I've always wondered what John's and Harry' relationship played/will be played out, considering the way John spoke about it. Interesting take on their relationhip- makes my heart break a little at the thought. Great fic

Thank you so much! Glad you found it interesting. Heart-breaking was what I was trying for.

Wonderfully IC and I think quite close to how canon would play out, or has played out, I guess.
Thanks. ^^

Very happy that you thought it was IC - yay! I thought I might have taken some liberties with Harry (she's not, um, drunk or generally bad-ass enough? I don't know...). Anyway, thanks so much for commenting!

oh that was lovely, angelmaple!

I like your characterization of Harry. It's different from others I've read. She's a bit older and more mature but still has that Harry-ness to her.

This was definitely worth the wait. I wish we could have this kind of fragile angst on screen between the Watsons, but I doubt that will happen.

I'm relieved that you thought it was worth the wait! I actually had it finished not long after I got to China, and couldn't find a computer with both the internet and Microsoft Word/Open Office till I got my own hooked up to wireless internet.

Anyway, yeah, I sort of... I don't know, I think because I was trying to explore possible angst, I made Harry more serious.

I would also love to see some interactions between Harry and John, preferably of the angsty variety, but I suppose chances are slim since the show is named 'Sherlock'. Still, fingers crossed. I would be happy to see Harry at all on screen, to be honest.

Thank you so much for prompting and commenting!

hmmmm, China. Yeah, I've heard there can be problems with the internet there.

Thank you so much for filling my prompt!

This is an epically late reply but... This: http://community.livejournal.com/spirited_words/21678.html

may still be relevant to your interests?

A portion of the fic portrays the exact same scene as I have written about here, i.e. the mobile giving scene, except IT IS SO MUCH MORE AWESOME than what I've written. Go have a read if you're still interested, I swear it'll be worth your time...

Or, you may have read it already, in which case you know why I'm spamming you like this...

Anyway, all the best!
