A big round of applause for you! I loved this. Sooo much. I don't even know what else to say, it was brilliant, with a brilliant ending. I loved.
I have feelings.
I just love it.
:')

It's like I can breathe again. God, I know I said I wanted them to suffer a little, but that was more than a little. I loved it though, it was perfect. A little groveling never hurt anyone.
Mycroft breaks my heart. I love him. And Anthea. What am I saying, I love them all.
On to the last chapter!

YAY! Lovely final, thank you very much, you and your beta, for your great work! This fic is still, and it will be forever, one of my favourites of all the fandom.

Angst. Angst everywhere.

I have school tom- today. Why can't I stop reading this?!

I love Anthea.

That is all.

JOHN! *gross sobbing* The torture and the shoeeees and *more sobbing*
(I actually had tears in my eyes reading some parts)
But then...
Moriarty is dead! *happy dance*
That was perfectly done. It had the perfect wow!surprise!sudden! effect. No over-description to take the effect away. Just Bam! His neck is broken. Bamf!John strikes again. And I swoon.
I loved it.
I also loved their laughter and kiss at the end :) it was perfectly light-hearted and gave me a dark sense of pleasure at the look that must have been on the Holmes' faces. I think they deserve some non-verbal (and maybe verbal) "fuck you's" for a while. I haven't forgiven them.

Also,
I KNEW IT. I knew she looked like Judi Dench! I sooooo knew it!
This makes me irrationally happy.

On to more of these emotionally damaging chapters. This is far from over, after all...
(Not sure if that makes me very happy or very apprehensive)

WHY?!

"I remembered that from school," John explained. "Well, that and 'merci'. I may be making a complete cock-up of this, but at least I'm polite about it."

YOUR JOHN IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I laughed far too loudly at that for this time of night... er, morning.

-"A man's candy floss is sacred,"
-"Your education in the ways of the candy floss is sorely lacking,"
-"Sleep first, outwit evil mastermind later."
Some examples of why I'm irrevocably enamored with your John.

Also, this freaking story is stressful! I'm stressed! They keep getting almost killed! And now John is in the hands of Moriarty! And agsghkddjk. It stresses me. I'm a nervous wreck right now. And I got all teary-eyed with Anthea.
This is detrimental to my health.
*long-suffering sigh*
On to the next.

John, baby, it's ok *hugs*
I love this story, I love Anthea (forever Anthea to me as well), I love the plans and the costumes, I love that they stopped kissing (Oh, thank God, indeed), I LOVE YOUR WRITING, I just love this. All of it.
It's 1:40 a.m. I'm not even going to pretend I'll stop reading now.
Well, I knew as soon as I finished chapter one that sleep was never an option.
*sigh*
Onwards we go...

Nu nu nu nu nu nu, don't let the baddies hurt my John! I'm scared now, of what's to come.
I'll read it anyways, though... It's a good plan, I suppose. In a.. psycopathic sadistic way.
All the angst!
On a brighter note, YAY! For Avra Holmes. :D
She's kind of like M from James Bond in my mind. All badass and brilliant, but with a softer side for her boys. I adore her already.
Aaand... On to the next chapter. With no small amount of trepidation.

Have I mentioned how much I adore bamf!calm!John? I did, didn't I?
Well, this just keeps getting better and better.
On to chapter three... *happy-dance*

I CAN'T EVEN ASDKLJNVDEXZK
Ok.. Ok... I'm far more excited about this story than what's socially acceptable.
Just.. The angst... And everything, and bamf!calm!John always gets to me, because you know that's when he's hurting the most, and Sherlock helping him run even after thinking he betrayed him, and even Anthea is so well portrayed that I feel for her so much. God, I just have a lot of feelings. And it's only chapter one. Asdgdsjdsk.
I cannot wait to read more.
No, seriously. I can't wait. I'm gonna go read more now, okay? Okay.

Awwwww! I love it. Like a lot. Haha this was a great story that was extremely well written with the perfect amounts of angst and humor, and I just gotta love a contrite sherlock and a badass John! Mmmm badass John. Yum! Also, the relationship between anthea and John was rather perfect as well! Thank you for sharing!

Oh yay! What a fabulous story, brought to its fabulous completion! Great job. This was really suspenseful, and I never knew which way it was going to go next. John & Anthea's time on the lam was nerve-wracking and exciting. Their emotional crises gut-wrenching. Great story!

One of the best betrayal-stories I've ever read. Congrats.
