Oh, goodness, this is lovely and incredible. I love how you show us a quiet moment in the aftermath of their reunion, rather than the reunion itself. And this is perfect: I have a string of ordinary days turned wonderful, and that's good enough for me.

Marvelous!

Oh, thank you!
I was a bit wary to write about the reunion, because it's such a "big" thing that it'd be easy to make it sound wrong/artificial. (And I just love little quiet moments :) )
I'm glad it worked for you!

Thank you!

I don't imagine Greg holding Reichenbach too long (well, past the initial surprise/shock) against Sherlock. I think he must know him well enough to realize that Sherlock wouldn't have done that unless absolutely necessary and that it was as painful and difficult for him -if not more- as it was for the others.
(Whoops, sorry, rambled a bit here! :) )

I do so agree with Greg here - that although some days are memorable, you cannot say that any one day is the best. And this is one of the good days.

This is definitely a great one for the both of them!
