I was revisiting your work when I came across this. I must have had my mind in a totally different place (health insurance, anyone?) when I saw your note that it was not ASIM compliant. I immediately tried to recall what ASIM was... went through ascii, AACR2... then I recalled the reason I was there in the first place, A Study of Magic. Face palm. You know that you are too tired to function when you cannot read without confusing yourself.

Anyway, Thank you for sharing. I love the mental pictures this gives me!

A very interesting story with a fascinating case.

Absolutely brilliant!

I like it, I would have prefer to see Joan and John interact, but this was awesome.

Awwww. :D

Oh, this was marvelous! I love Harry's ingenious solution in the end. Benedict's much simpler mindset, memories and understanding of whom he identified as "Daddy" were perfect for helping to narrow down whatever location spell/scrying technique Harry was utilizing. Your use of Watson's voice for this story was so very well written, adding a tone of verisimilitude. Well done, BoC!

This is the best conclusion ever! :D And the part with Benedict reuniting with his daddy was so cute!

Great story!

This is amazing! I love your work. And this chapter was glorious. I love how Future Sherlock just dropped the Magic Bombshell on them then left. It was glorious.

Yayyyyy! So glad to see this chapter. Sorry that John couldn't make an appearance, but Benedict was adorable.

Oh do continue this after you are done with A Study In Magic: The Application

This was fun to read

Poor Victorian Dr. John Watson if he ever were to meet ASIM John Watson! Oh, the mind picture you have given me!

Oh, this is delightful. Thank you for sharing it, and I look forward to your continuing it when your schedule is less crazy.

Oh, very creative! I do wonder what Watson will make of John!
