This was a gorgeous portrayal of their emotional connection. I never imagined a reflective piece could be so quietly beautiful.

I love how you can show how much Holmes cares about Watson. It's very sad and heartwarming at the same time.

Absolutely beautiful. And it spoke very true of the characters. Thank you so very much for this piece.

So hauntingly perfect.

Cute!

:D

Mmm I loved this. It sounded just like Holmes and the description of Watson was spot-on. Great writing, too. Really awesome job.

They shouldn't have taken that case if it was going to make Watson feel bad.

It is good

I love the way you show Holmes's caring nature.

A kind snapshot of what Holmes could have thought about Watson. I always suspected the friendship to be good and true. Watson's heart to balance Holmes brain.

Very well done! Good insight into Holmes' thinking processes. Poor Watson, though, needs a hug. Maybe when they get home, he'll get one from Mrs Hudson...

Wonderful job in capturing both Holmes' personality and his (non-slashy!) friendship with Watson. :)

...sweet and sad all at once.

Bittersweet and very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

this is exceedingl well written - you have captured the tone of both men and the language of the period very clearly

i thoroughly enjoyed this the first time i read it many years ago, and am very pleased to have tripped over it again now

thankyou for the read!
