It’s remarkably easy to settle into the barter system ( ... )

Everything about this is made of WIN. How I'd love to see them switch clothes on the show for some reason or another. =D

When Sherlock comes, he silently, completely falls apart. And I would love to see this, too. =D

This is so adorable I half expected kittens to start jumping out of my computer as I read it. Yay! I especially loved the conversation with Sarah.

It's like, the definition of an adorable :D
They make trading clothes look really sexy. And the dog tags were the icing on the cake!

“I thought you didn’t believe heroes existed.”

“That was before I got to know you,” Sherlock replies.

D'AWWWWWWWW! Sherlock may not have even meant it that way, but that was so sweet! God, they are too cute! That barter system was the best idea ever. Awesome job!

I liked this a lot - very amusing and well-written, and I could just see Sherlock making assumptions about why his clothes turned up with John's and assuming that they were implicitly agreeing to trade clothing. :)

But, please - ID tags, not dog-tags! John was in the British army, not the US.

Awwww, boys. I loved Sherlock extrapolating one exchange on a cold walk and John's lack of protest into an accepted barter system, without bothering to inform John of the fact. Both of them geting that special, possessive little thrill from seeing their clothes on the other.

And John's freak-out about the dog-tags - besides his issues with not feeling worthy to wear them himself, that's (at least in the US) a serious declaration. I know several people who wear replicas of their loved ones' tags while they are separated by a deployment.

Well-characterised - I love the John!voice - lots of fun dialogue, quietly engrossing, and also ADORABLE. The happy ending is LOVELY!

This was awesome. Followed a link from art on DeviantART. One of my better random clicks of the evening. Wonderful writing.

Oh. My. God, how absolutely adorable was this?!?!

“Can’t we belong to each other without being in a relationship?” Sherlock asks hesitantly.

I squeed so hard at this line because Sherlock is all hesitant and doesn't want to get his heart broken but he loves John soooo much, it just shows so well.

Lovely story! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!

Hey Author!Anon, I just came back to re-read this wonderful story and was wondering if I could make a PDF/ebook version of it and putting it up for download at http://ithindiniel.tumblr.com/ebooks. I'd say you get full credit but since that's difficult in this case I'll just link to the kink meme? I hope you are still looking at the commets sometimes and see this!
