Woah! I was actually like, "What if this is all a setup by Watson to occupy Sherlock?" a couple chapters ago, but dismissed the theory. And now I find out that I was actually right. That's insane. O.O

This story is so good! I particularly liked the way you characterized Sherlock-he's insensitive and pompous enough to be frustrating, but one can see his heart starting to soften, and that makes up for it. I feel like this perfectly captures Holmes' character in the early stories, when he was just starting to develop the friendship (and, in consequence, a conscience).
By the way, because I've spent the last two days hooked on your fanfiction, I've neglected to work on my own. Shame on you for distracting a fellow author. ;)

That was amazing! I had tears in my eyes when I read what Watson wrote :'(

As usual, everyone is in character, and you do an excellent job of showing how Holmes can be a genius and an idiot at the same time. And I love your character Cummings :)

While the 'twist' was not unexpected, it was a good story. All the events where logical and actually it was rather nice to see this told from Holmes Point of view.

Whenever I have a bad day, I take great pleasure in clicking on this fanfiction. :) It just... IS. Is awesome, I mean. When I get an account, I will definitely add this to my favorites.

My god, but that was beautiful. Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe there is something in my eye...

I think I may be slightly in love with your Mycroft. I absolutely adore the idea of him and Watson (who is still my favorite, always) collaborating over anything, but especially something like this.

I wasn't quite sure what was going on with this one when it started - I knew that Watson knew more than he was saying, but I had no idea that it was as involved as it was. And of course Mycroft uses his influence to keep his little brother out of trouble. Seriously, if he wasn't an imaginary loner living in Victorian London, I'd have proposed to him by now.

Thank you so much for writing - I hope that your muse is always chatty.

This was a wonderful end, and as in-character as ever.

Very interesting start! I can't wait to see more of this as it goes on.

So nice! The twist was rather evident but that entirely failed to spoil my pleasure. Plot and characters were delightful and I must say Mycroft was quite impressive. I love the thoughtfulness of friendship you give us to remind in you works.

awesome.

Sorry to admit it, but I did suspect Watson plotting out this case (the title gave it away, as did the fact that your friends had lifted you from your own dismal mood). I don't pretend to be as great of a deductor as Mr. Holmes, but I think when one thinks on the facts...

However, it was brilliantly done, especially adding Mycroft like that. Wonderful.

Fave, fave, fave, fave, fave. :)

This was definitely an excellent thing for me to read, because I've been feeling much like Holmes was lately.

If there were emoticons here like on dA, I would use the "favlove" emoticon. xDD

A very nice piece of work~ :D

Aw...and they were just trying to help, too...xD

Interesting~ :)
