I love this so much. I've always loved how this story sort of subverts the stories one usually reads (including mine) about all those little Time Kids taking after their over-the-top father. I've always loved that this story takes the opposite direction, and how you can both sympathize with Rose's surprise at what she got and also feel bad for John being saddled with those expectations to the detriment of his mother realizing what a gem she has. Your writing has always struck me as so deliberate and precise, almost like poetry in that respect, and I loved getting a peek into your thought process here.

Oh, thank you! I admire your work very much (esp. since you started writing Sherlock and I realized how very versatile you are!) So I have always been delighted that you like this story!

You do realize, I hope, that yours was not one of those somewhat same-ish stories I was responding to? I believe I began writing some time (maybe even as much as a year?) before the Chaosverse appeared.

That's a very great compliment! Thank you!

Thank you for always cheerleading my writing! I appreciate it enormously!

Oh, this is wonderful! :)

(I want to make a more detailed comment, but I'm all headachey so this will stand in for now. )
