But but but don't stop there!

This is delightful. Your Watson is delicious and I really like how you write their interaction.

[paperclipbitch]

Sorry, I will make an effort to get the next bit up soon!

Thank you very much :D

Oh god, this is perfect. I absolutely love the undercurrents you have going on here- the stuff they don't say looms fantastically. I've already read this twice and it still feels fresh. Safe train journey! I'm putting off my journey up north until the absolute last minute.

A tiny niggle- you have 'annunciantes', I think it should be 'enunciates'?

[paperclipbitch]

Aw yay, thank you so much , I'm glad you enjoyed :D (and yes, it should be 'enunciates', thanks, I completely missed that!)

That's a good idea, although I don't think the weather is going to get any better anytime soon... *grimace*

Of course, I love it. I love Gladstone and the interaction and the fact Watson can't dream of Holmes in any way but how he is, and the clothes-stealing and just...everything!

*happy sigh* Thank you so much for this love, it was just the distraction I needed from trying to distinguish what I have brought home and lost from what I have left at uni.

So glad you got safely back, and this was awesome. (And I clearly need a Sherlock Holmes icon.)

[paperclipbitch]

Aw yay, thanks so much sweetie, I'm glad you enjoyed :D

trying to distinguish what I have brought home and lost from what I have left at uni
I was doing that yesterday, now I'm back here and I'm still not sure what I've lost!

And yes, you need a Sherlock Holmes icon! *shocked face* I've spent too much of today acquiring them...

Look, see, I found!

I was sorely tempted by a lovely pretty slash one, but then the awesome swirly background and the general pretty of Jude Law won me over. Although I may have to go back and add the lovely slashy one to my collection just for the sake of it.

I am going to work on a principle that if I don't remember it today, it's not essential for the next few weeks and therefore I can live without it until I come home again/I plead with my parents to send it.

Of course this means I will probably end up leaving all my underwear or my laptop behind. Such is life!

[paperclipbitch]

Oh, that is pretty. Very pretty. I hated Jude Law for years and never saw anything appealing about him and then he was in this film and I'm suddenly all "ooh, shiny" about the bloke. *shakes head*

That sounds like a good principle, though I appear to have come back without the cable that links my camera to my computer which is :( Do try not to leave your underwear or laptop behind, those things are kind of important!
