Reviews for Confessions of the Master |

![]() ![]() Oh, I'm so in love with your story! I hope you're going to update the story, or is it really the end and you expect us to continue it ourself? Well, then in my mind, watson definitely going to go back to sherlock! Hehehe... They just made for each other, period. Thanks for sharing the story! :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() This has been a beautiful story. The characters are all spot-on, and Josh is an extraordinary character. The plot-line has been intriguing as well. Overall this story has been a beautiful masterpiece and I can only hope that you will update it quickly. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Is this the end of the story? Oo Then it all ended the way I anticipated it would.. (again reminding me of the movie.. Spoiler, lol) It just turns out the way it would have to. Now we are basically back at the beginning. If this is the end, what I surely think it is, I must say this is not what I would have wanted to see at final, but the most probable solution. Although the idea of both and the boy living together is alluring, I know it is most unlikely for men their age and in their time.. Too bad. If this story would be set in modern times maybe it would've ended differently. I'm sure it would have. But well, to sum it up: You did a very extraordinary and great job with putting up this ff. Too bad it stays "just" a fanfiction, I felt like reading one of the real novels/short stories from the Master himself! (At least what I think this could be) And I still do believe Holmes and Watson belong togehter, in whatever respect. Be it as partners, friends, or even lovers (which is highly unlikely). They make up a great team! And now, if you excuse me, I must eat something. Like Homes, unfortunately, I cannot live on tobacco and coffee alone. And I sat on this whole story yesterday from 11pm to 5am, and after 4 hours of sleep started today at shortly past 9m to come to an end now at half past 4 pm. And this is the highest credit I can give such a dedicated author like you. :) You left me speechless from start to end. Thank you! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I still dont know what to make of it.. I would like to be the both getting to a point where they had been before Watson's "denial" (if I may call it so), but I think this isnt going to happen.. A Happy End sounds too tempting, esp. with those characters, and I was constantly looking for the anvil to fall down during the last chapters. I cant get rid of the feeling that this will turn out the way I dont hope it will. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is a noble effort of Holmes to overcome his addiction but I don't like the reason he does it why. I somehow think I know this will end exactly the way I dont this to end. And I would've rushed into the room to comfort him, just to be present if not really being able to help.. I cannot really say if Watson-this time- did the right |
![]() ![]() ![]() I dont like where this is going to.. I don't like it at all.. now you got me sitting with clenched fist and almost crying again in front of my pc, no matter the circumstance my roommate is present.. You can not be so cruel.. T_T It was obvious Holmes would return to his drug habit, and of course it is Watson's "fault". At least partly. But I'll be brave and no matter how ugly things might end, I'm reading this through. You really get me sitting at the edge of my seat, my full admiration for your skill of writing! |
![]() ![]() ![]() You IDIOT! *bangs computer and cries* Of course you lost everything because you just did the very wrong thing! I know it is hard for a man who wants to have a normal life with a wife and kids to admit something like passion for another man, but why can't he just see that the boy isn't a threat but the opposite? I fully agree with what Holmes said about the downfall.. I so hope this is not the end of what should have become a real start.. if even in secret and privacy. *sobs* I do not want to end that.. not THAT way.. *still crying in front of her pc* |
![]() ![]() ![]() No! No no no! I KNEW this would happen! Why is my instinct always right about such things... I confess I dont know either Holmes nor Watson well enough to say aynthing more but I had the feeling that Watson dug too deep in Sherlocks past instead of letting it just lie at the bottom of his abyss. Curiosity killed the cat.. Now you got me crying, because I fear that this somewhat very fragile relationship will end, one way or another. And it is so sad on one hand, yet inavoidable on the other.. *sniff* And I don't want that. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I know Watson is a good father, as far as Victorian times go. But it's fascinating that he won't admit anything in front of his son. The son sees it all, he knows it all, yet Watson still cannot accept in his heart how things are. But Sherlock murdered his sister? Somehow I cannot really think of him doing it.. not even in a state of being out of mind.. Oo Well, even if he did so, Watson should never tell him he found out. Despite the fact of a shaken belief in him, can you be charged for murder after 30 years? I'm not familiar with the law system back then, but was murder not supposed to end with the gaol? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hm.. me too cant find anything in the report which might lead to solve the case.. But the dream, I think, stands for itself. Somehow I don't like the end this might be leading to.. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, I can remember James Joyce-Ulysses. Terrible book. -.- But I'd like to know if Watson and Lestrade can find the murderer of Philly.. We all know Lestrade is no real help to that, but anyway it's nice that he attempts to help. I'm anxious and scared of the possible outturn of the events. Oo |
![]() ![]() ![]() Wow.. that's all I can say. I wonder how you can make this all up in such a detailed, convincing way! Oo I could never do that.. damn me. It's really intresting to see how Young Watson will be like when he's grown up. Most probably similar to Sherlock, as you already mentioned.. Geniuses barely have a good life. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Madras rings a bell.. I'm working right now on Census documents which are really intriguing, and it's intresting to see the data put in action. And of course Holmes is jealous what else could he be? Maybe it's the "ill-logical" fear of losing someone so dear to him. Which, as far I read the chapter, might me more logical than Watson thinks it is. And for the kids: It's especially children who see through the mask of society and detect the innocent side of feelings behind it. They just.. know, as young Watson puts it. When we grow uo, we are bound by social conventions to hide those feelings, esp. in a Victorian environment, a child sees through that all. Watson should've known that.. Oo |
![]() ![]() ![]() Poor childhood memories.. but that explains a great a deal. Again I can only say a great chapter! We're getting to know the "real" Holmes. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Now is the question: Whose words will Watson trust more? I can understand how hard it is to just have heard a major confession from the person you love and now hear something totally different from his brother.. Now I understand Holmes: Trust is a gift hard to obtain and hard to live. |
