Thanks!

Now I want to see a fic where Holmes explains those teeth marks.

Hmmm... *contemplates* It would be interesting to see Holmes squirm as he tells some sort of story. *contemplates some more* Let's see if inspiration strikes...

Who knew that I would end up writing a whole series based on riding crop porn?

*pant* WOW. HOT. And I'm not talking the weather! Sherlock's insecurity aspect was completely unexpected and I love being surprised in a story. Watson's reaction is so HIM! Yep, let's just nip that misconception right in the old bud!

Oh, your crop!pr0n is hot, but beyond that, walks the fine (and difficult to traverse) line between erotic and romance. VERY WELL DONE! The reversal of roles was especially exciting.

And now...more please!

Thank you so much!

Sherlock's insecurity was actually an unexpected twist that happened during the writing -- He was all suddenly like "Um... major self-esteem issues here," and Watson and I were both like, "WTF?!" Then Watson's voice took over and he was like, "Oh hell no! We're not going to let MY lover flounder in his misperceptions." Because, well, that's Watson.

I'm thrilled that you think the combination of smut and sentiment works, because it is a fine line and I always fear that I'm walking on the melodramatic side. *sigh of relief*

And I have lots more plots in my head... now I just have to get them onto paper the computer screen.

Yowza! This is just so wonderfully hot -- and tender. It made me wriggle in delight and sigh for that "lost and lonely childhood."

Thank you so much for writing it and posting it. A wonderful story, indeed.

Can I infect you with a plot-bunny where Lestrade finds out what they've been up to and joins in? I think you're the one to write it.

[daylyn]

Thank you! I think Watson is the perfect combination of hotness and tenderness, especially in his feelings toward Holmes. I'm so happy you liked this.

Hmm... I do love threesomes, but I'd have to figure out a way to add Lestrade without disrupting the romantic balance between Holmes and Watson. Hmm... *contemplates*

Let me think on this... *rushes off to make notes*

[daylyn]

Yeah, I'm of two minds on this, but I feel that Holmes may be a little too insecure to add a third party (except the riding crop, of course). I have to see what hits me... um... so to speak.

That was EXTREMELY sexy, and I usually hate this sort of thing. On Holmes though... *thinks about Holmes' bottom...* I had been hoping for a sequel to The Stakeout for a really long time, this made me awfully happy! Nice mix of hot porn and emotion. Loved it!

[daylyn]

Thank you so much! I'm really complimented that you were hoping for a sequel and I'm thrilled you like this, especially since it's not your usual cup of tea. And Holmes' bottom... mmmmm. *clears throat* Sorry, momentarily distracted.

[almostlifesized]

It is a very distracting bottom, isn't it?

[pandapony]

REALLY nice balance of honest sentiment, story-telling, and good old-fashioned crop-porn! Hot and believable. Oh. Did I mention hot?

Thank you!

[daylyn]

Wow, thanks! Holmes, Watson, and the crop are just a perfect combination. I'm so happy you liked this.
