Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh what a wonderful series! I enjoyed all the parts immensely and this was a very fitting and hopeful ending. Nobody comes between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson indeed. *happy sigh* Thank you so much for this. :)

Ah, thank you very much! I couldn't leave the series without a happy end. Now they've both overcome their hangups, they can live happily ever after. :)

Before I read this, I wonder if you could give me a link to Part 4? I've read Parts 1 - 3, but can't find Part 4 anywhere and I'd like to keep it on context . . .

Many thanks!! Looking forward to completing the story.

It is simply the previous post to this one (I don't post anything else here!) but you're right, I intended to insert links to part 4 here and in part 3. I have now corrected that!

Thanks so much!! (Hate to miss anything!)

Fabulous set of stories! Wonderful writing and I love the many details that make the stories breathe and sweat. I love in "A Matter of Affection" -- John returning from getting lunch with a "thin plastic bag" and then thinking about squashed sandwiches during sex. I love how you've managed to keep the essence of the characters shining through - though John seems somewhat older and Sherlock younger and more naif than I see them in the tv series. Though perhaps in matters of the heart, John's experience, and Sherlock's lack would make them seem this way. Also, very hot writing - brava!

Thank you very much! Concerning their respective ages or at least how they feel in the story, I have to admit I wrote the first story before I'd seen the whole series, so I maintained my first impressions of the character throughout. But as you say, clever as Sherlock is, he has no experience of this area in this series, so John's experience is bound to make him seem wiser. But mainly, I'm glad you found it hot. ;)

"“Nobody comes between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson!”"

Thankfully!

A very fitting ending.

Thanks. I thought it was worth pointing that out - whoever else might come into their lives, Holmes and Watson belong together. ;)
