I really had no idea how to start this story (even though the core idea - John ignoring Sherlock's return - appeared before the ep was released))), so I went for this choppy, non-linear style)) Like John himself doesn't know where to start)))

Even though I am unfamiliar with the particular part of the fandom, I have seen the two Sherlock Holmes movies so at least I had something to lean back on for reference. x3 Although I probably can't fully appreciate the brilliance of the story since I am not much of an avid fan, I have to say that I am completely smitten with the sheer intensity of the whole story. It feels like a deeply wound spring that is ready to bounce at any moment if provoked. Simply superb. All the carefully chosen words are so neatly and finely arranged. Ah, simply awesome. :3 Gotta love your writing style, as ever! :3 ( ... )

I wouldn't say I've immersed myself into fanfiction (if anything, I've immersed myself into work))))). I used to write more. These days I'm mostly trying to combat my original or headdesking over trabslations. But hey, where would I be if I stopped writing fics completely? XDD
Oh, I definitely rec this series if you haven't seen it. It's short (6 hour-and-a-half eps for now) and very awesome. Though I love those two movies as well)))
Thank you so much for reading! <3 Your compliments are making me blush. >_

But wow, work eh? What kind of job are you working? You mentioned something about translation? That's really cool. x33 And ya I know what you mean, because I myself haven't been writing a lot lately. But at least you are doing better in that department, thus why I said you write a lot. x33 Writing is a great way to deal with things! :3
Hmmm, I might come around and take a look at it at some point, yea. But for now I got my watching schedule filled with so many things it makes my head spin. xD Been in an all-out anime mania for a while now. xD
And you are always welcome for my reading and compliments. <3 :333 You deserve them every bit. :3

Yeah, they finally gave me a novel to translate))) And I'm a teacher now too... at my old uni. >_<
Why haven't you been writing? :( Writer's block? In that case, I do hope it passes!
My mania mostly alternates between British and American tv-shows)))
Aww, you're too kind, sweetie! :)))

Anyway, this is marvellous. The characterization is great, I could see them reenacting this fic line by line. I love the dialogue, how John wanted to punch Sherlock, Sherlock being his usual silly self and then the final olive branch.
Just <3<3<3
