Reviews for Confessions of the Master |

![]() ![]() ![]() To chapter 32 and the ones before it- BRAVO! BRAVO! I LOVED your retelling of The Devil's Foot and how you placed it all in context with the rest of the story you've crafted. It's something I'm going to enjoy re-reading and comparing to the original text. I'm dying to know what happens next; all your foreshadowing has me on the edge of my seat- Josh and Watson's fights, Holmes' quiet resolution that Watson will always come back to him, Watson's own words about how their relationship is doomed... To tell you the truth, after my first review (written after chapter 16) I glanced at a few others and had the ending of chapter 32 spoiled to me. (GRR!) it frustrated me for a few days and I vowed that I would not read the fic until a (semi) happy ending was guaranteed... but here I am anyway, quite unable to help myself. :P I credit my actions as a testament to your wonderful storytelling- usually I am extremely resolute and when it comes to reading unfinished works (that is, I refuse to read them)! But you have me hooked, and I will read as you update... and I hope that you update soon! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn't put this story down for long enough to write a review! Good thing there is less of a cliffhanger in this chapter... I just wanted to say that this story is WONDERFUL. I thought that it couldn't be done without the overt use of gimmickry, but you have managed to delineate, in a detailed, deep, and very satisfying way, the relationship between Holmes and Watson withOUT being OOC. The only "gimmicks" you have in your employ are Josh and Mary's spiritual appearances- but Josh is endearing and a character in his own right, and here to stay- and I don't mind the Mary-vision scenes so much (though I would rather do without them and how deux-ex-machina they are). You handle the mystery cases in a way that is a little more cursory than ACD, but it doesn't matter as much, since the focus of the story is on H & W. You've also got a truly venerable command of pacing (what I wouldn't kill to have that) and you balance tensions so very perfectly with the little happy, unencumbered moments that are a joy to read. I notice that this story has not been updated for a while and though I have a whole 'nother 16 chapters to go, I hope to see a "Complete" status sometime in the future. You've got a great talent at this and it would be a great thing for the SH slash fandom if you continued! |
![]() ![]() Wow! I'm afraid I won't be willing to read any other fanfiction in a long, long time. Just brilliant. I never was convinced in any kind of H/W relationship, but in this story, Holmes seems to be completely in character. And your writing style is awesome, though there're some mistypings. Swallowed it all in one night gulp. I hope it's going to be continued? |
![]() ![]() ![]() How can Holmes continue to be so forgiving? Should he really take back Watson another time around? Gah! I'm so frustrated! Why can't Watson just see that he belongs forever and always with Holmes? ALSO: I love Mycroft pushing that tart at Josh in dismissal. Hilarious. |
![]() ![]() Oh. God. You updated. Updated. YAY! Ahem. Excuse me. Watson is getting MARRIED?Again! Leaving Holmes behind? What the HELL is he thinking? YOU BETTER UPDATE FAST THIS TIME! No pressure though. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ALRIGHT AMALCOLM! I have a bone to pick with you! Even though I LOVE the chapter...Watson DOES love to torment his Holmes, doesn't he?, you are neglecting another of your protects! PLEASE, i beg you, PLEASE, continue Scandal...PLEASE now. I love Joshie...he's wonderfull and I want to adopt him... and...yes..wonerfull job, as usual |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thank You, Thank You, Thank You so very much for the update! You don't know how happy I was when I saw that you had a new chapter up. I nearly gave my cat a heart attack when I screamed in excitement. This chapter was well worth the long wait and I'm sure the next one will be too. It's very sad that Mrs. Hudson died, but even sadder that poor Josh had to witness her death. But the last development of this chapter made me choke in surprise as it did Mycroft. I didn't expect Watson to be marrying Juila Hudson. It's no wonder Sherlock is so sad. I just want the two of them to be happy with Josh. You have such a beautiful and decriptive style of writing that I can't help but read without even pausing for a moment. Your story has me hooked and I groan when I finally reach the end of chapter and wish there was more and more to read. I sincerely beg you that you will do me and the other readers the favour of updating soon, please? Please, pretty please! I swear to you I'm dying to see what happens between Sherlock and Watson and this whole marriage business. Again thanks for the fantastic chapter and I really hope to read more soon! Please take care and good-bye for now. P.S. Sorry for the long review! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Yay! An update and a brilliant one at that! Hope to read more soon. Poor Holmes and Josh! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Well done. :) |

![]() ![]() ![]() How do you read 31 long chapters in one day? Answer: In one breath! AMAZING story! I love you writing, I love the depth of the characters, I love the plot twist, the joy, the anger, EVERYTHING! Please, please, please, don't abandon this story! |
![]() ![]() Hi, I finally finished it! OMG you have to update soon. This fic was so vivid that I could seen the scenes play out in my head. Can't wait to see what is going to happen next and how its going to play out with John Sherlock in the middle. |
