I thought it was a very good explanation, actually: I didn't notice it until you pointed it out and then I was like... 'oh, ok... no-sorry-what?'
But the explanation just makes sense.
I didn't get the John's compliment thing, though. Wouldn't that be him saying she'd need to get more than 20yrs younger to be in his age range, implying that she's old?

I do so love your view of John. I am so jealous of Mrs. Hudson getting to have tea with him. Well done.

Ms. Hudson a flirt?! I don't know about this, Kick. Might as well throw in a, what'chu talkin' bout Willis while I'm at it.
Had an insane giggle fit. An INSANE maniacal, MANIACAL I TELL YOU, giggle fit. At the idea of Ms. Hudson being a flirt. I mean yeeeeah she has/had a boyfriend, but he was kinda married and...don't let her find out I said this...she's...old.

Anywhosywhatsits epic story. Good reasoning. Not straying from cannon. Funny. John was cute. When is John NOT cute? Idk. Had a good laugh.

Well-characterized and utterly delightful.

I love your Mrs. Hudson!

Rupert Graves is definitely HAWT. And Mrs Hudson is one saucy old minx ain't she? Come on Mrs H, stop stealing the Holmeses' men! Kidding. This was so refreshing, I'm glad I decided to stalk- ahem- take a look at your profile...Yeah, that's exactly it. ;)

this is a great one

I have to admit I did wonder about the A, B and C. Mrs H rocks.

'And Rupert Graves is definitely a silver fox.'
Yup, definitely.

definitely worked for me. i like your characterization of ms. hudson.

Quite a novel idea! Great story!

Great! Loved the explanation of the flat numbers, I had wondered about that, and though this may not be logical in today's London (I wouldn't know though; I'm American), it made sense in my head. My best explanation was that it was merely iconic to Sherlock Holmes (that may actually be correct).

Loved it. Just "period, end of sentence". Loved it.

Keep writing!

Goodness! This is great! :) I loved you how portrayed John here, it's exactly how I thought John Watson would be :) And Mrs Hudson is fantastic, she reminds me of my Chemistry teacher at high school, but with nerves of steel (well, you have to have nerves of steel to have Sherlock Holmes as your tenant :P) Well, in short, loved this story!

Great explaination! But even better, John and Mrs. Hudson's cute little talk. It's great dialouge, I really loved it. The perspective kind of changed at the end but it worked fine. Nice work :)

Awesome story for Mrs. Hudson, she's a very interesting character.

And you're explanation of the house numbers made sense, and really fleshed out Mr. Hudson's character, though we know nest to nothing about him.

But for me, the best part was from Mrs. Hudson, when she thought, "I'd never have let him move in if I thought he'd break that poor boy's heart." It really tied everything in the fic together. I loved it!

I actually ADORE this. You write Mrs Hudson so very well. 'my Sherlock', aw. Love it!
