oh my goodness, this is so perfect! ugh, i love your harry so, so much, she's just this engrossing combination of spitfire swagger and cracked mosaic. this was such a surprise to receive, and an utter delight to read, thank you ♥

[fengirl88]

yay! I'm so pleased you like it - and of course this one had to be for you. I love your description of Harry! *beams*

This is great, although that's not quite the word I want. How do you adequately praise something where you've shown the self-centredness and unpleasantness of a character so well. You've really captured a triumphant Harry and yet there lingers the feeling that one drink, one small thing going wrong and we'll be seeing a totally different Harry.

[fengirl88]

thank you very much! I'm delighted that you think that about it. *beams*

Ah, what an absolutely delicious Harry you've developed here! I love her confidence, her snark, her spot-on exasperation about John. Really enjoyable read. Thanks! :D

[fengirl88]

thank you very much - I'm so pleased you liked it! the sibling rivalry is fun to write...

[johnnypenn]

awe, siblings. May god bless their little hearts. lol.
Actually, if one takes out the alcoholism and stealing of potential girlfriends/boyfriends, Harry here is a bit like my sister. :)

Great job. I love the language you use. It makes a very bright picture.
I love Sherlock hitting her back, though, I dunno why but it makes perfect sense and I guess if she attacked him first people wouldn't mind so much.

thank you very much - I'm glad you enjoyed it! as I said to holyfant, sibling rivalry is fun to write...

You're welcome. I am going to read the other parts in the series some time this week. I'm curious to see what happens next and what's happened before.

And it's so true. I think anyone who has a sibling goes through something like this.
It also reminds me of this British show called Fortysomething, where the middle brother steals the oldest brothers girlfriend. Benedict Cumberbatch is in it as the o,der brother, which is partly why I watched it.

[fengirl88]

I've never seen Fortysomething but am curious to do so because of BC...

the sibling rivalry is there at the start of this 'verse, but I suppose it's also playing on Sherlock's suggestion in ASIP that maybe John doesn't get on with Harry because he liked Clara!

Very good! Your Harry is quite incredible. Love the description of the wedding and what she said to Sherlock to cause him to turn so white! Greatly enjoyed this!

[fengirl88]

thank you very much - I'm glad you liked it, and especially the description of the wedding and the row with Sherlock. I knew there'd been a row, but until I actually came to write it I didn't know what Harry had said!
