Of *course* this is your work. I read this on the Holmestice LJ, when the author's names were still hidden, and I remember thinking that this work was ripping my heart out in the most beautiful way. Now that I know it's you, my feelings make perfect sense.

The one that hurts me the most is when Sherlock wakes up to John already gone. Absolutely no way to even try to save him.

Beautifully, beautifully done.

Ah, thank you so much :) This bloody story kicked my arse up and down and back and forth...I'm surprised I finished it at all. Yes...John dying over and over makes my heart shatter into a thousand pieces. I'm just thrilled that you liked it. Thank you so much <3

Holy mother of Castiel... I love your fic, but it killed me. And Mycroft... Oh, all I can say is the title of the Crash and the Boys song: 'We hate you please die' That bastard, torturing Sherlock and killing John many times...

[cathedralcarver]

Thank you! It kinda killed me, too. Thank you :)

This is sad and horrible and awesome. <3

Sigh. Yes. Thank you. <3

Wow. This hit me like the fireworks exploding outside my window.

As unnerving as sensing that Mycroft stands behind you, unseen, with the feel of his breath on the back of your neck. Why? The way you structured this, contrasting the expectation of what was going to happen to John and Sherlock with the actual length of the sections. And although I caught on to what was going on (or so I thought), there was always the fear that I was wrong, that more twists were to come.

In short, <3 <3

Ah, thank you for this lovely, detailed feedback. I had such a hard time with this story, so basically I was just happy to finish the damn thing! Thank you for reading, and I'm really happy you liked it <3
