ace... that's such a beautiful story of joy and companionship! If it weren't for the fact i'm at my dads work and i would get odd stares i excpect i would be crying. Very well done!

Wonderful! I really, really did love this! (I hope you don't mind my copying it to my computer! I shan't use it for anything save my own personal enjoyment.)

a master piece.

that was fabulous to read!

oH! This is so cute, i couldn't stop laughing or smiling. (and everyone at work thinks i'm looking at **. shame on them)

SQUE!

Great story! Best version of Holmes return after three years that I have read on yet! Your are right in saying that the honer of Watson fainting the first time does belong to Holmes. And of course Watson would name his son after Holmes. After all Holmes was, sorry is, his best and probably only friend. So it is only natural that he would name his son after him. Great story! I love it!

Oh, how wonderful! the children aren;t obnoxious or twee - SO RARE!! The shift to Mary's PoV gives a wonderful, fresh perspective - 'like a schoolgirl' - I like thee inside of her head - and the glimpse of Watson's happiness, through Holmes' eyes, reminds us poignantly that the two of them are made differently, Holmes being a moody, temperamental artiste, and Watson, as you show us, much more suited to the joys of this world, only here, sherlock is pulled into them. What a wonderful way to create a cheerful, happy ending.

Oh what joy! Very nicely done, thank you.

Aw, very cute! What a lovely what if!
