[vsee]

Oh, very enjoyable. I do hope you'll write more, either of this retelling, or of other stories. Welcome!

[dreamtimegirl]

Thankyou :) I'm really glad someone read it. There will be more, because I'm much more of a Holmes fan-girl than Watson, and we haven't got onto him yet ^_^

I love how you described the difference between losing Holmes and losing Mary - Mary's being so final and undeniable but he had "unfinished business" with Holmes. And also them having fisticuffs! :D I admit I quite like it when they fight with each other...

Thank you for posting this :) A commendable first fic!

[dreamtimegirl]

Ooh, thankyou :O I can't believe anyone likes this enough to comment, it's all very exciting!

When I set out to start these series, the only thing in my head was the image of the boys lying together, all emotional after a tussle, so I'm glad that made an impact :)

Next bit might be, uhmm... finished already. Because I'm that sad and excitable.

P.S. I love your little SherlockBBC livejournal person thingo.

[angrylogic]

You're welcome :D

Nah you're not sad ;) There's certainly not enough canon stuff out there so any and all is welcome.

How very much in character Watson is here! I do like the way you have him deal with his grief. I particularly liked the line: "I loved no one intimately, but everyone openly." Looking forward to the next part!

[dreamtimegirl]

Oh wow, thankyou ^_^

I'm not really a Watson girl, so how much he's coming through in this is coming as a bit of a pleasant surprise.

That one's probably my favourite too.

Also, I may have accidentally already written the next one. I only meant to start it, but... -.-'

I entirely agree about not making it too easy, and I love your descriptions here both of Watson's self-medication (I loved no one intimately, but everyone openly) and the wrestling match reunion.

Looking forward to reading more.

[dreamtimegirl]

Oh wow, thanks ^_^ I've read a lot of your stuff, so it's kind of cool to think that you read it.

I want to draw out the awkward phase, because I think it makes the end sweeter :)

Yikes!

I'm so happy to discover your fic! I got here by a roundabout way from A Small Patch of Mist. I was mourning Alicia's disappearance (as I always will) when I read this and now I'm all happy again!

I'm sure you have found a beta by now, but if not I can offer my services. I'm certainly going to read everything you write in this fandom anyway. Thank you!

[dreamtimegirl]

Really!? You would beta for me? That would be so wonderful! Thankyou! I just re-read something I posted ages ago, and it so needed a beta other than little old me :)

I'm so glad you liked everything!
