Oh, this is just absolutely wonderful. I… there aren't even words to express how much I love this. Just… ajkfljad. The whole thing is just beautiful, from concept to execution to characterization to just the entire thing. Love.

That was wonderful! I know this is horrible to ask, but perhaps a scene after everything and John knows Sherlock is alive or whatever and Harry realizes that the man was Sherlock...I would love to see her reaction XD

That was really bittersweet. I love this sort of fic, the ones where someone who doesn't know the missing person talks to them. And John's reaction to The Coat was lovely. I've been reading a few of your fics and you're a great writer of the fluff, and, you know, just general stuff.

WOW! :) You've come at 'post-Reichenbach' with such an epic, original angle, I love it! Awesome to see Harry in there - I've always wondered what she'd be like in an episode :P N'awww, and your Sherlock really is too cuuute... great work! _

You wrote Harry perfectly, well, you wrote her drunk mind perfectly. It was an amazing fic. The encounter was perfect. I loved how it evolved, but I especially loved the ending.

How 'the stranger' sees them, sees John. You have a thing for exterior povs, like the note one. It flows very well and it's pleasant to read. It's meaningful too.

Great job!

OH OH NOW YOU'VE MADE ME CRY

I adore your Harry. I adore the fact that she would wear heels - not a lot of the Harry Watsons I've read are very feminine; most of them are the rough-and-tumble type. I like her dialogue and the way she thinks, and even sopping drunk she's still sharp enough to note whether or not she's told a stranger that her brother has a job. I love how protective she is of John, too, in a strange, almost reluctant way, like she can't help it. I don't know if you intended that but personally it's a stroke of genius. I could also possibly be reading too much into this.

That being said (frankly I could go on and on about your characterization of Harry) OH SHERLOCK DARLING COME HERE AND HAVE A HUG~ I like how you've made him human enough that he would stop and offer help to someone clearly inebriated, instead of curling his lip in disgust and stalking on. I love that he uses John's name as a temporary alias. AHH THIS ENTIRE FIC JUST MADE ME HAPPY AND CRY AND JOHN ENDED UP WITH SHERLOCK'S COAT OH

Oh, and my favorite line?

"If he weren't, I'd kill him. Grab his heart right out of his chest and eat it."

HIS COAT.

THAT WAS THE MOST - JUST- J- GARBLEBFYDJDNSLSKKS

*Smothers face with pillow*

I have been reading too much angst, goddammit, and now all I can think about is John and that stupid too-big coat. HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU, JOHN. TURN AROUND AND SAY HI.

Ok, I'll stop being crazy now. Very well written! You should be proud, I really like the way you portrayed Harry in this. If I can make one sort of concrit statement, the phrases "goddamnit" and. "dammit" were a bit overused, but otherwise I have no complaints!

I also quite appreciate how you don't portray Harry as a believer, I've seen quite a lot of fics where every principle character runs around with spray paint, and it gets Ooc. Thanks for that.

Keep writing!

STOP IT.

I mean don't, obviously, but that was too lovely. So nice to see Sherlock from Harry's perspective, and the way you wrote that whole scene was glorious (of course) and John at the end, oh, and Sherlock's coat, and everything. It's just so clever and nice and sad and all those other adjectives that mean similar things but anyway I LOVED THIS.
