You've given John-as-Death such profound humanity while not diminishing his wider role as Death. That, alone, deserves a standing ovation. But to weave that into historical anchors and mythological threads until the ultimate solution -- his solution, to make Sherlock myth makes so much sense that it gives me chills every time I think about it.
I adore the canon references here (Sebastian Moran, omg), and the sibling rivalries and alliances. I love Sherlock who can almost see John as he truly is... and I love the attachment that forms between them almost instantly.
This story is just so profound and beautiful and human. Brava!
I know I've had a lot of Coke and cookies, but I'm pretty certain I'm flapping my hands and squeeing because of the fic. Because it is wonderful, and truly worthy of flappy hands and squeeing (and staying up late/early, and a not-finished presentation). This was just so wonderful and gorgeous on so many levels - the concept alone was fantastic, and then there were the characters ( I love your John, Harry, not!Anthea and Sebastian. Your Mycroft is a thing of awesomeness.), and then there were the flashbacks (I'm just a history geek), and then there was the honest to God plot, and then the conclusion which just made so much sense, and then... er... it's slightly hard to type when you keep flapping your hands for joy. Who knew?
So, er, yes. I love this. You may have gathered that. I could copy-and-paste exactly what I loved, but you already wrote the fic, I'm sure you don't need to read it all over again.
So wonderful! I wish I could say more, but I just read this and I honestly have no other words than I loved every bit of this. All the characters were so spot on and I don't think I could ever get enough of John as Death. Its just perfect.

I'm speechless, really.
