This is just so, so good! Can't wait for the last bit!! Will be nibbling nails until Friday :)

[zarah5]

It is Friday! And I'll post the next part in a few hours. Dentist first, meh.

This is just wonderful. The sex scene was fantastic. I loved Holmes' admission that he'd done it before and Watson getting totally jealous. Love the dialogue, the plot, everything! Looking forward the rest.

[zarah5]

Jealous Watson is hot, no? I totally think so. *g*

Thank you so much, whee!

Gaaaaah.

I read this just before I had to dash out and didn't comment as I was unable to come up with more than "...."

I'm not much more coherent on the second read, but while I loved all of it, the following paragraphs made me dance the happy dance of glee:

Watson placed the oil on the mattress and crawled on top of Holmes, running his hand along Holmes’ side, down, then back up. If circumstances had been different, Watson supposed the amount of time he spent on exploring Holmes’ forearms would be considered inappropriate. As it was, he delighted in the absence of new marks, lightly scratching his nails over Holmes’ skin to find that it made Holmes shiver and twist closer, holding on to Watson’s shoulder when Watson moved higher to suck a bruise onto Holmes’ throat. A glance to the side showed Watson that Holmes was clutching the jar of oil

This was absolutely more than coherent enough for me! Thank you so much for this lovely comment. &hearts

Lord! This is so great! And OMG the FENCING!! Yikes. What a stroke of genius on your part! Can that be in the next movie!? Please!

[zarah5]

I HAVE SUCH A THING FOR MEN FENCING!!!ONE!! (Well, in the context of slash fiction, at least.) And if that became part of the next movie? I would die. Yes. Ded.

[miss_turner10]

God yes! Can you just imagine.....of course you can! In the meantime, maybe on of our amazing artists needs to depict this? Yes?!

[zarah5]

Oh, I can totally imagine it. Yes. Breathing hard. Circling each other. So, I would vote HELL YES. (Holmes has so many incredible artists that I'm continually stunned.)

[queenapology]

Ah I like the tension that build between them when they're not touching in some way. I'm curious to see if Watson will get any answers to the questions that seem to be haunting him.

[zarah5]

Tension and UST = love. (And I think, in a way, he has to figure those answers out for himself. Although I do hope that some of them will be answered with the last part.)
