Oh my god this is precious. Absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for writing it! Calvin with be the death of Sherlock. I’m sure of it.

This is beautiful

Oh my gosh Calvin is so a little Sherlock! I love this and hope to see more in the future!

john and Hobbes have an interesting dynamic. The "tradition" with the box was also good.

Hee hee! Calvin kind of *is* like a young Sherlock.

So Josn is starting to be able to see Hobbes, eh? Interesting.

XD Oh, my word! I'm so glad John can see Hobbes!

wow, amazing

Woah. Sort of a weak ending, but the John/Hobbes interactions were hair-raising.

That was funny. I like that John was able to see Hobbs but Sherlock wasn't. That was great. Good work.
Good Person Test

Hey! Back to finish what I started quite a while ago. You definitely deliver on what the opening chapter promises. It intrigues me that you didn't feel the need to give any details about the case itself, nor its solution - only that Calvin's prank helped them find it. I don't know if I would be brave enough to do that, but I think it works. The point is Calvin's eerie similarity to Sherlock and also the things that make them fundamentally different, not the case itself. And the ending is eminently satisfying: Calvin outsmarts Sherlock again by preferring imagination to any sort of purely intellectual stimulation. I think it's brilliant that Calvin is able to baffle even Sherlock Holmes himself. And not understanding it, Sherlock labels - mislabels - his imagination as boring and useless. You show us a new side of Sherlock, and I love it.
And then, after this deep, surprising, and satisfying conclusion, you end with a line that's brilliantly hilarious. Of course Mycroft would keep an eye on this kid. At this point, he could really go either way: he could be the world's next Sherlock Holmes, or he could be the world's next Jim Moriarty.
There are a number of typos and grammatical issues in this story, and if you ever want to go back over this and clean it up, please feel free to ask me to beta. But your characterization is flawless and your ideas are absolutely brilliant. I love what you've been able to do here. Good work!

Oh, man. You have NAILED Calvin's character. His snowman-building pastime was a great place to start the scene, and you rapidly show us both his overbearing argumentativeness ("What do you mean you were resetting the signs, Hobbes, I was very careful about spelling those. No, I am not going to ask for more tuna fish sandwiches!") and his brilliant intelligence that goes far beyond what a six-year-old would realistically know ("I suppose you think I'm projecting my inner turmoil upon an inanimate object and escaping my personal troubles. Well, wrong. I've got TV for that.") There's immediately no doubt that this is the Calvin we know from the comics. :D His response to the suggestion of questioning was also perfectly in character: "I didn't do it! The noodles weren't my idea! You can't prove anything!"

These two lines right here show why this is a PERFECT idea for a crossover:
- "Easy, it's a lot less boring than talking to you!"
- "I think we fell into the past and found a mini-Sherlock. Poor Lestrade is going to pass out in horror if he ever hears about this."
I would never have thought of Sherlock and Calvin as similar, but you've totally sold me on this. I love it! :) And the hints and suggestions that Hobbes might be more real than John thinks - the blurry image, the tiger prints - brilliant!

I like the idea of Calvin's parents having him see a therapist. It would realistically have happened at some point. :P (By the way, make sure your capitalization there is consistent.) It also makes perfect sense that Calvin would have treated her no better than he treated his babysitter.

Love this exchange: "So you're not here to take Calvin away?" / "No." / "Pity." And of course, Sherlock easily surmises that she has a crush on Calvin.

I enjoyed Sherlock's deductions about the parents and Calvin's dramatic entrance... and exit. I can't wait to see what's next. :D

SPAG:
- "The witnesses only refereed him to Calvin" - Did you mean "The witnesses only referred to him as Calvin"?
- "The kid stopped, and panted for breath as he whipped away sweat forming on his brow." - I believe you meant "wiped," not "whipped." Also, the comma is unnecessary because it's just a compound verb, not a compound sentence.
- "It was as big as he was, but the kids eyes were sharp as he snapped back..." - The word "kid's" is possessive, so it needs an apostrophe.
- "I think we fell into the past and found a min-Sherlock." - Just a typo: It should be "mini-Sherlock."
- "There was no answer, and Susie groaned, hiding her fact in her gloves." - Another typo: It should be "hiding her face in her gloves."
- "A health nut then, while the wife liked staying in more often then not." - The second "then" should be "than."
- "A slow smile curved the very tips of Sherlock's mouth, his cot whirling around him dramatically." - Just a typo: "cot" should be "coat."

I'm enjoying this very much!

This is so great. There's only one other Calvin & Hobbes/Sherlock crossover, but and I wish there were more. Great job!

In the words of my best friend, who is more versed in modern slang than I, YASSSS...

I have so much love for this I can't even put it into words. The idea alone was totally unexpected but BRILLIANT. And you clearly saw all the opportunities for comic golf and wonderful character interactions and took every one. The voices are so perfect I can see it happening in my head like a movie...a truly rare experience for fanfic. I love how Sherlock is totally frustrated by Calvin's crazy personality, and yet they are alike. You even managed to make Susie and Calvin's parents in character. I also LOVED that John comes to "see" Hobbes, but Sherlock refuses to, and all the references made me happy. This whole fic was well-written and lovely and gahskdfjl...I could go on, but I won't. And I meant every word I said, even if it was gushy:)
My two favorite lines, the ones I feel sum up this whole fic pretty well are, "Imagination. Imagination is what he has."
And,
"John translated it (Sherlock's scowl) to roughly, 'The little brat reminds me of myself and I don't like it.'"

I loved it!
