That was adorable. I do loves me some kid!Sherlock fic, and I think you kept him in character even at ten years old :D

Also, John's jumpers for the win!

Thank you so much! I love the image of kid!Sherlock, too adorable. And it was hard to resist putting him into one of John's jumpers - in fact, it was impossible to resist :D

Sherlock... adorable Sherlock... as a child... an adorable child... in an oversized jumper... o.O *brain explodes*

My favorite line was: "And Mycroft was smiling again, the same smile a person often smiled when they were thinking back to memories locked away with iron chains to keep them from escaping and dragons to keep them protected." To me, it read like poetry. I find the relationship between Sherlock and Mycroft extremely fascinating, and I think your rendition of it is just so well done.

Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you for reading and for the comment :D

I'm really glad you liked that line as I think it's also one of my favourites from this. And Sherlock and Mycroft, I agree, the relationship between them is truly fascinating and I really enjoyed exploring that relationship just that tiny bit.

Thanks again!!

I must admit that I approached this with quite a bit of trepidation. I love a good crackfic with a side of fluff, but "suddenly turned into a kid" fics can go so very, very wrong.

But this is gorgeous. Cracky but not nonsensical. Heartwarming, not sickly sweet. And it makes some sly observations about the characters (of which I think my favourite is “I can’t decide whether you’ve always been this childish,” he said, watching as pale eyes turned to him, “or if this, whatever this is, is affecting more than your body.”)

Looking forward to your multi-chapter fics now.

Thank you so very much. I am so glad you enjoyed it and that it didn't turn into one of those that go wrong ^^

I really enjoyed writing the combination of crack and fluff - with the image of child Sherlock in my head, it would have been impossible to avoid fluff. And I do just love the childish nature that Sherlock has at times in the show, brings a smile to my face whenever I think about him sulking or anything of the like.

Thank you again very much!!!
