Aw, this is lovely. Thank you for giving them such a nice day out and an even nicer coming home!

[fengirl88]

thank you very much - I'm delighted you liked it, and sorry it's taken so long to deliver! *headdesk*

This is really sweet. I do love these two.

[fengirl88]

thank you very much - so do I, and I'm glad you liked the fic!

[fengirl88]

thank you - glad you liked it! I hadn't been going to write a seasonal fic, but it seemed to want to be one, so I didn't argue. *grins*

This story is worth it for the summary alone! *g* Actually, I really liked the description of the Christmas Market. It really helped me picture the scene. Even better is the clever banter between John and Lestrade. I thought the end of the first scene was particularly good:

“Mm,” John says, leaning against his shoulder. “Sounds good. I think bits of me may be about to fall off if we stay here much longer.”

“Can't have that,” Lestrade says. “You might need them for later.”

Of course, the second scene is equally delightful. I love it when Lestrade tells John that he doesn't think of anyone but him, adding a heartfelt Szeretlek. And, once again, you provide a funny and humourous ending for the scene and the story, which I also love:

“Nnghh,” Lestrade says. “Mmff.”

“You never told me those,” John says, grinning. “What do they mean?”

One of those times when it's better to show than tell, Lestrade reckons.

“Come to bed,” he says. “I'll give you a demonstration.”

thank you very much - I'm delighted you liked it! *beams*

I enjoyed the Christmas Market last year, though I haven't managed to get there this year - and it does have a very odd mixture of things, including the fake snow!

thank you very much - it's lovely to get this from you! I'm so glad you like it - and that is a good idea for a 50th birthday fic...

I don't think there will be a surprise party planned by Sherlock in this 'verse (just as well!), but I'm sure John will think of a nice way to celebrate. *grins*
