Truly brilliant. I hope to read more stories by you of Sherlock and Joan.

good reading!

Great ending to a neat, unconventional story! I really appreciate SO much how you write them in a way that reflects their age, their maturity, and their personalities. So glad not to find any soppy, over the top mushy romantic declarations. That's just not their style. Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

Yay! You're back! So good to see another chapter of your great writing. Thank you!

oh, I'm so glad you're back! great work here bringing together the threads twined together in the previous installments of this little series, with the acknowledgement of the bond they don't talk about, and the unromantic romantic gestures.

And it won't be a surprise to know I hope you have a little bit left over to retell this chapter from Sherlock's POV (how I adore the different accounts of that night in London!)

What are you working on next?

Loved it! You have captured them keep writing.

awww, thank for finishing this. I kept coming back to it wondering what the ending would be. I liked that line, "Some recognition of that battle is long overdue." Thoughtful insight on mental illness. Joan is so patient and understanding. KUDOs!

Glad you finally wrapped up this story! Will you write/update your other Elementary stories?

This was amazing!

Yes! Thank you so much for this last chapter. I've tried to be patient and not prod you about Holmes' Palace and patience paid off. Love it!

love

Next chapter!

Oh my gosh next chapter!

Glad to see an update. You've certainly got their banter down. I'm enjoying the suspense and the moodiness of the island. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Arghhhhh! This is beautiful! I could feel the cold October water and the clench of his arm; the sound of gravel and icy rain. Thank you. Well worth the wait!
