Another GREAT chapter! It made this cloudy day so much better. *_______*

Ah thank you. It's been rather wet and miserable around here too.

I seriously started hitting the refresh button for this page about four hours ago. I love, love, love your fictions. I was super exciting for John's return to tennis. I love the way you narrate in the voice of the commentators. It's brilliant. I feel like I am watching the matches live. This was excellent.

I was never a fan of tennis before reading your stories, and now you've got me obsessed with it. I blame you for my complete lack of free time.

[jupiter_ash]

Four hours? That's keen. :)

Writing the commentators is fun and is actually rather easy compared to other parts of the text. Certainly easier than writing the sexy times that often follow. ;)

I was never really into tennis before writing this, so I hope you don't mind but I'll blame you for some of my complete lack of free time as well, since a lot of it is now taken up with writing about tennis. ;)

i can't believe how much i missed the tennis in previous installments, as soon as this chapter started there my pulse picked up. i love them playing together, it just seemed like they put the heart in the game for one another. you balance them so well.

also, sebastian moran! that was a nice nudge. i feel like he's a shark swimming right beneath the water. can't wait for next monday, dear ♥

Yeah, there's been a lack of tennis so far. Which does raise the question of what is left to their relationship if there is no tennis? Hmmmmmmmm.

Ah yes, Sebastian Moran. Just because Wimbledon is over doesn't mean that Moran and Moriarty and everything they represent has gone away as well. ;)

Yay! They're playing together and they're even managing to communicate about it!

Also love the Lestrade bits; God, that man suffers. Maybe having John around will make Sherlock evaluate some of his behaviours. All in all, the boys are doing pretty well... And I shiver to think of what kind of shenanigans you might have lined up for us! o_o

[jupiter_ash]

Communication is everything. Especially in doubles. :)

Lestrade does put up with a lot. But rest assured he has his own reasons. ;)

Oh, yay! They play tennis! I love the tennis chapters!

[jupiter_ash]

lol - not the most common thing written in a Sherlock fic comment. :D But lots more tennis to come now that they're playing properly again.
