Thank you. From my heart, thank you. I've said it before, but I wouldn't even be doing this without you and the other gals' encouragement and guidance. I'd say I'd hug the stuffing out of you, but since you are made of steel, I'll hug you until you're slightly malleable instead. :D

Thank you for that, too. You are graciousness. <3

I love this :) Sherlock freaking the fuck out is something I can definitely see, and John's line "God, Sherlock, I think we might be the two most fucked-up people I've ever met" is absolutely perfect.

Thank you! I've seen a lot of talk that Sherlock wouldn't swear because he'd buy into that "only people with a poor vocabulary resort to swearing" idea. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who can see him freaking out like this though. Actually, I can see him liking to swear just because it would make Mycroft uncomfortable. :D Someone should write that story!

This really is lovely. I really liked "but scooted closer anyway, trying to maneuver him further into the lee of his small body. The protectiveness of the movement made Sherlock's throat hurt..." So well put.

And the ending? "You just find him, and I'll kill him myself, thank you." So perfect.

Thank you so much! I love protective John, and his size makes that protectiveness all the more swoon-worthy to me. I'm so glad you liked it! \o/
