I enjoyed this! I'm not too much in the Sherlock fandom anymore, so I'm both curious and concerned about what's going on in there since the special- even more so, given what you said.

There's also a bit of a debate about how much is real. Those are the major things I've been seeing, anyway!

Thanks so much for reading this one, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm still watching :) I'd like to get back into it since I have a couple of old WIPs still kicking around, but long hiatuses get me every time, you know?

Yeah, I can see those criticisms, though I did enjoy the ep. I loved the spin you put on it here.
