Gorgeous. And I love you for this: Contrary to popular belief, John, I am human., as it is something people tend to forget far too easily.

You write beautifully, my dear Jujubean. I really mean that. There's soul in your words, and I can't wait to see more from you.

This is gorgeous. I love the way you capture the ongoing thought patterns and how human Sherlock is.

Wonderful!

Awww, lovely, and very human. This is a sweet story, and the way you capture Sherlock's thought patters is wonderful. :)

...“Haven’t you ever just been fed up with it all? To become so overwhelmed with everything that it needed to escape? Contrary to popular belief, John, I am human.” He was withdrawing into himself, holding the bubble steady even as lashed-out anger swiped into the air.

“Yes, of course.” John seemed to consider him for a moment, before stepping towards him, his form side winding around the desk until he was standing over the form of his friend.

“However,” and here he invited himself to sit next to Sherlock, ignoring the distressing gaze in his eyes as he placed a comforting arm around him, “It’s a lot nicer this way.”

Favorite part. Beautiful! I echo the first commenter. Your writing does have a certain soul to it.

Thank you for sharing! :)

You're welcome! I quite like it when people do that for me. It's nice to be able to know which parts of a story people respond to best. ^_^
