Lots of things fed into this including the idea that Sherlock's drug-taking and his own idea of himself as sociopath are both ways to avoid feeling.

Oh wow. You've captured it just perfectly. So heart-wrenching.

[ginbitch]

Thank you very much! This was a bit of a different approach for me so I'm really glad you liked it.

Aw, Sherlock -- now I want to smoosh him, though I know that'd just piss him off. Good job of saying a lot with a few words.

[ginbitch]

Meh - I'm sure he'll cope! Smooshing for _everyone_! I'm so glad you liked it!

Beautifull in a kinna heartbreaking way.

[ginbitch]

Thankyou! Sorry about the heartbreak - the next thing I'm writing is much fluffier!

Brilliant! Beautifully written and very effective.

A means to connect without connection, a way of sidestepping reason and feeling without feeling.

That. Exactly that. I'm sure that's what's going on with Sherlock. It's not that he doesn't feel, it's that he doesn't want to feel.

Thank you so much!! Yes, exactly how I feel about it! I see his definition of himself as a sociopath in the same way - it's a way _round_ emotion.

Many thanks - really glad you enjoyed it!
