Good god man, you have no idea how much I love this story! And I have no idea if you're just lulling us into a false sense of security or if Sherlock and John are actually going to have a somewhat happy ending! (And if smut is coming or not, hehehe)

Love this! And you for writing this!

And I have no idea if you're just lulling us into a false sense of security or if Sherlock and John are actually going to have a somewhat happy ending!

Hurray! That's what I aim for. :P

Thanks much!

Oh it was fantastic that you sent this in a watery scene, with echoes of the Reichanbach Falls! What an amazing piece of theatre this was - the struggles, the words, the hope, the misery and then the final words

"Lestrade eyes the tunnel behind them for a moment. “Dead?” he asks John.

John nods."

I'm only hoping, hoping, hoping that will be true and they can all get their lives (and the opera!) back again.

Finally finally finally finally FINALLY!

I feel like I've been waiting so long for these boys to recognize that they will make each other happy! Of course Moriarty would play Cupid! ;-)

Moriarty really didn't do that on purpose. At all. His ghost is peeved.

Wow, this is an amazing gripping work! The world you create in this opera house feels so fleshed out and real, I feel like I could step in and see a performance there myself. I am just blown away at the rich details of Sherlock's great opera - bravo! But oh, the angst. I am hoping for a fabulous reunion and make-up sex to make all the pain and suffering worthwhile. ;)
