This has just averted an oncoming panic attack with schmoop ;; much thanks.

Aww *hugs* - I'm glad to have been of help, then. You looks after yourself.

We love to watch Holmes's hands through Watson's eyes. So beautiful. Thank you.

Oh, I like that way of phrasing it.

Thank you for telling me you liked it :)

... Hands. ♥

You replaced the potential of perviness with gentle sentimentality. I am so proud of you, ma chérie.

I really like the... It's not melancholy, perhaps nostalgia is the word I'm searching for? There is such a tenderness to it, almost a sadness, in a way.

Or perhaps I'm just rambling. Who knows.

Also, you should know that half-way through Michael Williams started to narrate this for me, which made everything so much better. (I also love the quotes in the beginning. Love.)

Damn, why don't I have a hand!porn icon? This is a disgrace. Here, have som arm!porn instead.

As you know, I am pure as the driven snow and therefore could not possibly be pervy :)

That is a good and hugely suitable voice to hear it in and I am therefore quite pleased :D

(I am all about quotes today. I have no idea why.)

Armporn is a reasonable substitute.

Oh wow, this was just wonderful. I have such a thing for hands, not even going to lie, and this was just, gah, beautiful. I love the depth of love you managed to portray between the two of them, while talking the entire time about hands! Beautiful.

Hee! I must admit to having a bit of a Thing for hands as well, so this was incredibly self-indulgent to write. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
