This is probably the sweetest and warmest chapter of this fic. I could see their happy Christmas in front of my eyes and almost smell the food they ate.

Good work with a chapter that works so well with the previous. Instead of concentrating on Holmes and Watson's little problem you showed us that they are still the characters we love, and will hopefully solve things out.

But the ending of this chapter worries me a bit. Watson's words... You are not going to kill Holmes, are you?

I love the family feeling that simply radiates out of this chapter. It makes me feel all warm and cosy. Maybe Watson is slowly re-evaluating his decision? *crosses fingers*

And... but... Gah!

-It would be several more months before I would arrive at the answer. But it would at last come to me in a way that pains my memory. But at last I would come to know just how much Sherlock Holmes would risk for me.

And I for he.-

All this happy togetherness, and you just have to throw in this evil forshadowing! Months? Just how long is this going to be? If it is really going to take forever for them to work it out together (I do hope it takes a while), then you simply cannot keep taking this long to turn out each new chapter! I find myself checking my favourites list every time I get near a computer to see if you've updated, even if I had just checked half an hour ago. This is simply not fair! You know, stress can kill. If I fail all my classes and/or drop dead while waiting for this story to update, I place the blame entirely upon your head. Just so you know. Now write!

Sincerely,

Hank

P.S. What gives? You started posting this on the holmesslash list, and then you just stopped. Pleas continue. In the meanwhile, I am helping by shamelessly reccing you to anybody and everybody every chance I get. Good luck!

Oh, it was kinda short, but nonetheless lovely! You are eil for stopping where you did! I compell you to write more and fast! Hugs -

! You're not going to just drag them apart, are you? Tell me you're not DOING that to me! AH!

Good story, but you have me very nervous about 'my boys . . . '

Ugh! I can't finish this until tomorrow, and probably not even then because I have to work ~ but this is an excellent story! I can't wait to finish what's here!

This is so god!

(sorry, that was not very intelligent, but it's what I really think)

I love how you've depicted Holmes, Watson and little Josh, love the writing style and the storyline, how it's developing... (and are they going to make up soon? I hope. Ohoho...;)

Anyway, did you say it was going to be long?

Make it as long as you want, but please put them quick! I think I might haunt this day and night until it finishes... ;;

Another great chapter. I hope school goes easy on you, I know how much of a pain it can be (I started school last week) and I hope you don't abandon this great story. Hugs

hehe I love this chapter. It feels short but the contents make-up for it. one of my favorite part is when josh asked if Holmes he loved him and watson, that is so like three-year-olds to ask questions like the end of the chapter i let out a long breath of relieve. finally the slash parts arrive. Before I felt like it was only hinted at (except in chapter five).at the end i could really feel his struggle. another great chapter.

I remembered the first time i read this I cheered and Clapped at the end. Why? because i am one sadistic mofo. anyway I loved the way you mystery developed into something other than I thought of. the deductions top-notch. also one thing that I particularly enjoy in you story is the way you put in quotes from books and stuff (reminds me of how in my copy of the storys the book has to always put in translations and orgins of quotes and stuff) great chapter!

-Nicole

if there is only one thing that me and holmes have in common it is that we both are the most incurably lazy devils, in fiction and in reality.

the truth is that I have been following your story ever chapter since my last review,i have been checking in everyday to see if you have updated it, and when you do I cant help but feel a little giddy with anticpation before I read on, but for some reason i havent review, and for some reason i feel horrible about it, for as a writer whose has penned a few storys on this site I know how it feels to know that people have been actually reading and enjoying your work (best feeling in the world,if you ask me)

well the only apology I can give is to make-up for my laziness and re-read and review all your new chapters.

i love the ending of this one, I almost gasped when I thought Holmes was about to do the un-thinkable.I'm glad to see your mystery has began to blossom and things are getting complicted, I also like the "fanactical chirsten" little brother, he creeps me out a little.

well its late and tommorrow I must do my homework, but i assure you that by the end of the week I will have reveiwed the rest of you job and please forgive me.

This chapter was so engaging, I lived it instead of read it. Thank you.

Yay! An update! Honestly, you out did yourself with this chapter. I...cannot find words to express it properly, but your writing is amazing. Your characterization is dead on and...just wow!

This was certainly a twist I did not expect. Reichenbach! Very good idea...bravo. I hope you update soon! Good luck with school...I know how much it gets in the way of good writing! LOL! But I really hope you find time to update this is an awesome piece of work!

Good Lord, that was Drama. Really really good - you are very talented writer, you know. Seriously, I can't do anything but praise, so never mind the school, write the next chapter. Quickly :)

Wow! And here I was worried for a second. The ending was kinda cute. Please do keep this going-don't leave us in suspense!
