Nice description of Sherlock's mind. And I loved the bracketed text too :).

Thank you =)

Love the repetition of 'don't fuck this up'. Not entirely sure why - it just made me smile.

I think I like the way you've added such s human sentiment to his inner thoughts. Because I suppose he wouldn't be such an arsehole in his own head.

Love. :)

Glad that you liked it. =)

this is SO CUTE. you've managed to keep Sherlock totally in character, while showing his vulnerable side. I want to give him a hug.

Thank you for the comment. =)

This was lovely, I think you captured the white noise in Sherlock's thoughts very well.
Just one minor point that, to be honest, I still haven't worked out: Does John have blue or brown eyes. They look brown for the most part, but sometimes I think maybe not? I looked for pics of Martin Freeman, but they weren't close enough or he's got his eyes all screwed up. Or something. Thoughts?

I googled this, and found various references to Martin Freeman's eyes as brown, hazel, grey, or green! Someone needs to get a close look...

The grey thing would explain why they're occasionally reported as blue. =/ It's difficult to gauge though. I might go with grey. Any other comments?

[kalypso_v]

Eye colour's often difficult to agree - we see Sherlock's very clearly, but I've seen them described as blue, grey and green. (Which sort of reflects my own experience; I grew up believing the people who told me my eyes were blue, until one day I looked in the mirror and thought "No they're not, they're grey!" But some days I look very hard and see flecks of green, or yellow, or even brown.)

Maybe the tweeters can put in a request for the next series to show a big close-up of John's eyes, so we can screen-cap them for leisurely analysis?

YAY, I like this a lot. Especially this line, "John sounded a hell of a lot like the voice in his own head that said- don’t fuck this up." Wonderful!

Thank you. Glad that you liked it. Personally, I like that line a lot also. :D
