_beautifully_ judged! I love the fact that you make both worlds totally plausible so that even at the end I shared John's hopes and fears about his choice. The last line is absolutely perfect and the way you wove Lestrade and Mrs Hudson into the narrative worked seamlessly. So much respect!

I wanted the reader to feel with John, to understand his emotions and hope and fear and total confusion of what reality is and is not.

Love for this fic! You really did the prompt so much justice <3

[jemisard]

Thank you, darling. <3

Oh, very well done! Even now I'm not sure which reality is the 'right' one.

[jemisard]

Maybe 'right' is only whatever makes John most happy.

Oh no. I'm perversely reminded of Bohemian Rhapsody, but this was still amazing.

[jemisard]

That's an interesting connection to draw....

"Is this real life? Is it just fantasy, caught in a landslide, no escape from reality..."
Yeah.
I dunno. My mind, it is like tangled wool.

[jemisard]

Okay, that makes sense.

Because the bit I was thinking about made a lot less sense, especially as sung by muppets.
