Oh, that is lovely. I especially like the way that Holmes doesn't really understand what is driving Watson, or himself!

You write Holmes' POV wonderfully.
I really like this approach to Watson's gambling habits.

Oh, I love this - I love both their characterizations and I love your Holmes POV! :)

First I cannot believe people aren't tripping over themselves to rec/FB this fic, because this is wonderful.

I'm all agog, where to begin...the characterization of Holmes and Watson was so well done, the slow evolution of their relationship and Holmes' infuriating yet so neccessary stiffness. The plotting was perfect, paced just so to leave me with such a happy sigh of contentment at the end and the sex was, well, very sexy.

Well done.

LOVED! such a different take on watsons "issues" . I admit to being new to this fandom, so i find it interesting to read such a side to watson! whom i always assumed to be stuffy...lol.
wow. my bad! and since the story is from holmes pov, I dont understand wastons head space either , but what an interesting ride!

I really really enjoyed your take on holmes. I could pict RDJ throughout the whole thing. esp the early scene with him abot to pick W. door and Ms hudson walks in. hilarious..:)

I will prob reread this at some point soon!
