Sherlock is an adorable child at times. It's wonderful how he can be so childish.

This feels like you’re writing from experience...hmm...

Anyways, I won’t pry, I hate when people do that, another amazing chapter even if it was hard to right

Said a few chapters back, didn’t think the moment of clarity would last very long, oh Sherlock...

Sherlock getting angry at people giving him “pity” eyes, ohhhhhh, I can relate.

Found it funny him threatening Mycroft with basically having a meltdown though lol

Also, how can John not know Sherlock has Aspergers, didn’t Mycroft mention it a few chapters back, I swear somebody did

Oh my god, this chapter broke my heart, more than ‘Broken’ in fact. I think the sheer vulnerability shown here and the humanity from everyone that has come out of such an inhuman act is heartbreaking in its own way. It’s in a way more saddening to read about the aftermath and Sherlock being so exposed, both figuratively and literally, than it is to read the rape itself.

It’s also nice to see a kinder side to Donovan, she’s often portrayed as quite mean in fics but as much as I hate how she is with Sherlock canonically, I’ve always believed she’s more caring than we see

I wonder how long that feeling of no longer wanting to die will last though, feel like that’s the shock talking of almost being killed

Even canon Sherlock has never been too bothered about whether he lives or dies so I have a bad feeling that his moment of clarity about life won’t be long lived. But I hope I’m wrong and now he can at least try to start to recover

Thank you for the trigger warning, the amount of stories like this that neglect to do that.

Even with the rape though, this chapter is written so beautifully, how you flashbacked to Sherlock thinking about his childhood and Mycroft protecting him from bullies, I can totally imagine that! Just...wow!

So much raw emotion and the description of how Sherlock felt like John would view him if he saw him like that, it’s so true to his character. And of course Sherlock blaming himself, it’s incredible how you’ve kept the feelings and thoughts a “victim” goes through but also stayed 100 percent true to Sherlock canon as well.

You’ve kept this gorgeous contrast throughout the whole story so far, with how Sherlock thinks and a “victim” feels, it’s just...yeah. I can’t think of anything else to say than stunning honestly

Oh god...

I know it’s really not funny, but Mycroft’s quip lol, I can’t. You capture the characters so well!

Come on, John, work it out

Aww, Sherlock’s victim number one isn’t he

This is written so well, incredibly sad and heartbreaking, but beautifully done

Sherlock deducting Harry Potter is literally the best thing ever lol. You got his mannerisms spot on!

When Sherlock said Robert Foreman, I think ohhh a, what is the word... Okey i not remember But means a conection with Dr. House :)

The last few sentences were fantastic especially the umbrella comment it really makes you visualise a angry protective mycroft who will stop at nothing to save his brother
