/flails incoherently a lot

This was the most brilliant fic ever oh my god. I still haven't even seen any of this show but you make the characters so know-able, and all Sherlock's Experiments are hilarious and I love that they are enumerated, and I love that Sherlock is so (possibly, maybe I'm just reading this into him) desperately in love with John and doesn't realize it because that sort of thing just doesn't fit, really. I can't imagine that love makes much sense to Sherlock. And John is the same way, only different.

Oh man.

/resumes flailing

XD Sherlock is really asexual, but he's John-romantic. It's confusing him a lot, because yeah, love is not something that happens to him.

I'm so glad you liiiike it.

[the_chloroplast]

It works! And it's not one of those things he can flowchart or pin down, either. Which must suck.

It is awesommmmmme

[rainbowjehan]

Annoys the hell out of him, yes. XD

<333333!

“Oh, come on! Do something I can’t guess! Dance around the kitchen and put the salad bowl on your head, but don’t say you’re sorry!”

:D

I read that straight through in one go. I never do that with fanfic.

(Mycroft icons coming up btw.)

[rainbowjehan]

Yessss I am so pleased! ^___^ That is the hugest possible compliment, coming from you.

(EVEN BETTER)

I am the world's least patient and sympathetic fan fiction reader, but you had be rivetted. I really like your solution to the paradox of Sherlock's lack of seuxality and his intense attachment to John. Also, many lols. :)

Here are my initial efforts at Mycroftry. For some reason they have both come out #0000cc blue. Am I on the right track? (I shall not be offended in the slightest if they're not to your taste.)

Bweee omg. BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER. Also, yeah, it was funny, I tried to see if it would turn into sex, but then I realised Sherlock was just--never going to enjoy it, not really, without me having to compromise my characterisation of him from my head, so it ended up the way it did. And of course John is way too sweet to ever accept that compromise.

Ooooo. I really like the second one, particularly because of the text, which is creepy and just right.

[gileonnen]

This is just perfect. Seriously, I cannot even begin to say how perfect this is. *___* You've got Sherlock's thought processes down, and I want to read more of them for ever. The experiments! And the eyes in the microwave! And the way everything becomes educational and illustrative except when he doesn't like or can't control the conclusions, and then he has to cope with his own a priori bias and he cannot cope with that and--nnngh, yes, want more. ^__^

(Also--have had a taste for chaste relationships or relationships featuring asexuals lately, so this fic has catered to my very particular taste of the moment. :D I am very grateful!)

[rainbowjehan]

I like Sherlock, he is a particularly fascinating kind of crazy, but I have to admit Mycroft is my favourite because he is EVEN MORE CRAZY. I am currently writing a fic about him creeping on Sherlock and it is so weird and ilit.

Thank you. :D

[rainbowjehan]
