Note: This is still for purelyironic, and all my gratitude still goes to my Fab Four. It really doesn't get more exciting than this author'

This is lovely! The tension between the two of them is really excellent.

Nothing better than sexual tension even after the sex. *g*

Uhm. Well. Wow? I'm kind of at loss as to what to say about this! The tension between them is completely amazing. As is the rest, but, just, yes. Really, really beautifully done. ♥ I get more excited for the next bit with every part!

I reallyreally love tension, and people having to work so very hard to make something work. Because things not just falling into place makes them so much more worth it! And, just, hee. Thank you so, so much. &hearts

Hmmm. The tension increaseth! I like Watson's uncertainty in this, and Holmes being mysterious when he doesn't need to be.

[zarah5]

Mystery is something you can hide behind, too! And Holmes is not as self-assured as he'd like to think he is. *g*

Mmm, intriguing.

I love how they're (subconsciously) justifying this to themselves with the excuse that 'this will keep him off cocaine' and 'this will keep him away from gambling/distract him from his grief over his wife'.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. ;)

Also, the sex scenes were deliciously sensual. ;)

Thank you! (Denial is awesome, if you ask me! Emotionally stupid boys, I love them.)

There can never be enough tension! Thank you!
