So, who isn't surprised that Sherlock has been keeping an eye on Joan's soul-clock for her? I love to see how supportive he is -- no jealous fits from him, hurrah, he just wants Joan to be happy. They are a team, and having other love interests doesn't threaten that.

But that's a side point -- I love the idea of Joan and Sally finding each other, and both seeing each other. They both absolutely deserve to be properly appreciated, and it's lovely seeing them do that here.

*chinhands* Looking forward to MOAR. Both Sally and Joan deserve so much better than they've each received, so them finding each other is just... &hearteyes;

How lovely to see these dedicated, hard-working, beautiful and intelligent women find each other. They do seem incredibly compatible already, and I'm glad the story ends with the two of them taking time to just be together and explore how they might fit into each other's lives. I'm rooting for their happily ever after! Thanks very much for sharing this :)

a spectactular start to what can only be a terrific series (if you do do one; no obligation). this is so much win.

>But she worried what would happen to him if he lost Fiona. She really hoped he didn’t fall down into that deep, dark hole again where no one could pull him back out. He didn’t deserve that.
methinks Jaime Moriarty and Sally will help you kick his butt as much as need be, Joan.

about the soul clock-checking...I think this time, just this once, Joan may forebear from threatening to have a chat with Sherlock about personal boundaries, particularly when one of the persons is sleeping.

its quite nice, Sherlock being a...not a cupid, but a...cupid facilitator/enabler? making the case longer, to help Joan's social life
(and there'd have been a days wait anyway to catch the baddie, so its not like he made anyones jobs harder, right?) :)

most enjoyable; thank you very much for this! and I'm pleased you enjoyed making this fic.

ps: (knew i forgot to mention something; sorry)

above all, its good to see here that both Joan and Sally get to be happy. not just because of all the shite they have to deal with, but because they deserve to be happy. (and they're awesome apart, and you show they're just as awesome together)

kudos to you!
