I do love the idea of them growing old and retiring together. It's a lovely thought and this was a lovely peek into their world.

Hope you don't mind me pointing out one little typo - "The eminent death by Ruby Red Devon" - love the picture that conjures up btw *g* I think you perhaps meant imminent, rather than eminent.

Darned spellcheck *L* Yeah, I'll have to jump in there and fix it when I get home from work. I'm glad you liked it!

This is a very sweet snapshot, and I really enjoyed it. It felt peaceful, and the voices hit the right note foe me. I can definetely imagine Xander saying that McDonald's farm line, and the Skype made me giggle, too. Yet another teason why magic and tech shouldn't be mixed. :).

Nice job, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I write pretty sparingly in this fandom, so I'm always very conscious of trying to get the voices just right. Glad you liked it!

That was sweet, and down right cute. I love Xander wanting to go to Disney even as an older man. And that he'd love to go with Giles. The voices and tone were wonderful. It's time for these guys the get some rest. So Lovely.

Thanks! I'm a sucker for happy endings, and some time in the Sherlock fandom has taught me the pleasures of retirement fic. Happy you liked it!

OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME! It's been so long since I've read a truly lovely established relationship fic, and this was a gorgeous piece of comfort with the two of them not growing oldLIVING together. I feel like I've just read a hug - thank you!!
