managed to turn an 'unblocking trick' into a beautiful fic and the different parts fit so well with the songs (well, they worked with the song I know).

It's sad that Sherlock misses John, but he misses him so beautifully that I enjoyed the separation. The moment with Mycroft was very sweet, I love how they subtly expressed that they kind of missed each other (Mycroft, you big softy with your gifts).

It think that's my favourite part: He's struggling today. He's been struggling for many todays lately (more like everyday, but he hides it well, most of the time). There has to be something magic about you; you take words, regular words, and you put them in ways that make me shiver. And I enjoy that Moriarty asks Sherlock to remove his shoes, this height complex in such a bad man is... I don't know what it is, but I like it. It's like Voldemort being scared of bees (I had written beads. BEADS ( ... )

Thank you :) I'm glad you like it! Lol.

Voldemort and bees? What? LOL LOL.

Google the Kalahari desert night sky... beautiful ♥

Also, I've been at Octo in The Arches. It was fun, in a way. I only ever went once, lol.

Oh wow it is beautiful! I would love to see it in fic; Sherlock and John in Africa, chillin' with the meerkats, havin' sex under the stars doing very important stuff.

This is so interesting. I love your stories. I have never heard of doing this before. I have to try it, but somehow I don't think my 80's music and show tunes will lead to something as wonderful as you have here.

LOL It was very difficult when the two dance/trance songs came on but... Well.

Thank you very much :)
