 Ennairam Atrum Austerus 2009-07-08 . chapter 15That was simply beautiful!
I loved the scene when you describe Holmes sleeping and the child sleeping with him, as if she was his child.
With most sincere compliments,

 Saru Wolfe 2008-02-18 . chapter 15Oh, wow. Sorry it took me so long to review! I kind of had to go back and read the whole thing again first.
So... it's so cute! You have the perfect ending. I'm so glad you added the "Thirteen Years Later" part. It's adorable. Completely adorable. (Yet in character!)
And reading your author's notes made me feel so special. I did enjoy the bits of history.
On to the poll on your profile!

Okay, you should have had about five reviews from me by now, but I didn't want to stop reading for that long. I read the sequel (which I shall go review on momentarily), so of course I had to read this.
First of all, you say you used REAL historical events? I salute you. I can respect anyone who does any sort of research. And that made the story... well, lacking a better way to put it, all the more realistic! The plot was great.
Your characters (the ones you own, you know) are completely awesome. Hollister is evil, but in a recognizeably politician sort of way. And McKee's more important role this time around made me happy. They were both quite well-developed characters, especially for being secondary and all.
Holmes and Watson were great. They were both in character (a difficult feat, no doubt!) and their interaction managed to show their strong frienship without getting all... dramatically sappy. Usually in fics either there is no significant interaction or the author goes to extreme lengths to show how devoted they are to each other, but it just makes the story fluffy and rather pointless, even if it does fill your drama quota for the next couple of months. You hit a good balance.
This isn't over, is it? You don't have it down as complete. *Crosses fingers.*
Well done!
