Fic: I Know This Room, I've Walked This Floor

[starsandgutters]

Welp. I haven't written in this journal for months, and when I do it's to post fic? Oh well. Could be worse.

This is the very first ficlet I've written in Sherlock fandom-- I don't usually wait so long before charging through, but I love these characters so much, I almost have a reverential fear of trying to capture them in words. I hope I didn't

This is beautiful, and heart-breaking. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.

Aw, thanks! Always nice to make people cry in a...umm... non-evil way... I guess?

Thank you for reading!

Oh, this is polished, and the writing flows like silk. It's powerful, and the last line is note-perfect.

Thank you for this. And how nice to see a good new writer in this fandom!

[starsandgutters]

Oh gosh. Thank you so much!

(I was originally going to keysmash excitedly tumblr-style, but I didn't want to disprove the "polished" comment so soon.)

No, but your comment makes me very, very happy. "Powerful" isn't an everyday compliment to receive for a writer.

Thank you for reading and commenting-- and it's lovely to meet such nice people!

Oh John. All the 'might-have'beens'. This was lovely.

[starsandgutters]

Thank you! I imagine Sherlock has a fair few regrets of his own...
(Not that it's gonna stop John from punching him, I'd wager.)

Beautiful and poignant. I look forward to seeing more writing from you!

[starsandgutters]

Aw, I'll try not to disappoint. :) Thank you for reading!

It's wonderfully written. Great feeling for detail. And so very emotional. Just brilliant.

Aw, thank you! I try. Glad you liked it!
