Fic: Broken Substitutes (1/4) (Holmes/Watson)

[zarah5]

This story was written for help_haiti, although I guess that help_chile would be just as appropriate. However, I think that most of the Haiti donations were not tied to a specific cause, so I’m convinced that Chile will profit just as much from the amazing, incredible result of the fandom fundraising for Haiti. As such, this solely and entirely belongs to purelyironic.

Thanks a lot! And the next part should be up tomorrow - I was gone for a couple of days!

An interesting beginning -- I'm definitely looking forward to more. (Although morphine is a derivative of opium, so that bit threw me out of the story for a moment).

I love it that they're both really caught up in their addictions, and both trying to fight the other one back to a state where they'll continue to exist too.

(Thanks for pointing that out, I corrected it! Remembered that incorrectly, it seems.)

I think what mostly made me want to write this was the idea of them both not caring at all for their own well-being, but very much for that of the other. Thank you! Next part tomorrow, I think.

I love it. The plot the story your style, the writing in general. And I cannot wait for more. I'm in a bit angsty mood, or rather very much angsty mood, so I need such stories [kind of masochistic I am, I must admit] so... I want.
and cannot wait for this NC-17 too ;)]

[zarah5]

I must say that I really, really love angst - it makes the happy ending all the sweeter! And there should be more tomorrow, hee. I won't get around to editing tonight, but yeah, tomorrow. *nods*

(Not much longer, heh.)

[inesdelsol]

thank you <3

The beginning is fabulous; attention grabbing and mysterious, and their relationship is written so beautifully. I love their bantering and arguing and am very excited to read the rest! Oh, also added you to keep up with your writing better; hope you don't mind? ♥

[zarah5]

Hello, hi! Of course I don't mind at all, although I'm currently so busy I don't have many interesting things to say. (Do I ever?) Am very happy the beginning lured you in already, and the next part should be up tomorrow!

Ooooh. I VERY much like this. So dark and sad. And I LOVE how they're both being hypocrites about their vices, too.

[zarah5]

Hypocritical addicts, indeed. A bit of self-denial's never hurt, right? Thanks so much! Next part should be up tomorrow.
