abuseThis story is amazing-I wish I was as good at pulling off this kind of emotion! Somehow, I always tend to overdo things . . . LOL

Anyway,fabulous story. It's a lovely thing to know that there are other Sherlock fans out there :D

abuseThis was a tear-jerker, but in a happy way, with just enough ammusement to keep you readers READING and not bawling their eyes out, which I'm still just about close to doing, for the record. Two questions, Does anyone know how Watson's wife actally died? And, Did Watson really have a son? That's all. Good story.

abuseOk, crying so early in the morning, is very bad for the health , I have decided.

My, that was truly beautiful! Holmes may be clueless when it comes to understanding emotions, but you my friend, have no difficulty whatsover! Though I have never lost a child or significant other, I have lived through the deaths of several very close family members and can safely say that yes, it is just like missing a piece of your own soul.

If only I'd had such a good listener at my side. :)

Anyway, this was the very best story I've ever read upon the subject of Watson greiving over Mary. And when Holmes saw the baby's name I just about collapsed. I had completely forgotten that he didn't know! Truly remarkable and I must thank you for the bugazillionth time for allowing us to share in your TREMENDOUS talents.

abuseBravo! A wonderful ending. You truly have a grasp on Holmes and Watson, and I enjoy reading all of your stories. On a side note: Your stories got me so back into Sherlock Holmes that I went out and bought vol I and II of 'Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories" lol. Truly inspiring.

abuseThe last chapter - what can I say? So heartbreaking, so bittersweet, yet utterly breath-taking for its simplicity and magnificence. You really do know to convey deep emotion so succinctly. I've often said how lucky we are in the SH fandom to have such talented writers producing quality stories and you have to rate up there with the very best.
Very, very well done. I've enjoyed every single word.

abuseLovely story idea - and with so many chapters! I've already read up to chapter 3, but decided to return and start my reviewing from this one. Simply because this chapter has a few delightful things in the beginning

Firstly, there was this sentence: "I was heartily glad to see the grey and drab buildings of London once again." Ha! Having lived in London - though obviously not in Victorian times - I found it rather amusing that someone could indeed be "heartily glad" to see the buildings that big city. Oh, I personally do love that city. But the buildings are often just that, grey and drap.

Shame on Holmes and his attitude towards Watson's professional commitments! But it was rather in character. :) Holmes is rather self-centered in some ways, although I too, like so many fanfic writers, believe that he has a warm heart under that cold exterior. But it's nice to see that self-centered part of his personality in fanfics too, instead of him being portrayed as just a warm and oh-so-nice fellow.

By the way, I'm guessing in this phrase "the diamond dealer clew in Paris was just another decoy" the word clew should be written clue. As in "a sign or some information which helps you to find the answer to a problem, question or mystery" (from Cambridge dictionary online). At least the said dictionary does not recognise any word with a spelling "clew". I'm only really paying attention to this because I saw a similar typo in ch 35. of Vows Made in Storms. Speaking of which, I should go and leave a review on that story too.

abuseexcellent! this last chapter was very well done. i've read similar fics that get far too angsty and emotional, to the point where they're out of character. but your interpretation was just perfect!

abuseAw! SO emotional! Poor Watson; I think you wrote this beautifully, and its such a shame about Mary- when I was reading the canon I felt sad for him, and now its worse! I think you'd be able to write an amazing romance for watson someday, if you wanted to- a real treat! I know you don't write that kind of thing, but I can't help wishing...:)

Looking forward to your next fic!
